The lovely duo spoke innocently, saying, 'We are nervous.' They seemed to find Japan comfortable after a long time away, and smilingly shared through the 'RRRing' ambassador event at Shibuya LOFT, 'We were happy to have this precious time to meet our fans directly.'

■ 'After Cry' depicting growth from tears
'After Cry', released on March 24, is a work that depicts not just sadness, but the process of finding oneself and growing over time.
On the program, we delivered 'Bittersweet', which brings back sweet and sorrowful memories. Furthermore, talk also emerged about 'moves like ciara', a confident song with a cool, strong phrase, '그럼 이제 니가 해보세요 (Then you try doing it now)', making for a broadcast packed with their diverse charms!
■ 'K-STAR CHART presents POP-K TOP10 Friday'
We announce this week's latest ranking for 'K-STAR CHART presents POP-K TOP10 Friday'! This time, in place of Yuto Adachi who was on break, special personalities livened up the program.
Filling in were Daigo Kobayashi and Kairi Imai from the boy group TAGRIGHT, who belong to the same agency as Adachi! The group name TAGRIGHT carries the strong will to change 'TAG = individuality/being true to oneself' into 'RIGHT = correct answer/being right'. We introduce the highly anticipated top 3 delivered together with these two fresh members who are awaiting their long-awaited debut with 'TOUCH' on July 15!
3rd Place: Jeong Dong-won (JD1) '오늘을 건너 내일 다시 만나는 길 (Crossing Today, We’ll Meet Again Tomorrow)'
Opening the top 3 is Jeong Dong-won (JD1), who ranked up from 5th place last week! With a melody and singing voice that deeply permeates the heart, it is a gem of a song that instinctively makes you feel once again, 'Korean ballads really are great.'
2nd Place: Cha Eun-woo (ASTRO) 'SATURDAY PREACHER'
Showing an overwhelming surge from 7th place last week, rapidly rising to 2nd place! He achieved an astounding rank up.
1st Place: BTS 'SWIM'
And shining proudly in 1st place is BTS's 'SWIM'! Surprisingly, this is their 3rd time taking the top spot. Furthermore, they splendidly secured the monthly MVP for April, proving their absolute strength exuding the dignity of a champion! During the program, in response to the topic 'What kind of existence is BTS?', there was also a moment where Daigo passionately spoke of his respect, saying, 'They are the beginning (for me), and the reason I became interested in dance.' It was a week that once again made us realize the greatness of BTS, who have become the origin point for artists who are going to debut from now on!
