Over the past decade, Asian Pop has transitioned from a regional phenomenon to a central force in the global music landscape. It remains deeply rooted in local traditions while thriving through a globalized approach and a robust digital presence.
The list below ranks 20 recently released Asian Pop songs in descending order of engagement over the last 30 days.
1 . RoseÌ, Bruno Mars - Apt.Details 
  “Apt.” pairs Rosé with Bruno Mars in an irresistibly sleek showdown, blending glossy electropop with scrappy pop-punk hues. Bruno’s signature retro flourishes intersect with Rosé’s indie-tinged brilliance, creating a tug-of-war between seductive basslines and airy guitar riffs. The song’s playful nod to a Korean drinking chant adds cultural depth, catching listeners off-guard with its infectious familiarity. Interpolating Toni Basil’s 1982 banger “Mickey,” the track spins nostalgia into something sharp-edged and kinetic, demolishing genre boundaries as easily as knocking back soju shots. The production lineup—Bruno himself, Cirkut, Omer Fedi, and Rogét Chahayed—constructs a tightly layered soundscape that’s strangely chaotic yet perfectly cohesive. Rosé’s breathy delivery teases, while Bruno leans into a swagger that feels both effortless and meticulously performed. Commercially, it wrangles massive streams and downloads right out of the gate, speaking to its crossover pull. The YouTube video amplifies the song’s playful tension, with a flirtatious visual narrative served in neon-drenched nonchalance. But beneath its flirtation and sass lies a self-awareness—Bruno’s veteran polish meets Rosé’s calculated freshness in an unlikely, electric collaboration. Genres : Pop,k-pop, dance pop, pop The music video is directed by Daniel Ramos

2 . BLACKPINK - 뛰어(JUMP)Details
 Released in July 2025 via YG Entertainment, “JUMP” breaks BLACKPINK’s group hiatus since their 2023 entry for BLACKPINK THE GAME’s soundtrack. Production credits line up Diplo, 24, Boaz Van De Beatz, Zecca, and Ape Drums, whose fingerprints are all over its EDM backbone and hardstyle-leaning pulse. The result swerves noticeably from their earlier formulas—not a reinvention, but a reshuffle. Formed in 2016, BLACKPINK—Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa—still manages to attach surprise to a formula known for its rigor. Genres : k-pop The music video is directed by ;

3 . LE SSERAFIM, LE SSERAFIM,J-Hope - SpaghettiDetails
 “Spaghetti” slips into alternative pop and funk with a beat described as both sophisticated and addictive. Released on October 24, 2025, it leads LE SSERAFIM’s first single album with a wink and a smirk. The lyrics play up the image of the group as spaghetti in your teeth—impossible to ignore, mildly annoying, oddly satisfying. Production by Score, Megatone, and “Hitman” Bang keeps things fast, loose, and just polished enough. J-Hope of BTS drops in for one dynamic verse, boosting the song’s playful mood without overstaying his welcome. Hooks come easy, confidence runs high, and the invitation is clear: chew on this, and good luck spitting it out. Genres : k-pop The music video is directed by Wontae Go

4 . KATSEYE - GameboyDetails
 “Gameboy” lands as track three on KATSEYE’s second EP, released June 2025, picking up where their debut year left off. Layered in brisk pop sheen and international hooks, the song keeps pace with a lineup that stretches from South Korea to the Philippines by way of Switzerland and the U.S. This is the same six-piece—Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, Yoonchae—formed via the 2023 series The Debut: Dream Academy and now operated out of Los Angeles. The EP follows previous cuts like “Debut,” “Touch,” and “Gnarly,” shifting tones without dropping the global polish. Released under HYBE and Geffen Records, the group’s formation was tracked in the Netflix documentary Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE, for anyone keeping score at home. Genres : k-pop The music video is directed by Aerin Moreno Featured on the album BEAUTIFUL CHAOS

