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

Snowy SummerClose Your Eyes
Born from JTBC’s audition program “Project 7,” CLOSE YOUR EYES’s seven-member group delivers a track where a gentle wistfulness melts into breezy freshness.
The sound, evocative of an impossible scene—snow falling in the height of summer—is strikingly memorable.
It’s shimmering dance-pop, yet suffused with a faintly melancholic mood.
It might be singing of the loneliness that suddenly surfaces amid happy summer memories, or the sweet yet bittersweet stirrings of love.
This song is the title track of the mini-album “Snowy Summer,” released in July 2025, and it achieved the remarkable feat of taking first place multiple times on music programs such as Music Bank.
Give it a listen on a summer drive or on a night when you’re in the mood to feel a little sentimental.
