LISA - SaWaDiKa (Official Music Video) 　

LISA has released SaWaDiKa as an official music video, posted to her Vevo channel on 4 September 2026 (KST). The title is neither Korean nor English — it is Thai, and that is the first thing worth explaining here. SaWaDiKa is a greeting, and the last syllable is gendered สวัสดีค่ะ, romanised in the title as SaWaDiKa, is the ordinary Thai hello. Sawasdee is the greeting proper, adapted from the Sanskrit svasti, meaning wellbeing or good fortune. The ค่ะ on the end is a politeness particle that female speakers attach to a sentence; a male speaker would say ครับ instead. So the phrase is courteous and gendered by construction, not by tone of voice. LISA is Thai, born in Buriram province, and remains the only member of BLACKPINK who is not Korean — this is her first language rather than a borrowed phrase. About this release SaWaDiKa was published on 4 September 2026 (KST) with no featured artist credited. The official description carries follow links for LISA and for LLOUD, the company she established for her solo work, along with a pre-save link filed under the name PRESSPLAY. The hashtags point to that same name, which suggests the track belongs to a wider project rather than standing alone. Watching from outside Korea If you go looking for the song later, use the spelling in the title: SaWaDiKa. The commoner romanisations of the greeting — sawasdee, sawadee, sawaddee — will not reliably surface this release on YouTube or streaming services, and the hashtags are the steadier route.

Balwoo Gongyang 　

Korean temple cuisine, served as a course on the fifth floor of the Templestay centre opposite Jogyesa. It is run by the Jogye Order's cultural foundation, so this is the real thing rather than an interpretation: no meat, and none of the five pungent vegetables - garlic, onion, spring onion, chive, asafoetida - which Buddhist monks avoid. That makes it one of the few places in Seoul where a strict vegetarian or vegan can eat a full Korean course without negotiation. Reserve ahead.

NEXZ(넥스지) "SAUCIN 　

NEXZ put out the video for “SAUCIN’” on the JYP Entertainment channel on 24 August 2026. The official description fixes the moment precisely — 6 p.m. KST, a Monday — and that hour is a convention, not a coincidence. Six in the evening, the Korean release hour Almost every Korean single lands at 6 p.m. local time, and the description says so in capitals. It was not always that way. For years labels released at midnight, because the domestic streaming services ran real-time charts hour by hour, and in the small hours a modest number of listeners could carry a song to the top of one. Around 2020 the main platforms retired or froze the overnight ranking, and the incentive vanished. Six became the standard instead: the end of the school and office day, with the evening still ahead. About this release “SAUCIN’” was published on 24 August 2026 on JYP Entertainment’s YouTube channel. The description carries no producer or featured credits, and no parent album or EP is named — only the title, the release time, a listening link and the tags. Rights are held jointly by JYP Entertainment and Sony Music Labels Inc., the arrangement NEXZ releases have carried since the group began. Watching from outside Korea If you want to follow a Korean release as it happens, convert the hour once and remember it: 6 p.m. KST is 10 a.m. in London, 11 a.m. in central Europe and 5 a.m. on the American east coast. The date on the video will still show in your own time zone.

[MV] HITGS(힛지스) _ Gulliver! 　

“Gulliver!” is the new track from HITGS, published with a music video in late August 2026. The upload arrived through the 1theK channel with no credit block and no album attached, which leaves the title itself as the most concrete thing to work from. A title that needs no translation Korean release metadata usually carries a track name twice: once in Hangul, once in a romanised or English form, because domestic platforms, overseas stores and chart companies each pull from a different field. A title like “Gulliver!” sidesteps that split. It is a proper noun already set in the Latin alphabet, and in Korean it is simply 걸리버 — the traveller from Jonathan Swift’s 1726 novel, published locally as 걸리버 여행기 and familiar enough that the name needs no gloss. The string on a Korean streaming page is the string a listener in London sees, punctuation included. About this release No album or EP is named anywhere in the posting. The video went up on 27 August 2026 via 1theK, the distribution channel, and the official description consists only of that channel’s standard boilerplate plus its notice that views counted there feed into music-show rankings. No producer, featured artist or writing credit is listed. Watching from outside Korea To find anything further on HITGS, search the Hangul form 힛지스 rather than the Latin spelling. Korean music press, community boards and streaming pages index the Korean name first, and the romanised version turns up considerably less.

