Sat down with Bang Chan for GQ and had a very long and very interesting chat about confidence, 3RACHA, breaking the rules of pop music, and time control. @Stray_Kids @StrayKidsGlobal.
As the leading light and producer behind #StrayKids, Sydney-raised Bang Chan isn't just one of Korea's most influential idols—he's taking the bounds of the genre to completely new places. @_xTGx charts his rise to the top of a global phenomenon:

Thank you @GOT7 for having me all up in your space for days and days. I don't think I've laughed that much in a long time. 🙏.#GOT7 #GOT7𓅪.
By leaving their agency and going independent, #GOT7 upended the rules of an industry that normally controls its stars with an iron fist. @_xTGx speaks to the Idol group about rewriting the #Kpop career arc from within:

I've always enjoyed TXT choreo but THIS 😮I've watched this 10x already this morning. It's such a beautiful, seamless blend of soft and hard. Kpop routines still tend to split into gg and bg camps but this is both and neither. It says no to being boxed.

One of 2022's biggest conundrums: why #ATEEZ's CYBERPUNK wasn't a 2nd single or got a perf video. So I wrote about its earth-shaking brilliance for @TeenVogue's best K-pop songs of the year because it deserves all the flowers.

It feels like a kicking to write a farewell to Goo Hara. She was robbed, betrayed, failed, but when she cracked, somehow, unjustly, she was the one apologising. This bitter, ugly world kept swallowing her and she ran. In the quiet, Hara, I hope you found peace 🙏.

RM made a lovely comparison - that when the water gets murky/dirty, the yucky stuff sinks to the bottom and the water clears. #DynamiteToday #BTSDynamite #BTS_Dynamite is that clean, sweet water. This isn't verbatim, he was going too fast but this is the gist!.
