I’ll be waiting for you at Platform Nine and Three-QuartersTXT

Debuting in 2019 and launching activities in Japan in 2020, they appeared on Music Station.
This is a track included on TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s Japanese debut single “MAGICHOUR,” a group you can’t take your eyes off right now.
You’ll be captivated by the polished melodies and the somehow addictive lyrics and vocals.
Its charm lies in the diversity that feels like it embraces various genres.
BOOMBAYAHBLACKPINK

This is BLACKPINK’s 2016 debut song, and they’re now global superstars.
The unique rhythm and sound make it so fun you can’t help but hum along.
The “Oppa!” is just too cute.
A super cool girl-crush vibe! Be sure to check out the impressive rap and dance skills of Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rosé.
CHEER UPTwice

TWICE’s “CHEER UP” is the hit song that rapidly boosted their popularity.
It charmingly portrays the struggles of love and the feelings of women, and was released in 2016 as the lead single from their mini-album “Page Two.” The melody is catchy and upbeat, and the cute lines sung by Sana are beloved by many.
Because it lifts listeners’ spirits, it’s also a great pick when you want to start your day on a positive note.
It’s visually fun as well—the music video is a must-see.
Be sure to check out this work that showcases TWICE’s charm to the fullest.
EnergeticWanna One

Wanna One, formed by the 11 winners of the audition program PRODUCE 101 Season 2, debuted in August 2017.
Their popularity was astonishing; it felt like their arrival dramatically reshaped the K-pop idol rankings.
They were a limited-time group active until the end of 2018, which felt like such a waste.
This song is a fan-favorite chosen by their fanclub, Wannable, and is the lead track from their debut album 1X1=1.
Since the members were selected by fan voting, they’re idols who receive an extraordinary amount of love from their fans.
MANSAESEVENTEEN

SEVENTEEN is an idol group that has worked on numerous Korean drama OSTs.
They’re known for delivering technically skilled performances, from vocals to dance.
“만세 (MANSAE),” which evokes the image of a vibrant school life, was included on their 2015 mini album BOYS BE.
It’s a funky track featuring rhythmic guitars and bright synth tones.
Their light and cool vocals are soothing as well.
It’s a refreshing song that I’d recommend even to those who’ve hardly ever listened to K-pop.
