Stray Kids has firmly established themselves as the most successful K-pop group on the global stage since BTS, captivating a devoted fanbase with their dark and experimental albums. As the group carves out a niche, the secret to its global success lies not just in genre-defying music, but also in the ability to connect deeply with fans across diverse cultures.

“This is the most anticipated album so far and we’re even more confident because we’ve had fun working on it. We’ll try hard to get feedback on how this album resonates with listeners.”

When Stray Kids released their new album “ATE” on July 19, the group expressed its ambition to dominate the global music scene with the latest work, as highlighted during the album’s showcase event. Their hopes were realized, as the album and its title track, “Chk Chk Boom,” achieved significant success, further enhancing the group’s global stardom.

The new mini album reached a total of 21 Billboard charts, including three of its main charts this week, according to the magazine.

The album topped the Billboard 200, leading the group to land on the Billboard Artist 100. This marks the fifth consecutive time the group has reached 한국을 the Billboard 200’s top spot since first making the chart in May 2022 with “Oddinary,” coming just short of BTS’s record of six consecutive weeks at number one.

The title song “Chk Chk Boom,” a Latin-style track with a hip-hop rhythm, reached 49th place on the Hot 100 chart. This marks the group’s highest rank on the platform’s main chart since its debut in 2018.

The album features eight tracks, with contributions from the group’s producing unit 3RACHA, consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han. Additionally, member Felix co-wrote the lyrics for one of the tracks, “Runners.”

On July 5, Mark Stein reported on his job change on his website. In the data, Russell Westbrook’s name was mentioned. 메이저놀이터

The Los Angeles Clippers are preparing to break up with Russell Westbrook. The Denver Nuggets, who are interested in trading for Russell Westbrook, are also considering negotiations with the Utah Jazz in some cases.

Denver’s Nikola Jokic is also believed to be supporting Russell Westbrook. DNVR reporter Harrison Wind quoted a person known as the Nuggets’ insider as saying, “I heard Nikola Jokic wants Westbrook for Denver. He wants to play with him. It’s not the first time he’s wanted to play with him.”

It remains to be seen whether it is true or not, but it is increasingly likely to be true at least as Denver and Westbrook are continuously connected in the transfer market.

Blitzer Report reporter Chris Haines said about the current situation, “Clippers and Westbrook are collaborating for a trade,” adding that Russell is also positive about the trade.

However, the official movement of Denver has not been confirmed yet. The replacement has already been negotiated. His replacement is Kevin Porter Jr., who joined the Clippers on the 1st along with Kai Jones.

If the trade is completed, the Clippers will have a squad that can also challenge the Western Conference championship around the triangular formation that leads to the Leonard-Harden-KPJ.

The Korean men’s basketball team won 85-84 in the 2024 Soft Bank Cup exhibition match against Japan held at Ariake Arena in Koto Ward, Tokyo on Sunday. Lee Jung-hyun (27 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists) made a great performance, while Ha Yoon-ki (15 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists) made a free throw in the final. Captain Byun Joon-hyung (12 points, 3 rebounds) also showed off his presence. 동행복권파워볼

Korea, which was dragged by Makoto Hiejima early in the game with two 3-pointers, started its pursuit with Byun Jun-hyung’s outfielder. Yang Jae-min, Oh Jae-hyun, and Ha Yoon-ki also scored, bringing the mood. Korea’s offense exploded in the second quarter. Lee Jung-hyun and Moon Jung-hyun hit 3-pointers, and Byun and Yang also succeeded in attacking. They also showed concentration in defense, neutralizing Japan’s offense. Korea, which added points from Yoo Ki-sang, Ha Yoon-ki, and Oh Jae-hyun, finished the first half 46-35.

The mood in Korea continued in the second half. At the center of the attack were Lee Jung-hyun and Byun Jun-hyung. They combined for 17 points, including four 3-pointers, in the third quarter alone, to spearhead their offense. Korea wisely handled Japan’s full-court press defense, widening the gap. Following a tip-in dunk, Ha scored a delightful two-hand dunk in the next position. At the end of the third quarter, the score was 72-52, Korea’s leisurely lead.

However, the team struggled in the fourth quarter due to Japan’s strong counterattack. Yudai Baba, Hockinson and Yuki Kawamura lost points in succession. Korea seemed to be taking a breather due to three-point shots by Lee Jung-hyun and Yoo Ki-sang, but was hit by Kawamura and Akira Jacobs. Afterwards, Hawkinson allowed a shot under the basket, and the team was chased down to the one-point gap (80-79).

