She`s BackINFINITE

She`s Back_PV

An upbeat tune that’s also one of INFINITE’s early classics.

The soaring high notes feel great! It’s got a catchy ring that makes you want to hum along, boosting that sense of openness.

It really amps up summer with the vibe of eagerly waiting to spend time with someone you love and the excitement of fun times on the way! Just like in the music video, try playing it by the seaside or on a drive—make it your hot summer companion.

Save MEBTS

BTS (방탄소년단) ‘Save ME’ Official MV

BTS is a hip-hop group that has been active since 2013.

Their mellow vocals are wonderful, and they’re especially overwhelmingly popular among women, aren’t they? While the song gives a calm and beautiful impression, the build-up before the chorus follows a classic dance-music structure that gradually ramps up the energy, making you want to start dancing as you listen.

The mic relay that showcases each member’s individuality is a must-hear.

LOVE SCENARIOiKON

iKON – ‘사랑을 했다(LOVE SCENARIO)’ M/V

It’s a dance-pop track based on hip-hop and such a classic that people of all ages back home know it.

By the way, they’re a seven-member boy group who debuted under YG Entertainment in 2015.

Among their songs, this one is the definitive hit—when you think of iKON, you think of this.

It captures those feelings of falling in love—painful, frustrating, unforgettable—set to a poppy melody.

Member B.I took part in composing it, and his talent is really impressive.

The title and repeated phrase “사랑을 했다” means “We fell in love,” but it apparently became popular among young people to turn it into parody lyrics like “I was late” or “I overslept” and sing along (lol).

Yes I amMAMAMOO

[MV] 마마무(MAMAMOO) – ‘나로 말할 것 같으면(Yes I am)’

MAMAMOO is a music group with a glittering career that has won numerous music awards.

In Korea, they’re also popular as fashion leaders.

Their 2017 mini-album Purple includes Yes I am, a perfect track for anyone looking for a mood-boosting summer song.

It’s an exotic yet powerful dance tune.

You’ll swoon over their passionate vocals that convey a strong sense of determination.

How about spending your summer with this fiery track as your soundtrack?

RememberA Pink

[MV] Apink(에이핑크) _ Remember(리멤버)

It’s a heart-fluttering summer tune from Apink that you just can’t get enough of.

The looping intro sticks in your ears and won’t let go.

I’ve been to various events myself, and this song is special because it brings those memories back.

Watching the music video, you can really feel the members’ unchanging bond and friendship—it’s truly moving.

Try playing it as the BGM for summer days with your chingu, too.

It’ll make the hot summer feel cooler and color your time with unforgettable moments.

It’s a 2015 track from Pink MEMORY, but it hasn’t faded a bit with time.
