A slew of standout releases means that fall is off to a good start in K-pop. Here’s are the old and new tracks that have us hooked:
“Change Up” – Seventeen
Seventeen’s leaders S.Coups, Woozi and Hoshi have teamed up and brought the best of each SVT sub-unit in “Change Up.”
“Nonfiction” – K.Will
If you love K-dramas but don’t have time to watch 16 episodes, watch this K.Will video instead. With a bittersweet love story and emotionally-charged vocals, “Nonfiction” will get the waterworks started.
“Last Night Story” – IU
The slayer of Korean music charts is here to continue the carnage. IU’s crystal-clear singing combines with a fun, art-house video in this quirky, slowed-down reimagining of “Last Night Story.”
“Girl Front” – LOONA/ODD EYE CIRCLE
LOONA continues their sub-unit project with Odd Eye Circle and “Girl Front,” an electro-pop song that flirts with the line between modern and nostalgic.
“Don’t Let Me Go” – SHINee
This romantic pop ballad by K-pop powerhouse SHINee is perfect for a rainy day, and sounds even better when sung live.
