You can tell how much this tour means to @WE_THE_BOYZ. Juyeon, Kevin and Sangyeon all described #THEBOYZUSATOUR as a "dream" or that they're "dreaming" throughout the night. Really special

@Jeff__Benjamin
The section of #THEBOYZUSATOUR of "Hypnotized," "Nightmares" and "Reveal" was such a mesmerizing part of the concert. Sangyeon, Jacob and New were going off on the vocals here, everyone nailing their ad-libs, so good

Weeks after release while continuing to earn top global streams, @IVEstarship's "LOVE DIVE" is back as the #1 K-Pop Hit and cover of K-Pop Hits playlist on @TIDAL! "ELEVEN" is also still featured!
Congrats @IVE_twt! Always looking forward to what's next!

Early industry predictions have @pledis_17 earning their first Top 10 album on the @billboard 200 with #FaceTheSun after its physical release in the U.S. yesterday. The full-length is predicted to earn between 38-43k copies
Streaming can help those numbers to secure it, #Carats!

After "Hot," "Don Quixote" and "Shadow" enter @billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart this week, @pledis_17 now ties for fifth-most entries on the chart

@Jeff__Benjamin
As a Chicago boy, Lollapalooza was the first festival I ever attended (as a high schooler!!) and I saw artists like Amy Winehouse, Pearl Jam, Daft Punk, M.I.A, The Wailers, Lady Gaga (pre-fame) my first time. J-Hope + TXT playing is so special, I hope so many people see them

I rarely see it talked about but omg the impact this really had on so many kids then, including myself. This was 2002, it wasn't trendy to feature LGBTQ+ people in your videos—in fact @xtina ran a risk of turning people off. She not only did it but told them "You are beautiful"♥️ twitter.com/notcapnamerica…

Whatcha guys talking about? It's on @TIDAL and featured as the #1 new K-pop album too 😊
