LUN8 is a boy group under Fantagio that debuted in June 2023.

As the first group the agency has launched since ASTRO, after a seven-year gap, they have drawn significant attention.

The work released here in August 2025 serves as the lead track for their first Japanese album, Elevation.

It’s an uptempo number that conveys the group’s bold stance, fusing sharp rap and catchy melodies over a hip-hop-inspired track.

The lyrics express the unity and exhilaration of these “rule-breaking comrades,” and the structure—sure to ignite a live crowd—is another highlight.

Give it a listen when you want to boost your mood with an energetic sound.

BIGBANG, the K-pop group that was most active in the 2010s.

In terms of popularity, BTS may be on top, but when it comes to their aura and the addictive quality of their music, BIGBANG unquestionably holds the position of K-pop kings.

Among their tracks, the one that garnered the most popularity is “FANTASTIC BABY.” It’s a song where each member’s individuality stands out, and the whole piece is crafted to be irresistibly upbeat.

MAMAMOO often comes up first as a powerhouse girl group.

Their music leans toward hip-hop and R&B, and each member is active as a solo artist as well.

Dingga is one of their signature songs, released in 2020.

It has a distinctly disco feel, and compared to their other tracks, it places a strong emphasis on vocals.

While the vocal range can vary significantly between parts, no single phrase requires complex pitch shifts, so you should be able to sing it well by making good use of dropping an octave where needed.

Geeshōjo jidai

Girls’ Generation, the group that directly sparked Japan’s K-pop boom.

Their dances showcasing their long, slender legs were incredibly captivating, weren’t they? While each member is now active on her own stage, the group’s popularity back then was tremendous.

Among their works, the song I especially recommend is “Gee.” It’s a track marked by a cute, poppy sound; it’s not exactly flashy, but overall it comes together as an irresistibly catchy tune.

I AM THE BEST2NE1

I AM THE BEST2NE1

When it comes to the most popular female K-pop group right now, TWICE comes to mind, but in the 2010s, 2NE1 enjoyed a fervent following.

While K-pop groups are generally known for catchy, stylish sounds, 2NE1—like BIGBANG—excelled at flashy, hard-hitting dance numbers.

Their track “I AM THE BEST” is a dance tune that showcases their signature style to the fullest.

Definitely give it a listen.

WA DA DAKep1er

Kep1er – WA DA DA (Japanese ver.) / THE FIRST TAKE
WA DA DAKep1er

A seven-member girls’ group, Kep1er.

They were originally formed as a project group active for only two and a half years, but due to their overwhelming popularity, they are still active today.

Their hit number “WA DA DA” is a prime example.

Released in 2022, it spans a slightly wide vocal range of mid1 F# to hi D#, but since the pitch movement is relatively gentle, it’s overall an easy song to sing.

It’s got an excellent groove, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Its chorus is highly addictive, and the song’s stylish, upbeat vibe makes it a joy to listen to.
