Outro

From community theater and Disney Channel to Yellowstone and Netflix, Kelsey Asbille has spent more than two decades growing up on screen.

Long before she became Monica Dutton on Yellowstone, Kelsey Asbille was a shy child from South Carolina who let performing help her find her confidence.

She was born Kelsey Asbille Chow in Columbia, South Carolina, in 1991. She is the oldest of three children and has spoken openly about growing up next door to her Chinese grandmother who regularly prepared traditional meals for the family. 

Asbille began acting when she was just 11 years old appearing in a local production of Ragtime at Columbia’s Workshop Theatre. Since she was naturally shy, her mother also enrolled her in a development class intended to strengthen her confidence. At 13, Asbille landed her very first television role as Gigi Silveri on One Tree Hill and because the series was filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina, her mother would drive her between South Carolina and the set while she was a recurring character from 2005 to 2009. 

Asbille made her Disney debut in 2010 on Pair of Kings as Mikayla, then was later cast in the Disney Channel original movie Den Brother before moving towards more mature projects like her recurring role of Tracy Stewart on MTV’s Teen Wolf. During this time, the actress was also enrolled at Columbia University studying human rights. Due to her filming schedule, she was forced to complete her courses sporadically and has confirmed that she was still continuing her studies as of 2023. 

A major turning point in Asbille’s acting career arrived in 2017 when director Taylor Sheridan cast her as Natalie Hanson in the crime drama Wind River and as Monica Dutton in Yellowstone the following year. Yellowstone became one of the biggest television dramas in the United States and ran from 2018 through 2024 and in 2022, the cast received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. 

In 2024, Asbille secured her first major leading film role as Iris in Netflix’s survival thriller Don’t Move where she proved that she could carry a physically and emotionally demanding movie. From a shy theater kid to a leading actress in Hollywood, Kelsey Asbille has spent more than two decades building a career defined by steady growth and increasingly ambitious roles.

The old Chinese folk tale of the lovers Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo who couldn't be separated by a bad marriage—or death.

Come here, my little butterflies. One on each side, please. And no kicking your brother under the blanket. I can see those toes moving!

There we are.

Tonight, I'm going to tell you a story from long, long ago, when China was a land of magnificent palaces, little villages tucked among green mountains, and scholars who spent so much time studying that they sometimes forgot to eat their supper. Imagine that!

Our story is about a clever young woman named Zhu Yingtai and a kind young man named Liang Shanbo. It's a story about friendship, love, and two very special butterflies. And it begins with a girl who wanted to go to school.

A Girl with a Very Clever Plan

Long ago, in a beautiful village surrounded by rice fields and willow trees, there lived a girl named Zhu Yingtai. Yingtai was curious about absolutely everything. She wanted to know why the moon changed shape, where the swallows went in winter, and how the stars managed to stay in the sky without falling on people's heads.

She loved books, poetry and learning. There was just one problem. In those days, girls from families like hers were expected to stay at home and learn how to become proper young ladies. But Yingtai wanted to study at a famous school far away.

"Oh, Father," she pleaded, "please let me go! I promise I'll study very hard."

Her father shook his head. "Impossible! You're a girl!"

Now, Yingtai was not the sort of girl who gave up just because someone said impossible. She thought and thought until she came up with a rather mischievous idea. She would dress as a boy!

She put on a scholar's robe, tucked her hair beneath a cap, and practiced walking and speaking like a young gentleman. She even practiced a deep voice.

"Good morning, honorable teacher!"

Oh dear. She sounded rather like a frog with a sore throat. But after a little more practice, she was ready. At last, her father agreed to let her go, provided she was careful.

And so, dressed as a young scholar, Yingtai set off on the greatest adventure of her life.

A Friend on the Road

On her journey to school, Yingtai met a young man named Liang Shanbo. Shanbo was a gentle, thoughtful fellow who was also traveling to study. He carried a bundle of books, a little food, and an umbrella.

A very sensible young man, wouldn't you say? Especially the umbrella. You never know when the clouds might decide to empty their pockets.

The two travelers began talking and discovered that they loved the same poems, admired the same scholars, and enjoyed asking the same sorts of questions. Before long, they were laughing like old friends.

"Since we're going to the same school," said Shanbo, "why don't we travel together?"

Yingtai smiled. "I'd like that very much."

