Rookie girl groups this year are really doing interesting things. ifeye had an ethereal debut with NERDY, which I quite liked and put both in my general Kpop playlist AND in my sleeping playlist...

This is probably the song PURPLE KISS would release if they were debuting in 2025 (...instead of, you know, the opposite). It plays into the "soft teenager" thing Kpop currently loves to do so much, but there's something eerie about it that sets it apart. It's almost like the song is based on awkward silences ? I don't know how to phrase it. Either way, it's ominous and bewitching.
AtHeart's debut is muuuch better than their pre-debut song, thank f*ck.

Chanmina dropped this fierce chaos today, so she's my #MusicWomenWednesday pick for this week. The pink-leotard-and-platforms-with-baby-on-the-back-of-the-bike scene cracks me up. She's so good.
