BLOOD SOIL is the 2nd full album of the Angelico co-ed group Pushing Daises released on November 1st, 2023 alongside their short film by the same name. The album consists of 11 tracks with "Catch me" and "Frostbite" being the title tracks. The group promoted the album for two months, ending promotions with 750,000 copies sold worldwide and 8 music show trophies between the two songs.

The album is entirely self-composed, written, and produced by the members of Pushing Daisies, citing to have very little help from outside forces with this album. A majority of their creative direction for this comeback was under their leader, Zasha, who wrote and directed their short film as well.

Pushing Daisies were styled by Nakyung who drew inspiration from dollcore and the southern gothic aesthetic. Nakyung also did their hair and makeup, which were heavily influenced by dolls and horror movies.

OO1. Biggest moment for them this era was when the Blood Soil short film was aired at the Sundance Film Festivle. Blood Soil would go on to win "Short Film Grand Jury Prize" making them the first Angelico Artist to take home an American based film award. Their reaction to winning the award would go viral as all the members looked stunned and confused, looking around like a mistake had been made before going to accept their award.

OO2. They brought back their beloved reality series "BEYOND THE GRAVE" and ran for ten episodes. The members went on various adventures throughout the show's run such as getting locked in an escape room together, visiting famous haunted locations around the world, undergoing a test to discover if they have any supernatural abilities or sensitivities, gathering around a campfire or in a dimly lit room to share their own ghost stories or paranormal experiences, spending a night at a reputedly haunted hotel, watching their favorite horror movies together, and many more freaky adventures wherever Angelico decided to send the group.

OO3. The group kept their social media activeee during this era! Zasha went live on their YouTube channel where she went over her entire creative process behind Blood Soil and shared personal anecdotes and inspirations behind the lyrics of the album. She read excerpts from her personal diary during this live, showing drawings and sketches of the characters and outfits she envisioned for this project. It was very insightful and intimate experience for fans.

OO4. Nakyung and Elliot were the most promoted members, as usual, the pair becoming Inkigayo MCees which fans ate up. They would go viral for interacting with groups they used to be a part of or were almost a part of. A picture of Nakyung smiling brightly while Sena of Venus side eyes her was a big hit amongst Mysies who know how to take a joke unlike constellations, who didn't find it funny. While introducing STARZIE, Elliot would make a joke about almost being in the lineup, saying: "Here's the group I was rigged out of, Starzie!" And while the members were able to take the joke, Elliot would have to apologize to netizens on his Instagram story later that night.

OO5. That wasn't the only scandal that hit the group this comeback! Yeojun would be spotted leaving a club with Lunarix member Evie, causing a frenzy online and disputes between the group's fanbases. Angelico would swiftly release a statement but would avoid discussing the relationship status of the idols, only addressing that the club they went to was a reputable club and neither one of them engaged in "inappropriate activities". Still, both Yeojun and Evie would release apologies, stating they were close friends and were just hanging out. After this, Yeojun would be notably quiet for the rest of the promotions.

OO6. The group would get matching tattoos towards the end of the promotions, vlogging the whole experience and even sharing the design on their social media for fans to get the same design if they wanted to. The design was a simple daisy with a single falling petal. Many netizens saw this move as inappropriate as it "promoted getting tattoos" to their "young and impressional" fanbase. The group didn't address this stirr through Zasha would post a selfie with her tattoo on her story with the caption "get jobs" which many fans found hilarious.

ཐ🪦 ᜴ ִ ׂ 𓂂 AMERICAN TEENAGER . . . NAM NAKYUNG SOLO RELEASE !

NAM NAKYUNG has made her long-awaited SOLO DEBUT! Debuting with an EP titled "White Picket Fences" she is the first Pushing Daises member to have her official solo debut. The self-written EP contains a unique and compelling blend of dreamy atmospheres, raw emotion, and introspective lyrics that captivate and transport listeners into her world.

With all the songs being in English, Nakyung only performed four special stages on The Show and Inkigayo. She did perform mini-concerts throughout Korea and in the United States.

001. AMERICAN TEENAGER, "American Teenager" is a haunting melody that paints a poignant picture of youth in America. Nakyung wrote the song herself, reflecting on her and her brothers' youth in America. "I thought about my older brother while writing the song. He spent the most time in America and he was kinda a troublemaker when he was a teenager. He's so American." Nakyung would go on to tell fans. The music video was filmed by Nakyung and her bandmate Elliot Son on an old video camera they bought off eBay. "I didn't want anything high budget. I just wanted to make music and have fun with my friends." The friends featured are mainly from her group, Pushing Daisies, and Chloe Zhao of her former group, Venus.

002. CRUSH, "Crush" is a dreamy and melancholic masterpiece, painting a poetic picture of unrequited love and longing. With haunting synths and delicate guitar melodies, the song immerses the listener in a dreamlike world of yearning and heartbreak. Produced by ELL.i AKA Elliot Son, Nakyung's close friend and groupmate, who also helped with writing the song. The music video was also shot on an old video camera but only starred Nakyung and Elliot, sparking dating rumors between the two. "We're very close so we always get dating rumors. We just don't pay attention to them anymore," Nakyung explains about the pair's relationship.

003. NINE TO FIVE, "The"Nine to Five"'s lyrics speak to the struggles of trying to let go of a past love, with Nakyung singing of the heart-wrenching memories that come flooding back during her work shift. The poetic imagery of the song captures the weight of regret and the fear of never truly moving on. Nine to Five doesn't have a music video but many were impressed by Nakyung's vocals via videos of her performing the song on her mini tours. "I used to allow myself to stay stuck in horrible memories," Nakyung explains, "I was so scared of staying stuck in the past, stuck on a person, and I poured that into this song."

004. PLEASE LEAVE ME, In "Please Leave Me," the lyrics offer a poetic contemplation of the unforgiving nature of the world and the people in it, as she sings about the tough decisions and sacrifices that are necessary for survival. The song's haunting melody and atmospheric production convey a feeling of introspection and vulnerability. Nakyung doesn't like to talk about "Please Leave Me" as she deems it too personal for her to talk about. We only know that the song was written and produced by Nakyung and Chloe Zhao.

CRITICAL RECEPTION of "White Picket Fences" was extremely positive by music critics. The EP received at solid score of 84 on Metacritic with one critic writing: "This EP is an absolute gem and showcases some serious artistry and musicianship that is hard to come by in a new artist. Each of the four tracks on this EP is a masterpiece in its own right."

Many were stunned by the inclusion of Chloe Zhao, a friend turned rival turned friend again. Though the addition of Zhao on the album definitely benefited the EP, many Nakyung fans were opposed to Chloe's mere presence on the EP seemingly holding a longer grudge than Nakyung.
