K-pop powerhouse EVERGLOW is set to embark on their 2024 "Pulse & Heart" tour, marking their return to the international stage after a series of successful releases and promotions. The tour kicks off on September 18th in Los Angeles at The Orpheum Theatre and will take the group through major cities across the United States, including San Francisco, Tacoma, Denver, Chicago, and New York, before wrapping up in Phoenix on October 6th. This tour follows the group's recent comeback, which included the release of their fifth single album, Zombie, on June 10, 2024. The lead single, produced by Grammy-winning team The Stereotypes and 9am, quickly climbed the charts, solidifying EVERGLOW's status as one of the top groups in the K-pop scene.

Revealed originally back in August 2019, YouTube will be releasing an eight-episode documentary featuring K-pop girl group TWICE on April 29 titled TWICE: Seize the Light through their YouTube Originals platform. The documentary will include in-depth interviews and behind the scenes footage covering their 2019 world tour in Asia and North America, TWICELIGHTS.

Continuing TWICE's more mature theme starting from "FANCY," this time they're back with "Feel Special" featuring a lot of glitzy visuals including a gold chandelier and backgrounds. Musically, it's a bit of a departure from TWICE's typical upbeat "happy" tempo.

 

Looking deeper, the video appears to portray subtly about some of the struggles the members have incurred since debuting.
The song doesn't hook me from my initial reaction, but in the past, TWICE has released songs that gradually got better the more I listen to it.

 

As of this post, the video has 6.4 million views and ranked #21 on Trending on Youtube just 7 hours since release.
