SS501 is the group led by Kim Hyun-joong, the star of the popular Korean drama “Playful Kiss.” They made their Japan debut in 2007 with the single “Kokoro.” Unfortunately, they are currently on an indefinite hiatus.
It’s a real shame, given how cool the members are and how high the quality of their songs is.
Love LanguageTXT

A dance track that blends Afro house rhythms with an enchanting melody.
Released in Japan in May 2025 as a digital single by TXT, the piece showcases the group’s evolving artistry.
TXT, a five-member boy group that debuted in March 2019, has risen as a young act under HYBE.
For this release, member Hueningkai contributed to the lyrics.
Their silky, vocal-group polish and groove-rich new sound come together to deliver a striking sense of growth.
The music video, filmed in Spain, features the members’ distinctive performances set against beautiful scenery such as coastlines and gardens.
Centered on the theme of expressing love, it’s a song that makes your face start dancing the moment you hear it.
PanicBEOMGYU

Beomgyu, who is also active as a member of the boy group TOMORROW X TOGETHER, has released his solo work.
Set to a warm, emotive rock sound, this heartfelt mixtape portrays loneliness and inner conflict, with Beomgyu himself taking part in writing and composing to deliver a deeply committed piece.
His collaboration with singer-songwriter Heo Hwe-kyoung adds further depth to the music.
It’s a work that gives you the courage to take a step forward when you feel stuck in front of life’s obstacles.
Showcasing Beomgyu’s rich expressiveness and musicality to the fullest, this release is a warm, supportive anthem that gently accompanies you, no matter your lifestyle.
Salty & Sweetaespa

Included on the third mini-album “MY WORLD,” released on May 8, 2023.
It’s a dance track with a deep, signature aespa vibe, built around synthesizers and bass sounds.
The lyrics seem to depict the push and pull of romance and the feeling of becoming captivated.
The title, too, evokes styles like sweet-and-salty or tsundere.
