THIS MONTH’S NEWS

Whole the jolly season is finally upon us we still want to share some exciting news that November brought to us with you! First of all, when it comes to tours our boys SEVENTEEN wrapped up their RIGHT HERE Tour and we already miss them. The boys played 10 sold-out shows across five cities and brought a ‘Aju Nice’ show to all the US carats. Another tour that wrapped up successfully was NCT Dream’s Europe tour with THE DREAM SHOW 3 : DREAM( )SCAPE. The boys captivated hearts left and right with their vocals and amazing music. We already miss seeing them on stage.

Now, we have some even more exciting news for you. Blackpink’s LISA finally gave us a release date for her highly anticipated solo album Alter Ego. The LP drops on February 28th 2025, yes we know it’s so close yet so far but make sure you pre-order/pre-save the album here. We, honestly, can’t wait to find out what this amazing album will sound like. If Lisa’s recent singles are any indicators of this album’s success then we know we have nothing to worry about Alter Ego, it’s gonna be a good one.

ODD YOUTH

We’re kicking off our November K-Pop hotspot with a brand-new girl group! ODD YOUTH just made their debut with the single album Best Friendz! The two tracks’ Best Friendz’ and ‘THAT’S ME’ are the perfect introduction to these five girls. The music video for ‘Best Friendz’ is so cute and silly, while ‘THAT’S ME’ gives off a confident and relaxed vibe. ODD YOUTH look like they’re having so much fun filming either way.

KEP1ER

It’s Kep1er‘s first comeback as a seven-member group and their biggest chart success yet! TIPI-TAP, with its gloriously fun title track of the same name, hit 147th on the Billboard 200, Kep1er’s first time on the chart! We’re always so proud of our girls, but this era is just hitting different. The music video for’ TIPI-TAP’ is as galactic and refreshing as we’ve come to expect from Kep1er, and the choreography is just as addictive. Kep1er, we’ve got a crush on you, and “The code is L-O-V-E.”

BABYMONSTER

BABYMONSTER is truly making 2024 their year with their first full-length album, DRIP! The ‘DRIP’ title track is a danceable and empowering party anthem. And they ate up the music video, too. Their B-sides are all so high quality, and these girls have definitely impressed us with this album. We’re especially obsessed with the love songs like ‘Love, Maybe,’ ‘Really Like You,’ and ‘Love In My Heart.’

SHINEE MINHO

Can you believe we’re finally here, living in a world where Minho‘s first full album exists?! We’ve literally dreamed of this moment, and somehow, he exceeded our expectations! CALL BACK’s concept is about having the freedom to express your emotions, which is spot on for an idol who has been in the industry for sixteen years but is only releasing his first solo album now. CALL BACK is just so Minho-coded, with smooth, soft vocals and plenty of hip-hop and R&B influences.

SUPER JUNIOR YESUNG

If it’s a Super Junior member, you know we’ll be right here covering it. YESUNG has always drawn our attention with his distinctive voice and impressive talent. And we will never be disappointed by his solo releases. ‘It’s Complicated’ hits so well during the chorus: it’s powerful and impactful. Delivered with YESUNG’s strong vocals, the song is one of our favorites from this month’s fresh drops.

EPEX

EPEX continues to make us emotional with their movie-like sound. We feel like we’re listening to the kind of music used during those epic movie moments, and we’re stunned. ‘UNIVERSE’ gives us just that feeling, and you bet we have been obsessed with it. And when we’re that amazed by the title track, of course, we’d also be looking into the B-sides. You already know we loved the pre-release ‘My Girl.’ If we had to pick another favorite (while challenging), we’d go with ‘Attosecond’ and ‘Loner.’

NCT DOYOUNG

Doyoung is back with his new song, ‘The Story!’ Honestly, he’s been feeding us so well this year. In this song, he sings about how we have a unique story to tell, so we must keep going and not give up. Everything good or bad that comes from our story is ultimately a part of us. You’ll never catch us skipping a Doyoung solo song because his voice is soothing and genuinely makes us feel like the world is in our hands.

