SEOUL, Aug. 3 (Yonhap) -- SSAK3, a project K-pop trio formed for a popular weekend variety TV show, continued to dominate various music streaming charts Monday, driven by fresh momentum from solo tracks released by members over the weekend.

 

The co-ed trio, formed of two late '90s-2000s singers -- Lee Hyo-ri of girl group FIN.K.L and male soloist Rain -- and top-billed comedian-emcee Yoo Jae-suk, for MBC TV's "Hang Out With Yoo" on Saturday released solo tracks by its three members featuring other high-profile K-pop stars.

 

SSAK3's three group songs -- "In Summer," a remake of the iconic 1994 dance hit by Deux, "Beach Again" and "Play That Summer" -- have risen on the top tiers of most domestic music streaming services since their successive weekly releases starting July 11, outpacing other top acts, such as Mamamoo and BLACKPINK.

 

Members of SSAK3 (word play on "ssaksseuri," a Korean slang term for "clean sweep") have been promoting the songs under alter-ego aliases: Yooduragon (Yoo Jae-suk), B-Dragon (Rain) and Linda G (Lee Hyo-ri).

*** I praise them! SSAK3 is living up to their name. The name in Korean is similar to the word SsakSseulYi, which means to sweep. They're taking the spotlight now. It's all down to their own talent in the end!

Media reveal 3 celebrities that have made retro fashion a sexy trend

 

Media have revealed 3 celebrities that have made retro fashion into a sexy trend. 

 

 

On the 30th, Lee Hyo-ri (Linda G) showed off retro fashion as if she was back in the 1990s with a fluorescent power suit on a SSAK3 behind-the-scenes cut with Yoo Jae-Suk and Rain. 

 

Stylist Lee Ji-hye stated, "We reformed vintage pieces mixed in with trendy clothes from current designers. That's why Linda G's outfit looks retro but still trendy reminiscent of charismatic Deux."

 

 

The image of a sexy diva seducing the public was once frowned upon but it appears this is the era of powerful divas who express their own style rather than being pretty.

Singer and actor Rain released another teaser for his upcoming personal YouTube variety show, called Season B Season. During the teaser, Rain went around in public asking his fans what they’d like to see him do on the show.

Rain and Kim Tae Hee are one of the most famous power couples in Korea. They tied the knot back in 2017 after dating for years, and now have two beautiful daughters together!
