Track: Dance The Night Away | Artist: Twice | Album: Summer Nights The last time I featured Twice, I asked someone to wake me when they decided to show some progression in their music. No one followed my directions, it seems, because I was asleep for this one. Dance The Night Away is a refreshing change of pace for Twice, long known for their addictive, cutesy hook songs like Knock Knock or Like Ooh-Aah . I’ve always been a fan of vacation-themed tracks—check out Girls’ Generation’s Holiday or Sistar’s Loving U —and Twice’s latest title track carries on that trend. Dance The Night Away is crisp, no-nonsense bubblegum pop, but there’s a facet of humanity and naïveté here that reminds me of early, more innocent K-Pop like BoA’s Atlantis Princess . Perhaps best of all, the music video doesn’t have a single artificial set in sight, and I love it. K-Pop loves their flashy, bedazzled sets and stage lighting, and pe...

"National producers, thank you for your vote and support!" That's the message from performers of Produce 48, a K-pop idol audition program in South Korea , to their "producers" -- or the viewers of the show. The program’s goal is simple: At the end of a three-month run, 12 members out of the 96 contestants will be chosen as the winning K-pop idol group for two and a half years. The female contestants electioneer with a fervent zeal for each 90-minute-long program. In its third season, the show -- which has a motto to “produce an idol group, according to your taste” -- has already created a highly marketable girl-band and boy-band each of its first two seasons. This year, the program has broadened its scope to widen viewership. In addition to its 48 contestants from South Korea, it has invited another 48 from Japan. The talent show opened the season with the 96 girls and their mentors, seasoned K-pop entertainers in South Korea who help them impr...

While K-pop is largely a South Korean pop culture phenomenon, the industry is becoming more international, with many idols reaching out to their booming global fan bases through live performances and learning different languages. Blackpink are one such girl group who have become popular internationally. With members Lisa from Thailand, Korea-born but New Zealand-raised Jennie, Rosé, who was also born and raised in New Zealand, and Jisoo from South Korea, the group’s greatest strength may be the stars’ diverse backgrounds. Who is Daniel Kang, Wanna One K-pop star and reality TV survivor? This week, the group continued their international outreach by releasing a Japanese-language version of their latest single Ddu-du Ddu-du . The original Korean and English version was released in June, and the music video for the song broke records for K-pop music videos by notching up more than 36 million views on YouTube within 24 hours of release.

Track: Mr Chu | Artist: A Pink | Album: Pink Blossom Korean girl group concepts exist along a spectrum of cute to sexy. There are outliers, and a group may move up or down this spectrum along the course of their lifespans, but generally speaking, most of them can be neatly categorized along this line: they’re either on the cuter side, or the sexier side, and some are in between. A Pink is the definition of the cute girl group, as this music video for Mr Chu readily attests. If this isn’t enough, there’s also I Don’t Know , Hush , My My , NoNoNo , and a dozen more to fully convince you, once and for all, that a diet of A Pink is probably enough to give you diabetes before you reached the end of their discography. These videos are also a great example of aegyo , a Korean word with no direct English translation. In lieu of a definition, I’ve prepared some visual aids: Many texts translate it as “acting cute”, which I don’t think is quite a...

Track: Dream High | Artist: Various Artists | Album: Dream High OST K-Drama soundtracks are often hidden gems for picking out great K-Pop tracks. And when said K-Drama in question is about K-Pop, well, you know you’re in for a treat. Dream High was a 2011 drama about a fictional performing arts high school, and the students who came from various backgrounds to achieve their dreams. We’ve seen this plot before in practically every other anime series, but Dream High ’s idol-focused cast garnered pre-release attention, and the drama itself actually turned out to be pretty decent. Most of the idol actors are still recognizable today, some more than others: Suzy and IU are still household names, while T-ara’s Eunjung and the various 2PM members have faded somewhat. But the real breakout Dream High actor was Kim Soo Hyun, who portrayed an innocent, bumbling country boy who turned out to be gifted with genius musical intellect. Kim Soo Hyun would go on to become on...

Track: Step | Artist: KARA | Album: Step Along with Wonder Girls and Girls’ Generation, KARA was one of the most iconic girl groups active in Korea in the late 2000s to the early 2010s. While they were the first to disband among them, their influence on K-Pop (and J-Pop) trends can’t be underestimated. Although Mister was the track that gave them the initial push to stardom, Step , from a few years later, is my personal favorite from their discography. It’s a wonderful, nonstop burst of energy from beginning to end, and a good representation of the niche KARA occupied in K-Pop: a bit more mature, a bit more free-wheeling than their competitors. Sadly, as with a lot of K-Pop histories, KARA’s end was not the cleanest; amid swirling rumors of contract troubles and fracturing relationships within the group, KARA basically split in half in 2013, with two of the original members leaving. Their agency would attempt to continue the name by adding a new member, but th...

If you watched the closing ceremony for the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea — or just saw outtakes on Twitter because it was at the crack of dawn on a Sunday — you know that the spotlight was on K-Pop . One of the stars of the show was native rapper Chaelin Lee, better known as CL, who shut down the ceremony with her tracks “The Baddest Female” and “I Am the Best.” This K-Pop star has had her eyes set on taking over the music industry in the U.S. and has already made an impact on the fashion world as a muse of designers Jeremy Scott and Alexander Wang.

A K-pop superstar is one of the latest celebrities to get in on the " Shiggy Challenge ." First it was Will Smith’s elaborate challenge video in Budapest, now it’s J-Hope, a member of the K-pop group BTS, participating in the summer dance craze, also known as the "In My Feelings" dance challenge. J-Hope, who is the main dancer in the group, is always the one to get up and start grooving, according to music journalist Jeff Benjamin. “Whether it's on stage, whether it's in an interview ... he'll almost always express himself via dance, first and foremost, before even using words,” Benjamin said. “So it totally makes sense that we see him as one of the first K-pop stars to get there and really do a fun and engaging 'In My Feelings' Challenge.” Benjamin said that BT...
