둘 중에 골라 (Summer or Summer)HYOLYN, DASOM (Hyorin, Dasom)
Summer or Summer is a collaborative number by Hyolyn and Dasom, former members of the queens of summer, SISTAR.
When it comes to their summer songs, they’re an absolute must! The chorus melody, which carries an uplifting feeling over a laid-back yet lively sound, is refreshingly crisp.
Their high vocals feel as pleasant as a sea breeze.
With both Hyolyn and Dasom contributing to the lyrics, the song expresses a liberating, assertive summer attitude as they urge the one they like to “choose one of the two,” giving it a romantic touch as well.
It might even make you think, “It’s all the heat’s fault,” and throw caution to the wind!
Oh NaNa (Hidden. HUR YOUNG JI)KARD

It’s by AIMERS, a boy group that debuted in November 2022 and includes a former member of SPECTRUM.
Released on May 12, 2023 as one of the double title tracks from their 1st single Bubbling, the song features an irresistibly bouncy rhythm—just like its name suggests.

아로하Cool

Also featured on the soundtrack of the drama Hospital Playlist, this song is a love ballad that sings of unending affection for a cherished person.

SEE SEA(바다보러갈래)HYOLYN(효린)
A 2018 track by Hyolyn, who was SISTAR’s main vocalist.
It’s a summer song that caps off her first project after going solo, the three-part consecutive single release “SET UP TIME.” SISTAR gave us so many iconic summer hits, and Hyolyn delivers a summer anthem of her own here! It’s a mature love song that invites someone to take her to the beach—perfect for listening with that romantic vibe.
The slightly fleeting feeling from the intro really hits, too.
Where will this summer romance lead? With its stylish sound, it’s a great pick for a drive.