And so they continued their journey side by side. At school, they studied together, ate together, and spent their free time wandering through the gardens.

When Shanbo struggled with a difficult passage, Yingtai helped him understand it. When Yingtai couldn't remember a poem, Shanbo helped her practice. And when one of them fell asleep over a book, the other would give a little cough.

"Ahem!"

Which is much kinder than pouring cold water over someone's head. Although I imagine Yingtai considered that once or twice.

Three wonderful years passed, and during those years, Yingtai discovered something rather unexpected. She had fallen in love with Shanbo.

Oh, she liked him very much indeed. She loved his kindness, his gentle smile, and the way he always listened when she spoke. But there was one little difficulty.

Shanbo still thought she was a boy! And Yingtai wasn't quite sure how to tell him otherwise.

Eighteen Hints and One Very Confused Scholar

At last, the day came when Yingtai had to return home. Shanbo was terribly sad to see his best friend leave.

"I'll walk with you part of the way," he said.

And so the two friends set off together. Yingtai decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to help Shanbo discover her secret.

As they passed a pond, they saw two ducks swimming together.

"Look!" said Yingtai. "A lovely pair! Just like a husband and wife."

Shanbo nodded. "Yes, very nice ducks."

Yingtai sighed. A little farther along, they saw two butterflies dancing above the flowers.

"Look, Shanbo! Those butterflies make such a lovely couple."

"Indeed," he replied. "And what beautiful wings!"

Oh, that boy! He could understand the most difficult books in the school, but he couldn't understand a hint if it landed on his nose and did a little dance.

Yingtai tried again and again. In the old story, she gave him eighteen hints during their journey. Eighteen!

My goodness, children, even your father usually understands what I mean by the third hint. Well... the fourth, perhaps.

At last, Yingtai had another idea.

"Shanbo," she said, "I have a younger sister at home. She's very much like me. Would you consider marrying her?"

Shanbo smiled. "If she's as kind and clever as you, I'd be delighted!"

Yingtai's heart leaped. "Then come visit my family soon!"

"I promise," said Shanbo.

And with that, the two friends said goodbye.

The Secret Revealed

Some time later, Shanbo traveled to Yingtai's home. He was eager to meet his friend's family and, of course, the mysterious younger sister.

But when he arrived, something astonishing happened. A beautiful young woman came out to greet him.

She smiled. "Welcome, Shanbo."

He stared. There was something very familiar about her voice, her eyes, and that mischievous little smile.

"Yingtai?"

She laughed. "Yes, Shanbo. It's me!"

He blinked. Then he blinked again.

"But... but..."

Oh dear. For once, the clever scholar couldn't find a single word.

Yingtai explained everything. She had dressed as a boy so she could attend school. She had been his friend all those years, and she had hoped he would discover her secret on their journey home.

Suddenly Shanbo remembered the ducks, the butterflies, and all those hints.

"Eighteen!" he exclaimed.

Yingtai laughed. "Yes, eighteen!"

And at last, Shanbo understood something else. The person he loved most in the world was standing right in front of him.

He loved Yingtai, and Yingtai loved him. For one wonderful moment, everything seemed perfect.

But sometimes, my little ones, even the loveliest stories must pass through a little sadness before they reach their ending.

A Promise That Couldn't Be Broken

You see, while Yingtai had been away at school, her parents had promised that she would marry a young man from another family.

In those days, parents often arranged marriages for their children. And once such a promise had been made, it was very difficult to change.

Yingtai begged her parents to let her marry Shanbo instead, and Shanbo pleaded too. Still, the answer was no.

The two young people were heartbroken. They had spent three happy years together, and now, just when they had discovered their love, they were being told they must say goodbye.

Shanbo returned home. He tried to continue his studies and his work, but he missed Yingtai terribly. He grew ill, and though the doctors did everything they could, he never recovered.

One quiet day, Shanbo died.

Now, my darlings, I know that's sad. Sometimes old stories contain sorrow because the people who first told them knew that life wasn't always fair.

But this story isn't finished. Not even close. For something extraordinary was about to happen.

The Wedding Procession

When Yingtai learned that Shanbo had died, she wept. She remembered their long walks, their happy school days, and the eighteen hints that her dear, absent-minded friend had completely misunderstood.

Then the day arrived when she was to marry the man her parents had chosen. Yingtai dressed in a beautiful red wedding gown, and her hair was decorated with flowers and golden ornaments.

