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!
LATATA(G)I-DLE
Since their debut in 2018, (G)I-DLE have continued to make a striking impact on the K-pop scene.
Once you hear it, you’ll never forget the chorus phrase.
Their debut track has a Latin flair with a hint of seductive allure.
The leader, Soyeon, took part in writing and composing the song! It’s highly addictive, so be sure to listen a lot and enjoy it.
Queencard(G)I-DLE
Released in May 2023 as the title track of their 6th mini album “I feel,” this song has become a huge hit, with its music video surpassing 100 million views.
True to (G)I-DLE, who consistently deliver bold, cutting-edge tracks among 4th-generation girl groups, it’s a rock-tinged number.
It evokes the vibe of one of their signature songs, “TOMBOY.” Alongside its powerful beat, the strong message of self-affirmation—loving yourself just as you are—really hits home.
An irresistibly catchy, uplifting track that gives you courage!
Spicyaespa
Among 4th-generation girl groups, aespa has tended to release heavier title tracks.
This is the lead track from their 3rd mini-album “MY WORLD,” released on May 8, 2023, and it gives one of the freshest impressions within aespa’s discography.
The concept shifts from a metaverse-inspired worldview back to the real world.
The lyrics carry a positive, empowering message, and the song brims with lively high school-in-America vibes that lift your spirits.
At the same time, you can still feel the deep bass and the edgy, cool style that’s quintessentially aespa.
