Boy band Highlight (Around Us Entertainment)

Boy band Highlight’s new song “Plz Don’t Be Sad” has topped multiple Korean music charts since its release on March 20.

Another song “It’s Still Beautiful” scored high on various music charts. The group’s first mini album and EP “Can You Feel It?” sold more than 70,000 records.

“Plz Don’t Be Sad,” or “Don’t Frown” in Korean, is a lively synth-pop track cowritten by songwriting duo Good Life. In the accompanying music video, the members play around in bathrobes.

Highlight debuted in 2009 as Beast but rebranded itself under its new agency Around Us Entertainment. The members are DaJun, JunHyung, Yoseop, GiKwang and DongWoon.
