![It's Chung Ha's world and we're all just living in it, to be honest! The solo artist released her first full-length album, Querencia, on Feb. 15.
According to Chung Ha, she decided upon the album's title after a discussion with her therapist. "In psychological terms she told me [Querencia] was a place that feels the most you," she revealed at her press conference on Feb. 15. "I was sick and had a lot of other personal issues in 2020. I thought about what helped me the most [during that time] and it was my album, and I was like 'I should name it Querencia.'"
When asked about her single "Bicycle," Chung Ha revealed that she was surprised that it became the album's title track. "I love challenging myself on any project that I jump into," she said. "I never knew that this track would be the title actually because it's so new. I've never rapped in English before. Querencia is about being fun and exciting."
This week also saw the release of Kang Daniel's "Paranoia," Kingdom's debut with "Excalibur," NCT 127's "Gimme Gimme," I.M of Monsta X's "God Damn," Soyou and Iz*One's "Zero:Attitude (feat. pH-1)," so be sure to check those out too! 💕](https://img.youtube.com/vi/FtFXRasYU40/mqdefault.jpg)

The seven-membered group — consisting of Song-sun, Jin-ha, Hyun-bin, So-eun, Kelly, Jia, and Mire — made their debut on Feb. 17 with their single "Doom Doom Ta" and I'm officially obsessed.
The group's name Tri.Be comes from a combination of the words "triangle," which is considered to be the perfect shape, and "being." And, with members from South Korea, Taipei, and Japan, the group speaks English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese fluently too.
Bold, confident, and charismatic, "Doom Doom Ta" is the perfect introduction to the world of Tri.Be. The song's lyrics center on the importance of loving yourself and being confident, while its upbeat melody makes you want to dance the night away. This is the uplifting, feel-good song you need to add to your playlist!
Congratulations on your debut, Tri.Be! We can't wait to see where you go next.
