Ava Max Celebrates ‘Baby Hairs’ Growing Back After Losing Them to COVID-19
Ava Max is ready to leave her experience with COVID-19 behind as she slowly lets her hair grow back. In an Instagram Story posted on Wednesday (Dec. 30), the “Kings & Queens” singer posted a short video of small hairs beginning to grow in on the top of her head, and writing that she suffered from some hair loss after contracting the virus in 2020. “Baby hairs Comin THRU,” she wrote. “Also so so happy my hair is growing back ..

From Twice To TXT, These Are The 21 Best K-Pop B-Sides Of 2021
By Elizabeth de Luna Back in 2020, we looked toward K-pop to see what it could be and where it could take us. The industry made swift, graceful pivots to accommodate the pandemic, leading the rest of the world into an era of virtual concerts. By the end of the year, many were cautiously optimistic as the first vaccines were approved. “Wouldn’t it be great,” we thought, “if by this time next year, we’d be going to live shows again?” Just a few weeks ago, we were close to realizing that bright wish. P1Harmony performed at the Korean Culture Center Night in Los Angeles in what might have been the first in-person K-pop concert in the United States since the pandemic began. BTS sold out a four-night run at the shiny new SoFi Stadium in the same city. Ateez, Monsta X, and Twice all announced Nor...
