X:IN K-pop group interview: On their third mini album Defend Myself, their creative process, and India connection
For multi-national K-pop group X:IN, working on their latest mini album Defend Myself has been a deeply reflective and personal journey. The five member group — comprising Korean members E:sha, Nizz, and Hannah, Russian member Nova and Indian member Aria — is currently basking in the aftermath of the album's release in May. When the group debuted in 2023, they garnered significant attention in India for having a member from Kerala, Aria. Aria is among the few artistes of Indian origin in K-pop, which includes Sriya Lenka from Odisha who is a part of the K-pop group Blackswan. Presenting an autobiographical narrative of their inner conflict and emotional turmoil in Defend Myself, the group also consciously emphasises on protecting themselves amidst all the chaos, in the songs of this third mini- album. 'We focussed on the vulnerabilities and challenges of being in the spotlight. All of us were keenly involved in the creation of this album,' says E:Sha, the group's leader. Speaking from Seoul via a Zoom call, the group is all smiles and eager to talk about their journey thus far, and what lies ahead. While they have actively been a part of the creative process and their songs in the past, Aria calls their increased involvement in Defend Myself a 'huge stepping stone'. 'This was a significant learning experience for us,' she says. Since their debut in April 2023, X:IN has released two mini albums and also notably collaborated with Russian singer TSOY on the digital single 'Seoul- Moskva' which featured lyrics in Russian, English and Korean. Of the four tracks in Defend Myself, the title track 'Attention Seeker' explores the members' image, vulnerability and longing to be seen as well as what it takes to be their authentic selves. A slick music video pictured on the group was shot in a desert as well, and Hannah recalls how they were initially worried about wearing sandals and slippers in the dust and heat there, and possible snake sightings. While they thankfully did not have any reptilian encounters, Nova laughs about how uncooperative the wind was. 'We set up a shot wanting my dress to swish and flutter around me, only for the winds to stop the minute we began shooting,' she says. The autobiographical track 'Almost Done' however seems to be the group's favourite, which chronicles their growth and the work they have put in through hard times. 'Writing the lyrics for this song felt special because I felt like it showcases my story, and my journey in the industry. It was a difficult track, but I like how the song sounds and our voices blend well,' Nova says. 'I could imagine myself on stage, and how I would express myself while performing this song,' Hannah chimes in. For Nizz, 'Bitter Love', a song that expresses the emotional push and pull of a complicated relationship presented a different challenge. 'Unlike the other songs which were experience-based, we had to write this from our imagination and this was a fun creative process,' she recalls. High-energy vocals is a unifying factor through all four songs and the song 'Sabaha' as well blends this with strong house music influences. Since their debut, the members acknowledge different areas where they have been able to see their growth and evolution as artistes. 'Singing and dancing at the same time for instance used to be daunting. Over the years, I have got used to it and instead of worrying about it, I now recognise that it's a part of the job and go with the flow,' E:sha says. X:IN has performed in India twice in the K-Wave festival in Bengaluru in 2023 and in the Falcon Festival in Umrangso, Assam in 2024. For Aria, performing in her home country has always felt special. 'I initially did not know what to expect during our first performance in Bengaluru, but the energy was amazing. Knowing I am special to them, I feel a greater sense of responsibility and happiness that I am representing the country,' she says. The other members share her enthusiasm for performing here, and Nova says they are always excited to come to India. 'We recharge from our audience, and it has always been amazing performing in India,' she says. From places to visit to what food the girls should try, Readys (the X:IN fandom name) in India have always had tons of suggestions for Aria, and she hopes that they will be able to do all of this in the future, and film a detailed vlog during a visit to India as well. Three mini albums in, Nova now hopes for them to work on a full length music album soon. Post the release of Defend Myself, the group shows no signs of slowing down for the rest of the year, and have a packed wish list for 2025. 'I want to take the first place on the music charts,' Hannah says, while Nizz wishes for them to perform in the large year end music festivals in South Korea. 'We also hope to visit more countries and meet our fans. More onstage performances is something we really look forward to,' Aria says.

What's Lee Min Ho doing after Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint? Know plot, cast and filming details for Assassins role
Hallyu superstar Lee Min Ho is said to be taking on a bold new project for the big screen. Industry insiders report that the actor has been cast in the upcoming historical thriller Assassins. While an official casting announcement has yet to be released, sources close to the production say that Lee has confirmed his participation and is preparing for the role. Assassins plot Lee Min Ho is allegedly branching into unfamiliar territory with Assassins. The movie will explore the real-life mystery behind the 'August 15 sniper incident.' The event refers to the tragic 1974 assassination of South Korea's First Lady Yuk Young Soo. She was fatally shot by Moon Se Gwang, an ethnic Korean residing in Japan. It happened during a Liberation Day speech by then-President Park Chung Hee at the National Theater in Seoul. The film is to be directed by veteran filmmaker Hur Jin Ho. It will not merely recount historical facts but dive into the unanswered questions surrounding the assassination. Moon Se Gwang confessed to the crime and reportedly fired four shots. However, witnesses and archival records suggest more gunshots were heard. This sparked decades-long speculation and conspiracy theories. Assassins aims to reconstruct the day's events through this lens of uncertainty. Key cast If confirmed, Lee Min Ho will join acclaimed actors Yoo Hae Jin and Park Hae Il. Both are already reported to be attached to the project. With such an ensemble, the film is expected to carry serious dramatic weight. Lee's casting is particularly noteworthy as Assassins would mark his first foray into a political-historical thriller. It's a major shift from his past roles in films like Gangnam Blues and Bounty Hunters, among others. Riding the momentum This report follows closely on the heels of Lee Min Ho's highly anticipated upcoming film, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. It is set to release in July 2025. As buzz builds around that fantasy-action adaptation, Assassins could cement Lee's growing presence on the silver screen. Production status Currently in pre-production, Assassins is finalizing its main cast and aims to begin filming later this year. Fans will have to wait for official casting confirmation. Moreover, excitement is already mounting around the prospect of Lee Min Ho leading a genre he has yet to explore. Whether portraying a conflicted antihero, a sharp investigator, or a historical figure caught in political intrigue, Lee Min Ho's rumored involvement in Assassins suggests a major career pivot.
