Jannabi, the indie rock band that captivates many fans with their retro sound.

Known widely thanks to their 2019 hit, they released a cheerful track on their digital single “Summer Vacation Edition” in July 2025.

The song’s theme is “laughter and healing,” offering a warm, playful atmosphere that feels like being invited to a sunlit comedy club.

Its nostalgic, ’90s‑tinged sound has the power to turn everyday little worries into laughter.

Reportedly, this work was created as a side story that complements the world of the album “Sound of Music Pt.

1.” It’s perfect as background music when you want to lift your spirits—and highly recommended for summer drives, too.

Jinan, known as the main vocalist of iKON.

This is one of the double title tracks from his first full-length album “207,” released in July 2025.

It portrays a thrilling push-and-pull that captivates the other person and takes hold deep within their heart.

Over a heavy 808 bass and dark soundscape, Jinan’s lustrous mid-to-low register intertwines with his beautiful falsetto, drawing you in.

In sharp contrast to the breezy mood of the other title track, “We Can’t Explain,” this song showcases the breadth of his artistry.

How about giving it a listen on a night when you want to fully immerse yourself in his cool, sexy world?

Somi, a former member of I.O.I who now captivates as a solo artist with overwhelming charisma.

This track is the title song from her EP “Chaotic & Confused,” released in August 2025.

Dubbed a “Stutter House” sound, its reimagining of Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls” is uniquely inventive! While exuding a sensual, intense vibe, it’s crafted into modern house music.

The lyrics portray an earnest longing—wanting to get closer yet feeling emotionally confused—and once again showcase Somi’s expressive power.

The hypnotic, repeated hook is incredibly cool, making the song highly addictive.

It also feels like the perfect track to get lost in while walking through the city at night, which is part of its charm.

You can practically picture him charging ahead with confidence and passion, like a hunter pursuing his prey.

The track blends dazzling synths with a funky groove reminiscent of classic stars, creating a sound that’s theatrical and luxurious.

A city pop-style dance number with a nostalgic sound reminiscent of a summer twilight, it’s effortlessly pleasant to the ear.

This piece was released in August of the same year by KiliKiii, a group that debuted in March 2025, and their experimental musicality has been drawing attention.

The track fuses city pop and retro synth-pop in a contemporary way.

Its lyrics portray dancing alone not as a symbol of loneliness, but as a positive act that celebrates freedom and the precious bonds with friends—there’s something quietly empowering about that.

It feels like the perfect song for nights when you want to bask in summer memories or when you’re in a slightly sentimental mood.

멸종위기사랑LEE CHANHYUK

이찬혁 (LEE CHANHYUK) – ‘멸종위기사랑’ M/V

Lee Chan-hyuk, the creator behind the music of sibling duo AKMU.

Having confronted the profound theme of “death” in his 2022 solo work ERROR, he returned with a track included on his second album EROS, released in July 2025.

This piece questions the value of love—a precious thing on the verge of extinction—as if it were something endangered.

Blending a nostalgic 1960s pop sound with majestic, gospel-like choral arrangements, it paints a sweeping sonic landscape.

It’s a song that helps you rediscover the essential emotions we tend to lose sight of in everyday life.

Recommended for nights when you want to mull things over while savoring the meaning of the lyrics.

Immerse yourself in Lee Chan-hyuk’s worldview, which consistently brings us deeply philosophical music.

Their first Japanese-language song brings a refreshing twist with Afrobeat that overturns their previous image.

The lyrics shine with sparkling confidence, declaring, “I’m making myself the star—no one else.” Set for release in July 2025, the track also serves as the theme song for Kao’s haircare brand MEMEME.

Let the supple groove carry you, and even your heart will feel lighter.
