K-pop Masterpieces & Best Hits Collection [Latest & Classic Popular Songs + Editor’s Select] (131–140)
2YA2YAO!SUPER JUNIOR
A hip-hop tune that portrays the “current” SUPER JUNIOR.
With Block B’s Zico handling the lyrics and composition, it’s an instant mood booster! Even from the lyrics, you can feel how cool they are—despite their long career, they keep running forward and chasing the cutting edge.
It’s the title track of TIMELESS, the repackage of the album Time_Slip.
GANGNAM STYLEPSY
“GANGNAM STYLE,” released in 2012 by the globally popular rapper PSY, became a sensation thanks to its music video on YouTube, generating massive buzz both in Korea and abroad.
The track is a dance tune grounded in electronica.
Its title, Gangnam, comes from the name of a real district, and the song carries a message laced with irony toward the lifestyle of the wealthy.
With its unique vocals and choreography, the famous hook is something even people who don’t usually listen to K-pop have likely heard at least once.
Be sure to give this quintessential Korean dance number a listen.
Bite MeENHYPEN
The title track from their 4th mini album “DARK BLOOD,” released on May 22, 2023.
In contrast to their previous, energy-packed lead singles, this one stands out with a strikingly stylish vibe—and even hints at something classical.
Heeseung took part in recording direction, while Ni-ki contributed to the choreography.
Framed by a dark, Dracula-inspired concept, the song sings of fate and exudes ENHYPEN’s signature elegant allure.
Ni-ki’s sultriness is off the charts…
BBoom BBoommomoland
MOMOLAND is a nine-member girl group that debuted in South Korea in 2016.
Their January 2018 release “BBoom BBoom” became a massive hit in Korea.
It feels like a cute song about the push-and-pull of a girl’s romance.
The choreography is a bit different from other idols’—it’s adorably dorky.
And before you know it, you’ll be hitting repeat; they’re a highly addictive group.
Part of what makes them so fun is the huge popularity of member JooE, who’s also adorably dorky (not the classic beauty type)… but dances her heart out and has a blast.
When you’re feeling down, MOMOLAND is highly recommended!
신속히MONSTAX
They’re a seven-member boy group that debuted in 2015.
The name MONSTA X carries the meaning of “a monster that will dominate the K-pop scene,” and they’re often called MonX for short.
The song “신속히 (RUSH)” basically means “right away” in Japanese—so it’s essentially an alpha-style track saying, “Hurry up and come to me.” But it’s so cool that you can’t help but rush over immediately (lol).
Hey Mama!EXO-CBX
It’s a unit made up of Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin from EXO.
They’re called CBX, taking the initials of the members’ names.
Their songs are both cute and cool in a way that’s so characteristic of the three of them.
The tempo is great and makes you want to listen on repeat.
Within the group, Xiumin is the oldest, but he has a cuteness that can make him seem like the youngest.
ELEVENive
Ive, who drew major attention even before their debut, burst onto the scene in December 2021.
Their debut song “ELEVEN” portrays the sparkling feeling that comes with falling in love.
It radiates a dazzling brightness that hints at their future shine.
The way the song opens up brightly in the latter half is another point to watch.
With Ryan Jhun participating in the track, its level of polish is guaranteed.
And with Yujin and Wonyoung as members, there’s a glamorous touch that evokes IZ*ONE’s colors in places, while the oriental mood and a level of expression and performance that you wouldn’t expect from a rookie group are seriously cool!
