6. Jun.K (2pm)
The JYP artist released his second full album with two title tracks ‘Your Wedding’ and ‘No Shadow’. It had been revealed this was planned as a gift to his fans before he enlisted. The former song in particular is beautiful to listen to, which highlighted a one-sided love and the pain of watching the one he loves marry someone else.
7. Year 7 Class 1
The girl group have put out their newest digital single ‘Please Remember Me’. The vocals are soft and dulcet in this ballad styled track with the harmonies also add to the general appeal.

8. Cha Yoonji

It looks like she’s following in the steps of her brother, B1A4’s Baro to be an artist!
9. WALWARI
Next up is Walwari, he debuted with his digital single ‘HAKUNAMATATA’! There’s been a number of occasions when artists have included the ‘hakuna matata’, which if you’re a Disney fan you know it means ‘no worries. The MV is very quirky and matches the tone of the song!

11. Rain
Finally to finish off, Rain has made his anticipated return since 2014 with the title song ‘The Best Present’ which was also produced by PSY. It takes it slow, the lyrics used as a platform to appreciate the pillar of strength in his life, whether this is directed towards his partner or towards his fans, though both must have provided some kind of comfort for him.
