F.T. Island – Wind

This time they are back with their 10th anniversary track ‘Wind’ a powerful ballad. It’s amazing to see how far F.T. Island have come since they debuted, and to think Hongki’s voice continues to convey such emotion and power with his vocal abilities. The song was released along with the 10th anniversary album ‘Over 10 Years’ on the 7th of June.
Cosmic Girls (WSJN) – Happy
Release: The Cosmic Girls are back with the release of the new song ‘Happy’. The concept follows a background of a dodgeball game where the girls are characterised as cute cheerleaders.

Kim Chungha – Why Don’t You Know ft. Nucksal