HEIZE

We hope that Heize knows how much we love her because her ninth mini-album, FALLIN’, is a masterpiece from start to finish. The title track, ‘FALLIN’,’ is a soft and beautiful song about what it’s like to fall in love and break up as we grow older. It’s so fitting for Heize to release this EP in the fall because it’s the perfect vibe for the season. Our favorite B-sides are ‘Broken diary,’ ‘Dot,’ and ‘Without you.’ FALLIN’ is a THP-certified, no-skips mini-album, and you’re missing out if you don’t take a listen.

VIVIZ

One of this month’s K-Pop comeback highlights is VIVIZ‘s fifth mini-album, VOYAGE! We speak facts only. The title track, ‘Shhh!,’ is a bangin’ song about talking less and being about that action. Mothers slayed the choreography as per usual. And we love seeing their TikTok dance challenges to this song! We didn’t skip through a single track on this EP. If we had to pick our favorite B-sides without listing all of them, they’d be ‘Cliché’ and ‘Full Moon.’

TIOT

TIOT is back; this time, they came to us with something different. ‘Take It Slow’ is a ballad that so beautifully shows the members’ vocals. We know they released this just so we can all better appreciate their musical skills. The focus is on their individual voices, as well as on their harmonization and teamwork. It’s a pretty song that will fit nicely in your winter playlists. We knew we were stanning talent. And we continue to enjoy and appreciate each of their releases.

NCT DREAM

Eleven songs? Did we read that right? NCT DREAM is SO back with their new studio album, DREAMSCAPE! ‘When I’m With You’ is an upbeat title track about how it feels to be around someone you love. We feel like we’re in a dream, watching the music video for ‘When I’m With You’ and listening to the whole album. NCT DREAM members never fail to heal us with their music. These boys work so hard, and we appreciate everything they did to make this album happen. Listen to all eleven songs; you won’t regret it.

LOVELYZ

Lovelyz hit their 10th year since their debut this November, and we were not left without a couple of gifts. From a whole concert that reunited the girls (and got us emotional), we also got a special track to further celebrate this milestone. ‘November’ has the most fitting title and even more fitting atmosphere. We returned to the original sound that Lovelyz first came to us with, so our emotions were all over the place. Hearing something new from the girls made our month complete and our hearts full of joy.

NCT YUTA

NCTzens, we’re up! YUTA’s solo album Depth has officially been released, and it’s been a long time coming! He blesses us with seven songs leaning into the J-Rock genre. This album is one of the best things that has happened to us this year. The title track, ‘Off The Mask,’ shows us an entirely new side to YUTA, and we’re so proud. We got chills watching the music video. It hits harder knowing YUTA contributed to six out of the seven songs on his album.

OMEGA X

OMEGA X is back at it, this time with a Japanese release. The group opted for a ballad with the title’ Power of Love’, and while different from their more powerful Korean releases, it sits just right with us and the colder season. We are seated and swaying to the sounds of the members’ lovely vocals. In addition to the main star of the album To., we can’t stop jamming to ‘TOXIC’ and ‘Cool My Head.’ Overall, OMEGA X knows how to feed us well in one album. To. covers plenty of musical styles: you will, without a doubt, find something that fits your preference.

CLASS:Y

How has it been almost a year since the last CLASS:y comeback? These girls are finally back with their new single album, Love XX! And we’ve missed them on our playlists! The title track, ‘Psycho and Beautiful’ reminds us why we fell in love with this group. The addictive melody, impressive vocals, and killer concept make us want to replay this song indefinitely. The B-side’ Love Game’ is an upbeat dance track that’s just as addictive. Don’t sleep on CLASS:y, y’all!

BIBI

BIBI’S BACK! After releasing the Bam Yang Gang single earlier this year, our queen is back with the Derre single album. The title track, ‘Derre,’ proves that BIBI is for the girls and the girls only! She sings about having an intense girl crush and wanting to win over her heart badly. And we need another part of the music video immediately! Mother also blesses us with the R&B track ‘Burn it’ featuring DEAN! This duo wasn’t in our 2024 bingo cards, but we’re not mad about it. Keep them coming, BIBI!

