After a long wait by fans, ZEROBASEONE returns with the song "Top 5". The song has a modern R&B color, combined with smooth melodies and delicate harmony. Not too ostentatious, the song is still strong enough to make a mark thanks to the balance between emotion and popularity.
In another approach, LE SSERAFIM brings the song "Boompala" with Latin pop inspiration. The use of the familiar melody from "Macarena" helps the song quickly create a feeling of closeness. The cheerful rhythm and natural performance of the members make the song an ideal choice for summer.
BTS attracted attention with the song "2.0", a product with strong electronic and hip-hop influences. The thick bass and flexible transitions between rap and singing create a different color, helping the song maintain its appeal throughout.
Closing the list is ILLIT's song "It's me". The song pursues a modern techno style with a fast and constantly changing tempo. The combination of sweet melodies and electronic climaxes creates a new musical experience, reflecting the youthful spirit of the new generation of K-pop idols.
