Music Bank Episode 1257

KBS’ Music Bank (Episode 1257) started off Thursday, with one of the best music shows of the year due to the amount and quality of performances. Also, it does look like a new strategy was set for 2025. Groups will drop music on Monday or Wednesday, skip Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s music shows, and start on Thursday or Friday’s music show. Some groups will go on the second week, some will go the third week, and some will skip the early week shows altogether. First, VIVIZ showcased new music on Monday two weeks ago, skipped Tuesday and Wednesday both weeks, and now is starting their third week of promotions on Thursday and now Music Bank.

Next, ifeye performed their comeback “r u ok?”. They have a slightly different strategy where in the first week they just skipped Tuesday and Wednesday. But, in the second week, they went to Wednesday’s music show, but they skipped Thursday’s music show. In today’s performance, Won Hwayeon, the vocalist, shined with her strawberry blonde hair. She also shines with the line, “Just keep me spinning Monday to Sunday.” Finally, Hwayeon shined due to her being the only one in a pink top. Also, check out their debut track “Nerdy”. Fighting ifeye!

Then, HITGS continued their comeback and performed “CHARIZZMA”. VV, the only Chinese member, shined due to her wearing a bright yellow top and her long hair in a high pony, contrast with her bob cut in the video. Also, VV and HITGS must be tired since they’ve been promoting for almost three months straight. Ja yul VV and all the members of HITGS!

Next, ILLIT continued their promotions of their B-side “jellyous” which had an intense choreo. Minju, the Bank President, stood out wearing an all red plaid dress. Her pic was also the thumbnail and she was the last ending fairy, and gave us a closed eye, intense heart, with a double kiss and a single arched finger heart near the cheek. Minju also had to do the intense choreo and do all six interviews, in the same outfit! No wonder she didn’t have time to change!

Speaking of interviews, STAYC performed their comeback “I WANT IT” and got one of the interview spots. They even did their dance challenge with Minju from ILLIT, with Isa and Sumin dancing alongside her. Isa shined yesterday, but Sumin shined more today. She took the lead in the dance challenge and has pink hair this comeback. Also, she was wearing a backwards cap, and combined with her pink hair made her stand out. StayC’s back! As summer queens!

Finally, Purple Kiss performed their comeback “DOREMI”. Yuki, the only Japanese member, shined due to her singing even though she’s the rapper. Also, she was the only one wearing all white and yellow. Yuki was also in “Queendom Puzzle”. Finally, she was the only ending fairy and gave us crying rubbing fists next to her eyes, but looked a little surprised.

Let me know if you want a part two about Jo Yuri and VIVIZ, who were also on “Queendom 2” Congrats to all the performers!
