From KiiiKiii to LNGSHOT: 7 K-Pop Groups To Watch In 2026

Each year brings new artists to any scene, and this year was no exception. After a busy year, 2026 has a new crew of rising teams that bring a sense of freshness to the wide-ranging world of K-pop.

Within this new wave, there are K-pop acts who are experiencing long-awaited recognition, while groups who debuted just a couple months ago are finally performing in front of live audiences. Meanwhile, rookies like CORTIS are raising their hands with a desire to conquer, and yet-to-debut acts are hotly anticipated. Either way, these groups are about to completely take over your playlists.

CORTIS

Even before their debut in August this year, the hype was clearly there for CORTIS. Launched under HYBE's BigHit Music (home to BTS and TXT), the reveal of the five-member lineup – James, Juhoon, Martin, Seonghyeon, and Keonho – instantly intrigued fans with their diverse cultural backgrounds and creative skills, raising expectations for something fresh in the crowded K-pop scene. Their name, extracted from "Color outside the lines," says it all: freedom from convention. The momentum kept building with their first EP, "Color Outside the Lines".

Alpha Drive One

Source: Instagram/ald1.official

Alpha Drive One, or ALD1 for short, is already on everyone's radar, especially to those who watched the Mnet reality survival show, "Boys II Planet", which saw a whopping 160 Korean and Chinese contestants compete for a chance to debut under WakeOne. 11 episodes of challenges, eliminations, and heartbreak later, the eight-member group was formed. The line-up, consisting of Leo, Junseo, Geonwoo, Arno, Sangwon, Xinlong, Anxin, and Sanghyeon, is set to debut early next year.

KiiiKiii

Comprising five talents: Jiyu, Leesol, Sui, Haum, and Kya, KiiiKiii is the latest girl group from Starship Entertainment. The group's concept, and the girls themselves, are an aesthetic reminiscent of Tumblr blogs from the late '00s. Their first EP, "Uncut Gems", has been dubbed "weirdcore" and "internet brain rot" through unconventional videos and seemingly eclectic imagery on their Instagram feed – high praise for pop stars just making their way in the world.

KickFlip

With a name inspired by a dynamic skateboarding trick, a rebellious concept, and a debut mini-album titled "Flip it, Kick it!", the seven-member group will soon be making significant impacts in the K-pop industry. KickFlip were once a part of JYP Entertainment's 2021 survival show, "LOUD". The line-up includes Kyehoon, Amaroo, Keiju, and Donghyeon, along with three new faces, Donghwa, Juwang, and Minje. The group marks JYP's first boy group debut since Stray Kids in 2018.

AllDay Project

The Black Label, helmed by renowned producers Teddy Park, unveiled AllDay Project, the label's first-ever co-ed group, in June this year. The quintet consists of members Annie, Tarzzan, Bailey, Woochan, and Youngseo. Amongst them are former pre-debut idols, world-class choreographers, and models. Though they are not the first co-ed group in K-pop (think KARD), the concept of co-ed idol groups in Korean entertainment still feels special and largely untouched, hence they're set to offer something fresh in the ever-evolving K-pop world.

LNGSHOT

Rapper and singer-songwriter Jay Park is officially stepping into the idol game with his latest boy group named LNGSHOT (pronounced as Longshot). Ahead of their debut in January next year, Jay Park took to Instagram to introduce the four members – Ohyul, Ryul, Woojin, and Louis – giving fans their first glimpse of the line-up. Already, the announcement, alongside a pre-debut mixtape that was released, is causing waves in the K-pop world, with fans praising the members' visuals, vocals, and energy.

Hearts2Hearts

Rising eight-member girl group, Hearts2Hearts, is a powerhouse in the making, blending fresh energy with a nostalgic twist. Debuted under SM Entertainment earlier this year, their first mini album, "FOCUS", sees the girls – Jiwoo, Carmen, Yuha, Stella, Juun, A-na, Ian, and Ye-on – showcasing their sweet, distinctive charms with deep emotions and captivating storytelling. The unveiling of the group comes nearly five years after the debut of aespa.

From Tiramisu To Ayam Gepuk: 10 Viral Food Trends That Took Over 2025

2025 was quite the year when it comes to food trends. From nostalgic desserts making a big comeback to viral dishes we'd never heard of before, the year proved that food culture is constantly evolving thanks to social media and our collective curiosity.

Some of the biggest fads caused supermarkets to sell out of specific ingredients, while others brought old favourites back into the spotlight with a modern twist. So, what exactly were we eating, cooking, and obsessing over in 2025? Let's take a walk down memory lane.

1. Pistachio

Pistachio emerged as the flavour of the year, appearing in everything from pastries and gelato to spreads and drinks. Its nutty, slightly sweet profile felt both indulgent and sophisticated. The ingredient also benefited from its strong association with viral desserts like pistachio tiramisu and kunafa.

