aespa - Dirty Work

Another hit for aespa. They (and their team) are on a roll. I love this sound.

BEATPELLA HOUSE - Freaky Monday

Beatpella was born in 2020 in South Korea, as a duo: – Yella.E (lead singer, rapper) – Hiss (beatboxer, producer) Their name is a contraction of “Beat” (for beatbox) and “a cappella”, which perfectly sums up their concept: fusing the vocal virtuosity of beatbox with the melodic power of vocals, without any instruments. They made a name for themselves by releasing covers of popular tracks, such as…

fromis_9 - LIKE YOU BETTER

Summer track, not bad but still pretty weak. They can do WAY better.

WONHO - Better Than Me

NSync would be proud. But meh. 😛

Balming Tiger (feat. ATARASHII GAKKO!) - Narani Narani

I didn’t see this collaboration coming, and I love it. It’s super weird, as it should be with these two groups around. 😀

ILLIT - Do the Dance

Cute, but probably their weakest single…

[asiavibes]

ALLDAY PROJECT - FAMOUS

Co-ed group from YG / Black Label. It’s overhyped, like every YG thing has been for years. The fans are brainless. Suddenly, they don’t care about talent or the fact that a nepobaby is in the group, probably replacing a more talented girl who doesn’t have money. 🤷‍♂️

Hearts2Hearts - STYLE

Debut track was WAY better. SM played it too safe here.

[asiavibes]

Another banger. Enjoy.

ITZY - Girls Will Be Girls

Looking for a girl anthem? They’ve got you covered. And honestly, it’s actually fun to listen to—preferably very loudly in the car.

LE SSERAFIM - DIFFERENT

It’s a safe Japanese comeback for the girls. Not bad at all, but after last year’s bangers, my expectations are sky-high for every new release.

aespa - Dirty Work (Performance Video)

aespa is gearing up for a NICE summer release. This teaser is already better than most of the stuff we had to endure in 2025.

UAU - Sacrifice (Performance Video)

What’s left of Dreamcatcher have taken their music in a different direction. Not really my cup of tea, but honestly, if it works for them, I’m happy. They deserve all the love and success they can get.

Lexie Liu - FFFFF

My favorite indie Chinese artist delivers again—and clearly blew her budget on this MV.

VVS - D.I.M.M

I have no energy for nugu groups that might not survive the winter. So let’s see what an LLM can do… VVS is one of K-pop’s freshest girl groups, debuting under the agency MZMC Inc. (yes, that’s the company founded by longtime K-pop songwriter and producer Paul Thompson). Their lineup is international: Brittney, Ilee, Rana, Jiu, Liwon, and new member Lena. Their first mini-album, “D.I.M.M.”…

CHANMINA - WORK HARD

Okay, not her best track, but dare I say… efficient?

KARDI - Not But Disco

KARDI drops another great track—just to prove they’re the most underrated Korean group around, I guess… I wish the promotion was better for these geniuses. They make awesome music and slick MVs, all on a shoestring budget. Respect. If you’re into this, check out the rest by clicking the tag at the end of the post. Kim Yeji is incredible, but honestly, they all are. Don’t miss out.
