1. (여자)아이들((G)I-DLE) — ‘Allergy’ Official Music Video

I personally love this punk rock style, which reminds me of Avril Lavigne’s songs. The song is a pre-release track from (G)-IDLE’s new album, Queen Card, and it’s already very impressive. It exposes the mentality of comparison in the current age of the internet, where people want to become someone else who looks better or has something they don’t. They envy what others have to the point where they begin to hate their own appearance and inner qualities.

This song is just a prelude, and the story of how they transform into queens who love themselves slowly unfolds. We look forward to their upcoming tracks.

2.LE SSERAFIM (르세라핌) — ‘FEARNOT

LE Sserafim’s song ‘Unforgiven’ has already become very popular, but there’s another song on this album that I particularly like, ‘Fear not’. This should be a song for their fans.

I really like the part that goes, ‘She is not all fearless but you, you help her fearless. Even if we’re walking in deep darkness, you and I, we will sing together. I believe in you, I am sure on my way.’ Such beautiful lyrics.

Compared to other songs, this song is not a typical style for girl groups, but I think it’s a very warm song and the lyrics are really well-written.

3.aespa 에스파 ‘Thirsty’

Aespa is back! Their mini album ‘MY WORLD’ has pre-sold over 1.8 million copies, breaking their own record! Besides the catchy ‘Spicy’, I particularly like ‘Thirsty’, especially the rap part. I really like their entire album, which changes their previous style and has a unique charm.
