band nines : BEST
“Best” is a mix between gothic rock and theater jazz. It’s very focused and deliberate. Interesting stuff by band nines.

RealFrog : LNO
“LNO” sounds like a transition song on a full length that’s meant to bridge two halves. As a standalone single, it has an uneven composition but RealFrog pulls it off well enough.

Moonbit : Wave to Dream
It feels like anime-inspired music is growing in South Korea. Like each single sounds like an opening or ending track. Moonbit has every box checked if you like the style.

Han Jung In : Black Hole
Han Jung In (who I knew as Cosmos Superstar) sent a wide press email about “Black Hole.” This song covers a breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.

heyseunghey : one by one
A mix between indie pop, pop, and R&B. This combination is a common one and heyseunghey performs it well.

Swon : dawn
Warm vocals and acoustic folk. You’ve probably heard this type of song before. Nothing wrong with Swon‘s style at all.

De’beus : Hourglass
So De’beus is like hard rock, math rock, and pop blended together. It’s got a nice angle and the rock-forward energy is a nice change.
