K-Pop girl group UNIS geared up for a ‘Swicy' comeback
K-Pop girl group UNIS
is another up-and-coming group in the Korean music industry. The group, formed after a rigorous and hard competition/survival show, features members Hyeonju, Nana, Gehlee, Kotoko, Yunha, Elisia, Yoona, and Seowon.
Second EP, 'Swicy'
The group made a powerful comeback with their new second EP titled 'Swicy' that features a sweet and spicy tone. The group has shared that with this EP they wish to showcase a completely different side to the public. The girls want to come back with a bang and have a 'do it all' energy for this comeback.
The EP features 5 tracks in total, namely, 'From a Seed Called 'Hey, What's Up'?,' 'DDANG!,' 'Good Feeling,' and 'Spring Rain,' along with the title track 'SWICY.'
The concept of 'Swicy'
In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, the group shared more about the comeback, their hopes for the future, and more plans. When talking about the concept of this comeback, member Hyeonju shared that the concept combines 'sweet' and 'spicy' together. She shared that 'SWICY is a new word that combines SWEET and SPICY. I think it would be a bit boring to only show one thing—sweet or spicy—and we wanted to show both the spicy and sweet charms that are unique to UNIS.'
Good Feelings and Key Rings
One of the featured tracks in the EP makes reference to 'key ring,' which has become a popular fad amongst Gen Z currently. The group was then asked about what their favorite keychains are. All of the members shared that they prefer cute keychains, such as cat and dog keychains, My Melody keychains, anime keychains, etc. Elisa's answer, though, melted hearts as she shared that her favorite keychain was a name tag key ring the members of the group had made for one another during their debut.
Trying new things this comeback
In the same interview, the members also talked about what is different about this comeback. When asked if they are sticking to their known strengths this comeback or if they're opting for something new, the members have detailed answers for what all they were incorporating this comeback. Gehlee and Elisa emphasized how much they practiced this comeback. With new and hard choreographies, the members shared how they are challenging themselves by trying new genres and moves.
Yoona and Hyeonju majorly focused on their looks and their vocals, with the latter sharing that this comeback she managed to try out short hair and also worked on improving her ad-libs. Yoona, on the other hand, showed her excitement, sharing that 'I wanted to show my individuality more clearly! I thought that SWICY really suited me so well that I focused on facial expressions that matched the mood of the song!'
Hopes and dreams for the future
When asked about what all they wish to achieve this year with this comeback, all the members enthusiastically replied that they wish to win the 1st position during music show promotions. Gehlee also sweetly added that they wish for more opportunities where the group gets to show their side to the public more.

Box Office: Elio takes the worst start ever for Pixar; Grosses just USD 35 million globally through its opening weekend
Pixar's new movie, Elio, has not opened well at the box office. In the United States, the movie earned a timid USD 21 million over the weekend. The film grossed only USD 14 million from international markets in its extended first weekend. Together, these numbers add up to USD 35 million worldwide. This is disappointing because Elio cost USD 150 million to make, not counting the money spent on marketing; meaning it needs USD 375-400 million to breakeven theatrically. Elio, Despite Good Reviews From Viewers, Is Performing Poorly In Theatres Elio is an original animation, and not a sequel or a remake. It tells the story of a boy named Elio who loves space and dreams of going there. One day, he is taken to a place called the Communiverse, where he meets aliens and goes on a big adventure. The movie has good reviews, but it has not attracted many people to theaters. 28 Years Later Is Performing Better Than Elio At A Fraction Of The Budget The poor performance of Elio is surprising because Pixar is known for making popular animated movies. In the past, family films and animations were very successful, especially during the summer. However, this year, a horror movie, 28 Years Later, budgeted at a fraction of the cost of Elio, did better over the weekend. This shows that something is different this year. Viewers Feel Elio Was Not Marketed Well Many people think the marketing for Elio was not strong enough. Marketing is important because it tells people about the movie and makes them want to see it. If not many people know about a movie, they are less likely to go to the theater. Some fans have said they did not see any ads for Elio, which might be why it did not do well. Elio's High Cost Has Become A Concern The high cost of making Elio is also a problem. Movies that cost a lot to make need to earn a lot of money to be successful. With only USD 35 million so far, Elio is far from reaching USD 375-400 million. Elio Needs To Leg Out Like Elemental To Be Seen Betterly Despite the bad start, there is still hope for Elio. Some people believe that good word-of-mouth can help the film's prospects. If more people hear good things about Elio, they might decide to watch it. This happened with another Pixar movie, Elemental, which did better over time because people were vocal about the fact that they liked it. The disappointing opening of Elio is a reminder of how hard it is to make a successful movie. Even a studio like Pixar, which has made many great films, can face challenges. The story of Elio is unique and full of adventure, but it needs more people to see it to be a success. For now, Elio is struggling, but there is still a chance for it to turn things around. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Elio.

Trolls argued that it didn't sound like Niki's natural voice. Some called his live singing 'horrible,' while others made comments like, 'Ni-ki, you will never be Felix. (sic)' (Photo Credit: X/IHurdlWasCancel / X/DropKpop) Stray Kids' member Felix is widely known for having one of the deepest voices in the K-pop industry. Fans of the K-pop idol have defended him, explaining that the change in his voice is due to natural puberty and years of vocal training. They also noted that the clips being compared to his 2025 version of Drunk-Dazed were from 2020, when Niki was only 15. advertisement Supporters pointed out that it's normal for vocal tone and pitch to evolve as someone matures from adolescence into adulthood.
