等待6年天后Jolin蔡依林回歸！專輯同名單曲〈Pleasure〉上線，蔡依林：現在我想誠實面對自己
華語流行天后蔡依林睽違6年的全新專輯《Pleasure》宣告6月回歸；5月23日同名單曲〈Pleasure〉的封面視覺照「愉悅沉癮」搶先曝光，沿襲首波視覺「美杜莎慾望桂冠」挑戰視覺極限，此次Jolin戲劇張力十足地演譯罪與慾的濃烈交織，指上刺青「Pleasure」揭露慾望的存在，象徵慾望之繩的髮辮卻被緊緊抓牢，視覺照展現出渴望掙脫罪惡感面對慾望的強烈情境。 Jolin全新專輯《Pleasure》同名單曲率先揭開愉悅序幕，化身愉悅之母高唱「Call me Mommy」，以充滿母性的溫柔姿態和眾人一起誠實面對自我，釋放慾望、直視真實，心境遊走在罪惡感與愉悅快感的邊緣。 之所以命名「Pleasure」為專輯名稱及核心，一切源於Jolin的一次自我凝視：「我好像從來沒有停下來問過自己，我喜歡什麼？」 社會總用既定眼光審視「需求」，將深層慾望視而不潔，把表層快感貶為膚淺，讓「愉悅」成了被刻意迴避的主題，我們從不正面談論，也從未真正觸及。現階段的JOLIN選擇誠實面對自己。 她說：「我很想要活出不一樣的女性模樣。」Jolin嘗試用作品鬆綁集體潛意識的枷鎖，將『性』與『人性』放入專輯中，想透過自己的生活經驗與歌迷交流，「我覺得已經能夠面對自己比較醜陋的那一面了。」 此次Jolin大膽演譯罪與慾的濃烈交織，赤裸揭示人性深層的慾望，只見畫面中Jolin指上的「Pleasure」標示了人性最底層對愉悅的渴望，同時象徵慾望之繩的辮髮卻被緊緊抓牢，展現了慾望的壓抑與釋放、愉悅與罪惡同時的並存。 透過如此真實的一面，從未停止探索自己的Jolin意識到這段旅程永無止盡；藉由作品，Jolin也不斷發掘自己不同於過往的面貌，令她在過程中感到驚喜與滿足。她並非定義「慾望」，而純粹想分享：「這些經驗，我也有過。」不需因為面對慾望而感到害羞或罪惡。 蔡依林新歌〈Pleasure〉歌詞 Call me MommyTell me, my little bunnyHoney, tease mePlease meYou know you want meThat's my pleasureShe's not a serpent企圖讓你失了魂是罪惡溫存 為了我的想要極速快樂 要了 犯了 別等犯 犯了 別忍懂你等你直搗我的快樂It's my pleasureYou and me, babyYou and you and me, babyYou and you and meIt's my pleasureYou and me, babyYou and you and me, babyYou and you and meYou and me, you and meCall me MommyTell me, my little bunnyHoney, tease mePlease meYou know you want me黑暗中如影蛇行七情六慾五味雜陳不四不三兩面一體罪惡快感It's my pleasureYou and me, babyYou and you and me, babyYou and you and meIt's my pleasureYou and me, babyYou and you and me, babyYou and you and meYou and me我就是你 臍帶相連陰晴圓缺 欲望有罪愉悅主義 能量不滅百無禁忌 樂園萬歲Nice to meet you it's my pleasureYou know I can give you pleasureTeach you how to do it betterTake you to another level(Ha) Nice to meet you it's my pleasure(Ha) You know I can give you pleasure(Ha) Teach you how to do it better(Ha) Take you to another levelThat's my pleasureThat's my pleasureThat's my pleasureThat's my pleasure 【延伸閱讀】 >>蔡依林Jolin的15個人生金句！「謝謝曾經不看好我的人，讓我一直很努力」激勵在逆境中成長的我們 >>2025韓星來台演唱會＆見面會總整理！韓國天團2NE1、GD、BABYMONSTER演唱會時間購票一次看>>【ELLE封面人物】四十沒有不惑，反而更充滿疑惑，蔡依林：「生命充滿無常，即使是白雪公主，也需要知道人生並沒有那麼完美。」 >> 絕美精靈女王駕到！蔡依林：當你的心是滿的，你就會知道你不需要再去跟別人比較

(Video) YG Entertainment Introduces Evelli As The First Member Of New Girl Group
Prominent K-pop agency YG Entertainment recently revealed that it will soon debut a new girl group. Yesterday night (27th May 2025, Tuesday), the company introduced the first member of the four-member group, Evelli (이벨리). The company has been building anticipation for its new girl group, nicknamed YG Next Monster. YG Entertainment executive producer Yang Hyun Suk (양현석) previously revealed that the group will have four members, like their seniors 2NE1 (투애니원) and BLACKPINK (블랙핑크), and will begin their pre-debut activities later this month. 15-year-old Evelli was introduced as the first member of YG Next Monster through a performance video. In the video, Evelli performed a cover of 'Nosebleeds' from American rapper Doechii, showcasing her talents as a rapper. The video ended with a look at the trainee's profile, revealing her as an 'all-rounder' skilled in singing and rapping. The profile also shows that Evelli is from Australia, 163cm tall, multilingual and has trained in YG Entertainment for 2 years. Within a day, the video raked in over a million views, highlighting the interest in the girl group. However, it also drew mixed reactions from fans and netizens. Those excited about the new debut were impressed by the 15-year-old's skills, saying she seemed to have a lot of potential. Some also said Evelli appears to be a good fit for YG Entertainment, noting she has a similar aura to her seniors in BABYMONSTER (베이비몬스터), notably Ruka (루카/ルカ). However, the introduction video also drew criticism towards YG Entertainment. Many lamented the label's choice to debut someone so young, which is a common argument regarding newly debuted idols. Others argued that her rap skills are still average, noting she could've trained longer to hone her skills. Some also debated the song choice, arguing that 'Nosebleeds' contained themes and topics inappropriate for a minor. Regardless of the criticism, many said they look forward to seeing more from the new girl group. YG Entertainment will continue to reveal the other members of YG Next Monster through various teaser content. What are your thoughts on Evelli so far? Check out her video below: Sources: YouTube, Twitter

