TXT takes listeners to Neverland and looks back on new EP "Head Name: Temptation"

 In their latest EP, "The Name Chapter: Temptation," K-pop group TOMORROW X TOGETHER explores "how to be seduced by the sweetness of instant gratification," as Choi Soobin describes it. Although this group is not the only group that talks about this issue recently (see: the evening of the release of the music video of Taylor Swift's "Lavender Haze" (2022) or Caroline Polachek clears the glass of wine much in his music video "Ijeri" (2022)) , TXT is qualified to talk about it. TXT proudly describes themselves as Gen Z storytellers, connecting the universal themes of longing and loneliness with the current situation. With the outbreak of COVID-19 following their 2019 debut, TXT's development has been defined as an artist from diversity and turmoil alongside the rest of their generation. This whole group portrait is based on the desire to leave the struggle of modern society as the group is looking for a lot of love. "In a world of noth

 Twitter has considered selling user names to generate new revenue as its owner, Elon Musk, tries to resuscitate the company’s business, two people with knowledge of the plan said. Twitter employees have held conversations about selling some user names for the service since at least December, the people said. Engineers have discussed running online auctions where people can bid for the user names, which are the words, numbers or string of characters that follow the @ sign by which accounts are identified on the platform. Mr. Musk’s user name, for example, is @elonmusk. It’s unclear if the project will move forward and if the plan affects all user names or only a subset, the people said. But Mr. Musk said last month that he wanted to start eliminating inactive accounts on Twitter and free up 1.5 billion user names. Only certain user names — such as those of well-known people, brands and popular names — may have value. The social media company has been in turmoil since Mr. Musk bought it

 While much of the attention thrown on Samsung in the past couple of months revolves around the upcoming Galaxy S23 flagships, Evan Blass shared official-looking renders of two unreleased Samsung Galaxy A-series phones. Based on a few hints, these should be the Galaxy A34 and Galaxy A54 - two of Samsung’s key phones heading into 2023 which should launch on January 18 in India. Both phones were featured in previous leaks so we have a solid idea on what to expect. Galaxy A34 should bring nearly identical specs to its predecessor with a 6.5-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate and an Exynos 1280 chipset. The battery is expected to come in at 5,000 mAh and will support 25W charging while the camera department will be headline by a 48MP main shooter. The phone will likely boot Android 13 with One UI 5 on top and is expected to retain the IP67 water resistance. Galaxy A54 is expected to bring a 6.6-inch FHD+ AMOLED with a 120Hz refresh rate and the yet-to-be-announced Exynos 1380
