GeeGirls’ Generation (Shōjo Jidai)
Girls’ Generation made a huge splash with their 2022 comeback after five years away.
They’re the legendary girl group that’s indispensable when talking about K-pop.
The song that propelled them to top-star status, “Gee,” is a fun track featuring a hook with repeatedly echoed phrases.
It sparked a boom back then, including in Japan, and years later in 2021 it went viral on TikTok, ranking third in song shares.
Its irresistible, dance-inspiring vibe—perfect for cover dances—and its catchy melody make it easy for anyone to enjoy, which is part of its major appeal.

Following “Dynamite,” BTS’s massive hit “Butter” captivated the world.
Its glittering vibe, full of exhilaration and star power, completely draws you in.
The song shattered records across the board—from multiple Billboard No.
1s to YouTube milestones—and has also been widely loved on TikTok in countless posts.
In 2021, it ranked 7th among officially most-played songs on TikTok.
Beyond its pop appeal that everyone can dance to, the members’ sleek coolness is absolutely top-tier!

BLACKPINK is a girl group that has gained popularity with a cool, hip-hop-inspired musical style reminiscent of the former 2NE1.
They’re a globally watched group, and their songs are frequently used on platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Pink Venom.
This song is one of their most hip-hop-forward works, and every verse boasts outstanding swagger and style.
HolssiIU
“Holssi,” included on the EP “The Winning” released in 2024 by IU, a singer-songwriter based in South Korea, showcases her multifaceted artistry.
In this song, which likens herself to a seed, she sings about freedom and self-actualization, expressing a determination to trust her own path and move forward even in the face of hardship.
Within an electropop-rock track, IU’s strong will and ambition—rendered through her inner landscapes—come to life, offering listeners courage and hope.
IU’s music is widely recognized, to the point that even those who aren’t music fans have likely heard it at least once, and “Holssi” conveys her drive to reach even greater heights.
This track is especially recommended for those striving for self-realization or those who tend to lose sight of themselves.
CupidFIFTY FIFTY
Despite being from a small agency, the idol group FIFTY FIFTY has drawn global attention for the high quality of their music.
Known for a trend-savvy sound, they’ve already left behind many standout tracks despite their relatively short career.
Among them, Cupid is one of their most popular songs.
Its hook, which comes in right from the start, is striking, and its chill, catchy, and laid-back dance-pop vibe has been widely used as BGM for short videos.
Love LeeAKMU (Akdong Musician)
Released in August 2023, this is the fourth single from AKMU, a bona fide duo of real-life siblings who enjoy overwhelming popularity in Korea.
Known as masters of recorded music, AKMU seem poised for another long-running hit with this track.
The title is a play on “Lovely” and their surname “Lee.” While it’s unexpectedly dance-pop in style, the unmistakably catchy AKMU melodic lines throughout are reassuring.
The song overflows with the sweet side of a love song; beyond the overall vibe, the quirky lyrics are adorable too.
The chorus features an easy-to-enjoy dance with just the right laid-back feel—friendly and effortlessly charming.
It brims with a free-spirited allure.
