m-flo recently announced that they were reviving their “Loves” series of collaborations after 12 years. The group released a teaser photo ahead of their new collaboration, without revealing the identities of their new collaborators. There was speculation that the new collaborators were Mukai Taichi, eill, and Sik-K. This turned out to be in fact true.

m-flo released another version of their teaser photo, this time revealing Taichi, eill, and Sik-K’s faces. This reveal was in conjuction with the release of the music video for their new digital single, “tell me tell me” (out March 6). Check it out below!

South Korean group BTS is currently enjoying worldwide success with the release of their latest studio album “Map of the Soul: 7“. Naturally with this new album release it seems like some of their fans are…a little bit more excited than usual. Unfortunately for AKB48 member Minami Minegishi, she had to experience some of their wrath.

Back in December 2019 Minami posted a picture of her freshly manicured nails, in a pretty purple color. However, her post suddenly started to get attention online in various online communities at the beginning of March 2020. Soon her various SNS profiles were flooded by angry comments from BTS fans, particularly fans of the member V (Kim Taehyung).
