SEOUL, July 22 — Korean-Canadian singer Jeon Somi will release her second EP Chaotic & Confused on August 11, her label The Black Label confirmed today.
The EP comes two years after her first solo mini album Game Plan, which dropped in August 2023, Korea JoongAng Daily reported.
The comeback follows the release of her digital single Extra on July 7 – her first new track in nearly a year since Ice Cream was released in 2023.
Somi first rose to fame as the breakout star of girl group I.O.I, formed through the reality survival show Produce 101 in 2016.
She officially went solo in 2019 under The Black Label, a YG Entertainment subsidiary, debuting with the single Birthday.
Known for her bold fashion, genre-hopping music, and fluent English, she has since established herself as a Gen Z pop icon across Asia.

(Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : The Kuala Lumpur sessions court has ordered a woman accused of posting content featuring a fake marriage certificate involving a member of royalty to undergo psychiatric observation. Judge Norma Ismail made the order following an application by deputy public prosecutor Ravendejit Kaur to obtain a mental health report on the accused, Persana Avril Sollunda, before the proceedings continue. Norma ordered the 43-year-old former model to be placed under medical observation at Hospital Bahagia in Tanjung Rambutan, Perak, for one month. 'The court allows the accused to receive treatment and undergo a full psychiatric evaluation,' Utusan Malaysia quoted her as saying. The court has set Aug 19 for the next mention of the case.

‘Menamakanmu Cinta': Siti Nurhaliza, Ade Govinda reunite for wedding-ready love ballad (VIDEO)

KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 — Renowned Malaysian singer Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza and celebrated Indonesian composer Ade Govinda have returned to captivate fans with their latest collaboration, Menamakanmu Cinta, an emotionally driven love song. In a statement today, Siti Nurhaliza said the new single carries a positive message about appreciating loved ones. 'I hope this song will be enjoyed by all listeners and become a love anthem that brings together memories and emotions. It is also a reminder to cherish love in our lives. 'It was created with deep emotion and intention, with each lyric reflecting the beauty of true love,' she said. This is not their first collaboration — Ade previously wrote three songs for the national songstress for her 2014 album Fragmen, namely Terbaik Bagimu, Engkau and Tak Pernah Ragu. Ade, meanwhile, said working with the mother of two was a truly special experience. 'The initial idea for this song came from my desire to create a love song that could be sung at any wedding by anyone celebrating love. Working with Datuk Seri Siti was fast and enjoyable, and allowed me to explore her vocal range in an extraordinary way in a short period of time,' he said in a statement. He also expressed hope that Menamakanmu Cinta would become the soundtrack of life for anyone in love. 'It's not just about melody or lyrics, but a heartfelt expression that touches the soul and captures the depth of emotion between couples,' he added. — Bernama

From aespa's universe to solo stage: SM virtual artist Naevis returns with new single ‘Sensitive' Aug 7

SEOUL, July 22 — SM Entertainment's virtual artist Naevis is set to return with a new single titled Sensitive, scheduled for release on August 7 at noon. The track marks her first comeback since her debut single Done dropped in September last year, according to a report published in The Korea Herald today. 'Sensitive is a pop dance track with a groovy, funk-infused bassline and rhythmic vocals,' SM Entertainment said. The agency said the lyrics show the virtual artist's emotional experience transitioning from the digital world into reality for the first time. Naevis was originally introduced as part of aespa's fictional universe. While aespa's narrative explores travel between real and virtual realms, Naevis acts as a support figure for both the real members and their avatars. She debuted the track Done during aespa's 2024 world tour Synk: Parallel Line ahead of its official release. Her upcoming single Sensitive was also performed during SM's joint concert The Culture, The Live in January.