YOUNHA

When we thought YOUNHA‘s seventh album, Growth Theory, couldn’t get any better, she repackaged it! We welcome the three new additions to Growth Theory: Final Edition: ‘QUASAR,’ ‘Point Nemo,’ and ‘Give it up.’ The music video for the healing title track, ‘Point Nemo,’ brings us straight into a Studio Ghibli-esque animation. And ‘QUASAR’ has a feel-good vibe, while ‘Give it up’ sounds more swingy. We’re so lucky to exist in the same universe as the multi-talented YOUNHA; this album is everything.

MEOVV

MEOVV does a 180 from their debut song with their new single album, TOXIC! These girls tap into their feelings with ‘TOXIC,’ a song about not being able to let go of a toxic lover. Their vocals are so versatile, and we love the more mellow sound of this track. ‘BODY’ does another 180 on this single and switches back to MEOVV’s upbeat and confident sound. Their rap verses ate, period.

TAEYEON

Did we expect anything less than perfection from Queen Taeyeon? Of course not! ‘Letter To Myself’ is our new freeing anthem. Ever thought about writing a letter to your younger self? What would you say? Taeyeon gave us the perfect example through her music, making us fall into deep thoughts. Yep, we’re reminiscing about how we were as kids and teenagers, how we have changed through the years, and how we got to where we are. The line “I’m done being used” hits particularly hard. If we need a reminder not to be afraid of being ourselves, this is it. We know we’ll be streaming this one for quite some time, and we recommend that everyone listen.

BADVILLAIN

Next in our November K-Pop Hotspot, BADVILLAIN makes their first comeback with the single, ‘ZOOM!’ We were already expecting a banger, but ‘ZOOM’ blew away all our expectations. From the wordplay and double meaning in the title to the stunning music video visuals, these girls killed it! ‘ZOOM’ belongs in your girls’ night out playlist for when you need a reminder that you’re THAT girl. Don’t mess with this rookie group!

JUNG ILHOON

Everyone say, “Welcome back, Jung Ilhoon.” He just dropped his new single, ‘Lullaby,’ and it marks a new beginning for his music. ‘Lullaby’ is the type of song we’d play on a late-night drive. It’s so chill and honest, and we absolutely adore the instrumental. The lyrics hit us so hard, knowing his past and waiting for his comeback for so long. But now that Ilhoon is ready to move forward, we’ll support him and all his songs. Fighting!

NOWADAYS

There are so many singles in this month’s K-Pop Hotspot! Only three months since their last comeback, NOWADAYS is back with their new single, ‘Let’s get it!’ This is perfect if you need a song to add to your morning motivation playlists. Composed and written by the members, ‘Let’s get it’ is a banger with killer verses. And we can always appreciate hearing traditional instruments in the melody.

ZHOUMI

November is an excellent month to stan solo K-Pop artists! Zhou Mi is back with a brand new single with a Korean and Chinese version: ‘Ex Games!’ We’re in love with his voice and could listen to both versions all day. Zhou Mi sings about having an ex-lover you keep waiting for, wanting to get back together with them. Whether the push-and-pull feelings make you keep coming back, it’s time to stop playing these “ex games.”

JAY CHANG

The amount of talent Jay Chang possesses is absolutely insane. This year has been quite busy, yet he found the time to drop a solo album. If this isn’t spoiling us…While we should focus on the title song’ LaSalle Ave,’ we can’t help but say that we are in love with the whole NEIGHBORHOOD album. We have been following his career for a while and somehow keep being surprised by his steady and powerful vocals. We always feel a rush of excitement listening to his music. Jay Chang manages to present a variety of moods, and we are here for it. We have the entirety of NEIGHBORHOOD on our playlists, and if you don’t have it yet, don’t you think it’s time to change that?

ICHILLIN’

ICHILLIN’ knew we’d been missing their bops, so they came back with Prequel, their seventh digital single! The title track, ‘Official,’ is a house runway track paired with a creative and fun music video. Even though ICHILLIN’ switched up the concept from their last release, it suits these girls so well! And ‘Miami’ is another bop of a B-side. They’re so underrated it kills us; they deserve all the love!

WONHO

WONHO‘s back! Not only has he been discharged from the military, but our beloved WONHO is back with a new English single. And it’s just in time for his USA fan meetups in December! (To those who got tickets: how does it feel to be some of the luckiest people ever?) ‘What Would You Do’ has a soft rock sound that WONHO absolutely bodied. He sings such emotional and heartbreaking lyrics about what his ex would do if he ruined their life as much as they did him. Here’s to more music from WONHO in the next year!