Outside, the wedding procession waited with musicians, lanterns, and a magnificent bridal carriage. But Yingtai made one request.

"On the way to my wedding, I wish to visit Shanbo's grave."

Her family agreed, and so the procession set off. The sun shone brightly and the birds sang, but as they approached the place where Shanbo was buried, the sky began to darken.

The wind stirred the trees, and the musicians stopped playing. Yingtai stepped down from her carriage and walked slowly toward the grave.

"Oh, Shanbo," she whispered, "if only we could be together."

She knelt beside the grave and wept. And then something remarkable happened.

The earth began to tremble. A gentle rumbling rose from beneath the ground, and the grave opened. From within came a beautiful golden light.

Yingtai looked up in wonder. She wasn't frightened. She knew, somehow, that Shanbo was waiting for her.

So she stepped into the light, and the earth closed gently behind her.

For a moment, everything was still. Then, from the place where the grave had opened, two butterflies appeared.

One had wings of shimmering gold. The other had wings of soft blue and white. They fluttered into the sunshine and circled each other, once, then twice, before rising together into the warm spring air.

And everyone watching understood.

Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai had become butterflies.

Two Butterflies in the Spring

Oh, what a wonderful thing it must have been to see! The butterflies danced above the flowers, drifted over the willow trees, and flew across the little streams and meadows where the two friends had once walked together.

No one could tell them where to go, whom to love, or when they must say goodbye. Together they flew into the blue sky, their wings shining in the sunlight.

Some say they traveled all the way back to the school where they first became friends. Others say they returned to the little pond where Yingtai had pointed out the two ducks.

And perhaps, just perhaps, Shanbo finally understood what she'd been trying to tell him. Although knowing that young man, he might have needed one more hint.

Now, my little butterflies, people in China have told this story for hundreds of years. They've sung it in operas, written it in books, and played it on beautiful musical instruments.

And whenever two butterflies flutter together above a garden, someone might smile and say, "Look! There go Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai."

Perhaps they're visiting old friends, exploring a new meadow, or simply enjoying the sunshine, happy to be together.

And now, my two little loves, it's time for you to close your eyes. Imagine a beautiful garden filled with peach blossoms, a warm breeze carrying the scent of flowers, and two butterflies dancing together in the golden evening light.

One flutters this way. The other flutters that way. Then they find each other again.

Because that's what love does, my darlings. It brings us together. And the loveliest thing about love is that the more we give, the more there is to share.

Now, no more wriggling, no more whispering, and absolutely no turning into butterflies and flying out the window tonight. At least not until morning.

Good night, my little loves.

Sweet dreams.

We visited an abandoned Los Angeles hospital that has been transformed into an emotional journey featuring 80 playful and thought-provoking art installations.

This weekend, I visited LA’s new Hospital of Emotions, and it was easily one of the weirdest but coolest immersive experiences I’ve been to.

The exhibition has taken over the abandoned St. Vincent Medical Center near Downtown Los Angeles, which originally opened in 1856 and closed in 2020. Instead of doctors and patients, its four floors are now filled with 80 different art installations created by 70 different artists.

Every room represents a different feeling or human experience, including fear, grief, trauma, hope and healing. Some spaces are bright, colorful and playful, while others are dark and unsettling, but that unpredictability is what makes exploring the hospital so fun.

You never really know what you’re going to find when you walk to the next door. One room may feel like a dreamy photo opportunity, while the next makes you stop and think about something much deeper.

I also loved that the building still feels like a real abandoned hospital. Walking through the original hallways, patient rooms and medical spaces makes the artwork feel even more surreal and slightly creepy.

With 80 installations to explore, there is so much to see, and everyone will probably connect with something different. The Hospital of Emotions was unlike anything else I’ve experienced in LA and it is definitely something to check off your bucket list for anyone who loves immersive art.

Fitting dance into my daily routine was difficult, even arduous, but it taught me more about myself, American society and women, than I could ever have expected.

Tom Kagy (00:01.592)

About 16 years ago, for Father's Day, our two young adult daughters gave me a voucher for a series of lessons at a local Arthur Murray dance studio. I can say without reservation that this gift was the most impactful I've ever received. By then my life had settled into a routine that

Revolved around our business, the family, my daily runs and workouts, with a pattern broken up only by a few trips each year. The notion of introducing dance into my life was completely random and unexpected. It never occurred to me that I could bring myself to spare the time and energy to fit anything else into a life that was.

