If you ask a K–Pop stan about the biggest groups currently on the scene, there’s a good chance that the girl group IVE will be among their top answers. Hailing from Starship Entertainment, the six–member band is one of the most popular groups in Korea, in part due to the popularity of IZ*ONE alums Jang Won–young and An Yu–jin. The group also boasts many hits of their own, with songs like “LOVE DIVE” and “I AM” boasting over 300 million streams on Spotify, reaching number one on Korean music charts, and hitting top 30 on the Billboard Global 200.

The bright hues emanating from your laptop light up your dark living room, casting highlights across your face. After ten minutes of browsing Netflix, you finally choose a new show to binge–watch over the weekend. As you cozy into the couch, your phone vibrates. A Snapchat notification pops up and as you start to reply to your friends, a two–minute distraction slowly transforms into four episodes’ worth of scrolling, replying, and messaging. But the catch? You haven’t missed anything that is happening on the show.

Although it is still early in the year, I can hardly wait for summer. The frigid winds are traded in for cooling breezes, long days spent in classrooms turn into beach days that extend from sunrise to sunset, and the television series that stream year–round are replaced by seasonally topical content. One of the most anticipated releases this summer happens to be Season Three of the guilty–pleasure romantic comedy show The Summer I Turned Pretty: a show about friendship, coming of age, and a teenage love triangle that leaves audience members on the edges of their seats.

You’ve probably heard the classic adage, “Money can’t buy happiness.” However, this proverb could not be further removed from actuality, in which economic success ultimately dictates satisfaction. Within America, a longstanding traditional path has encapsulated the key to a lifetime of meaning and prosperity. As Gallup News found in a 2023 poll, U.S. adults reporting maximal levels of happiness contained college degrees, spouses, and $100,000+ in household income—all factors boosting personal wealth and assets. For the average individual, higher education leads to nuclear suburban life: a picket–fenced house, a conjugal family, and a respectable occupation. Additionally, the workforce’s most talented, intelligent, and devoted employees (theoretically) receive fulfillment through internal mobility and public recognition.

In a small mall in Brazil, a movie theater buzzes with life as a long line snakes past the popcorn stand, the ticket office, and all the way out to the theater's exit. Among the crowd, teenagers stand side by side with their grandparents—groups rarely drawn together by modern films. But the 2024 Oscar–nominated drama I'm Still Here has become a unifying force in Brazilian cinema, a phenomenon the country hasn't seen in years.

Abel Tesfaye has spent the last five years making highly thematic albums, revealing to us the inner workings of his hedonistic, dark The Weeknd persona. His last two projects—After Hours and Dawn FM—contained highly visual, conceptual imagery, and leaned into this focus, featuring cinema–inspired narratives that slowly depicted The Weeknd's inevitable descent into madness. Regarding After Hours, The Weeknd’s costume designer Patrick Henry, more popularly known as “Fresh,” told Billboard, “When he did this, it wasn’t just Abel anymore. He created a persona and took this guy through a whole experience.” Dawn FM picked up where After Hours left off—inserting The Weeknd into a state of purgatory, followed by a journey towards escape. Hurry Up Tomorrow is the light at the end of this tunnel, offering the same immersive experience. Announcing this album as his last as The Weeknd, Tesfaye lets this infamous persona take his last breaths in Hurry Up Tomorrow. But one question remains: Just how great of a finale is this?

Last month kicked the year off in a panic: political conflict ripped into our screens, threatening to upheave TikTok, Gen Z’s most cherished marketplace of brainrot. Disregarding the staged melodrama of Donald Trump and CEO Shou Chew’s back–and–forth, TikTok went into meltdown mode; creators delivered teary–eyed goodbyes, reminisced on the app’s quarantine days, and made desperate last–ditch efforts to learn Chinese. But one worry stood out to me in particular: “Where will I find new music?”

The air is cold and dry. We yawn, stretch tired limbs, and squint crusty–lidded eyes into the bleak sunlight as we trudge down Locust Walk to our 8:30 a.m. classes. It's another day we won’t touch grass or see green. Each week is an endless rotation of Pret coffee, Van Pelt, and classes we can’t stay awake for. It’s February at Penn.

At first glance, Warehouse on Watts is an unassuming building; its only telling emblem, a bold W hung above the entrance, which can be found just off east of the Broad Line, is tucked behind a row of beauty salons and mobile phone stores. After braving the cold January winds and a lengthy SEPTA ride, you enter the small room. The red lights and hazy atmosphere are a warm, if slightly ominous, welcome. You’re forced to navigate through a billowing, iridescent fog that envelops the crowd as you make your way to the coat check in the corner—the sole disco ball in the room tucked away from the dance floor, suspended elegantly over a rack of puffers and parkas. Oddly placed, though glimmering, it seems too obvious an analogy for the venue. As heads scatter across the floor like pool balls, your eyes are immediately drawn to this little thing of a stage and the great mass of wires and equipment that spill out from under it. It’s a twinkling canvas for the upcoming artists. Though the venue was intimate, the DJs of Madness and Badness—a show jointly put on by DJ@Penn, Shea Collective, and Students of Hip Hop Legacy—filled every inch of the room with sound, taking us across genres over the course of the show.
