Five releases, five days
September 14–18, 2026 saw Yeong-tak (영탁), Lee Changseob (이창섭), Lido'er (리도어), BLACKPINK's Rosé, and Close Your Eyes (클로즈유어아이즈) all drop new music.
Yeong-tak started things on September 14 with 고고 (GOGO), his first full-length album. The title track 꺾어 is a medium-tempo song built around an unyielding spirit, driven by heavy brass and drum sounds.
Lee Changseob came next on September 15 with his third mini album 리;메이크 (Lee;Mark), subtitled Fragmenta Amoris — Latin for "fragments of love." The title track is 사계, 그리고 너.
Apple shoots Rosé's comeback
Lido'er dropped their fourth mini album 메모리 (Memory) on September 16. The title track 아게하 features dancer Choi Ho-jong (최호종) in the music video.
Rosé released the solo single 뉴 트릭 (new trick) on September 18. Apple produced the music video as part of the global "Shot on iPhone" campaign.
Close Your Eyes pre-release
Close Your Eyes pre-released 오픈 유어 아이즈 (Open Your Eyes) that same day, a track from their upcoming fourth mini album 256번째 노트 (256th Note). Members Jeon Min-wook (전민욱) and Kenshin (켄신) co-wrote the lyrics. The album title references the 256th note, one of the shortest musical notes in existence. (An album named after something almost too brief to hear is a choice.)
