Younha's new album is receiving rave reviews not only in Korea but also abroad. "Winter Flower," one of the tracks in the new release, has topped iTunes song charts in 43 countries. This song, featuring BTS leader RM, entered the top ten on the iTunes charts in 70 countries since the album was released on Monday evening. Younha's management agency also reported that she became the first Korean female solo artist to have her song reach No. 1 on America's iTunes top song chart. Her latest album "Unstable mindset" is the sequel to the mini album "Stable Mindset" released last July. Sechs Kies, one of the hottest boy bands from the late 1990s, is returning as a four-member group. The quartet's management agency made their comeback official by announcing that a new album will be released on the 28th of this month. The group's return comes two years and four months since their 9th album was released in September 2017. A variety show in 2016 brought them together as a five-member group, minus Ko Ji-yong, after they disbanded in 2000. And last year its main vocalist Kang Sung-hoon left the team due to health issues. So, the latest album will feature only four members - Eun Ji-won, Lee Jae-jin, Kim Jae-duck and Jang Su-won. The first-generation idol group gave it their all on the album since it's the first one to be released since their regrouping.