ALL(H)OURS (올아워즈) ‘HOP’ Official M/V 　

ALL(H)OURS released the official video for “HOP” on 25 August 2026, ahead of the mini album it comes from. That album, UNBOUND, is the group’s sixth, and it is dated for 10 September. Six mini albums, counted in public Korean groups work in mini albums — 미니앨범, the local word for an EP — and they number them in public. Billing UNBOUND as a sixth mini is a plain statement of career stage: five cycles behind them, this one next. The format usually runs four to six tracks, which is about what a group needs to fill the few weeks it spends promoting before the next release. Full-length albums, 정규, are counted on a separate ledger and often held back for anniversaries, so a group can be years into its career with a long run of minis and no 정규 at all. About this release “HOP” belongs to UNBOUND, the sixth ALL(H)OURS mini album, scheduled for 10 September 2026 at 6pm KST. The video went up on the group’s official channel before that date. The description names no producer, writer or featured artist — only the album title and the release time, which is normal for a video posted ahead of the record. Watching from outside Korea Korean albums arrive at 6pm KST rather than at local midnight. For UNBOUND that means roughly 10am in London and 5am in New York, still on 10 September. If you follow first-week numbers, count from Seoul’s clock, not your own.

TNX - ‘Die Another Day’ MV 　

TNX released ‘Die Another Day’ on 27 August 2026, and this video went up on the group’s own YouTube channel the same day. It is their third digital single, put out through P NATION. The label signed stars first and built a group second P NATION opened in 2019 and spent its early years as a home for performers who already had careers — soloists who arrived as established names rather than trainees raised in house. That is the reverse of the usual Korean order, where an agency assembles a group first and adds solo signings later. TNX, who debuted in 2022, were the label’s first idol group and the first act it developed from the ground up. The practical effect is that they came up inside a company organised around individual careers, not one built to service a single flagship team. About this release ‘Die Another Day’ is TNX’s third digital single, published on 27 August 2026. The official description names no producer, writer or featured artist; it gives the release title, the tags #TNX and #티엔엑스, and a 2026 copyright line for P NATION. Anything beyond that is not stated by the group. Watching from outside Korea For Korean-language coverage, search 티엔엑스 rather than TNX — the Hangul spelling turns up local articles and fan posts that the Latin initials miss. The video sits on the group’s own channel, so later releases and follow-up clips will appear in the same place.

RIIZE 라이즈 　

RIIZE released “Sunburst” on 26 August 2026 as the title track of their third Japanese single. The video went out through SM Entertainment’s SMTOWN channel, the same channel that carries the group’s Korean releases. A Japanese single carries three songs, not one The tracklist here lists “Sunburst”, “Rise Over” and “KILL SHOT”. That is the standard shape of a Japanese single release, and it differs from Korean practice, where a digital single is usually one song and everything larger is called an album or a mini album. Japan’s physical single format has long carried a lead track plus two or three others, often with the extra songs exclusive to that release. Korean groups working in Japan adopt the local format rather than exporting their own, which is why a “single” from a K-pop act can arrive with more music than an EP’s worth of promotion around it. About this release “Sunburst” is RIIZE’s third Japanese single, published 26 August 2026. The official description gives the full tracklist — “Sunburst”, “Rise Over” and “KILL SHOT” — and points to the group’s separate Korean and Japanese official channels, plus a channel for BRIIZE, the name RIIZE use for their fandom. No producer or songwriter credits were listed with the video. Watching from outside Korea Japanese releases from Korean groups are often region-restricted on streaming services even when the video is not. If the audio is unavailable where you are, the SMTOWN upload is usually the one version accessible worldwide, and the hashtags in the description point to the group’s other channels.

CHUNG HA 청하 | Digital Single [México] Music Video 　

CHUNG HA has released the music video for México, a digital single, on the channel that carries her own name. The description points only to her personal accounts and to MORE VISION, the label she signed with in 2023. Seven years is the standard contract Korean entertainment contracts have an unofficial ceiling. In 2009, after a run of public disputes between idols and their agencies, the Fair Trade Commission published a model exclusive contract that set seven years as the maximum term. Agencies were never compelled to adopt it, but it became the industry norm, which is why so many careers pivot on the same interval — groups reach year seven and members re-sign one at a time or leave. CHUNG HA debuted as a soloist in 2017 under MNH Entertainment and moved to MORE VISION in 2023, roughly on that schedule. About this release México is a digital single, published on 1 September 2026 KST. The official description names no producer, writer or featured artist. It carries hashtags for CHUNG HA, MORE VISION and the title, plus links to her Instagram, Twitter and TikTok and to the label’s accounts. The copyright line reads CHUNG HA rather than a distributor. Watching from outside Korea The video sits on CHUNG HA’s own channel rather than a distributor’s, so it should play in most territories without the regional blocks that occasionally affect label-group uploads. If you want subtitles, check the settings menu — many Korean uploads carry only auto-generated captions.
