On the 6th, Taeyeon will release a new song, “Weekend.” It is a disco-pop song with a light guitar and retro synth sound.

Taeyeon, who has established herself as a go-to singer, is expected to uncover her new charm by introducing a singing rap in this album.
Baek A Yeon will release her fifth mini-album, Observe, on the 13th. Through the four versions in the concept photo, she showed off her various charms with her lively and refreshing looks. “Shouldn’t Have… (Feat.