IZNA

We’ve got another stellar debut in this November K-Pop Hotspot! The survival show, I-Land 2: N/a, has formed a girl group called izna. Their debut EP, N/a, contains five songs that all made it into our on-repeat playlists! The title track, ‘IZNA,’ is catchy with a fire music video. Everyone slayed this debut for real. If this first mini-album is any indication, everyone needs to keep their eyes on izna from now on!

TWS

TWS just dropped their first single, Last Bell, rounding out the trilogy in their lore! We get three incredible songs that all remind us of our adolescence. It’s clear why ‘Last Festival’ is the title track, with its refreshing beat and lyrics. We can’t get enough of this song. TWS closes a chapter in 2024, preparing for a new festival and experience next year. Don’t ask us to tell you our favorite from Last Bell because we can’t pick!

BTOB

BTOB’s not letting up on us this year! They know exactly what we need to hear at any moment. Their new single, ‘Be Alright,’ tells us they’ll always be there to comfort and help us through the hard times. Everything will be alright as long as we keep going and trust that the sadness will pass. We can’t express how much we needed this message. And we’ll keep BTOB in our hearts and minds for as long as possible.

Only a few months after making their Japanese debut with The Highest, WayV is back with their sixth EP, Frequency. (That’s their third release in 2024!) ‘Frequency’ comes with a Korean and Chinese version, both bangers. Their sound is so versatile; we love ‘HIGH FIVE’ and ‘Call Me’ so badly.

RED VELVET IRENE

IRENE SOLO DEBUT? Stop what you’re doing and listen to Red Velvet Irene’s first-ever solo mini-album. No, really. This is not a game. ‘Like A Flower’ is cheerful and groovy. Irene’s declaring that she’s more than a visual (so real!). We should be paying attention to her as an artist, and this EP proves just how much her talents have blossomed. In addition to the six songs in Like A Flower, Irene blesses us with two more special tracks!

SUPER JUNIOR-D&E

We couldn’t resist covering Super Junior-D&E‘s INEVITABLE – REPACKAGE album in this month’s K-Pop Hotspot! Donghae and Eunhyuk have added three new songs to this repackaged album, exceeding our expectations. ‘I Try’ is an inspirational track that almost brings us to tears from the instrumental alone. ’24/7 Ride’ switches it up for a dance club vibe. And ‘Promise’ features fellow Super Junior members Siwon, Zhou Mi, Ryeowook, and Kyuhyun. Our hearts can’t take this mini-reunion!

SEVENTEEN

Whether it’s giving an emotional speech at the MAMA awards or releasing a Japanese rock ballad like ‘Shohikigen,’ SEVENTEEN keeps making us cry our eyes out. But we love them so much that we feel such a surge of appreciation and tenderness whenever we see them on our screens. Their fourth Japanese single, Shohikigen, pulls on our CARAT heartstrings. Our love for SEVENTEEN will never expire. They definitely sealed the deal with Jeonghan and Jun’s appearances in the music video. We’ll wait for OT13 to come back for as long as it takes!

JAY B

Fresh off of being discharged from the military, JAY B has dropped an entire album for us! We’re so thankful for him, honestly. Because his new album, Archive 1: [Road Runner], packs eleven songs of the highest quality! JAY B must’ve had most of this album ready before enlisting, and it means so much more that he dropped it now that he’s back, hitting the ground running back into the studio. You won’t find any skips in this album, from the chill ‘Baby’ all the way to the seductive ‘Cloud nine.’

SUPER JUNIOR KYUHYUN

Rounding out our November K-Pop Hotspot is Super Junior Kyuhyun‘s first-ever full album, COLORS! We’re shocked that he’s only now releasing a full album, but we’ll take all we can get from our vocal king! The title track, ‘Unending Days,’ talks about never being able to stop thinking of someone. No matter how much time has passed, you can’t help but think about what life could be like with them still here. We love how the lyrics could be interpreted as a bad breakup or grieving the loss of a loved one. Another beautiful comeback from Kyuhyun!