In times of crisis, Korea scored on two free throws that Lee Jung-hyun garnered through fouls. However, he had to concede free throws to Kawamura in succession to lose his lead. Despite this, Korea’s commitment to victory was strong. Lee Jung-hyun’s mid-range shot tied the game again, and Ha Yoon-ki made a free throw to win the final right before the game ended.

Meanwhile, Japan displayed strength in the fourth quarter by banking on Kawamura (23 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists) and Hawkinson (17 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists). However, Japan lost the first game after losing to Korea in the final competition to concentrate. NBA leaguers Rui Hachimura (Lakers) and Yuta Watanabe (Memps), who did not participate in the game, were also absent.

The Korean men’s basketball team won the away game in Japan with a huge energy level.

The South Korean men’s basketball team won 85-84 in its first warm-up match against the Japanese national team at Ariake Arena in Tokyo on the 5th.

South Korea’s Lee Jung-hyun (27 points, 6 3-pointers, 4 assists) and Byun Jun-hyung (12 points) led the attack, while Ha Yoon-ki (15 points, 7 rebounds) also secured a valuable victory by defending under the basket. 파워볼사이트

Japan chased Josh Hawkinson (17 points and 9 rebounds) and Yuki Kawamura (23 points) until the end, but their last-minute concentration was disappointing.

The first quarter was fiercely contested as if it were a match of destiny. The first team that gained momentum was Japan. Japan scored consecutive goals thanks to consecutive three-point shots by Makoto Hiejima and breaking point by Yuki Kawamura.

Korea also did not easily back down. Byun Joon-hyung’s three-point shot cut off the opponent’s flow, and Yang Jae-min and Oh Jae-hyun scored consecutive breakthrough points to catch up.

Since then, the first quarter of the two teams, which continued their frustrating trend without three-point shots, ended with Japan leading 15-13.

Early in the second quarter, Japan seemed to take the lead with consecutive 3-pointers by Tokashi and Hiejima, but Korea also countered with outer shots. Starting with Yoo Ki-sang’s successful free throws and three-pointers by Lee Jung-hyun and Moon Jung-hyun, Lee Woo-suk and Ha Yoon-ki also joined the scoring race, widening the gap in an instant.

Japan seemed to be chasing after Kawamura with a three-point shot, but it was not enough to dampen the momentum of Korea, which boosted its energy. Korea ended the first half with a 46-35 lead by combining Lee Woo-suk’s three-point play and Ha Yoon-ki’s alley-oop play.

Japan, which has become a chaser, faced the second half with Hawkinson’s floater score, but the shooters’ outer shots still did not explode and continued to be frustrating.

While Japan faltered, Korea began to run away. Starting with Ha Yoon-ki’s mid-range shot, Byeon Jun-hyung’s fastball score and Lee Jung-hyun’s shower 3-pointer completely dampened the momentum.

Japan then tried to change the atmosphere through Tominaga’s free throws and breakthrough scores, but South Korea countered with Oh Jae-hyun’s putback score. Japan did not provide scoring support from other sides except Tominaga, and South Korea boosted its momentum with Byun Joon-hyung’s 3-point shot and Ha Yoon-ki’s putback dunk.

Two seconds before the end of the third quarter, Korea turned the stadium into a library when Ha Yoon-ki dunked in a fastball. Korea had a generous lead of 72-52 at the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter of the match, Japan began to chase after Japan for the last time. Japan elevated the mood by combining scores by Yudai Baba and Hawkinson and three-point plays by Kawamura.

Korea did not easily back down either. Lee Jung-hyun made a 3-pointer to cut off the opponent’s flow, and Yoo Ki-sang also made a 3-pointer to maintain the gap.

However, Japan scored zero due to the 3-pointer, and successfully pursued the team. Kawamura, the leader of charge, shook Korea’s bottom of the net to create chances, and Akira Jacobs made consecutive 3-pointers, narrowing the gap to single digits.

The panicked Korean players failed to produce consecutive points, and Kawamura produced his own 3-pointer and chased under the chin 80-79 with an assist to Hawkinson’s breakthrough score. Kawamura continued to generate points and made a comeback (82-84) through free throws with 36 seconds left in the game.

