Without the comfortability of a group behind him, KINO has more hurdles to overcome than he’s ever faced before, and he’s ready.

Kicking off in NYC on January 19th, the tour is set to show sides of KINO that he’s been shielding until now.

A long-standing force in K-Pop, SEVENTEEN is a group that is often imitated, but never duplicated. In a showing that was rife with personality, the originally 13-member group (minus members Jeonghan and Jun) took over LA’s BMO Stadium for a weekend full of fun. Their fans, CARATs, descended upon the venue to escape their day jobs and dance for almost three hours for two nights in a row.

A.C.E’s five members have tons of experience under their belts, but the same fervor for their career as when they started their journey in 2017. They’ve gained a loyal fanbase (lovingly named CHOICE) from being their authentic and uninterrupted selves. The members sat down with Pop Crave to chat about their new singles, “Anymore” and “Just Better”, and their 2024 “Rewind:US” World Tour. How did your experience recording your new single just better differ from preparing for your past records?

Although they continuously try out different vibes and genres in their music, P1Harmony have made their own lane in the K-Pop world clear and easily distinguished. They have the swagger of a music group with decades of experience, while still going through the natural and expected growing pains of a newer group. They’re not perfect- they show the grit and hard work that makes an audience able to relate to them in a time where authenticity is key.
