Finally, a another good Girls' Generation album. We haven't had one since Jessica left to be honest, but they really did good with this one. I really like Forever 1, Villain, Freedom, Mood Lamp, You Better Run, and Lucky Like That.


Speaking of Jessica, she got second place in her Chinese competition. Really glad to see her come back and do well. Apparently, some Korean outlets reported Jessica's success by saying, "Jessica fails to get first place. Takes second place." The strangle hold that SM has in Korea is awful. I'm glad that she's succeeding outside of that place.

Blackpink has released the music video for their pre-release single, "Pink Venom":

It's so bad. People made fun of NMIXX's "O.O," but this is probably the worst song Blackpink has released in a long time, and it's really bad. What a world where 4th gen group's like Purple Kiss spit out better Blackpink songs than Blackpink.
