About Playlist
At the end of 2022, BTS—the world-dominating K-Pop band that became the genre's first group to sell out Wembley Stadium, earn a Top 10 single on the Billboard Hot 100 charts and play Saturday Night Live—will take a break to complete South Korea's conscripted military service (which other K-Pop acts, like Super Junior, have already gone through). While those superstars are out of musical commission until 2025's planned reunion, dive into this expansive playlist focused on the best of K-Pop's past and present. Mostly inflected with hip-hop and R&B, there's also plenty of disco influence (Monsta X, IU), chip music (Red Velvet's exuberant "Power Up"), Doja Cat cuteness (Taeyeon, formerly of massively popular Girls' Generation, who also make this list), smooth ballads (Epik High's "Rain Song") and electro-house bangers ("I Am the Best" by 2NE1). Some tracks are absolute earworms: Good luck getting BTS' "Dynamite," Girl' Generation's "Gee," SHINee's Euro-synth "Ring Ding Dong" or Twice's all-English "The Feels" out of your head. There are classics from genre pioneer Seo Taiji, who turned 50 in 2022, and defunct acts like S.E.S. and Sistar 19—both of whom sound inspired by TLC. The excellent, hard-edged Blackpink is well represented here, as are members Lisa and Jennie's solo careers. And yes, the monster hit that was Psy's "Gangnam Style"—which introduced K-Pop to the larger world in 2012—is on the list. As are members of the new wave: Aespa, Bibi (part of the 88Rising crew), Jeon Somi and Jessi. Born in New York, the latter moved to Korea at 15 and could give Megan Thee Stallion a run for her money. One thing you won't find, of course: co-ed acts. Photo: BLACKPINK © Universal Music Group
