Ateez announces June comeback
Global K-pop sensation Ateez is set to return on June 13.
The group's agency KQ Entertainment unveiled a teaser video for the group's upcoming 12th mini album, "Golden Hour: Part. 3," through Ateez's official YouTube channel, on Wednesday at midnight.
The teaser features a lush forest under a blue sky and a glass case containing Ateez's logo and the new album title, "Golden Hour: Part. 3."
The case slowly begins to crack through the foggy condensation inside. The phrase 'Break glass in case of thirst' accompanies the visual, heightening curiosity about what the new release will bring.
This comeback marks Ateez's return roughly seven months after the 11th mini album "Golden Hour: Part. 2" was unveiled last November. That release saw major international success, including a No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 and No. 4 on the UK Official Albums Chart, solidifying the group's global presence.
Ateez continues to expand its international influence. Last year, it made history as the first K-pop boy group to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Earlier this year, from January to February, the group embarked on the European leg of its 2024-2025 world tour, "Towards the Light: Will to Power," performing 14 shows across nine countries. In March, the group wrapped up the tour with a grand finale concert at KSPO Dome in Seoul.

K-culture begins with the arts: National Theater of Korea launches new season with global ambitions
72 productions, 2 new festivals and vision that bridges tradition, global reach When Korean cultural references like gat, dopo robes, magpies and tigers appear in hit animated film "K-Pop Demon Hunters," it's a sign that the stature of Korean culture has changed significantly, according to Park In-gun, CEO of the National Theater of Korea. 'And K-culture begins with the fundamental arts. I hope to see powerful works that expand across the world," Park said during a recent press conference at the Korea Press Center in Seoul. Building on that foundation, the National Theater of Korea has announced its 2025-26 season lineup, opening Aug. 20. Under the slogan 'Together, Go Further,' the theater aims to position itself as a platform that actively engages with contemporary audiences while remaining rooted in Korea's traditional performing arts. This season marks the largest slate yet, with 72 productions — 11 more than the previous season — including 25 new works. As part of its expanded programming, the National Theater is introducing two major new festivals: the Korea International Music Theater Festival and the 2025 Korean Traditional Dance Festival. These additions reflect the theater's evolving role as both a custodian of heritage and a hub for contemporary expression. Running from Sept. 3 to 28, the inaugural Korea International Music Theater Festival will center on East Asia, featuring music theater from Korea, China and Japan. The festival is expected to grow into a global event that showcases a wide spectrum of musical theater from around the world. Scheduled for Oct. 30-31, the 2025 Korean Traditional Dance Festival will bring together 10 national and regional public dance companies in a sweeping celebration of Korean dance. The National Theater's three resident companies — the National Changgeuk Company, the National Dance Company and the National Orchestra of Korea — will premiere new works this season and revive audience favorites. The National Changgeuk Company will present "Pansori Theater Shim Cheong" (Sept. 3-6), a revisionist take on the Korean folktale heroine, reframing her with greater agency and contemporary resonance. Another major production is "Hyomyeong: The Prince of Art" (June 23-28, 2026), which blends changgeuk with royal court dance to portray Crown Prince Hyomyeong, a pivotal figure in the development of late Joseon-era court performance traditions. "The Story of Lee Nal-chi" (Nov. 21-29) and "Boheoja: The One Who Paces the Void" (March 19-29, 2026) will also return to the stage. The National Dance Company will explore themes of family in a new production titled "Home," while also reviving modern reinterpretations of traditional aesthetics in works such as "Book of the Dead," "Mongyudowonmu" and "Mask Off." The National Orchestra of Korea will collaborate with classical guitarist and celebrated film composer Lee Byung-woo, best known for his work on "The King and the Clown" and "The Face Reader." The season also includes "Acoustic," an experimental project reimagining the sound design of Haeoreum Grand Theater and "Modern Folk Song," a nostalgic revisiting of beloved melodies. The new season also features expanded collaborations with both public and private performing arts groups. Three major productions from the National Theater Company of Korea — "Dangerous Playground" (Aug. 28-31), "The Orphan of Zhao: Seeds of Revenge" (Nov. 21-30) and a new play by Cho Kwang-hwa (May 22-31, 2026) — will be staged at the National Theater. Among private sector collaborations, the production of "The Dresser" (Dec. 27-March 1) stands out. Based on Ronald Harwood's acclaimed play, the work unfolds in a wartime theater dressing room and explores the fragile dynamics of ego, dependency and aging. Veteran actor Song Seung-hwan will star in the lead role.

