We’re already at the end of November and another killer month to be a K-Pop stan! Are you ready to dive into our latest K-Pop Hotspot? We know we are!
But first, make sure you catch up on our comeback reviews for TXT’s Yeonjun, ITZY, Sunmi, and Cha Eunwoo. We’re on our second to last K-Pop roundup of the year, so let’s make them count!
IDLE MIYEON
Miyeon from i-dle is starting our November K-Pop Hotspot right with her new solo mini-album, MY, Lover! It’s a seven-track EP filled with love, loss, and everything in between. Miyeon poured her heart into this comeback, and we can appreciate it so much! The melancholy title track, ‘Say My Name,’ tells the story of a breakup that keeps haunting you. A few of our favorite B-sides include ‘F.F.L.Y,’ ‘You And No One Else,’ and ‘Petal Shower!’

WINNER SEUNG YOON
WINNER’s Kang Seung Yoon dropped his second solo album this month, and he absolutely healed us! PAGE 2 follows up on Seung Yoon’s musical and life journey four years after his first full album. The title track, ‘ME,’ is refreshing and beautiful in every way. From the showstopping music video to the lyrics about falling in love with someone, we can’t get enough of his solo comeback.

ARrC
ARrC keeps it fresh with their new single album, CTRL+ALT+SKIID! We knew we had the right idea to stan these boys. Their sound is so addictive and criminally underrated. ‘SKIID’ is a high-energy hip-hop track with a vibey chorus and killer verses. We also live for their B-side with Moon Sua x Siyoon, ‘Wow (Way of Winning)!’ It’s a collab we didn’t know we needed. Seriously, please stop sleeping on ARrC.

FIFTY FIFTY
In the category of catchy November K-Pop comebacks, FIFTY FIFTY’s new single album takes the cake! Too Much Part 1 features the addictive title track, ‘Skittlez,’ and the Korean and English versions of ‘Eeny meeny miny moe.’ ‘Skittlez’ has been replaying in our head nonstop! The music video is colorful and playful with plenty of trippy special effects. Their B-side is just as catchy and title track-worthy, in our humble opinion.

U-KNOW
Y’all don’t love U-KNOW YUNHO as much as we do! We can’t believe I-KNOW is his first-ever full album, but better late than never. U-KNOW absolutely delivers a masterpiece with this 10-track solo album, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down! This K-Pop veteran never fails to show new sides of himself with every release. The funky pre-release, ‘Body Language,’ gave us time to get hyped. And the dark title track, ‘Stretch,’ offers a sharp contrast. We would get DOWN in the club to this song. You won’t find any skips on I-KNOW, to be sure.

JUSTB
JUSTB returned with Snow Angel, their 5th mini album, and it’s one of those comebacks that pulls you in before you even realize it. The project leans into electric synth-pop with emotional depth woven through the production. The vocals flow effortlessly through the hyperpop touches and digital edges, giving the whole album a cool mood. At times, it even brings back a hint of older K-Pop experimentation with electronic synths. If Snow Angel marks the start of a new era for JUSTB, we’re ready to follow wherever this sound leads next.

PLAVE
With their 2nd single album, PLBBUU, PLAVE delivers a dose of feel-good pop that lands right where it needs to. The title track, ‘BBUU!’ blends soft R&B elements with playful pop brightness, creating an easy mood lift. The music video doubles down on that energy. It’s colorful, animated, and full of personality. The album also features ‘Hide and Seek’ (Korean Ver.) and ‘Bongsoong-a,’ both of which offer a softer counterbalance to the title track and round out the release with a touch of warmth.

CRAVITY
Summer in November? The vibes are definitely there in CRAVITY‘s latest release. Maybe because Dare to Crave : Epilogue is the repackage of their summer album, or maybe because of the name of their title track, ‘Lemonade Fever.’ The song is bright and quite refreshing, like those lemonades we crave so much during the summer. We’re letting loose and grooving to all the added new songs, and replaying the album we’ve been loving since June.

Getting it down with ONF‘s ‘Put It Back’ since day one, and we keep going strong. The funky tunes drew us in, and it’s simply impossible to get tired of this release. Moreover, the album UNBROKEN has us wrapped around its songs, and we’re more than happy about it. While currently we have ‘Moonlight Festa’ on repeat, you’d be wise to check out the rest of the B-sides as well. Only good music awaits you on this album!

We’re still not over their latest Korean comeback, and now we’re also obsessively streaming this English single. It’s giving us a nostalgic retro feeling that matches the song’s theme of recalling a past love. They skillfully connect those old memories to a color, showing the power of triggering memories by association. We’re definitely pulled in by ‘baby blue’ and won’t be shutting up about it any time soon.

The catchy ‘S.O.S’ is still ringing in our heads, and it’s obvious it’s got its permanent spot in our hearts. This might be our current favorite track by our queen Moonbyul, and it is definitely placing high on our fave list of her solo tracks. You can’t tell us you listened to ‘S.O.S’ and didn’t replay it a bunch of times.

ATEEZ
What could have made November even better than it already was? ATEEZ giving us one of the best surprises, that’s what! The global phenomenon celebrated its fans’ seventh birthday by revealing a surprise song that expresses their love and gratitude for ATINY. And to top it off, they dropped an MV focusing on their singing and emotions, which truly captured the feelings of ‘Choose.’ We were sobbing, being an emotional mess, and we still are whenever we listen to the song.

NCT DREAM
NCT DREAM reminds us who they are with their new EP, Beat It Up! The title track, ‘Beat It Up,’ comes with plenty of confidence and attitude. The music video visuals are absolute insanity, and the lyrics go so hard. Not to mention the choreography, hello?! We just can’t get enough of these six incredible songs, especially the B-sides, ‘Rush,’ ‘Tempo,’ and ‘TRICKY.’

INFINITE JANG DONGWOO
INFINITE Jang Dongwoo’s AWAKE is definitely one of our favorite releases from November. It’s been too long since his last solo, so of course we were over the moon to hear about this comeback. His work shows his personal color, and we’ve always loved watching him perform, whether as part of a group or solo, as a rapper or singer. Dongwoo just has that charisma that will keep your attention glued the whole time. And he definitely proves that charm is as strong as ever, if not even stronger.

Moving on is the best thing you can do for yourself, so leave your exes behind. It’s the quartet’s first comeback since their debut, and we’re getting more and more obsessed with their sound. These girls have incredible potential, and we can’t wait to see how they’ll take on 2026.

SUPER JUNIOR KYUHYUN
We know that Kyuhyun’s bound to make us cry with every solo comeback. His new EP, The Classic, touched our hearts with his beautiful vocals and ballads. The music video for ‘Like Our First Snow’ tells a bittersweet love story that once was. Kyuhyun sings about remembering a past love that remains with him even now. We need it as a romance drama with his mini-album as the soundtrack immediately.

It’s a bright and beautiful track about growing into your true self and really shining.