However, South Korea did not give up until the end and made a tie-breaking mid-range shot, followed by Ha Yoon-ki making a free throw to end the victory again.

Ha Yoon-ki scored a free throw in the final, giving Korea a victory. The Korean men’s basketball team, which Ha Yoon-ki firmly defended under the basket, won 85-84 against the Japanese national team at Ariake Arena in Tokyo on the 5th.

It was an unexpected victory. As Japan led the team in objective power, Korea was considered an underdog. When it came to reality, it was different. Ha Yoon-ki stood firmly under the basket and Lee Jung-hyun exploded outside, making an unexpected incident.

After the match, Ha Yoon-ki met at the mixed zone and said, “Watanabe and Hachimura were missing, but they were a strong team. We didn’t have much time to prepare, but we communicated well with each other and had good teamwork probably because they were young players during the match. The fact that we were not pushed back in the rebound fight is the reason for our victory.”

As Ha Yoon-ki said, Hachimura was absent from Japan on the day, but Japan was also strong thanks to Yuki Kawamura and Josh Hawkinson. Korea had the lead by 20 points (72-52) through the third quarter, but Japan led by Kawamura even took the lead at the end of the game, which shocked Korea. Then, how did Ha feel about Hawkinson.

“He is a great player. His shooting was good and skillful, which made it difficult for him to defend. Still, I was able to do this thanks to the good help of (Yang) Jae-min,” he said in a humble manner. 안전한 카지노사이트

As mentioned earlier, Korea failed to block Kawamura at the end of the game, giving up the lead. However, Lee Jung-hyun’s mid-range shot tied the game, and with 0.9 seconds left, Ha made a free throw through an opponent’s foul, made one, and intentionally failed to make two, gaining a thrilling one-point victory. How did Ha feel when he was attempting free throws.

Ha Yoon-ki said, “I think the free throw is a little weak, but even if I can’t put it in, it’s a tie, so I tried to shoot it comfortably, but I went in. My opponent had a timeout and a sign said not to put it on the bench, so I missed it on purpose, but fortunately, I didn’t go in.”

On the day, Ha made two dunk shots at the end of the third quarter, creating a highlight film. Ha Yoon-gi made a one-handed dunk by putting a layup shot that Oh Jae-hyun missed in a fastball situation into the net, and two seconds before the end of the third quarter, Ha Yoon-gi directly crossed the ball to the offensive court and hit a cool dunk to completely beat Japan’s momentum.

When asked about the situation at the time, he said, “I thought it was a dream. I had two players with (Lee) Jung-hyun in front of me and I made up my mind to shoot a dunk. Chung did a great job today. I think that’s why I was able to win.”

Meanwhile, Ha was matched up with a variety of big man players including Watanabe Huw and Jacobs Akira besides Hawkinson. Ha must have had difficulties as each player has different styles.

Asked by reporters what should be supplemented in the second game on the 7th, Ha Yoon-ki said, “I changed the defense I’ve practiced so far ahead of the game. As much as I didn’t have enough time, there was a part that didn’t fit, but I’ll focus more and prepare well for tomorrow’s training so that I can win again.”

Suwon Girls’ High School beat Bundang Management High School 68-58 in the 105th National Sports Festival Women’s High School Gyeonggi Province Representative Contest held at Myeongji University Nature Campus Gymnasium on the 5th. Third-year shooter Choi Sa-rang led the team to victory by scoring 27 points, including two three-point shots.

Choi Sa-rang, who transferred to Suwon Girls’ High School last year after graduating from Kyeongol Middle School and Bundang Management High School, made her debut at Suwon Girls’ High School. If she changes schools, she will not be allowed to participate in competitions organized by the Korea National Basketball Association for one year after issuing a transfer consent form, and for three months at competitions organized by the Korea Basketball Association. 토토사이트 추천

Coincidentally, Choi met his old team from the first match after changing his uniform, and said, “I feel good because I won the last warm-up match in high school. I was nervous because it was my first match since I was given disciplinary action, but thanks to the good help of my teammates, I managed to play the first match well. I started with the first-year students, and I was able to unite as one team to win.”

The atmosphere is different from other competitions because the national sports competition, in which each team competes to win one ticket to the national sports competition, is held as a single round.

Choi said, “The atmosphere is different from other competitions because it is a one-off match in which the losing team is definitely over. I was a little nervous before the game, but when I entered the game, I tried not to be nervous and show what I practiced. I am happy that the results came out as I practiced,” Choi said, explaining his victory in the starting match.