‘Teto' or ‘egen'? Young Koreans turn to hormone-inspired identity tests
Though seen as playful route for self-discovery, experts urge moderation to avoid stereotyping, self-limiting beliefs Bae Sung-jin, a 30-year-old office worker, says there's now one more way to check compatibility during blind dates. 'I get emotionally drained easily and tend to be very sensitive in relationships. So I make sure to check their MBTI and whether they're a 'teto' or 'egen' type,' he said. Twenty-two-year-old Lee, who recently got into so-called 'identity tests,' introduced herself as follows: 'I'm an 'egen woman,' so feminine clothing suits me well. But my personality is more like a 'teto woman.' — I'm bold and outgoing.' A new personality classification trend has taken hold among young singles in Korea, with the rise of the 'teto-egen' test. The test uses analogies to testosterone and estrogen levels to analyze interpersonal styles and energy types. Social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube Shorts are awash with users sharing their results. The trend has spilled into pop culture as well. Young K-pop fans analyze celebrities based on the theory: Aespa's Winter is labeled a teto woman, Karina an egen woman, Suzy a teto woman and IU an egen woman. Countless videos and comment threads speculate about celebrities' personality types by combining their clothing style, speech patterns and dating histories. Hormonal archetypes go viral The 'teto' and 'egen' arcetypes are derived from the hormones testosterone and estrogen, respectively. According to the typology, a teto man is masculine and athletic, while an egen man is gentle and appearance-conscious. A teto woman is expressive and extroverted, whereas an egen woman is reserved and traditionally feminine. The teto-egen test from the personality test platform, Types, had attracted over 1.16 million participants as of Thursday. The test, consisting of 28 questions, produces results such as gentle egen man or commander-like teto woman. One of the main draws of this test is its romantic compatibility analysis. Emotionally sensitive egen men are said to be attracted to charismatic teto women, while strong-willed teto men are seen as well-matched with caring egen women. The test gained even more attention after the final episode of 'SNL Korea' season 2 on Coupang Play last month featured a skit titled 'When a Teto Man Falls in Love.' In the episode, boy group BTOB's Yook Sung-jae, cast as an egen man, is dumped by his teto girlfriend for a more masculine partner. He undergoes a brutal teto transformation that includes growing a thick beard. The origin of the trend dates back to June 2021, when a diet content creator first posted about it on his blog. It gained popularity through a web cartoonist on Instagram, going viral soon after. For Gen Z, who seek quick ways to define themselves, the trend is a form of self-expression. Online content now covers dating, marriage, fashion, beauty and workplace behavior based on these archetypes. One beauty YouTuber posted a makeup tutorial titled 'Makeup for egen women,' featuring a clean and neat look. There are also countless videos on topics like 'The ideal woman for an egen man,' 'How teto women talk to teto men' and 'How teto women date egen men.' History of typing the self Self-categorization trends are nothing new. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, blood types were a popular personality metric in Korea and Japan. Statements like 'type A people are timid' and 'type B people are selfish' were commonly accepted, even though they originated in racially motivated studies by a Japanese eugenicist that have since been rejected by scientists. Later, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI, became the most popular personality clasification tool, dividing people into 16 types. People began using MBTI types to explain themselves in conversations and check compatibility on first dates. It even found its way into career planning and hiring processes. Professor Lim Myung-ho of Dankook University's Department of Psychology and Psychotherapy explains the popularity of such trends as rooted in a desire for self-discovery and understanding. 'The trend reflects the MZ generation's effort to understand themselves and build positive relationships with others,' he said. Curiosity or confinement In a nationwide survey by Embrain Trend Monitor involving 1,000 Koreans aged 19 to 59, 76 percent of respondents in their 20s and 71.6 percent in their 30s said they 'want to understand themselves accurately.' The 86 percent of those in their 20s and 87.6 percent of those in their 30s said they were 'curious about who they are,' yet only 22.4 percent and 36.8 percent, respectively, felt they had truly learned about themselves through experience. The results highlight a growing reliance on type-based classifications to explore identity and match behavior to social expectations. In essence, these tests are light-hearted forms of entertainment, but they also serve as tools for introspection, self-expression and social communication. 'In an anxious society, it reflects a desire to feel a sense of belonging and create intimacy in relationships,' said Lim. 'As long as the intense competition among young people continues, these types of classification trends will persist.' However, some experts caution that such identity tests risk reinforcing oversimplified binaries. Framing behavior and traits in terms of gendered hormones can make stereotypes further entreched. 'Humans are wired to categorize and group things. Just like with MBTI or blood types, categorizing people into 'teto men' or 'egen men' is another attempt to simplify complex human nature,' said Kwak Geum-joo, a professor of psychology at Seoul National University. She warned that while such classifications begin as curiosity, they can become self-restrictive if taken too seriously. Professor Lim echoed the concern, 'Blindly believing in these tests can lead to overgeneralization and binary thinking. Identity tests should be treated lightly and used for reference only,' he said.

BLACKPINK's new single 'Jump' tops iTunes charts in 47 countries
Girl group BLACKPINK's new digital single, "Jump," topped iTunes charts in 47 countries, YG Entertainment said Saturday. The song released Friday marks the group's first release in two years and 10 months since its second full-length album, "Born Pink," in September 2022, excluding "The Girls" from the soundtrack of a video game. "Jump," with an addictive chorus, marks a transformation from the K-pop quartet's previous charismatic musical style. It "captivates listeners with guitar riffs reminiscent of a Western film, layered with the members' distinctive vocals," according to the agency. Music producers Teddy and 24, who have crafted BLACKPINK's hit songs, collaborated on the track with international lyricists and composers. The song's music video was helmed by award-winning director Dave Meyers. BLACKPINK performed the song for the first time during its "Deadline" world tour at Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium in Goyang, just northwest of Seoul, last weekend. The tour will then take the group to 15 other cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Paris, Milan, London and Bangkok. (Yonhap)
