EXID—”I Love You”
Tag: 2018
HYO—”Punk Right Now”
A bop so fun that even Hyoyeon can't stop smiling.
TWICE—Yes or Yes
Easily the best multi-track release to emerge from the TWICE camp in 2018.
Jennie—”Solo”
Despite directorial efforts to the contrary, Jennie’s charm and talent are not entirely lost.
BoA—”One Shot, Two Shot”
A canny cross-section of current K-pop trends.
Sunmi—”Black Pearl”
