On the night of Thursday, April 10, South Korean boy band ENHYPEN hit the stage on ABC's  Jimmy Kimmel Live with body rolls and screaming young kpop fans in the studio audience, as they performed their new English language single "Loose," for their American television debut. The performance left an impression on the television viewing audience across the country, with at least one viewer calling into an ABC local news station in Kentucky well after midnight, inquiring about the name of the group.  The excited viewer asked the morning show news producer who picked up the phone, questions about where to find information about ENHYPEN, and where exactly the group was from.  After the producer explained the kpop genre to the viewer, and shared information on how to find the performance on the Jimmy Kimmel Live YouTube channel, the caller then encouraged the producer to watch the performance herself, in which she later did, thus becoming a new fan of the group as well. ...

Song of The Day: NIKI - "SUGARPLUM ELEGY"

By Nefertiti Jenkins
A bittersweet Christmas love song, because sometimes, it's just the end of the road. Singer NIKI first uploaded her "SUGARPLUM ELEGY" track to her YouTube channel on December 12. The label she's signed to, 88rising, uploaded the audio to its YouTube channel on December 23. Written and produced by NIKI, she says the song came out of nowhere, and she wrote and self-produced it in her bedroom, during a time where she felt "cold and clogged, in every sense."  Her raspy vocals on the track capture a time of finality and sorrow... Great was our love, it was one for the books/ We gave it the best that we could/ but I won’t recite all my lines just to watch you and I...lie/ I’m so proud I got to love you once.    The Indonesian native, and rising star, dropped her debut EP "Zephyr," back in May. Check out her new song, and today's Song of The Day - "SUGARPLUM ELEGY" now below.
