Singing eaJ’s praise is something I will never tire of. With every new teaser, I know I’m in for something amazing, and the subsequent release that comes always blows my expectations out of the water. After dropping his EP 1, then releasing “LA Traffic (/)” and his collab with MICO on “Ever After” (both of which Merged Media reviewed here and here), 2025 is shaping up to host an incredible run of releases from eaJ, and his recent single “put it on me” only furthers

Canadian indie-rock duo PRYVT amassed a huge following of listeners after opening for one of South Korea’s biggest indie bands wave to earth and releasing their first full album &Scene. Characterized by their atmospheric blend of alt-rock and bedroom pop sounds, PRYVT’s latest single “PALETTE,” released on September 5th ahead of their sophomore album BACK TO REALITY  - releasing in November.

In what is arguably the team up of the century (at least, to me specifically), singer/songwriters MICO and eaJ have released their long-teased collab single “Ever After.” From the title, it is easy to assume the track is a love song about finding your happily ever after, but that would be an incorrect guess. “Ever After”, an upbeat dreamy pop track with heart-aching lyrics, tells the story of a relationship gone sour.

Maybe you’re getting over your last heartbreak, or maybe you're daydreaming about that one person you saw at the airport for a few fleeting seconds. Whatever it is, the matters of the heart have always been something that musicians of all genres have tackled and explored throughout the centuries. Two artists that excel at expressing the turmoil of what the heart wants are singer/songwriters eaJ and keshi.

Headlining an international festival with 2.5 million viewers after starting out at a company that had only 20 employees sounds like a heartwarming movie plot — but for ATEEZ, an eight-member group from KQ Entertainment, it’s reality.

Fresh off of Head In The Clouds in Taipei, singer/songwriter eaJ (Park Jaehyung) dropped the surprise announcement that his newest single, “Typical Story,” would be released on December 8th. In his tweet, he says that if fans achieve 1 million streams on Spotify, he will release another song next week and will continue to do so until every song he has ready is dropped.

Taking place in Las Vegas this year, the We Bridge Music Festival & Expo set out to complete its goal to connect creative expressions for one collective experience.

“Last weekend was a dream” is the caption of eaJ’s Instagram post, showcasing photos from his two-day in insomnia release party held at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles.

On April 2, Stray Kids - an 8-member boy group under JYP Entertainment - held their final encore show in Los Angeles to wrap up their year-long Maniac tour.
