[Release Round Up] 21/02/2021 – 27/02/2021

As February draws to a close, Spring is finally creeping in and while the month was short lived; there was still a long list of trending songs and debuts that have been making waves in South Korea and beyond. The last week of February was no different as it brought a return of a legendary group, under-the-radar hits and rookies taking to the stage.

Here are some of the UKP Team’s favourites of the last seven days and a brief look into next week’s big releases.

This Week’s Top Picks

.After two and a half years of waiting, SHINee is back with the seventh studio album, Don’t Call Me. Despite being occupied with solo work or military service, the boys are proving that they haven’t lost the versatility and talent that made them household names in Korea.

Sunmi is known for some alluring performances and her latest comeback could possibly be her sexiest track yet. An array of colourful outfits, sultry vocals and a risqué dance routine transforms the solo artist into a femme fatale for her new single, Tail.

With a concept blending Cyberpunk and a retro teen drama style; ONF is back with a comeback that is a joy for the eyes and ears. Even if you have never heard of the WM boy group before, Beautiful Beautiful is bound to put a smile on your face.

Next Week’s Ones to Watch

March is definitely starting with some Fireworks with the return of ATEEZ. Despite Mingi sitting out of physical promotions; the group’s charisma, style and hard-hitting club sound is guaranteed to dominate the stage and possibly steal some hearts after the success of Inception last year.
