Seen above is the teaser for "$ECRET no more" from KPOP girl group Billlie (whom Ive not featured for a looooong time now), the opening track for their upcoming first full album "[the collective soul and unconscious: chapter two]"...

Alas, it is all not what it seems, as said-teaser is currently embroiled in a creative-controversy: The usage of Ai to rip off existing animation projects, including the particular use of imagery from a 2025 short film "NICCOLO". The filmmakers react:

Creators of short film ‘Niccoló’ respond to Mystic Story’s use of AI to replicate their artstyle in recent Billlie teaser.

In case folks remain "unconvinced", here is the animated short film "NICCOLO" from @niccolo.gobelins):

SYNOPSIS: A gifted musician's pursuit of fame traps him in the audience's demands—until a broken violin forces him to choose between hollow applause and true artistic freedom.

Billlie's "𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗛𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗖𝗜𝗢𝗨𝗦" features 3 films ("𝖮𝗇𝖾 𝗆𝖺𝗉 𝗍𝗁𝖺𝗍 𝖼𝗈𝗎𝗅𝖽 𝗈𝗇𝗅𝗒 𝖻𝖾 𝖽𝗋𝖺𝗐𝗇 𝖿𝗋𝗈𝗆 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝗂𝗇𝗌𝗂𝖽𝖾"), with "𝖳𝖧𝖤 𝖢𝖮𝖮𝖱𝖣𝖨𝖭𝖠𝖳𝖤𝖲 𝖮𝖥 𝖳𝖧𝖤 𝖲𝖤𝖫𝖥" being the third to be released thus far, after "TBD" and "WORK" (featured below), which I hope had not been buried too far in by the current controversy, as it would be unfair to everyone involved - including the girls themselves - getting this project into reality thus far, IMHO.
