Lee Know's always been a master of the stage but there's this effortlessness he has now. I don't know if it's maturity? Experience? Confidence? All of that? But it's just so so cool to watch in person #STRAYKIDSinNEWARK

The amazing duality of Lisa is never more clear than in Born Pink tour. The pole dancing before "Money" was so cool to include (don't be fooled: it requires a *lot* of strength to pull that off) and to hear her curse or do a booty pop, then she breaks into a huge smile and laugh

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!

Early industry predictions have BLACKPINK's #BORNPINK challenging for No. 1 on the Billboard 200 next week with 80-85k units
If an additional 10k units can be gained to their total through the week, BP could likely have the No. 1
Every sale and stream counts!

They're killing it. "WYAT" was a global-pop moment to break out bigger, but it's important to share their P-pop music too. And meeting and talking to the guys during these past months made me respect them and see the vision more than ever twitter.com/HOTdawg_stan82…

"We ranked 13th place on the @billboard 200 for #Attaca and ranked two weeks in a row which was a new record for us. But honestly I'd like us to go higher [with #FaceTheSun" -Joshua at @pledis_17's global press conference

NYC loves @ENHYPEN Sunoo so much and during his final moment to talk to the crowd, the entire @RadioCity started chanting his name and he broke down crying and the @ENHYPEN_members all came to comfort him. So emotional 🥹
