BB Girls Minyoung and Verbal Jint Reunite for Mysterious New Track
Verbal Jint's label, Otherside, made waves on August 29th by announcing the impending release of the rap veteran's forthcoming album, titled "K-XY: INFP," scheduled to drop on September 7th.
However, it's not just the album's release that has caught the attention of the music world.

The single in question, intriguingly named "While Waiting For Delivery Food" (배달음식을 기달리며), reportedly explores the theme of yearning for an ex-girlfriend while anticipating the arrival of a meal.

Meanwhile, Minyoung, initially debuting with Brave Girls, has risen to prominence as a celebrated idol.
The group, now rebranded as BB Girls following their departure from their former label, continues to make waves in the industry.

BB Girls (Formerly Brave Girls) Face Shocking Drop In Album Sales
After the explosive success of their viral sensation "Rollin'," Brave Girls released their mini-album "Summer Queen," a feat that showcased their mettle by amassing an impressive 60,940 first-week sales on Hanteo.
Subsequent releases, including the repackage titled "After We Ride," maintained a respectable performance with 11,333 first-week sales.
The group's 6th mini album, "Thank You," further bolstered their reputation, securing 32,644 first-week sales.
However, their most recent comeback as BB Girls with the track "ONE MORE TIME" has revealed a staggering drop, recording only 6,110 first-week sales.

The sudden decline has prompted a slew of speculations attempting to decode the underlying factors.
Foremost among these theories is the group's recent rebranding as BB Girls. Changing the identity of a musical act is inherently risky, as it can potentially alienate long-standing fans and introduce confusion into the market.
Additionally, the fiercely competitive nature of the industry, particularly within the realm of girl groups, may also be a contributing factor to their downturn in sales.
Back to Minyoung and Verbal Jint, as anticipation reaches a fever pitch, music enthusiasts are left pondering the narrative that these former flames and current collaborators will unveil through their musical reunion.
With the shared history, emotions, and artistry that underpin this unique partnership, the forthcoming single holds the promise of a deep and resonant musical journey.
