New K-pop Releases

It's been a while since I featured new K-pop releases on the blog. Actually, I don't think I've done a post with just new K-pop songs since the beginning of last year! I did share some K-pop videos from my YouTube playlist last month though.

So today I'm sharing some new Korean releases. :)

Chung Ha- Stay Tonight

First up is Chung Ha (also written as Chungha), a solo singer (who was also a member of now disbanded project group I.O.I. This is Stay Tonight which was released in late April, so it's new-ish, lol.



Chung Ha- Be Yourself

And here is Chung Ha's latest release Be Yourself, which came out on 9th June. It's an upbeat dancey pop song, and is actually an ad for Sprite as part of the Korean Sprite summer campaign! The man in the video is model Jung Hyuk.




Slightly off topic question: Which do you prefer 7Up or Sprite? 7Up has always been my favourite, I used to drink it regularly for years but I cut down on it for my dental health (mostly stopped drinking it). I occasionally have both 7-up and Sprite now though.

Chung Ha also recently collaborated with rapper pH-1 on the song My Friend, which was produced by Zion T. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NV2rzS7VJQ



GOT7- NOT BY THE MOON

This is NOT BY THE MOON by boyband GOT7. Again it's "new-ish" since it was released in  April! It's the lead single from their 11th EP Dye, released on the 20th.

It's a love song, quite intense sounding if you see the English subtitles! (Click "Subtitles/closed captions" while viewing on YouTube). The English translation of the lyrics on YouTube is "Dye yourself with me, so I can be inside you, and also you can be inside me. We can be together forever".



Check out the performance video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xegzT6pPIb0

And for Jackson Wang's solo song 100 Ways (English language) visit this post:


NU'EST- I'm in Trouble


Here's the latest from boyband NU'EST.  It's called I'm in Trouble and is the title track of their 8th mini album [The Nocturne], released on 11th May. The song is about realising you're in trouble when you first fall intensely in love with someone.



MONSTA X- FANTASIA

Finally here is FANTASIA, the new single from Monsta X. It's from their latest mini album FANTASIA X which came out in May. FANTASIA was released on 27th May, the same day as the mini album, I think.



Back in February Monsta X released their first English language album! You can read my post about it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/02/monsta-x-debut-english-album.html


So that's it for now. Hope you enjoyed the post! :) What are your current favourite K-pop songs?

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...
