eightIU
It’s a 2020 track co-composed by IU and BTS’s SUGA.
SUGA handles the rap and piano.
With its friendly melody and tight, satisfying sound, it lifts your mood.
It gives a curious sensation, as if a grounded atmosphere and a floating lightness coexist.
We all want those moments when we can smile, even if only for a little while, right? SUGA’s rap part is truly encouraging, too.
It’s also nice to feel a different vibe from IU than usual.
While facing a harsh reality, it’s a masterpiece that lets you sense a powerful light.
PanoramaIZ*ONE
It’s the lead track from the 2020 mini-album “One-reeler Act IV.” The dance, full of sharp contrasts between supple grace and vibrant energy that ebb and flow alongside its dramatic, intricate melody line, is just incredibly cool! The lyrics, which feel like they capture each fleeting moment, surely carry a message to WIZ*ONE and a meaning as a fan song as well.
It’s an up-tempo tune packed with IZ*ONE’s growth—a hopeful song that seems to guide us toward a shining future.
I CAN’T STOP METwice
Every time they make a comeback, TWICE shows us a brand-new color and style.
This time, they’ve reached a new frontier again! An electro tune that somehow carries a touch of nostalgia.
The lyrics, which portray the feeling of being irresistibly drawn in and losing control, link perfectly with the track produced by J.Y.
Park of JYP and Shim Eun-ji, who has worked on many of TWICE’s songs, making it utterly captivating.
And their overwhelming beauty is just irresistible! “I CAN’T STOP ME” is a hit not only in their home country but worldwide.
TWICE’s evolution won’t stop—and can’t be stopped.
After LIKEive
IVE is a female idol group with the catchphrase “DIVE INTO IVE!” They have also appeared at KCON, a music festival held in Japan that showcases Korean culture.
Their 2022 release “After LIKE” is a dance track filled with bright, poppy sounds.
It’s a great recommendation for K-pop newcomers, as you can savor the distinctive rhyming unique to Korean.
The song portrays living true to one’s feelings.
Why not let their rich choral work and vocals soothe you?

POP!NAYEON
POP!, included on the album IM NAYEON released in 2022 by Nayeon—who is also active as a member of the girl group TWICE—is, just as the title suggests, a catchy track bursting with colorful sounds.
The repeated chorus phrase over a driving beat is seriously addictive.
You can sense a wealth of emotion in her vocals, which showcase a wide range of expressions.
It’s a dance number where you can experience both girlish charm and the allure of a mature woman at the same time.
STAYBLACKPINK
BLACKPINK is a female idol group that captivates the world with the unique radiance each of its four members possesses.
Their contemporary electronica and skillful rap leave a strong impression.
The song I recommend to you today, “STAY,” is included on their 2018 release BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA.
While they’re known for high-energy performances, this track features a warm acoustic sound.
The handclaps marked by a Western-style rhythm are also appealing.
Please give this masterpiece a listen and let yourself be wrapped in their gentle flow.
The FeelsTwice
‘The Feels’ shines with TWICE’s uniquely captivating world.
Released in 2021, it’s a song entirely in English.
A disco track with a striking bass line, its irresistibly catchy chorus becomes addictive after just one listen.
The performance conveys the feeling of playfully aiming straight for the heart of someone who likes you back.
With a globally minded production that’s not only glamorous but also enjoyable with a free-spirited sensibility, it’s a track you can truly have fun with.
The familiar sonics and other elements feel packed with the style they’ve built up over time, and it’s delightful to sense that unmistakably “TWICE” playfulness throughout.
