K-pop girl group NewJeans have dropped the second part of their ‘Supernatural’ music video.
Last month, NewJeans made their official Japanese debut with their single album ‘Supernatural’. The group have now dropped a second music video for the title track, this time featuring a Korean-language version of the single.
The new visual continues the TV series concept of original music video, this time with the members investigating the strange weather phenomena from the first clip. The story culminates with the girl group discovering a colony of rabbit-like aliens on a neighbouring planet.
“I don’t know what we’ve done / I don’t want to go back / I already know / Don’t know what we’ve been sold / I’ll find out, so it’s sure,” they sing on the chorus.
Last weekend, NewJeans held their two-night ‘Bunnies Camp’ fan concert in Tokyo Dome, becoming the fastest K-pop group to perform at the iconic venue after debuting. The concert was held less than a week after they dropped ‘Supernatural’.
The show featured special performances with Japanese pop duo YOASOBI and Japanese-English singer Rina Sawayama. The latter also teamed up with NewJeans member Hyein to perform her 2020 song ‘Bad Friend’ at the concert.
NewJeans’ Japanese debut came just a month after they made a domestic comeback with their single album ‘How Sweet’. The project included the lead single ‘How Sweet’ and ‘Bubblegum’ as well as their instrumental versions.
In a three-star review of ‘How Sweet’, NME’s Tássia Assis wrote that the two-song release would be “adequate additions to any of their previous releases”, but “lacks the effervescent impact” of their past singles.
In other K-pop news, (G)I-DLE have ropped a music video teaser for ’Klaxon’, the lead single of their upcoming mini-album ‘I Sway’. It will be their second release of 2024, arriving six months after their second studio album ‘[2]’ in January.
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