Very full and satisfying. But a gift from our kids is sacred, and it had to be not only used but thoroughly enjoyed. So it was with some determination and a vague sense of unease that one evening I took my wife to our first introductory lesson. Unease because it seemed unnatural to do something so utterly frivolous and selfish.

When we could perhaps be doing more for our business or resting up for the next day's exertions.

For our first private lesson, our instructor, a charming young woman from Toronto, as I recall, made a few suggestions as to the style of dance we might enjoy learning. We quickly settled on cha cha. It had been the standard dance among Asian kids when we were at UCLA. So we knew the basic steps. Over the course of our next few lessons.

Tom Kagy (02:06.677)

Matched some of my favorite songs, as well as many of the days pop songs, but its building as the official dance of the state of California, which had evolved in the late 50s as a dance of drunken servicemen, had its own appeal. West Coast Swing was said to have a casual, relaxed style that didn't involve the kind of

pretension or preening that I associated with Latin dances.

That's a hard dance, our instructor told me. When I asked how long it would take for me to get good at it, she said casually. About five years. That seemed far fetched to me. How difficult could it be to master a few steps and patterns? I told myself that I could probably master it in a year or two. Fortunately, Mondays were west coast swing nights at the borderline with an instructor named Cliff.

This was a decade before the tragic mass shooting that forced the borderline to shut down. For that decade the place became a regular fix of my life, the way the team club was when I was in junior high school and high school, especially after I added Thursday country nights to my weekly dance schedule. Trying to work a new activity like dance into a busy schedule is difficult.

Tom Kagy (04:14.173)

Most of all, she simply didn't find it pleasant to be dancing with strangers. So dance became a solitary discipline for me. Over the years I've done other demanding activities on my own, like climbing tall rugged mountains like Whitney, Rainier, Pikes Peak, or running several marathons. Those are hard. But the difference is that the ordeal is

Of those activities only lasted seventeen or eighteen hours of climbing or trekking or four hours in a marathon. Dance though was a far more persistent ordeal, especially once you mastered the basic steps in the context of orderly group lessons and found yourself venturing into the high seas of actual social dance with real partners.

Every one of whom posed different challenges. And yet, for all the sweat and emotional turmoil of trying to become a competent and confident dancer who wasn't writhing inside with insecurity, it ultimately taught me important things about myself, first of all. Then also about American society, and of course, about the entire other gender.

In a subtle but important way, dancing changed me. That's all the time I have today, but I will be sharing what I learned from what I estimate to be my nineteen thousand dances over the years.

After more than 30 years in Hollywood, Brenda Song has evolved from a beloved Disney Channel star into an award-winning actress and emerging sports commentator.

If you grew up watching Disney Channel, Brenda Song will probably always be London Tipton, from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, but behind one of Disney’s most iconic characters is a Thai and Hmong American actress who has spent more than 30 years building her dream career.

She was born in Carmichael, California, in 1988. Her parents were working class immigrants who were born in Thailand and worked hard to preserve Hmong culture after settling in the United States. Song’s career began after a modeling school approached her mother at a shopping mall, leading Song to become obsessed with performing. Her grandmother who was working as a hotel maid withdrew $527 from her savings to enroll Song in acting classes, which eventually would be one of her best investments.

Song was modeling and appearing in commercials at just five years old. Her mother would often drive her from Sacramento to Los Angeles for auditions and in 1999, she booked the role of Sariffa Chung in Nickelodeon’s 100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd, allowing the two to move to LA, while her father stayed in NorCal. After appearing in several Disney projects, Brenda Song earned the Young Artist Award in 2001 for her performance in The Ultimate Christmas Present.

When she was 16, Song was met with a life-changing decision. She was accepted into Harvard and was offered a role in Disney’s The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Song chose acting and became famous as London Tipton, appearing across The Suite Life franchise from 2005 to 2011. Her character was especially meaningful for young Asian viewers because she was not written as the stereotypical Asian role, but rather confident and fashionable.

In 2006 Song also starred in Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior, which was seen by more than 5.7 million viewers during its premiere, cementing it as one of the top rated Disney Channel Original Movies of the 2000s.

