This song was part of the soundtrack for the drama “Cinderella and Four Knights.” The drama is about a poor female student who helps reform some hopeless chaebol heirs, and this very cute song fits it perfectly.

Sungjae, one of the members, appeared on the show “We Got Married” as Red Velvet’s Joy’s partner.

WHEN I MOVEKARA

If you’re looking for a dance track that makes you want to move your body, I recommend “WHEN I MOVE.” It’s KARA’s comeback release, marking their return to activity for their 15th anniversary.

The song expresses the members’ feelings and resolve leading up to their return, which longtime fans will likely find especially moving.

That said, it’s an overall high-energy dance number that anyone can enjoy, even if you’re not familiar with the group.

Be sure to check out the music video too—the intense choreography has been a hot topic.

QWER ‘고민중독’ Official MV
T.B.HQWER

A song by the four-member Korean girl band QWER.

It’s the title track of their first mini-album, “MANITO,” released in April 2024.

An uptempo rock number with a J-pop flavor, it conveys the anxiety and hesitation of expressing one’s feelings directly, all set to a catchy melody.

The lively drum and bass rhythms intertwine exquisitely with the guitar sound, stirring the listener’s emotions.

The repeated phrase “I like you” leaves a strong impression, emphasizing single-minded affection.

It’s a track we especially recommend to teenage and twenty-something women navigating the ups and downs of love.
