‘Indian K-pop fans are very supportive': OMEGA X subunit OX:N on visiting India and their retro-themed EP ‘N'
K-pop boy group OMEGA X's first sub-unit, OX:N, dropped their debut epilogue N earlier this month. It's their first release of 2025, coming seven months after their second Japanese mini-album To. The new unit, made up of Jaehan, Xen, Jehyun, and Yechan. takes its name from the Roman numeral IV, representing the four members and the idea of infinite possibilities. Their debut mini album packs five tracks: SUIT&TIE, title track YOU, LET ME IN, ORPHEUS, and CAUSE OF YOU. We caught up with the group virtually to talk about the themes behind their music and what inspired it all. 'SUIT&TIE' talks about the contrast between outer calm and inner turmoil. For each member of OX:N, what's one inner thought or feeling you hope listeners truly grasp when they hear the songs on N, beyond the polished exterior? Jaehan: The overarching theme of this album is love, and as we all know, love comes in many forms. I believe that in order to give love to others, you have to take care of and love yourself first. So through this album, I wanted to convey the message that it's important to learn how to love yourself. Yechan: Simply put, I just want to become a good person. On the outside, as an idol and a singer, I have to show a cool and polished image, but on the inside, there are dreams, ambition, and desire. I want to shape those feelings more healthily and grow not just as an artist, but as a person too. As a smaller unit, do you feel a stronger sense of creative freedom or responsibility? Jaehan: I feel a stronger sense of responsibility. When we had 11 members, there was this subtle feeling that someone else would cover a certain part if I didn't. But now that it's just the four of us in OX:N, it's more like, 'if I don't do it, no one else will.' That shift has made me take more responsibility, and I think that mindset pushes us in a better direction. Xen: I actually feel a stronger sense of creative freedom. When there were 11 of us, I had to convince 10 other people to get on board with my ideas. But now, I only need to persuade three, so I think I've gained more freedom to try things I've always wanted to do in this new environment. India has one of the largest K-pop fan bases in the world, and your fans here often translate Korean lyrics into regional languages. How does it feel knowing your emotions are being felt in languages you've never spoken? Xen: Through platforms like X and other social media, we've seen that a lot of people in India are supporting us and showing interest. So the first thing that came to mind was how much we want to go and meet them. If the opportunity comes, we'd love to spend time with our fans in India as soon as possible. OMEGA X is an 11-member K-pop group under IPQ. The members are Jaehan, Hwichan, Sebin, Hangyeom, Taedong, Xen, Jehyun, Kevin, Junghoon, Hyuk, and Yechan. N's first track, SUIT&TIE, plays off the idea of a refined image. It explores the tension between how one appears and what they actually feel, staying calm and composed on the outside while falling into love on the inside. The title track, YOU, is a pop-heavy song that taps into the Y2K aesthetic and early 2000s millennial sound. LET ME IN brings the emotion, exploring the regret that follows a breakup, and the slow desire to love again. ORPHEUS draws straight from Greek mythology, the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, channeling that aching longing for a lost love through soulful vocals and haunting lyrics.

Kiran Desai back in the longlist for ‘The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny'
Booker Prize-winning author Kiran Desai on Tuesday (July 29, 2025) returned to the coveted literary award longlist with The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny, a novel described by the judges as a 'vast and immersive' tale about a pair of young Indians in America. The 53-year-old Delhi-born author, who won the Booker Prize 19 years ago in 2006 with The Inheritance of Loss, joins 12 writers from around the world for the so-called 'Booker Dozen' of 13 books that will be whittled down to six shortlisted titles by September. Desai's latest novel stands out as the longest on the longlist, weighing in at 667 pages and published by Hamish Hamilton. The shortest is Universality by Natasha Brown at 156 pages. 'She has spent almost 20 years writing The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny. Should she win this year, she would become the fifth double winner in the prize's 56-year history,' Booker Prize Foundation said in a statement. 'Desai has a family history with the prize: her mother Anita Desai was shortlisted for the Booker three times,' it noted. According to the Booker Prize website, the novel follows the lives of Sonia and Sunny, two young people navigating the many forces that shape their lives: country, class, race, history, and the complicated bonds that link one generation to the next. The 2025 prize longlist was chosen from 153 submissions, celebrating the best works of long-form fiction by writers of any nationality writing in English and published in the UK and/or Ireland between October 2024 and 30 September 2025. 'The 13 longlisted novels bring the reader to Hungary, Albania, the north of England, Malaysia, Ukraine, Korea, London, New York, Trinidad and Greece, India and the West Country,' said Roddy Doyle, Booker Prize 2025 Chair of Judges. 'There are short novels and some very long ones. There are novels that experiment with form and others that do so less obviously. Some of them examine the past and others poke at our shaky present. They are all alive with great characters and narrative surprises. All, somehow, examine identity, individual or national, and all, I think, are gripping and excellent,' he said. Other works in the race to be shortlisted include Trinidadian author Claire Adam's Love Forms, Malaysian Tash Aw's The South, Canadian-Ukrainian Maria Reva's Ending, Hungarian-British David Szalay's Flesh and Albanian-American Ledia Xhoga's Misinterpretation. Four British authors in the running are: Natasha Brown with Universality, Jonathan Buckley with One Boat, Andrew Miller with The Land in Winter and Benjamin Wood with Seascraper. And, the three American authors completing the longlist include Susan Choi with Flashlight, Katie Kitamura with Audition and Ben Markovits with The Rest of Our Lives. 'The stories are set all over the world, and as we looked through the books we began to notice that their authors, all of them writing in English, had come from many different places too… It's the highest number of different nationalities we've seen on a Booker Prize longlist for a decade – yet British writers are strongly represented too,' said Gaby Wood, Chief Executive of the Booker Prize Foundation. 'Oh wow! Kiran Desai's The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny is longlisted for the 2025 Booker Prize 19 years after The Inheritance of Loss won. What a staggering return! (Out in September!)' Manasi Subramaniam, editor-in-chief and vice-president at Penguin Random House India, which overlooks the Hamish Hamilton imprint, wrote on social media. Oh wow!
