Addictive K-POP Special (41–50)
Love LeeAKMU (Akdong Musician)
The sibling duo AKMU, consisting of Lee Chanhyuk and Lee Suhyun, released “Love Lee” in 2023.
The song has become a global sensation through TikTok dance and choreography videos.
It features a pop melody highlighted by soft, airy synth tones.
The chorus, articulated one character at a time, lingers in the ear and matches the title, which cleverly combines a word expressing affection with their family name.
This is K-pop full of charm, including their engaging male–female twin-vocal style that feels like a conversation.
TIPI-TAPKep1er
Kep1er’s first release as a seven-member group.
It features catchy melodies and an uplifting rhythm, as if capturing the feelings of a girl in love.
The title track from their sixth mini-album “TIPI-TAP,” released in November 2024, stands out with its hyper-pop sound.
The lyrics portray the excitement and flutter of falling in love throughout, showcasing a new side of Kep1er.
It’s a must-listen not only for fans but also for anyone interested in K-pop.
Perfect for when you want to feel the thrill of love or boost your energy.
JIKJINTREASURE
TREASURE, formed with members selected from the Korean survival show “YG Treasure Box.” Among their songs, the most addictive is “JIKJIN.” It portrays moments when passionate feelings for someone spill over, unfolding phrases that mean “go straight ahead” over a heavy dance beat.
Also pay attention to the sensual vocals that highlight each member’s singing ability, etched into the hip-hop–style track.
It’s a number that builds the heat, especially with the accelerating passion in the latter half’s dance break.
BBoom BBoommomoland
MOMOLAND is a girl group that draws attention with their focus on addictive music.
They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend for getting the crowd going at karaoke—and that’s also easy to sing—is “BBoom BBoom,” released in 2018.
It’s an upbeat track, but the vocal range is set quite narrowly at mid2 A# to hi D#, and the rap parts have a simple flow, making it incredibly easy to sing relative to how hyped it gets.
RODEOmomoland
After debuting through a survival show, MOMOLAND scored a massive hit with “BBoom BBoom.” They announced their return to activities in April 2025, and this is their full-group comeback track released in September of the same year.
The song is a high-velocity dance-pop number that boldly incorporates UK garage and slap house.
Its heavy drop and buoyant beat are paired with an irresistibly catchy chant, evoking the power of riding out a wild rodeo.
The work feels like a declaration heralding a new beginning for the group—back stronger and more mature after their hiatus.
With lyrics that portray the courage to face challenges, it’s sure to stir the hearts of listeners.
WANNABEITZY
ITZY is a girl group that has gained popularity for their music focused on self-affirmation and woman power.
Their style embodies female strength, so they have many female fans and are popular in Japan as well.
Their song “WANNABE,” released in 2020, is one of the easier tracks to sing among their catalog.
The vocal range is mid A# to high E, which is quite narrow for a female vocal song, and overall it features a strong rap-oriented character, making it generally a very singable track.
Since there’s room to lower the key, if it feels high, don’t hesitate to drop it.
Licoriceaespa
An addictive track that captures the sweet-and-sour taste of love.
It’s included on “Armageddon,” the album released in May 2024 by the popular Korean girl group aespa.
The lyrics, which sing about emotions that are sweet and tangy like licorice candy, are memorable, and the highly addictive sound blends a pop melody with dance beats.
The song depicts a roller-coaster-like experience of romance, letting you feel the flutter and excitement of falling in love.
The music video, featuring the members as heroes battling monsters in a fantastical storyline, also drew attention.
It’s a recommended track for anyone who wants to experience the thrill of romance.
