Russia's revived Soviet music contest to take place in September
MOSCOW (AFP) — Russia will hold its "Intervision" music competition in September, organizers announced on Wednesday, after authorities revived the Soviet-era competition that was meant to rival Eurovision. Moscow has been banned from taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest over its Ukraine offensive and President Vladimir Putin earlier this year ordered for the USSR-version of the contest to be held in Russia this year. The Intervision Song Contest — mainly made up of the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc states — was held in the 1960s and 1970s to rival the West. Organizers said that Intervision 2025 will be held in Moscow's LIVE Arena on Sept. 20, promising artists from "various continents" and "unforgettable emotions." The European Broadcasting Union, the organizer of Eurovision, banned Russia after its February 2022 offensive in Ukraine, meaning it cannot enter or broadcast the contest. Russia has in previous years been a serious Eurovision contender, and took part in the contest since 1994, winning it in 2008. Putin issued a decree in February setting out a plan to hold the alternative contest. The Intervision Song Contest was held in the 1960s and 1970s, before being replaced by the Sopot International Song Festival, held in the Polish Baltic coast city of Sopot, and drawing artists from the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc. Alla Pugacheva, Russia's most famous artist considered as the country's pop queen, won the competition in 1978.

[Exclusive] SM Entertainment will debut new boy band in second half of this year: source
K-pop fans speculate former Hybe trainee JJ may be one potential member SM Entertainment is preparing to launch a new boy band in the second half of this year, according to an industry source on Wednesday. 'From what I know, a new boy band will debut under SM Entertainment this year. The exact date for their debut is unknown, but considering the preparation time, which usually takes about five months, there's a strong possibility the group will debut in the second half,' the source told The Korea Herald, under condition of anonymity. Among fans, a former Hybe trainee known by the stage name JJ is at the center of speculation as one of the potential members for SM Entertainment's new group. The 19-year-old Japanese American appeared as part of the SMTR25 group at SM Entertainment's recent 30th-anniversary 'SMTown Live 2025 in Seoul' concerts, held Saturday and Sunday. The SMTR25 team, comprising 25 male trainees, performed SHINee's 'Lucifer' and EXO's 'Growl' during the two-day event, without the trainees' names being revealed. JJ's face was shown prominently in close-up shots multiple times on screens at the concert venue during the group's performance. JJ first gained public attention through Hybe's YouTube series 'Trainee A' in 2021, which documented the debut process of a new boy band. He was one of seven confirmed finalists, alongside Leo, Sangwon, James, Jihoon, Inhyuk and Jo Woo-chan, but reportedly joined SM Entertainment after failing to debut under Hybe. SM Entertainment declined to comment on the matter. So far, the K-pop powerhouse has not officially announced plans to debut a new boy band, as it is currently focused on introducing its new girl group, Heart2Heart, next month. SM Entertainment co-CEO Tak Young-jun previously revealed in February 2023 that the company plans to launch two new K-pop groups every year under its multiproduction center and label system. 'SM Entertainment originally planned to introduce a new boy band last year, but likely postponed it to time it with the company's 30th anniversary this year,' the source said. 'If the group had debuted last November, their debut might have been overshadowed by the company's preparations for its world tour celebrating the 30th-anniversary concert this month. The timing seems to have been adjusted strategically.'
