AB6IX's Park Woojin to return as solo act
He participated in all aspects of the single, from the concept and songwriting to visuals, to better express his style through the song. It will be his first solo endeavor in over two years after the EP, 'Own.' He was the first member of the band to drop a solo album.
On Wednesday, bandmate Lee Daehwi released the project single 'Lovestruck' via Contents X and Dream Us Company. For the project, the singer and producer sang of first love over the sounds of an acoustic guitar.
Both members debuted in 2019 as members of the four-piece act after being part of the project band Wanna One. AB6IX's latest album is its ninth EP 'Born Like This' from October.

Ab6iX to release 10th EP later this month
Ab6ix announced Friday that it is planning to return on Aug. 25 with its tenth EP, 'Upside Down.' The new album follows about ten months after the group's previous EP, 'Born Like This.' While putting together the new mini album, the four members held the 'BE:6IX' fan concert in Seoul in mid-June. For the two-day event, they rearranged their repertoire — which included 'Nvked' from the ninth EP — for a band format. Ab6ix debuted in 2019 with the EP 'B:Complete' and was initially made up of five members, including main vocalist Lee Dae-whi and main dancer Park Woo-jin. The two were finalists in the second season of 'Produce 101' and part of the resulting project band, Wanna One. In 2020, Lim Youngmin left the team after apologizing for driving under the influence.

Naver Webtoon to launch new short-form video service
New service Cuts to offer original series by popular webtoon artists Naver Webtoon is set to launch a new short-form video service called Cuts, designed to offer a new webtoon experience. On Monday, the company unveiled Cuts via a special episode of the hit series "My Daughter Is a Zombie." With the film adaptation of "My Daughter Is a Zombie" slated to premiere Wednesday, the episode doubled as a cross-promotional effort, featuring characters from the webtoon teasing the movie while introducing the new Cuts platform. According to the webtoon episode, Naver Webtoon will debut 'A Day in the Life of Ms. Kim Ae-yong' (translated), a slice-of-life comedy starring Ae-yong, the feline character from "My Daughter Is a Zombie," exclusively on Cuts. The series will follow the daily lives of the webtoon's family members, with the cat as the series' main protagonist. Additional original series by popular webtoon creators are also in the pipeline for the platform. Slated to roll out in September, Cuts marks a shift from the traditional vertical-scroll webtoon format by offering webtoon series as short-form video content. The move follows Naver Webtoon's earlier foray into short-form with the New & Hot feature launched in May on its North American platform. New & Hot focused on recaps of existing webtoons in a short-form format, whereas the upcoming Korean launch will blend both recap content and exclusive original productions. Cuts arrives as Generation Z and young Millennial audiences — the core consumers of webtoons — increasingly turn to short-form video as their medium of choice. According to the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family's 2024 Youth Media Usage and Harmful Environment Survey released in April, 94 percent of Korean students from grades 4 to 6 in elementary school, as well as middle and high schoolers, reported that they consumed short-form content. In April, Kakao Entertainment also stepped into the format, launching Helix Shorts, which features AI-generated videos designed to promote webtoons on Kakao Page.
