K-pop fans were in for a treat as Blackpink released a classic in-the-making film for their new video “Kill This Love,” which went behind the scenes on the set.

Looking all glammed up, the bandmates looked fierce as they roamed around the set and danced to the new song, which Jennie described as one with “strong beats and impressive drum sounds.”

Lisa has a scene where she barges into a room full of cereals. “I’m using cereal to express instant love. I’m here to steal love,” the singer explained.

The group chose the chorus as the highlight of the song. The choreography goes as if they are shooting a cannon while the lyrics go “Let’s kill this love.”

The video, which was released Thursday, has racked up over 97 million views on YouTube as of Sunday, becoming one of the fastest K-pop videos to do so.

Fans got a rare glimpse of the busy life of Minho of SHINee in a new video clip released on V Live.

The singer cut a dapper figure in a suit at an event back in March for a new movie he is filming. On the way back to Seoul, Minho wanted to give himself a treat for having finished his morning schedule.

While smiling, he said in the van, “Let’s go see a lighthouse before we leave,” which left his staff seemingly amused.

When the staff talked about his mood right after he had woken up, Minho replied, “Of course we need to sleep. People need sleep.”

In the second half of the video, Minho was seen on a beach in Koh Samui for a fashion magazine photo shoot, posing for the camera in different outfits at various locations.

During a recent live stream on V Live, Yeontae of In2It said that he can’t sleep when he drinks coffee.

“I’m not drinking much coffee these days. When I drink it, I can’t sleep at home.”

He says that his days and nights are switched because of a busy schedule and drinking coffee on top of everything makes it harder for him to fall asleep.

“I’d rather drink tea than coffee if I have (a change of schedule),” the singer said.

When it comes to songs he likes to listen, he said he likes the soundtrack of the TV series “Mr. Sunshine,” though he hasn’t watched the series yet.

He also praised Bolbbalgan4’s spring-themed new single “Bom.”
