Irresistible Replays: Upbeat K-POP Tracks That Lift Your Mood (31–40)
OMGNewJeans
“OMG” is a song by the multinational K-pop group NewJeans, a bouncy, upbeat number with an energetic tempo and catchy melodies.
Its beautiful, romantic worldview and other elements make it a joy to experience.
The group’s lineup is also notably international—three Korean members, one Korean Australian, and one Vietnamese Australian—delivering fresh performances made possible by their multicultural makeup.
NewJeans’ “OMG” also has a highly engaging music video, so why not check it out alongside the track?
Billyeoon Goyangi (Do the Dance)ILLIT
ILLIT has been on a roll since their 2024 debut.
This track is the lead single from their third mini-album “bomb,” released in June 2025.
Its dreamy sound—reportedly sampled from the 1989 anime film The Five Star Stories—really stands out.
The theme is unique, depicting a protagonist who’s so nervous on a first date that they’re spaced out, like a “borrowed cat.” Even so, the invitation to “dance together” and have fun blends with ILLIT’s signature magical-girl worldview, gently comforting a heart that might shy away.
It’s a song that gives you the courage to enjoy yourself as you are.
TTTwice
When it comes to the most popular female K-pop groups right now, I think TWICE is the first name that comes to mind.
While many recent K-pop groups tend to go for more provocative performances, TWICE continues to gain popularity with a classic, mainstream style.
Their songs often have a cute vibe, and their track “TT” is a striking example of that.
If you like songs that balance catchy energy with cuteness, be sure to check it out.
5, 4, 3 (Pretty woman) (feat. Lay Bankz)CxM (SEVENTEEN)
CxM is a subunit born from SEVENTEEN’s Hip-Hop Team, consisting of S.Coups and Mingyu.
This is the lead track from their debut mini-album “HYPE VIBES,” released in September 2025.
Inspired by Roy Orbison’s classic from 1964, it’s an ambitious work that fuses a funky guitar riff with contemporary beats.
Featuring American rapper Ray Banks, the song delivers a groovy hip-hop sound.
The music video, shot in Los Angeles, bursts with sun-soaked, party-ready vibes, offering a breezy, summertime feel.
The track earned its first music show win on KBS’s Music Bank, and it’s perfect for lifting your mood or hitting the road.
Beat-BoxerNEXZ
NEXZ is a global boy group born from an audition show by JYP Entertainment and Sony Music.
The title track of their 3rd mini album “NALLINA,” released in October 2025, is a powerful number that likens the members to boxers who fight with their beats as weapons.
Using heartbeats and punches as metaphors, it expresses confidence and fighting spirit, with sound effects reminiscent of round calls and a rap-driven structure that leave a strong impression.
From the teaser directed by leader Tomoya to choreography devised by the members themselves, their hands-on creative input drew attention.
They also achieved a personal best with over 330,000 first-week sales, and it’s a track guaranteed to fire up the crowd live!
[Repeat Guaranteed] Upbeat K-POP Tracks That Lift Your Mood (41–50)
House PartyVVUP
VVUP, a girl group under EgoENT, released a digital single in October 2025 as a pre-release track for their first mini-album coming in November.
Built around house beats and synth sounds, the song carries a celebratory message inspired by Korean oni (demons): forget real-life worries and just dance.
The music video—where traditional hanok architecture intersects with neon—and the choreography centered on shuffle dance are also striking.
As the group’s fifth release since their April 2024 debut, the track redefines the appeal of the multinational members, including Kim from Indonesia and Pen from Thailand.
In October, they held their first showcase since debut and appeared on music programs day after day.
On YouTube, the video quickly surpassed 10 million views and trended, especially across Southeast Asia.
With a danceable beat and approachable melody, it’s the perfect song to lift your mood.
Kitschive
IVE is a six-member girl group from Korea.
With hits like ‘LOVE DIVE’ and ‘After LIKE,’ they’ve released many catchy songs.
Their track ‘Kitsch’ is exceptionally addictive, especially in the chorus where the title is repeated.
Another highlight is that the non-chorus sections differ between the first and second halves, so you won’t get bored.
The brighter, poppier vocal melody contrasts with the hook in the chorus, which drops suddenly—the more you listen, the more it grows on you.
