ALLDAY PROJECT – ‘LOOK AT ME’ M/V

A new co-ed group bringing a fresh breeze from THE BLACK LABEL, led by TEDDY, has officially kicked off.

ALLDAY PROJECT is a project-based unit consisting of five members—men and women—an unusual lineup for the K-pop mainstream that’s drawing attention.

The group’s defining trait is how each member brings a distinct strength: Woochan, who made his mark as a rapper on Show Me the Money 6; Yeonso, known from the survival show R U Next?; and Bailey, an internationally active dancer, among others.

This track serves as a centerpiece of their 1st EP, ALLDAY PROJECT, released in December 2025.

Its structure stands out with a tight beat and repeated phrases that drive home a provocative message—“look at me, don’t take your eyes off me.” Watching it alongside the performance video highlights the choreography’s synergy even more.

Highly recommended for anyone seeking a new form of K-pop.

ALPHA DRIVE ONE (알파드라이브원) FORMULA PERFORMANCE VIDEO

This is the pre-debut single from ALPHA DRIVE ONE, an eight-member boy group formed through the global audition program “BOYS II PLANET.” Released digitally in December 2025, it drew attention for being premiered on stage at the 2025 MAMA AWARDS even before their official debut.

Crafted by a team of top-tier creators including KENZIE, the track is a dance-pop tune characterized by explosive synths and a surging bassline.

It conveys a message of the eight members, each coming from different paths, uniting as one team to forge their own “official” and charge forward.

The easily repeatable hook and high-velocity arrangement perfectly embody the group’s concept of “swift momentum.” It’s the ideal song to crank up your energy or psych yourself up before taking on a challenge.

PSYCHOBABYMONSTER

BABYMONSTER – ‘PSYCHO’ M/V

An aggressive track from BABYMONSTER, the multinational girl group that debuted from YG Entertainment seven years after BLACKPINK.

It’s included on their album “WE GO UP,” released in October 2025.

The song seamlessly blends multiple genres—hip-hop, dance, and rock—with a powerful low end that drives the entire track.

The catchy hook is seriously addictive.

The music video, released in November of the same year, is a suspenseful piece themed around “nightmares,” delivering a gripping atmosphere where the boundary between dream and reality blurs.

It surpassed 100 million views in just about 14 days after release.

The tense beat and highly addictive melody intertwine, pulling you in more with every listen.

Highly recommended when you want an energetic song to lift your mood or to immerse yourself in an impactful performance!

Baby DONT Cry is the first girl group launched by PSY’s P NATION.

Produced by (G)I-DLE’s Soyeon, they debuted in June 2025.

The four-member lineup includes Kumi and Mia from Japan, and their signature is a unique sound they call “Baby Rock.” This release, which dropped in November 2025, is a track that brilliantly fuses the power of a band sound with a danceable beat, delivering an irresistible rush as the guitars surge to the forefront.

It carries a strong message about not being swayed by others’ opinions and forging your own path, making you feel encouraged every time you listen.

It’s the perfect song for moments when you want to shake off doubt and move forward, or when you’re about to take on something new.