2. Tiramisu

Tiramisu firmly reclaimed its spot as a dessert icon in 2025. From classic Italian versions to pistachio, matcha, and even chocolate-laden twists, the coffee-soaked treat was everywhere. Home bakers and cafés alike embraced the dessert, proving that timeless flavours never truly go out of style.

3. Matcha

Matcha continued its reign well beyond lattes and desserts. In 2025, it found its way into breads, tiramisu, cookies, and even savoury dishes, driven by its vibrant colour and perceived health benefits. Social media played a big role in turning matcha into a lifestyle choice rather than just a drink.

4. Kunafa

This Middle Eastern dessert enjoyed a major glow-up this year. Crispy, cheesy kunafa was reinvented with modern fillings like chocolate, pistachio cream, and ice cream, making it especially popular among younger audiences. Its dramatic cheese pulls and syrupy finish made it a natural star online.

5. Hot Pot

Hot pot continued to dominate group dining in 2025, cementing its place as both a social and culinary experience. Customisable broths, premium ingredients, and endless dipping sauces kept it exciting. It was especially popular among younger diners looking for interactive meals.

6. Banana Pudding

Banana pudding had a viral revival, particularly in its Southern-style form with layers of biscuits, custard, and fresh bananas. The comforting dessert resonated with people craving nostalgia and simplicity. It also became a popular make-ahead dessert for gatherings and celebrations.

7. Cucumber Salad

Sometimes you need to eat an entire cucumber, and thanks to TikTok creator Logan and his endlessly creative recipes, cucumber salad became an unexpected trend. From spicy, garlicky versions to Asian-inspired dressings, cucumbers were no longer just a side dish. The trend proved that even the simplest ingredients can shine with the right flavour combinations.

8. Malatang

Malatang went viral not just for its flavour, but for the experience. The trend of guessing how much a bowl would cost became a social media challenge in itself. Its spicy, customisable nature made it a hit with adventurous eaters.

9. Dubai Chocolate

Dubai chocolate took the internet by surprise in 2025. Known for its rich fillings, luxurious textures, and dramatic break-apart videos, it quickly became a must-try item. The trend highlighted a growing appetite for indulgent, visually striking treats with a premium feel.

10. Ayam Gepuk

Ayam gepuk gained mainstream attention in 2025, winning hearts with its smashed fried chicken and fiery sambal. The dish struck a balance between comfort food and bold flavours. Its popularity reflected a growing appreciation for regional Southeast Asian cuisine.

(Video) “I Was The Third Person”: Veteran Actor Lee Lung Kei Confirms Breakup With 39yo Fiancée

It appears that veteran Hong Kong actor Lee Lung Kei's (李龙基) high-profile romance with his fiancée has come to an end. This news comes after allegations that the 39-year-old is actually married and has a teenage son.

In a recent interview, Lee Lung Kei confirmed that he and Chris Wong (Wang Qingxia/王青霞) have split after 14 years together. The pair's romance has garnered significant media attention due to the 36-year difference between the two. The 75-year-old actor even stood by his partner's side as she faced a 25-month prison sentence, until her release in July 2025.

SOURCE: TWITTER (@weizai84934144)

The breakup news came after recent allegations that Chris is married and has a 16-year-old son. She was photographed dining with her husband and mother while spending the Winter Solstice with family. It's believed that Chris had concealed her marital status from Lee Lung Kei to form a romantic relationship with him.

During the interview, Lee Lung Kei teared up as he confirmed the separation, saying, "I understand everything. I was the third person. I wish them happiness." However, he emphasised that he was completely unaware of his now-ex-fiancée's marriage. Therefore, he felt no need to apologise to Chris's husband and son for the infidelity.

SOURCE: INSTAGRAM (@singtaoheadline)

Lee Lung Kei also mentioned that the split happened recently, after the Winter Solstice. He said he and Chris gradually became distant after she returned to her family home in China after her release from prison. Despite the circumstances, the public figure said he will still keep in touch with Chris after their breakup.

The actor is known for his devotion to his ex-partner, even reportedly transferring his assets to her. Understandably, this breakup must be difficult for Lee Lung Kei. Nevertheless, we wish him all the best for the future. Watch his interview here:

ADOR Looking To Sue Ex-NewJeans Member Danielle, Family Member & Min Hee Jin For RM121m

It appears that ADOR may be facing another legal battle. This time, the entertainment company is looking to sue with former NewJeans (뉴진스/NJZ/엔제이지) member Danielle (다니엘), the idol's family and former CEO Min Hee Jin (민희진).