More recently, Song was cast alongside Pamela Anderson in The Last Showgirl and Netflix’s basketball comedy, Running Point. This was a dream project for Song as she grew up loving Los Angeles sports and has openly emphasized that one of her biggest career goals is to appear on SportsCenter.

In 2026, she accomplished that goal by providing commentary during the NFL’s Super Bowl LX Celebrity Flag Football Game, then later made her Rams broadcasting debut as a guest color analyst during a preseason game against the New Orleans Saints. Rather than just appearing as a celebrity guest, she surprised sports fans with her knowledge and enthusiasm for football.

Song will continue to play Ali Lee in Running Point, which was just renewed for a third season and outside of work, she shares two sons with her partner and fellow former child actor Macaulay Culkin.

After decades of expanding her portfolio from child actor and award-winning performer to mother and emerging sports commentator, Brenda Song is still showing audiences entirely new sides of herself.

Asia’s “garden prisons” show how wealth and influence can create privilege, even behind bars.

In the United States, the thought of prison brings us images of concrete walls and crowded cells, but in parts of Asia, some inmates have served their sentences in facilities with private bathrooms and VIP meals.  

Across the Pacific, certain prisons have become known as “garden prisons” because their facilities appear far more comfortable than the cells most people associate with incarceration. However, these names can be misleading because some were deliberately created for powerful political figures and wealthy inmates. 

A famous example is Qincheng Prison, located outside Beijing, China. Built with Soviet assistance and opened in 1960, Qincheng is the country’s only prison operated directly by the Ministry of Public Security. The prison is surrounded by orchards, farmland and mountains and has housed some of China’s most powerful disgraced leaders.

While Qincheng is still a maximum-security prison, former inmates have described intense surveillance and mistreatment, but reporting by the Associated Press found that its most privileged sections have historically offered carpeted floors, sofa beds, private bathrooms, hot water and meals comparable to the ones served to government ministers. 

Indonesia’s Sukamiskin Prison is located in Bandung and this facility is famous for housing politicians and businesspeople convicted of corruption. Investigations have exposed an alleged system in which wealthy prisoners could purchase larger cells and prohibited amenities.

In 2018, a corruption investigation led authorities to discover cells containing televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, private showers and comfortable furniture. The prison’s warden was also arrested after allegedly accepting bribes in exchange for cell upgrades and other special treatment. 

These prisons expose how social status can survive even after someone is placed behind bars. Qincheng separates members of the political elite from ordinary inmates, while Sukamiskin  allowed money and influence to create a corrupt system inside a supposedly equal institution. The term “garden prison” may sound glamorous, but these facilities reveal something much darker about how justice is served.

Joshua Van’s title defense at UFC 331 and Noah Fifita breaking Arizona’s passing record highlight some of the biggest stories from the weekend.

Joshua Van put any lingering questions about his December title win over Alexandre Pantoja to rest Saturday, defeating the former champion by unanimous decision at UFC 331 in Los Angeles.  All three judges scored the flyweight championship rematch for Van, after December’s meeting resulted in an elbow injury for Pantoja just 26 seconds into the bout.

Noah Fifita became Arizona’s all-time passing leader during the Wildcats’ 42-17 win over Northern Illinois.  The quarterback entered the game needing 306 yards to pass Nick Foles and finished with 325 on 31-of-34 passing, along with four touchdowns.  Fifita has now thrown for over 10,000 yards at Arizona.

Tetairoa McMillan topped 100 receiving yards for the first time this season, catching five passes for 101 yards as Carolina routed Atlanta 34-3.  The Panthers’ offense has scored the second most points in the league.

Jayden Daniels suffered a dislocated left elbow on the final play before halftime in Washington’s 37-20 loss to Dallas.  The Commanders quarterback’s injury is undergoing further evaluation.  Until his status is certain, Marcus Mariota will take over QB1 duties.

Munetaka Murakami hit his 32nd home run of the season against Detroit, amid a difficult September in which Murakami is batting .121, though the White Sox remain in postseason contention with a 96% probability of making the playoffs.

Across town, Seiya Suzuki also snapped a September slump.  Batting below .200 for the month entering Sunday, Suzuki homered for his 25th of the season and recorded his third straight game with a hit.

