Addictively Catchy K-POP Special (31–40)
Pretty SavageBLACKPINK
BLACKPINK is a girl group that could be called the flagship of YG.
While retaining an idol-like appeal, they place importance on a gritty image, and their stylish musicality is highly regarded not only in Korea but also in Japan and the English-speaking world.
Their 2020 release, Pretty Savage, embodies this approach.
The track has a strong hip-hop character, with the vocal lines unfolding as an extension of rap flow throughout.
As a result, the range is narrow and there are no complex melodic leaps, so once you’re comfortable with rapping, it’s relatively easy to sing.
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.
TempoEXO
EXO debuted simultaneously in South Korea and China in 2014, and then made their Japanese debut in 2015.
Their “Tempo” is the lead track from their fifth album, DON’T MESS UP MY TEMPO, released in 2018.
The flow from the catchy vocal melodies into the powerful hook never gets old no matter how many times you listen! The mid-song break where it’s just the vocals also feels very fresh and really sticks in your head.
It’s a thrilling song with rapid-fire shifts, and once you get hooked, there’s no getting out!
Super Lady(G)I-DLE
The title track of (G)I-DLE’s album “2” puts women’s strength front and center.
Released in January 2024, it racked up over 1.8 million pre-orders, the highest in the group’s history.
The music video, featuring the confident members bathed in colorful lighting, also drew attention.
The repeated phrase “Super Lady” and the empowering lyrics resonate deeply.
Paired with EDM elements, the track delivers (G)I-DLE’s signature addictive sound.
It’s a perfect pick when you want to move forward with confidence.
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.
