K-POP Masterpieces & Best Hits Collection [Latest & Timeless Popular Songs + Editor’s Select] (201–210)
BANG!AFTER SCHOOL

An idol group like the Korean version of AKB or Morning Musume.
Members leave not by quitting but by “graduating,” and new ones join as, for example, After School nth-generation members.
They appear like a marching band, which sets them apart amid the flood of Korean idol groups and has earned them popularity.
WAVEive

IVE’s Japanese debut single, following their 2021 debut, has energized the K-pop scene with an overwhelming sense of scale.
Even among IVE’s works, this track pushes a strong style while subtly exuding the glamorous flair of their home country—truly a one-of-a-kind song.
The melody repeats over the same rhythm throughout, overlapping with a laid-back, at-your-own-pace mood.
The more you listen, the more it might hook you.
Be sure to pair it with the cool, stylish music video.
It shares a similar vibe with “I AM,” yet leaves a distinctly different impression.
April showerSEVENTEEN

A medium-tempo track included on the mini album “FML,” which at the time broke the all-time first-week sales record in K-pop.
It perfectly suits the spring season, with a buoyant rhythm that puts a spring in your step.
The chorus in particular is irresistibly singable.
Even in moments that seem shadowed at first glance, it becomes a source that blooms beautifully.
It’s a warm song that makes you feel that way.
Beyond the song itself, the members’ calm, gentle expressions in the special video are absolutely wonderful, so please enjoy it together with that as well.
Whatta ManI.O.I

This was a project girl group formed by 11 finalists from the audition show PRODUCE 101, active for a limited time from 2016 to 2017.
While they’re often associated with a cute image, this particular song is a cool track that showcases the members with strong vocal ability.
It gives off the vibe of a cool, slightly standoffish girl with a bit of an attitude.
The members’ great figures also really stand out.
Released in 2016 as their second single, the song emphasizes that they’re more than just cute.
FightingBSS

The 13-member boy group SEVENTEEN includes a three-member unit called BSS (BooSeokSoon), made up of Hoshi, DK, and Seungkwan.
Their track “Fighting (feat.
Lee Young Ji)” features powerful, motivational lyrics that cheer on anyone giving their best—just like the title suggests.
The song also features Lee Young Ji, who became the first female rapper to win the popular Korean show High School Rapper 3.
Her rap, which bursts in during the song’s climactic latter half, delivers a punchy groove that completely flips the mood up to that point and grabs your heart in an instant.
It’s a top recommendation when you want to boost your motivation for studying, work, or anything else.