In soccer, Keito Nakamura scored his first goal for Lyon in his first start since joining the club, helping Lyon beat Anderlecht 2-1 in the Europa League.  Korean star Lee Kang-in scored his second goal for Atlético Madrid in a 2-0 win over Osasuna, while Son Heung-min scored and added an assist in LAFC’s latest match.

Maybe it's how Attack on Titan uses war, perspective and the cycle of hatred to blur the line between hero and villain.

If there’s one thing great art is supposed to do, it’s to make you feel and Attack on Titan makes you feel everything.

The series begins as a story about humanity fighting giant, man-eating Titans. Eren Yeager grows up behind enormous walls, but after a Titan destroys his home and eats his mother, he dedicates his life to killing every Titan and achieving freedom. Then the story completely destroys everything we thought we understood.

The Titans are transformed humans. The people inside the walls are Eldians living on Paradis Island, and an entire civilization exists beyond them. Across the sea, Marley forces Eldians into internment zones and calls them devils, while also recruiting their children to become Titan warriors. Suddenly, it is no longer a story about fighting monsters. It is about inherited hatred and what ordinary people do when they believe they have no other choice.

Reiner is introduced as the traitor who helped destroy Eren’s home., but we later learn that he was an Eldian child brainwashed into believing that attacking Paradis would make him a hero. He discovers that the people inside the walls are not devils, but by then, he has already killed thousands.

Gabi follows the same pattern. We hate her when she kills Sasha, but Gabi is essentially a younger Eren. She watches loved ones die, blames an enemy and becomes consumed by revenge. We only understand Eren more easily because we experienced his trauma first.

The series constantly forces us to question how much good and evil depend on perspective. Almost every character is trying to protect someone and Eren loves his friends so much that he is willing to destroy the world for them.

That leads to the show’s most difficult question: Was Eren wrong?

He begins the Rumbling, sending millions of Colossal Titans across the planet and killing 80 percent of humanity. He knows innocent people will die, but the outside world intends to destroy Paradis, and he refuses to gamble with the lives of everyone he loves.

I believe Eren was wrong because he thought violence would end once there was no enemy left, but the show understands that destroying your enemies does not destroy the idea of an enemy.

Sasha’s father describes hatred as a forest where generation after generation becomes lost. Every character was born into a conflict they did not create, yet inherited its consequences. His message is that someone has to release the hatred, even when they have every reason to hold onto it.

In the end, Mikasa makes the choice Eren cannot. Eren sacrifices the world for the person he loves, while Mikasa sacrifices the person she loves for the world. Eren gives his friends the chance to live and the Titans disappear but generations later, humanity goes to war again. He chased freedom yet never escaped the hatred controlling him.

That is what makes Attack on Titan so powerful. The most frightening thing was never the Titans. It was ordinary human beings and what we can become when we believe there is no other choice.

So yes, I believe Eren was wrong, but if saving everyone I loved required sacrificing the rest of humanity, I wish I could confidently say I would choose differently.

Propelled by historic chart-topping success and an Academy Award win, Audrey Nuna charts an exciting new chapter with her latest solo release.

Korean American singer, songwriter, and rapper Audrey Nuna is continuing to shape the modern pop and hip-hop scene with her August release of the rap track “superHuman,” her first solo work since 2024.

She achieved a massive mainstream breakthrough as the singing voice for the character Mira in the 2025 animated musical film KPop Demon Hunters.  Alongside Ejae and Rei Ami, she recorded the global smash hit “Golden.”  The track topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, won an Oscar for Best Original Song, and won a Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media.  In doing so, “Golden” notably became the first K-pop song to win either an Academy Award or Grammy.

Her expansive solo discography features the 2024 studio album Trench, which includes the lead track “Mine.”  She also teamed up with Deb Never for the 2022 collaborative EP Chump Change, anchored by the song “sardines.”  Her 2021 debut album, A Liquid Breakfast, features the standout single “damn Right” and the track “Comic Sans” with Jack Harlow.

Nuna’s growing catalog and explosive fame following KPop Demon Hunters solidified her booking to perform during the opening ceremony for the 2026 AFC Women’s Asian Cup.

The 27-year-old artist grew up in Manalapan Township, New Jersey and later studied music at New York University.  In 2018, she initially built her early underground following through SoundCloud releases before transitioning into a prominent commercial force.

With “superHuman” establishing an evolved sonic direction, industry speculation suggests another full-length solo album may soon be on the horizon.
