The Best K-Pop Groups to Feed Your Growing Obsession
To be honest, maybe you’re one of those people who has heard of K-pop and has decided it’s time to give it a try. You’ve come to the right location if that’s what you’re looking for. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, K-pop refers to Korean pop music, which is extremely popular across the world. From pop to rap, R&B, EDM, rock, and more, this music category encompasses a wide range of genres. But K-pop isn’t just about the music, which is why it’s so addictive: sleek choreography and crazy music videos are also key features of Hallyu, the Korean cultural tsunami that’s sweeping the globe.
LOOΠΔ or LOONA
You’ll find this group’s ardent supporters screaming their tried and tested battlecry “STAN LOONA” in the responses to any popular tweet. This unwavering support has undoubtedly been earned by the 12-member collective. They have traditional K-Pop “stick in your head” bangers with equally imaginative graphics. To start your trip to LOONA standom, we recommend the tunes “Butterfly” and “Hi High.”
GOT7
These guys have had an extremely insane few years, and I recommend you catch up on them right now. Dye, their upcoming album, is a must-listen, which comes as no surprise. Their chemistry is what makes them so appealing. In each given interview, they have a funny brotherly vibe, and after a YouTube binge, you almost feel like a member of the band.
We recommend you listen to ‘Just right’, ‘If you do’ or ‘Not by the moon’ which is our favorite, to create the first impression.
BTS
Is it possible to discuss K-pop without mentioning BTS? Very unlikely. For good reason, BTS is perhaps the most popular K-pop group in the world. Among their achievements include becoming the first musicians in iTunes history to have eight songs chart at number one in 100 countries, beating the record for the most viewers for a YouTube debut, and destroying a US stadium tour.
Isn’t it amazing? The group, which consists of three rappers (RM, Suga, and J-Hope) and four vocalists (Jin, Jimin, V, and Jungkook), incorporates hip-hop, pop, some EDM, and rap into their discography, tackling love and mental health concerns via their songs. It only takes one look at one of their videos to see why they’ve become such a worldwide sensation.
Blackpink
It’ll be difficult to say goodbye to Jennie Kim, Lisa, Jisoo, and Rosé once you’ve welcomed them into your life. BLACKPINK is one of the most prominent K-pop groups of this age, and their songs are all hits—I defy you to listen to one of their songs and not have it stuck in your brain for days. They’ve made music history throughout the years with their dynamic and daring tunes, as well as fantastic choreography that you’ll want to master.
Monsta X
The bad guys of K-pop are deserving of a slot on your playlist. Monsta X’s fame continues to rise, with songs topping several music charts and shattering hearts all over the world, and you’ll see why the minute you press play on any of their songs. Every Monsta X song is a realm you’ll want to immerse yourself in, bringing hip-hop, EDM, and pop to the table. In the songs, layers and layers of passionate vocals meet impassioned rap lines, instantly turning you into a Monbebe.
