Which other names do you think are commonly shared among K-Pop idols? Let us know in the comments!

 

The K-Pop industry sees countless groups release chart-topping hits every month, impressing audiences with their coordinated movements and harmonious melodies. They're able to rely on each other's strengths, creating stunning performances that stun audiences far and wide. While groups make up a majority of the K-Pop scene, there are various soloists who impress all on their own.

One talented soloist that recently made her comeback is YuJu. The skilled vocalist returned with the single 'DALALA', causing fans everywhere to start moving and grooving right out of their seat. Although this time around she released only one new song, it's mesmerizing from the very first second.

Here's a few reasons why we're in love with YuJu's comeback!

 

1. An Electrifyingly Groovy Song

While 'DALALA' shares some similarities with her previous title track, this time around, YuJu takes a more lively approach. Starting from the intro, you feel something take over your body, making you sway from side to side. It's incredibly electric with its groovy bass and disco undertones. Listening to this song, you'll feel the need to make any location your own personal dancefloor.

 

2. Fun And Immersive Music Video

As with most comebacks, 'DALALA' comes with an accompanying music video that's just as fun and explosive. It's visually pleasing, with YuJu bringing viewers through a universe specifically made to let loose and forget all your worries. Even when an elderly man interrupts her elevator dance time, the high energy still remains, waiting to be released once mroe. As the music video comes to the end, you'll find yourself pressing the replay button to continue dancing along with YuJu.

 

3. Return Of A Talented Vocalist

Throughout her career, YuJu has always been lauded as a spectacular vocalist. From dance tracks to ballads, she's able to hit every note perfectly, bringing you under a dreamlike trance. Just one listen from any of her tracks will have you yearning for more, and that continues to be true with this single album. Don't be surprised if you find yourself humming 'DALALA' all day long.

How are you liking YuJu's comeback with 'DALALA'? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

 

An announcement of a comeback in the K-Pop world is a cause for celebration for many fans. Like, your favourite groups and soloists releasing a new single will have you in your head for days, with your earphones plugged in. Imagine how elated Jeon SoMi’s fans were when she finally came back after almost two years with her newest mini album, “GAME PLAN”. Or imagine how excited and happy HwaSa’s fans were when her very recently released single, ‘I Love My Body’ reached streaming platforms. Pure bliss, we would say, but there are still other soloists we’d love to hear from.

With comeback after comeback occuring in the K-Pop scene, it’s somewhat easy to forget soloists, especially idol soloists. From the gems in music form that they’ve put out in the past, it’s no surprise we want more of these soloists’ songs back on our playlist. In this article, we’ll tell you 6 K-Pop idol soloists we wish would have their comeback. We can’t seem to want more of the chart-toppers they’ll very likely release.

 

1. Red Velvet’s Wendy

If you were constantly looping ‘When This Rain Stops’ and ‘Best Friend’ ft SeulGi from Wendy’s debut album, then we feel you. Not only does her ethereal voice bring to live what music truly is, her soulful vocal delivery ensures that you can’t stop thinking about her songs. Maybe you even go about your day with the tunes buzzing in your head. That is totally understandable, and we feel the exact same way. Now, time to manifest a Wendy comeback.

 

2. SEVENTEEN’s WooZi

After ‘Ruby’ dropped, CARATs (SEVENTEEN’s fandom) went positively ballistic. Why wouldn’t they or why wouldn’t you? It was the debut single of the super boy group’s very own producer, composer and lyricist. WooZi’s songwriting skills in this single are just peak, and the way he sings the lines in English makes us wish we were the ones turning red when he looked at us. Another release, please.

 

3. TWICE’s NaYeon

We think everyone was overtaken by the ‘POP!’ virus last year. A summer release with the most fun and enjoyable title track? NaYeon outdid herself for her solo debut, and even made amazing tracks with the likes of Wonstein and Stray Kids’ Felix. She has proven her talent time and time again as the center of TWICE and a great vocalist and dancer. It would be the biggest of privileges if she could repeat that enthusiasm and passion in a comeback. Please make it happen, JYP.

 

4. WonHo

WonHo knows just what it means to be a soloist with substance. His songs ‘Losing You’ and ‘Open Mind’ are absolute bangers, worth at least a listen a week. It’s evident how much energy and time he puts into making these masterpieces, and he never fails to hit with every comeback. Since we’ve been starved of a good ol’ WonHo comeback, we dare say it’s about time it happened. Preferably right after his mandatory military service.

 

5. BLACKPINK’s Jennie

Well, obviously, both BLINKs and casual stans/listeners would love to see Jennie in her ‘SOLO’ element again. She knows just what it means to captivate an audience, and what it means to perform and give a song life. Though it’s been five years since she debuted solo, there’s been next to no news about a comeback. Hopefully, now that all the members of BLACKPINK have made their debuts, there just might be a chance solo Jennie can drop her own stuff again. Hopefully.

 

6. YuJu

While you might know YuJu as the idol who has recorded so many original soundtracks for dramas, you might want to also check out her solo music. Her debut album “REC” was absolutely wonderful to listen to, and the vocalist showed us just how stable and enthusiastic her vocals are. We’d so love for her to recreate her magic again, and we hope that happens real soon.

 

What idol soloists are you wishing or hoping would have their comeback soon? We’d absolutely love to know!
