With its addictive melody and unique application of vocals to the song, the 2nd part of “Lollipop” will undoubtedly be a major hit like “lollipop” did.
It was announced that
2am will be releasing a repacked album this coming March.

Rain announced that he will be releasing a special edition album this coming april! Originally he wanted to make a full comeback this april to commemorate his debut month before~ After 1 year and 6 months of hiatus from the music industry since Rainism. Rain is coming back this time without