On 30th December 2025 (Tuesday), reports emerged that ADOR has filed a lawsuit against Danielle, a member of her family, as well as Min Hee Jin for breach of contract and damages. The agency is seeking KRW43.1 billion (approximately RM121 million) in damages, and the case has been assigned to the 31st Civil Division of the Seoul Central Court.

SOURCE: FACEBOOK (NewJeans) & TWITTER (@pannchoa)

The court has yet to set the first hearing date for the lawsuit. However, if the lawsuit proceeds, it would be another legal case in the ongoing battle between ADOR, NewJeans and Min Hee Jin. This news also comes after the HYBE subsidiary announced the termination of Danielle's exclusive contract. Meanwhile, her groupmate Hanni will return to the label.

In its previous statement, ADOR also noted that member Minji is still in discussions with the agency about her possible return. The label also never mentioned any legal action against Danielle, only towards a member of her family and Min Hee Jin, who "bear significant responsibility for precipitating this dispute and for NewJeans' departure and delayed return."

SOURCES: TWITTER (@AniEMPIRE) & FACEBOOK (NewJeans)

Netizens have reacted to the lawsuit, mostly expressing anger towards HYBE and ADOR for singling out Danielle. However, despite ADOR's intention to take legal action, many experts noted difficulties for the label. Among the issues raised was the company's legal right to terminate Danielle's exclusive contract, especially since she expressed interest in returning.

With no hearing date nor additional information about the case, it's unclear what will come out of this legal battle. Nevertheless, we wish the best for all the involved parties. What are your thoughts on this?

Badminton Star Soh Wooi Yik Confirms Relationship In New IG Post

With just hours left before 2026, Malaysian men's doubles star Soh Wooi Yik (蘇偉譯) has dropped some news about his dating life. In a recent Instagram post, the world champion confirms his relationship with his non-celebrity girlfriend.

On 30th December 2025 (Tuesday), Soh Wooi Yik updated his Instagram page with a new post featuring him and his girlfriend, whose name is believed to be Lokyee. The post shows the two posing intimately, with Soh Wooi Yik's hands on his partner's arms. The caption reads, "I love you", while the accompanying song is Utada Hikaru's iconic love song, "First Love".

According to reports, the couple have been together for some time. However, this is the first time the badminton player has publicly shared his relationship. Since Soh Wooi Yik isn't known to talk about his private life, many were particularly curious about his love life. As such, the news came as a pleasant surprise to fans and netizens alike.

In the comments, many fans congratulated Soh Wooi Yik on going public with his relationship, wishing the couple a happy and lasting romance. Some also praised the shuttler's girlfriend's visuals, saying the two are a perfect match for each other. Fellow Malaysian badminton player Goh Jin Wei also shared her reaction, dropping a heart emoji in the comments section.

SOURCE: INSTAGRAM (@sohwooiyik)

Meanwhile, Soh Wooi Yik is preparing for his first 2026 BWF World Tour tournament, the PETRONAS Malaysia Open 2026. The tournament will take place from 6th to 11th January 2026 at Axiata Arena. However, the shuttler and his doubles partner, Aaron Chia, are also open to reducing their tournaments in 2026 to prioritise their health and fitness levels.

Perhaps going public with his relationship can help motivate the badminton star for his upcoming tournaments. Whatever it is, we wish Soh Wooi Yik all the best in his career and love life.

Book A Stay At These Stunning Heritage Boutique Hotels In George Town, Penang

The good life isn't always about fancy lounge areas and cutting-edge architecture. The old and worn has its charm, too – especially in Penang. Wildly popular for its delicious street food and traditional architecture, George Town, the vibrant capital city of Penang, is also a famed Unesco World Heritage Site.

And whether you're a local or a tourist, Penang is always a good idea. The next time you're in town for a visit, be sure to check in to one of these charming heritage hotels for an authentic experience that will transport you back to Penang's British Malaya past.

Nestled along Lebuh Leith in George Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and on one of Penang's oldest streets, The Edison offers a serene stay just a short distance from the bustling tourist spots. Initially commissioned and built as a residence for business tycoon Yeo Wee Gark back in 1906, the building was then used as an administrative centre during the Japanese Occupation in the mid-1940s. In 2016, the hotel was renovated and rebranded to what it is today – a historic mansion offering modern comforts and gracious hospitality while embracing its rich heritage.

Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion

Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, also known as the Blue Mansion, was built in the 19th century by businessman and politician Cheong Fatt Tze. Previously a home for Fatt Tze's family and a base for his commercial enterprises, it is now a beautifully restored historical attraction with daily guided tours as well as one of George Town's most iconic boutique hotels.

Jawi Peranakan Mansion

Jawi Peranakan Mansion boasts an eclectic mix of 18th to 19th century British architecture, Islamic design elements from the Mughal times, and Indian ethnic motifs.

The hotel consists of 8 Mansion rooms and 6 family suites finished and furnished with these Ango-Indian features.
