Courtesy of Woolim Entertainment By Lee Gyu-lee K-pop boy group DRIPPIN is ready to heat up the summer charts with its new single “Weekend,” about four months after it hit its own career-best with the fourth single “Beautiful MAZE,” which sold over 130,000 copies in the first week of its release this April.
