Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard’s wifeLE SSERAFIM

LE SSERAFIM (르세라핌) ‘이브, 프시케 그리고 푸른 수염의 아내’ OFFICIAL M/V

A track included on their first full album, UNFORGIVEN.

The beat and choreography are quintessentially LE SSERAFIM and super cool! While LE SSERAFIM is known for their bold, powerful style, this song seems to depict a more introspective mindset, as if they’re facing themselves.

It also feels like it portrays the dilemma of moving between the idol persona and their true selves.

I hear the English lines in the intro were written by Yunjin.

It’s a song packed with their appeal—an unwavering inner strength that goes beyond the typical “girl crush.”

Aespa, the girl group now leading SM Entertainment, released this as the title track of their fourth mini album in November 2023.

It’s a hip-hop dance number that showcases aespa’s signature bold approach.

Alongside a touch of romance, the lyrics resonate with high relatability as they push past limits.

The repeated, addictive sentence endings also leave a strong impression.

Beyond the robust groove, the soaring high tones and supple smoothness make it an easy listen.

The powerful performance and the message of creating one’s own story are truly inspiring.

WHY?Tōhōshinki

TVXQ! 동방신기 ‘왜 (Keep Your Head Down)’ MV

TVXQ can be called the pioneers who ignited K-POP’s popularity in Japan.

They debuted as a five-member group, but after a two-year hiatus due to issues between the agency and some members, they returned as a duo with this song.

Many listeners probably thought, after hearing it, that TVXQ are incredible even without five members.

Yunho’s dance and Changmin’s soaring high notes strongly affirm that TVXQ are still very much alive and well.

BOYTREASURE

TREASURE – ‘BOY’ M/V

They debuted in January 2020 as a 12-member idol group through the boy group survival program “YG Treasure Box.” The chorus of this song combines an EDM-style beat that’s perfect for dancing, giving it a distinct vibe from previous boy groups.

Also, the dance practice video isn’t shot with a fixed camera; a cameraman films it properly, conveying the effort put into the music video as well.

It’s a track that raises expectations for them to become a global dance group following BTS!
