BREAKING: New Age Turns Heads With Recent Signings

New Age Media was once again the talk of the town at the end of 2022, and while that is nothing new for the innovative label, it was in a whole new avenue.

Gaming Insiders reported that many major esports teams across many games had been bought out of their existing contracts, and signed in some way to one of New Age’s subsidiaries, New Dream Media. These titles include Apex Legends, Valorant, Overwatch, and League of Legends. These teams hailed from all over eastern Asia (not just South Korea), and most noteably, every team had at least one female-identifying player on the roster.

With the success of teams such as the Valkyries-- an Apex Legends roster under Siren Entertainment-- it’s not a huge surprise that New Age might want to get in on the action too. However, insiders insist that the timing and scale is weird; with New Age signing so many teams, over various rosters, all at once? It’s almost unheard of.

These teams have carried out their usual gaming obligations since being signed, but many insiders have advised to keep a close eye on the teams, and on New Age for new developments, because something big is coming.

CHART NEWS

Starr’s Wish You Were Here was an un-promoted special memorial release, therefore did not appear on charts.

Reflexion’s I’ll Find You performed averagely for the group, with fans hoping it’s enough to keep Liberty from punishing them in the new year

Sola’s Obsession performed adequately, and while was not as big of a hit as past songs, was acceptable considering her scandals of the past year

Rejectz’s Luv U topped charts, and was praised for being an unconventional hit

Coven’s LIE topped all 8 charts, knocking Rejectz out of top positions they might have otherwise claimed

Sookie’s Weather charted very well, but not as well as it otherwise might have had Rejectz not so recently been on the charts as well, with much of the fandom focusing on the streams of the full group release

Violetta’s Can We Talk Again did not perform as strongly as some of their past releases, but resonated well with trot crowds and casual listeners, giving it a strong chart presence regardless

Byulbit : Lyncis’ 3 2 1 topped charts in Thailand, notably knocking Sumi’s former group, Daizee, from a record-breaking chart run, leading to hate from Daizee fans

Seyeon’s No Jam did adequately on charts, but was a big hit on TikTok, and became the theme song for a new variety show debuting in January

Juno’s Dr Bebe joined Rejectz and Coven at the top of the charts

Rewind’s Christmasssy was a big hit with elementary and middle school demographics, which boosted its’ numbers largely

Sera’s Baby I Hate Me Now did not perform as expected on the charts, but captivated international audiences, and did exceedingly well on Spotify

CHART NEWS

Venus’ The Feels did not chart as well as past releases, however as it was their first English release, it charted well enough in the targeted regions

Jewel’s Mafia in the Morning achieved a Perfect All-Kill, and turned out to be very popular with kids and teens.

Syndicate’s You in Me also got a brief All-Kill, edging out Mafia

Yein’s Bicycle charted well, however it’s stats were stifled by the sexual nature of the music video and lyrics, leading to some broadcasters not playing it or letting her perform it

Legacy’s Shoot Out peaked in the top 10 of all major charts, however it’s growth was hurt by the brief promotion schedule.

Daybreak’s Confession charted very well, and picked up chart rankings after it was used in a popular webdrama.

Burnout’s BEcause topped charts, and became very popular on social media due to the timeliness of it’s theme, and it coming out right before Halloween

Delight’s Deepened charted well, and became the group’s most liked music video. the outfits from the video became a fashion trend on TikTok.

Diadem’s Headbangeeeerrrr!!!!!!!! charted high in Japan, though got some backlash from metalheads who didn’t see this as real metal.

S.O.S’ I Love You topped all but one major chart, but blew up on TikTok

Andy’s Red did not chart as well as previous releases. Many say it’s because of the competitive market at the time, with it being overshadowed by bigger songs.

Scope Blue’s Moonwalk was a hit in it’s intended markets, though didn’t break into the Korean charts.

Spotlight soloist and former Haze member, Sona, released another song today-- marking her first official comeback in a year, and first appearance since her special collaboration with DK a few months back!  In the shadowy MV, Sona has a secret love affair. "Secreto" means 'secret' in Spanish, and it's a dreamy, sexy track with Spanish guitar and rhythmic beats about hidden feelings between a man and a woman.

OCTOBER 4 - Byulbit : Auriga Dazzle in New Comeback!

Byulbit’s Korean unit is back for more! Their new digital single, Dazzle Dazzle, is a song that combines hip hop and moombahton to become a hybrid dance track, sure to get stuck in your head all day long!  The music video shows the members having a ritual for all things that dazzle. This is the first official comeback since the completion of Idol Project: Reboot, in which member, Isis, competed!

OCTOBER 7 - Unity’s G1 Makes Solo Comeback

Unity member and L3THAL rapper, G1, made an official solo comeback today! Her discography has garnered a lot of interest from fans and onlookers alike, with her songs having two distinct sounds.

SEPTEMBER 26 - TRAXX-F Are Bold In New Comeback

The popular TRAXX subunit is back and dressed to kill in their new release! TRAXX-F members went all out with a bolder, fiercer look and sound than ever before in their new title track, Under Cover, which is an engaging fusion of rock and hip-hop sounds to make something wild and charismatic. Fans are starting to feel burnt, however, with many saying that this unit is basically all TRAXX does anymore, and that TRAXX should just disband and let TRAXX-F be the group for the members who still want to perform.

SEPTEMBER 29 - Trinity Make Fierce Return with YESSIR

Higher’s youngest girl group has returned and are badder than ever!  The group's new single fuses EDM with hip-hop, augmented by an aggressive brass and drum sound, and in the music video for the track, the members can be seen wearing military uniform-inspired outfits, a nod to the anthem vibe of the single's sound. This is the first official comeback from the trio since Leader, Hayoon, was a finalist on Idol Project: Reboot, so fans are expecting big things from this promotion cycle

SEPTEMBER 21 - Distich Release Optimistic New MV

Distich is back as a full twelve-member group, as well as their new song, Left & Right! The album “Heng:garæ” gets its title from the Korean word for a group of people tossing someone in the air and represents their desire to go up using their own strength amidst the chaotic uncertainties of youth.  The song takes a modern approach to the hip hop sound of the 2000s and shows Distich’s optimistic energy.
