‘WAVE’ By ATEEZ

Known for their super intense, hard-hitting anthems, ‘Wave’ is a bit of an odd-one-out in ATEEZ’s discography. That doesn’t stop it from being an absolute bop, however! Plus, who can resist that “Hakuna Matata” reference?

‘Alcohol Free’ By TWICE

It’s only right to add ‘Alcohol Free’ to your K-Pop summer playlist right after ATEEZ, considering that Mingi is the song’s biggest fan. If you ever feel any winter blues settle in, put this music video on, and all those blues will turn sunshine yellow.

‘Our Summer’ By TOMORROW X TOGETHER

The clue is in the title for this one! Taken from their debut mini album way back in Spring 2019, ‘Our Summer’ is a favorite with TXT’s fans, MOA. The nostalgia-ridden track closed out every show of the ACT: SWEET MIRAGE tour, and is the perfect finale for your summer nights too.

And from ATEEZ’s Mingi stanning ‘Alcohol Free,’ we come to TXT’s Soobin stanning STAYC’s ‘ASAP.’ And he’s right to do so; the iconic choreo and bright energy is perfect for summer! In the heat, we need one of the icee slushies from the music video ‘ASAP.’ See what we did there?

‘Cinema’ By CIX

CIX might seem like a bit of a curveball in this list, as the group are more known for their super slick performances, and a cooler, edgier vibe. However, the brightness and joy in ‘Cinema’ cannot be overstated. In our humble opinion, this song is the epitome of sunshine.
