Addictively Catchy K-POP Special (31–40)
Tick-TackILLIT
A song by the five-member Korean girl group ILLIT that captures the complex emotions of teenagers.
It’s included on their second mini-album, “I’LL LIKE YOU,” released in October 2024.
The lyrics, which focus on the wavering feelings of love and the struggle for self-expression, leave a strong impression.
Unique expressions appear throughout, such as depicting the inner heart as a hectic cabinet.
Paired with a refreshing sound that feels like a snapshot of youth, the track resonates deeply with listeners.
Also noteworthy are the face-covering hand dance that hints at a trend on social media and the addictive rhythm that mimics the ticking of a clock.
LOVE SCENARIOiKON
iKON is a boy group that showcases a wide musical range, from poignant heartbreak songs to tracks aimed at appealing to teens.
Their music is characterized by melodies rooted in hip-hop, and that distinctive style is clearly reflected in “LOVE SCENARIO.” Although this song features falsetto, the pitch movement within each phrase is relatively gentle, so it isn’t particularly difficult to sing.
If you adjust the key to make the falsetto easier, most men in their teens and twenties should be able to sing it without trouble.
It’s a crowd-pleaser with women, making it a great choice for livening up a group date.
Sweet VenomENHYPEN
The title track from their fifth mini album, ORANGE BLOOD, released in November 2023.
It’s a refined pop sound that’s been on the rise even for title tracks in recent years.
While ENHYPEN is often associated with wild dance numbers, a song like this suits them perfectly too! The light, stylish choreography exudes a sweet, refreshing vibe, and the song becomes subtly more addictive as it progresses toward the latter half.
Member Jay participated in writing the lyrics, which depict the depths of an intoxicating love, and the sexy performance is captivating.
NEMONEMOYENA
The title track of Korean artist YENA’s third single album, released in September 2024, is creating a buzz.
Set to an electro-pop sound, it uses the motif of a “square” to express the complexities of love.
While depicting the challenges of modern communication, it also sings about cherishing one another.
YENA’s bright and cute personality shines through, and combined with the up-tempo vibe, it’s the kind of song that will lift your spirits.
Highly recommended when you need a boost! It’s a track packed with the charm of YENA, who is also known as a former member of IZ*ONE.
Fact CheckNCT 127
This is the self-titled lead track from NCT 127’s fifth full-length album, released in October 2023.
It embodies a reaffirmation of NCT 127’s cutting-edge appeal and identity, and the promotions have centered around Seoul as a theme—making it fun to listen while connecting it with the city’s unique charm.
The lyrics seem to align perfectly with their style of breaking existing conventions.
The intense rhythm leaves a distinctly NCT 127–style addictive imprint on your ears! Personally, my highlight is the second half of the chorus where the low and high vocals intertwine.
The well-balanced sense of speed and the smooth, stylish rap feel great and are guaranteed to lift your mood!
