Jimin is so flirty and smiley in this Tik Tok with Lee Hyun. Cheeky flesh reveal and jazz hands ending. Super kitsch, love it. A fun way to ease into the weekend.

It's another quid pro quo from Jimin after Lee Hyun did the Like Crazy Challenge with him in Face Promotion era. Lee Hyun included a message thanking Jimin for dancing with him and wishing him luck with Angel.
But who is Lee Hyun and how is he related to Midnatt the new Big Hit AI artist and the song Masquerade. In fact he is a Big Hit veteran who has been with the company since the early 2000s, debuting with 8Eight in 2007 and then appearing with Homme between 2010 and 2018. He has also worked as a solo artist with the label since 2009.
His biggest hit is "You are the best of my life" which got to No. 3 in the Korean charts in 2011 and was accompanied by this Shallow Hal style MV. Check out the Hitman Bang cameo.

He also wrote the song You are Here for BTS World.

He is now experimenting with AI in Project L. I have to say that the whole idea of AI generated music is a complete anathema for me so after reading the recent Bang PD Billboard cover article I was definitely imagining the worse and studiously avoiding Midnatt on SM. I have very serious reservations about the direction that this technology is taking us in and I am pleased to see that Lee Hyun tries to tackle that in this Billboard article.
He obviously sees the use of this technology as a way of increasing the understanding of the song and encouraging greater connection and global reach. The musical equivalent of a Babel Fish perhaps.

We'll have to see how such noble intentions play out in practice.
BIGHIT Music's new project MIDNATT (soloist Lee Hyun of Hommes) has released the MV for “Masquerade” which is available in 6 different languages thanks to AI technology.
Forget the popcorn, pass me and JK the alcohol cause I never thought we'd see a triangle song with Vmin and Miss BP. I'm teasing, put down the pitch forks cause its funny. However, isn't it interesting how Vmin weren't 'soulmating' as much when Tae was off with Jennie rubbing it in everyone's faces? And when Tae held JN's hand in paris for the first time, Jimin released that dance video that same day of him dancing to a song called Masquerade by Midnatt where the video starts with Jimin coming out of a closet? Those lyrics and that timing of Tae and JN strolling in Paris. Sideyeing you a bit right now, Jimin. Then after Jimin's fuck you its over Face album where he talks about a masquerade party, then came Tae's I'm sorry, don't tell me its over, Layover album with Tae begging someone back & suddenly Vmin were magically 'soulmating' again all over the damn place during Layover, which was littered with Jimin connections, topped off with Tae public serenading Jimin, introducing him has his BFF and them singing their soulmate song in our faces in 2023? Aww did Vmin finally kiss and make up?
Anyways, the theories are cracking me up. I haven't laughed this hard in a while and I have really needed a good day. Should we do a drinking game? Anytime Tae drops a Jimin reference in his songs, take a drink? Tae you gotta move on love, its been 84 years, Jimin is a taken man, but you can still hit me with a follow up track to your Jimin songs though. I don't mind. I'll take another. Cheers. P.S. Jikook come home. Its getting chaotic around here. We going stir crazy.
I snorted and laughed the pouty pants can pout all they want we just having a good laugh out here😩
Baby hold on lemme run to X for reference 🤣
Oooooohhhh I just remember thinking it's weird his interpretation of the song lifting his shirt, showing off his bum and that sexy pose- he's never beating the gay allegations 😩🤣
Aaaahhh the shipping is shipping my goodness
I loove the angst😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'll take you up on that challenge what are we drinking 👀
All the Jimin Easter eggs gotta get me drunk somehow I feel
To think a few days ago I was bored out of my mind!
A new project from the company behind K-pop superstars BTS and New Jeans is using AI technology to sing in six languages.
