SECRET NUMBER is taking over!

The fast-rising K-pop girl group just returned with their incredible sixth single album, 독사 (DOXA), marking their first comeback of 2023 in South Korea, following their Japanese debut back in March.

The group consists of 6 members: Léa from Japan, the first Indonesian K-Pop star Dita, Jinny from the United States and Minji, Soodam and Zuu from South Korea.

The name SECRET NUMBER is a nod to the special numbers every person has in their passwords and PIN codes, to create a special meaning for their fans.

“I’m always really excited to come out with new music. I hope this album will also introduce SECRET NUMBERs name to new listeners and new people around the world,” member Dita says.

The collection includes the title track, which describes a toxic relationship’s infinite cycle of making up and breaking up, plus their first-ever fan song “Beautiful One,” dedicated to LOCKEY, their fanbase, just after celebrating their 3rd anniversary on May 19.

“I feel like we have grown a lot by challenging ourselves to a new side and concept, and I hope the listeners of ‘독사 (DOXA)’ can relate to various shapes of love. I’m very happy to meet our LOCKEY on the stage again! I’ll work hard with my members during this promotion to make all LOCKEYs feel happy as well,” member Zuu adds.

T.J. Newman is living her wildest dreams – she went from making $35K as a flight attendant to fielding seven-figure deals for her two books, which will both be made into blockbuster films.

T.J.‘s second novel, Drowning: The Rescue of Flight 1421 is out today. After taking off, a plane tragically plunges into the ocean, leaving its crew and passengers stranded inside as it sinks. Among the individuals trapped are an engineer and his 11-year-old daughter. Meanwhile, the girl’s mother, who is estranged from her husband, is a member of an elite rescue team that races against time to save the passengers before they run out of air.

Warner Brothers recently won the film rights for Drowning for $1.5 million but other Hollywood heavyweights who expressed serious interest include Steven Spielberg, Alfonso Cuaron, Damien Chazelle, Nicole Kidman, The Russo Brothers, M. Night Shyamalan and Jerry Bruckheimer.
