An exceptionally refreshing and upbeat SEVENTEEN number.

It’s the title track from their 2016 album “LOVE & LETTER.” This song is a real crowd-pleaser—the bursting brass in the chorus and SEVENTEEN’s lively, playful vibe are just the best! It’s perfect for summer, too.

It captures the fluttery excitement and giddy feelings before a date, conveying a sense of pure fun.

Enjoy it together and your spirits will soar—truly an “Aju NICE!” kind of track!

TTTwice

TWICE was formed with members selected through the audition program SIXTEEN.

The song that truly put them on the global media map is TT.

It’s included on TWICEcoaster: LANE 1, released in 2016.

In Japan, the TT dance went viral among teens! Its exotic yet poppy melody has a one-of-a-kind charm.

The fast-unfolding synth sound is another highlight.

Let your body move to the cute, rhythmic flow, and you’ll be captivated by them too!

LOVE SCENARIOiKON

iKON – ‘사랑을 했다(LOVE SCENARIO)’ M/V

iKON is a seven-member boy group that debuted under YG Entertainment in 2015.

Among their songs, this one is the definitive “When you think of iKON, you think of this!” mega-hit—so well-known that people across many generations in Korea recognize it.

The song captures the pain, frustration, and unforgettable feeling of falling in love, all set to a catchy pop melody.

Member B.I took part in the songwriting, and his talent is truly impressive.

The title and oft-repeated phrase “사랑을 했다” means “We fell in love.” It even became a youth trend to parody it by swapping in lines like “I was late” or “I overslept,” and singing it as a playful spoof (lol).

FANTASTIC BABYBIGBANG

BIGBANG, a male artist group that enjoys overwhelming popularity in Japan, including winning the Grand Prix at the 52nd Japan Record Awards, has also made a strong impression with each member’s activities as a solo singer.

One of their signature songs, “FANTASTIC BABY,” was included on the mini-album ALIVE, released in 2012.

It’s a deep electronica track with a driving, danceable beat.

Their flow, unfolding with a somewhat humorous vibe, is effortlessly versatile.

Why not give this iconic K-pop hit—renowned worldwide—a listen?

NewJeans is a girl group that debuted in 2022.

Their debut single is “Ditto.” They’re already earning high praise in the United States and Japan.

The biggest feature of this song is its strangely catchy sound.

In fact, it was produced by blending 1990s club music with elements of modern pop songs.

When you think of it that way, it does feel a bit nostalgic, doesn’t it? Also, be sure to check out the music video where the members appear in school uniforms.
