2024 was another year filled with amazing K-Pop releases.
The wait was absolutely worth it.
“I just wanna chill.

There’s no stress…
They hate to love me, love to hate me.”
Cosmic is a truly stunning song.

Ive replayed it dozens of times this year, and it’s just as good every time.
Each artist brings a unique flair, but their voices blend beautifully together to create something truly magical.
The lyrics are poignant, reflecting on the season with a mix of hope and bittersweet nostalgia.

It feels like a warm hug on a cold winter day.
It’s definitely a song that can get you moving at any time of the day.
And that subtlety is precisely its greatest strength.

Thats one reason I chose “Pinball.”
But Karina’s solo song undoubtedly ranks among my top tracks.
One phrase to describe Karina’s UP?

It’s such a vibe.
It consistently gets me grooving along every time.
The songs dreamy atmosphere is complemented by powerful vocal performances, creating a deeply emotional and immersive listening experience.

Jia-Lin: RIIZE - “Impossible”
I absolutely love “Impossible”!
The choreography is also amazing, perfectly complementing the song’s intensity and groove.
RIIZE really delivered with this one!

Minsoo-Kim: aespa - “Whiplash”
Aespas confident voices awaken the energy within me.
They satisfy all the musical genres that female idols under SM have rarely ventured into.
Their latest track, Whiplash, embraces the house beat genre.
Listening to it while working out might just help you lift 120% of your usual weight.
The two vocalists got their A-game to the song and made something really genuine.
I loved their harmonization.
When they sang it live together, it was like cherry on top.
The only complaint is that the song was too short.
Taeyang & Daesung)" is an absolute hit and a heartfelt gift to VIPs.
It gives us a glimpse of how future BIGBANG songs will sound like, and its absolutely beautiful.
The song evokes nostalgia while showcasing the incredible chemistry between three members of the legendary boy band.
KG: G2 - “Ride With Me”
This Korean-American rapper from Texas is an incredible talent.
I’ve been a huge fan since his days under the now-defunct Hi-Lite Records in Korea.
His latest release is pure hip-hop excellence and absolutely deserves more recognition!
Xdinary Heroes proves that they are not done exploring different genres but also remain resolute in their roots.
Alec06: Rose x Bruno Mars - “APT.”
It’s the catchiest and best song of 2024 in my opinion.
I love songs that fit any occasion, and HAONs Skrr is truly a track for all seasons.
It also showed her talent beyond her role as a K-pop artist.
