K-POP Masterpieces & Best Hits Collection [Latest & Classic Popular Songs + Editor’s Select] (141–150)
ALL FOR YOUILLIT

ILLIT, the girl group whose huge hit “Magnetic” is still fresh in our minds.
This piece, released in December 2025, serves as the campaign song for Megastudy Education’s “2027 MEGAPASS.” It’s a gentle, warm pop ballad that stays close to the hearts of students in the long battle of entrance exams.
The lyrics, inspired by the handwriting verification phrase used during tests, really resonate, and ILLIT’s crystal-clear vocals will help soothe anxious feelings.
The fact that all proceeds from the track are being donated to the youth-focused BTF Purunnam Foundation also adds to its credibility as a song of encouragement.
Give it a listen when you’re tired of studying or need a nudge forward.
Their pure message is sure to give strength to those who are doing their best.
DUETZICO, Lilas (Ikuta Rira)

This talked-about release teams up Zico—renowned as both a rapper and producer—and Lila Ikuta, one of Japan’s leading singer-songwriters.
Dropped in December 2025, the collaboration single also drew attention for its comical dance in the music video.
Riding a dazzling track that fuses hip-hop and pop to perfection, their rap and vocals playfully trade lines like a real conversation.
As their voices blend beyond borders and language barriers, just listening makes your heart lift.
It sparked a huge reaction, including a performance on the year-end Music Station SUPER LIVE 2025.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for an uplifting duet.
EVERYDAYWINNER

This is the title track from the 2018 album EVERYDAY.
The song topped not only Korean music shows but also reached No.
1 on iTunes in 18 countries! WINNER is a quintessential YG Entertainment group, with members who actively participate in songwriting and embody an artist-driven spirit.
Their charm lies especially in crafting chill tracks.
They may look relaxed, but their cool, effortless performances actually hide how challenging the songs are to sing—the members’ skill is truly impressive.
Can You Feel ItPENTAGON

A unit that debuted in 2016 and has been releasing one hit after another.
Their danceable tracks overflow with wild energy—pay special attention to the rap part by Yuto, a Japanese member from Nagano Prefecture! You’ll also be moved by the powerful vocals of Jinho, the oldest member who worked as a vocal trainer at their agency before debut, and the leader Hui.
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.
