K-Pop Groups That Are Saving The New Generation

(all opinionated)

#1: IZNA

‧₊˚♪ 𝄞₊˚⊹

WakeOne’s seven-member South Korean girl group is saving the 5th-gen curse of bad music.

  • IZNA was formed via the K-pop survival show, I-Land 2. With their unique visuals and vocals, their songs never miss a beat. I put them as number one out of all three because of the 2017 feel. Their songs give a sort of nostalgia that only 2017-18 K-pop songs have. Some examples would include “Stay” by BLACKPINK, “Oh NaNa” by KARD, and “Really Really” by WINNER. With their debut song (izna) and their newest comeback (Sign), IZNA has become one of my personal favorites. IZNA’s songs are, quote on quote, “saving K-pop” because of how their music feels.

#2: NCT WISH

SM’s boy group, consisting of 26 members and 6 different subunits, NCT, is K-pop’s saving grace from the interesting music that 5th gen groups are coming out with. 

  • Neo really “got my back”. NCT’s newest subunit, NCT WISH, is taking the 5th gen stage by storm. Their bubbly debut and comebacks have been nothing short of spectacular. From the “Riku shaking meme” to the 8.3M views on their latest comeback, poppop, NCT WISH has it all. The yummylicious music these 6 boys come out with never fails to remind me, as well as others, of how older, 2016 boy groups would debut with pink sparkly colors and bubbly title tracks.

#3: TripleS

‧₊˚♪ 𝄞₊˚⊹

TripleS, or Social Sonyo Seoul, is a 26-member South Korean girl group under Modhaus. They are claimed to be the first “decentralized” K-pop girl group in which the members switch in and out of solo comebacks, group, and subunits.

  • With all of the newer “experimental” instrumental music that’s become a norm in K-pop, TripleS brings something different and refreshing to the table. The unique instrumentals and the music video concepts are something that many other groups don’t necessarily do anymore. I think it’s interesting how the videos aren’t just them dancing, but they hold a story like how K-pop MVs used to be back in 2015 -2018
