Seventeen just made Tiny Desk history as the first K‑pop group to perform an in‑office concert at NPR, delivering a nine‑song medley with a live band squeezed behind the famous shelves. The set, which Music Connection highlighted in its January “Song Biz” column, strips away arena‑scale production in favor of tight harmonies, reworked choreography for a cramped stage and arrangements tailored to Tiny Desk’s intimate, musician‑forward format. With only part of the group present and an audience o

How Ray Turned Super Bowl Weekend Into His Own Co‑Hosted Show

Ray isn’t in the booth calling the game, but he and Tota have basically turned Super Bowl weekend into a live‑streamed crossover episode for their communities. Instead of a blazer and a studio desk, his “set” is the Fanatics red carpet and the NFL’s celebrity flag football field, where they stream for hours, bouncing between events, reading chat and grabbing whoever wanders past for off‑the‑cuff interviews. Clips from Vegas show Ray doing a goofy NFL “check‑in” segment, reuniting with Tota on t
