Jooheon, MONSTA X’s main rapper who’s also widely recognized for his production skills, showcases his multifaceted talent not only with the group but as a solo artist as well.

This track, pre-released in December 2025, drew attention for featuring IVE’s Rei.

Serving as a prologue to the following year’s album “Hikari (INSANITY),” it’s rooted in an R&B mood, with a sound that strikingly blends the taut chill of winter and a lingering warmth.

You’re drawn into a world that captures the subtle distances and emotional fluctuations of two people who push each other away yet remain attracted.

Details like the creak of a chair feel strikingly real, creating an immersive sense of being inside the room.

It’s the kind of song you’ll want to savor alone on a quiet night.

365 Days

A deeply moving ballad sung by Lee Changsub, the main vocalist of BTOB.

Released in December 2025, this track is a collaborative piece with the film “Even If This Love Disappears from the World Tonight.” The original song, released by singer Ailee in 2011, is a classic that likens the pain of parting to the passage of time.

It conveys the desperate feeling of wanting to forget but being unable to, and Changsub’s delicate yet powerful voice intertwines with the lyrics’ worldview to striking effect.

The arrangement is emotionally crafted to mirror the film’s story, making it an irresistible choice for those who want to linger in the afterglow of the narrative.

As the cold deepens, it’s also a song that gently stays by your side when you want to quietly heal your heart.

The song carries a message about closing the distance at the pace the other person desires, conveying a mature ease and kindness without being pushy.

After his 2024 full album CALL BACK, his refined expressiveness is even more impressive.

Within the cool sound, his vocals radiate warmth—and that contrast is just unbeatable.

It’s a must-listen for night drives or for adults looking to spend a relaxed, unhurried time.

Blending an analog, wintry-night sentiment with a modern pop sound, it wraps the listener in warmth.

It’s lovely how it reflects on time gone by while carrying a message about taking a new step forward.

MJ’s gentle, conversational vocals are especially striking, giving the sense that a frozen heart is slowly thawing.
