Young K Said 'YOUNGEST' and Bestie, the July 27 Feelings Are Already Booked
the DAY6 bassist drops his second full-length solo album 'YOUNGEST' on july 27 at 6 p.m. KST, and he's been drip-feeding teasers all month. his 2023 solo debut was entirely self-written, so yes — we're bracing to be read for filth.
july 27, 6 p.m. KST. write it down, clear the evening, warn your group chat. Young K is putting out 'YOUNGEST,' his second full-length solo album, and the DAY6 girlies have been in slow-motion emotional freefall since he announced it at midnight on july 6.
the man then ran a month-long psychological operation about it. concept film, scheduler, tracklist, four separate rounds of concept photos, lyric spoiler clips, live sampler episodes. every time we regained composure, another teaser. no rest, no mercy, no HR department to report him to.
the titles alone are doing an enormous amount of work: 'Marionette,' 'Drivin' into Hell,' 'Yonge St.' and 'whatever.' one of those is going to end a lot of people and we do not yet know which. that's the fun part. (it is not the fun part.)
and he isn't stopping at the release — a solo tour kicks off august 14 in Incheon. bassist, vocalist, resident feelings guy, now also a touring soloist. the range is frankly rude.
his 2023 solo debut was self-written front to back, so the assignment is already understood: personal, lyric-forward, devastating in a way we will absolutely queue at 2 a.m. see you on the 27th. hydrate first.

KiiiKiii Built a Fake Travel Agency to Announce a Comeback and Honestly? Hire Them
'WhyKiiiKiii' arrives august 10 and the teaser site issues you an actual boarding pass. every other marketing team should be taking notes right now.
so KiiiKiii are coming back on august 10 with 'WhyKiiiKiii' and instead of a normal schedule poster they built an entire fake travel agency. i'm serious. there is a website. it has a functioning booking flow. we have entered a new era of rollout.
here's the bit: you put in your name, a departure point, a date and a ticket type, and the site hands you back a boarding pass with WhyKiiiKiii listed as the destination. i filled it out immediately and so will you. no bc why is this better designed than most actual airlines i have flown.
the whole thing sits on a six-destination tour map, with each member illustrated as a tour guide working her own retro theme — heavy Y2K, vintage-advertisement energy, the kind of art direction that makes you want to print it and frame it. the site's whole invitation is to “discover the answer,” and it's promising six summers with six guides, one per member.
promo kicked off july 19 and the concept ties straight back to the album, which is apparently about working out why you should stay exactly as you already are. a record about self-trust, packaged as a holiday you can't physically attend. it's giving depth. it's giving girls who read.
august 10. boarding pass in hand. i fear this rollout quietly raised the bar for everybody else and they haven't noticed yet.