K-Pop acts that took over Coachella through the years
Epik High – 2016, 2022 Veterans of Korean hip-hop, Epik High brought swagger and lyricism in equal measure. Their 2016 debut was low-key but magnetic; by 2022, they returned, ready to remind the crowd that rhythm, when wielded right, can be its own form of rebellion. BLACKPINK – 2019, 2023 (and beyond) Above BLACKPINK - 'Pretty Savage' Live at Coachella 2023 If there's a singular inflexion point in this saga, it's BLACKPINK in 2019. As the first K-pop girl group to perform at Coachella, their set was sleek, searing, and historically resonant. By 2023, they weren't merely part of the festival—they were the festival. Headliners. Icons. Four solo stages. One cultural phenomenon. And in 2025, Lisa and Jennie return, each taking the stage on their own terms, a kind of glittering déjà vu with more diamonds and fewer doubts. 2NE1 – 2022 A reunion whispered about in forums and willed into existence by collective nostalgia. When 2NE1 appeared, unannounced, to perform I Am the Best , time collapsed. It was a reminder that K-pop's history is rich, complicated, and deeply adored. aespa – 2022 Above aespa vlogs at Coachella Where 2NE1 summoned memory, aespa conjured the future. Their Coachella debut was all metaverse and momentum, a sonic spectacle powered by AI avatars and cybernetic flair. In a sea of indie boys and recycled synths, aespa felt like a glitch in the matrix—in the best possible way. Jackson Wang – 2022, 2023 Above Jackson Wang - Coachella 2023 Tech Rehearsal Video Charisma in human form, Jackson Wang was a moment in Coachella. His 2022 debut was charged, but 2023 saw him enter a new gear, teaming up with BIBI for Feeling Lucky before launching into a set that blurred the line between pop concert and fever dream. BIBI – 2022, 2023 Sultry, strange, and sublime, BIBI brings an edge that's hard to define. Her 2022 set hinted at chaos; her 2023 duet with Jackson confirmed it. Hers is a performance style that resists polish—and therein lies its power. DPR LIVE and DPR IAN – 2023 Think less boy band, more cinematic universe. The DPR collective delivered a visceral, genre-hopping performance in 2023, equal parts poetry and pyrotechnics. R&B, hip-hop, and the occasional existential crisis—all in one set. ATEEZ – 2024 Above ATEEZ in Coachella It took over a decade, but Coachella finally welcomed its first K-pop boy group in 2024. Their performance was a masterclass in stamina and synchronisation, the kind of set that leaves both fans and festival execs wondering: why didn't this happen sooner? LE SSERAFIM – 2024 With elegance and edge, LE SSERAFIM captivated 2024 audiences, melding powerful choreography with vocals that felt both sharp and tender. Theirs is a group that understands the paradox of performance—precision that still feels free. The Rose – 2024 For those seeking something quieter, something aching, The Rose offered respite. Their 2024 set was plaintive and poetic, a balm amidst the bombast. Proof that K-pop isn't a monolith—it's a spectrum. ENHYPEN – 2025 Above ENHYPEN at Coachella 2025 A newer group with old-school polish, ENHYPEN's arrival in 2025 felt inevitable—like the beat drop you know is coming, but still sends shivers when it hits. XG – 2025