Choi’s specialty is shooting and shooting ability, which allows him to score points with all weather conditions regardless of distance such as midrange and 3-point shooting. Kang Byeong-soo, coach of Suwon Girls’ High School, also called Choi “a player who is strong in shooting and plays defense really hard.”

When asked to introduce himself, Choi said, “I am confident in shooting. However, I need to supplement my defense more. My weakness is that my response to defense is slow on a one-on-one basis. I need to supplement my defense more in order not to become a halves player. I am improving my ability to follow through and cover even if I get the first hole.”

Choi’s dream professional role model is somewhat unique. He picked Jeon Sung-hyun of the Changwon LG Sakers, who plays in the KBL.

“I have two role models, Jeon Seong-hyun and Kim Dan-bi. In particular, I watch Jeon’s play a lot as I play shooter position. His shooting timing is very fast and accurate. He also has excellent driving-in and defense capabilities, in addition to just shooting,” he said.

Suwon Girls’ High School, which won the 2022 National Sports Festival, has become the representative of Gyeonggi Province again in two years. The National Sports Festival will be held in Sacheon, South Gyeongsang Province in October.

“As a team, my goal is to achieve a semifinal or higher performance in the National Sports Festival,” Choi Sa-rang said. “Personally, I want to supplement my defense and become a good player in both ball and defense.”

Local media “ESPN” reported on the 4th (Korea time) that the Lakers agreed to a multi-year contract worth $7.9 million (about 10.9 billion won) for four years with Bronny James. It was signed after his father, LeBron James, agreed to an extension contract with the Lakers.

According to ESPN, Bronny James will start with $1.15 million (about 1.5 billion U.S. dollars) in the 2024-2025 season in his first year, finish with $1.95 million (about 2.7 billion) in his second year, $2.29 million (about 3.1 billion) in his third year, and $2.48 million (about 3.4 billion) in his final year. The deal includes team options for the final season.

Bronny James, who played for USC last year, spent 19 minutes and 4 seconds on the court for an average of 25 games in the NCAA, scoring 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists. On top of that, he had a break due to cardiac abnormalities during training last year.

After overcoming concerns, he was drafted by the Lakers with the 55th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. As his father LeBron James signed a two-year maximum contract worth up to 104 million U.S. dollars with the Lakers for the first time in NBA history, he will be able to see the father and son playing for a single team.

Even before the signing, local media reported that Bronny James would sign a multi-year contract with the Lakers. In general, it is difficult for players selected in the second round to get a multi-year contract. The possibility increases only when they compete at a high level such as the NBA Summer League and training camp. Therefore, Bronny James’ multi-year contract is an unprecedented condition. 무료슬롯사이트

Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka praised Bronny James for his “excellent mindset and potential as a defender,” while new manager JJ Redic said, “There are many good things, including basic sense. With the new player development program, Bronny James will have a great opportunity to become a great player.”

Kemba Walker, who has announced his retirement, will start a new life as a leader. Walker was on the coaching staff list for the 2024-25 season announced by the Charlotte Hornets on the 4th (Korea time).

Walker will join Charlotte’s coaching staff under the title of “Player Reinforcement Coach.” He will assist Charles Lee, who will be appointed as coach for the first time next season at Charlotte. 에볼루션 바카라사이트

Charlotte has special meaning to Walker. In the 2011 draft, she was selected by the Charlotte Bobcats as the ninth overall pick in the first round and played for eight seasons.

During the eight seasons, he had 10,09 points, 2,317 rebounds, and 3308 assists in 605 games. He holds the Hornets’ career record in terms of time when scoring, field goal, three-point shot, and free throw. In addition, he ranked second in assists, third in steals, and third in the number of games played.

Having played in the NBA for 12 seasons and had four All-Star and one All-NBA career, he announced his retirement from active duty last season after playing for AS Monaco in the French League.

Upon announcing his retirement, he said, “This is not a goodbye because basketball will forever be a part of my life. I will happily be waiting for the next opportunity.” As he promised, he stayed on the court and began to work hard to nurture future players.

Meanwhile, Charlotte hired Lamar Skitter, Josh Longstaff, Chris Gent, Blaine Mueller, Ryan Fraser, Matt Hill and Jermaine Buckner as coaches. On top of that, Jack Peterson was hired as coach and director of player development.
