Star street dancer Aiki finds new expression in musical debut ‘Frida'
Aiki is best known for her breakout on Mnet's 'Street Woman Fighter' and for her popularity as a TikTok influencer. Last month, she stepped onto an entirely new scene, making her musical debut in the original Korean production, 'Frida.' For the star dancer, who has long gravitated toward spaces 'where music, dance and song exist,' the stage itself is familiar. But embodying a completely different character was new territory — one she described as 'therapeutic.' 'I realized how limited I had been in expressing emotion,' she said during a group interview with reporters on Thursday. 'My (dance) performances were mostly about energy — focused on joy and projecting strength. But here, expressing the full spectrum of emotions, not only the positive ones, but anger and sorrow too, has been incredibly healing.' The training process, she said, also revealed a new side of herself. 'At first, I was embarrassed when I cried during rehearsals,' she recalled. 'As a dancer, crying often felt like weakness, like losing, you know? But here, tears felt like genuine emotions, and I learned to accept that. It made me want to express not just bright and positive feelings, but also darker emotions on stage in the future.' Now in its third run, 'Frida' traces the life of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, portraying how she transformed lifelong pain into art. The story unfolds as a play within a play, with Kahlo appearing as a guest on a late-night talk show. Aiki plays Refleja, the talk show host, and within the play's framing device, also takes on the role of Kahlo's complex lover Diego Rivera. At first, she said, juggling dancing, acting and delivering lines all at once felt awkward. But the role ultimately played to her strengths: her playful personality as the show host and her skills as a dancer. Her talents shine most in the standout number 'Hummingbird,' where each actor playing Diego performs their own specialty act. Aiki choreographed her own routine for the sequence, weaving together street dance locking, dance sport Latin steps and samba-based movements — earning nightly cheers from audiences. 'And I like to sprinkle in ad-libs, just to make sure each audience has a little extra fun that day,' she said. Yet, in other scenes, she deliberately reined herself in. 'I worked closely with the choreographer to find the right level of dance for the show, something that wouldn't steal the focus but would support Frida and complement the story,' she explained. Aiki's leap into musical theater also shifted how she views her identity. 'I think of myself as an artist, not just a dancer,' she said. 'I believe there's always a reason why I'm drawn to certain things, and I've never regretted following those instincts. This challenge feels like a gift — it's hard to unwrap, but it's worth it.' 'Frida' runs through Sept. 7 at Interpark Uniplex in Seoul's Daehangno district.

Agarmon: monster 'born at the moment of orgasm' questions birth, existence
Inaugural MMCA x LG OLED series exhibition shows Tzusoo's new works A mysterious translucent object with moss on it occupies the center of the Seoul Box at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea. The object is placed on a 9-meter-tall stainless steel installation with an overhead lamp. The floor of the installation is covered with stones. The creature, named 'Agarmon 5,' is composed of agar and moss, and the 'Agarmon Incubator' controls water, humidity and lighting, creating an artificial environment to sustain the creature's life. Korean artist Tzusoo, who chose the life of an artist while deferring pregnancy and childbirth, questions the meaning of existence and life by creating and caring for the creature. After the exhibition ends, the artist will take care of it for as long as she can. ''Agarmon 5 will be taken care of somewhere even after the show. Agarmon 1, 3 and 4 are already being looked after,' the artist said on Thursday. 'But Agarmon 2 died as the environment was not suitable, and my dad, who took care of it, felt so sad and buried it in a mountain behind his house.' The exhibition 'MMCA×LG OLED Series 2025 — Tzusoo Agarmon Encyclopedia: Leaked Edition' is the inaugural exhibition of the annual MMCA x LG OLED series, a collaborative project supporting digital art. The selected artist's works will be shown at the Seoul Box, the central exhibition space at the state museum. 'Agarmon is a monster born at the moment of orgasm — moments when sexual energy bursts. We are living in a world where childbirth is no longer seen as a necessity, and those beings become nothing if they are not fertilized. So I discovered these entities and felt that I needed to protect them,' she said. A pair of digital installations, 'The Eight Spirits of Flesh — TAE' and 'The Eight Spirits of Flesh — GAN' — on display reveal the world around the Agarmon. The concept of 'The Eight Spirits of Flesh' was derived from the 'eight trigrams,' the fundamental symbols in Chinese philosophy and cosmology, according to the museum. 'They are spiritual creatures, not necessarily holy,' the artist said, looking at the moving images of creatures in the digital works. 'Those spiritual creatures might appear again in my works in the future. Now there are two screens here, one for each spiritual creature, but it is interesting for me to imagine how they could make different synergy with more screens.' The exhibition will run through Feb. 1, 2026.

Koyote to return with new single in August
Co-ed trio to return with Re-DM genre Legendary Korean co-ed group Koyote is making a comeback on Aug. 6 with the brand-new single, 'Call Me.' The new music marks the trio's first release since 'Four Seasons' dropped in November 2023. While 'Four Seasons' leaned into modern rock and featured strong guitars, the upcoming track explores a fresh genre called 'Re-DM'—a blend of retro vibes and trendy EDM elements. The new song is composed by Choi Jun-young, the hitmaker behind Koyote's iconic hits such as 'Pure Love' and 'Broken Heart,' raising fans' expectations for a return to the trio's familiar yet evolving sound. In a behind-the-scenes recording video released Thursday, member Shin Ji shared, 'I first met producer Choi Jun-young when I was a sophomore in high school. Working with him again brought back those memories. We're ready to show the true root of Koyote." The group also revealed a set of concept photos featuring all three members in matching black suits and sunglasses, presenting a bold and unified look. Alongside the comeback, Koyote is set to kick off a series of concerts in Korea and abroad. The trio will perform in Sydney on Sunday, followed by stops in Daegu on Sept. 7, Seoul on Sept. 20–21, Ulsan on Nov. 15, Busan on Nov. 29 and Changwon on Dec. 27 as part of a nationwide tour.
