Zayn, Liam & Jungkook News + Revisiting When Heartthrobs Split From Their Teen Pop Image

This week on Name 3 Songs…

⚡ ️ What is life after Love on Tour? Harry Styles’ multi-year tour is coming to an end this week. 

⚡Ahead of Zayn’s new music, the former One Direction member went on the Call Her Daddy podcast for his first interview in 6 years. Zayn shared a brief reflection on his One Direction days and addressed the alleged altercation with Yolanda Hadid, the mother of his ex-wife Gigi Hadid. 

⚡ Meanwhile, One Direction bandmate Liam Payne returned to YouTube and TikTok after some time away. Liam says the discussion around his appearance on Logan Paul’s podcast Impaulsive in May 2022 was a wake up call to check into a sobriety program. 

⚡Jung Kook of BTS is the latest member to drop his solo song and accompanying music video featuring Latto. Is this Jung Kook’s lean into the adult bad boy trope? We’re breaking down the song and the music video that had us thinking about the parallels of parasocial relationships. 

⚡With all of the boy band happenings, we thought it fit to revisit an old episode about boy banders and teen pop stars who re-envision themselves as adults with an overtly sexy album, following in the footsteps of Justin Timberlake’s “Justified.”
