&TEAM showed off their dancing skills on “Weekly Idol”!

The HYBE LABELS JAPAN rookie boy group appeared as guests on the July 19 episode of the MBC every 1 variety show, where they performed the Korean version of their song “FIREWORK” and played various games together with the MCs.

For the program’s signature “Weekly Playlist” segment, &TEAM chose to perform a dance cover of BTS’s 2021 smash hit “Butter.”

Meanwhile, at another point in the episode, the show put a twist on its “Random Play Dance” segment by playing snippets of hit songs by other artists—and the &TEAM members stepped forward to dance the choreographies if they knew them.

The songs that the &TEAM members covered on the spot included Stray Kids’ “CASE 143,” BIGBANG’s Taeyang’s “VIBE” (featuring BTS’s Jimin), and TXT’s “Sugar Rush Ride.”

BIGBANG’s G-Dragon has decorated the cover of Elle magazine’s latest issue!

In his new photo shoot, G-Dragon shines in pieces from Chanel’s unique 2022/23 collection that is inspired by Dakar, the capital of Senegal.

During his accompanying interview, G-Dragon was asked about his upcoming solo album, which he hinted at back in April. He responded, “As it’s been a long time since I’ve promoted as singer G-Dragon, I’m working [on the album] with a fun and excited heart. I think I’ll also be able to know what kind of emotions I have now once the songs are complete. I’m looking forward to it myself.”

Touching on his musical style of writing honest lyrics and capturing his sincere emotions, G-Dragon elaborated, “I try to communicate through music. When I look back on the emotions I’ve let out in songs over the years, there’s nothing that doesn’t come from my own experiences. Music is the best way to understand myself.”

When people reflect on G-Dragon’s career, there’s often the opinion that he was ahead of his time. The artist was asked what he thinks of this, to which he replied, “You’ll likely hear words like this when time goes by and there’s someone to be compared to, and if that’s the case, then I think that’s great to hear. When I look back on people I think are iconic, they’re remembered just as the people they are, regardless of the generation or trends. I’m also working to become someone like that.”