5 . KATSEYE - GnarlyDetails
 KATSEYE returns from a 9-month silence with “Gnarly,” a sardonic club track layered in booming 808s and coarse rave synths. Released in April 2025, the song repeats the word “gnarly” about 40 times, transforming trendy catchwords into a running punchline. Lyrics veer into pop culture absurdism—“Boba tea (Gnarly), Tesla (Gnarly), Fried chicken (Gnarly)”—while cheekily comparing attraction to snack-food heat: “Hottie, hottie, like a bag of Takis.” The video unfolds inside a hyperactive party-world of Y2K fashion and saturated styling, echoing the track’s satire on linguistic oversimplification. Genres : k-pop The music video is directed by Cody Critcheloe

6 . Jennie - Like JennieDetails
 “Like Jennie” arrives as the latest solo venture from South Korean singer and rapper Jennie, scheduled for release in March 2025 as part of her debut studio album. Infused with a mix of pop and hip-hop, the track leans into her signature style, both playful and self-assured. The title riffs on her name, reinforcing the persona she has crafted. Issued via her own label, Odd Atelier, in collaboration with Columbia Records, the song follows her 2018 solo debut, “SOLO.” Genres : ,k-pop The music video is directed by HANBAGO (HAN GYEOL LEE) Featured on the album Ruby

7 . Stray Kids - 신선놀음 (DIVINE)Details
 Stray Kids drop “신선놀음 (DIVINE)” as one of two title tracks from their 2025 album *SKZ IT TAPE ‘DO IT’*, released on November 21. Built on a classic boom bap backbone, the track flips smoothly between melodic vocal rides and barked-out rap, framing the group as self-styled sinseon—Korean folkloric sages with a taste for “NEW POP.” The concept finds them breaking away from worldly static, casting themselves as divine rule-breakers with no use for tradition. Lyrics stick to that tune: confident, self-authored, uninterested in following anyone else’s blueprint for meaning or creativity. The video leans in hard—myth-charged visuals meet digital fantasy, with members navigating dystopian tableaus like folklore avatars with backup dancers. Production-wise, it’s all in: bold percussion, theatrical flair, and hooks looping just long enough to ground the spectacle. “DIVINE” doesn’t try to reinvent pop—it just redraws the boundary lines so Stray Kids can claim the space inside. Or outside, as they’d likely prefer. The music video is directed by SAMSON |
8 . ILLIT - Not Cute AnymoreDetails
 A dreamy pop cut with a reggae sway, “Not Cute Anymore” sees ILLIT poking fun at their own image. They sing about ditching jelly shoes and keyring charms for brave bags and matcha, trying on a cooler look without fully committing to the persona. The repeated line “I’m not cute anymore (uh-uh)” plays like a wink, not a manifesto—mock-defiant but deeply self-aware. There’s a twist in the chorus: rejecting one label to keep it, but on their own terms. The video confirms the pose is semi-serious—they’re not discarding their cuteness, just proving there’s more to see. Genres : k-pop The music video is directed by Kwanggoeng Yu |
9 . Katseye - TouchDetails
 The debut single from HYBE x Universal Music Group’s girl group, KATSEYE, “Touch,” explores themes of disillusionment and emotional detachment in relationships. Released in May 2024, the song’s lyrical focus on miscommunication resonates with its poignant melodies. A “Holiday Version” later reimagines the track for festive celebrations, offering a unique perspective on moving forward from lost connections. Genres : Pop,5th gen k-pop The music video is directed by Cody Critcheloe

10 . TWICE - This Is ForDetails
 Released in July 2025, “This Is For” lands as TWICE’s title track from their fourth studio album, their first in almost four years. All nine members—Jihyo, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu—serve up a high-energy blend with strings and harp floating over a notably funky rhythm. The song arrives alongside a choreographed MV dropping the same day as the album: 14 tracks aiming straight for summer’s upbeat quota. Debuting under JYP Entertainment in 2015, TWICE built a sizeable audience across Korea and Japan, backing albums like Twicetagram and songs like “TT” and “Cheer Up.” Genres : k-pop The music video is directed by Hyeongjun Park

 Stray Kids‘ November 2023 single “Lalalala,” from their eighth EP, is a vibrant mix of phonk and Afrobeats. Its lyrics celebrate life and the joy of living in the moment.

13 . Bts - DynamiteDetails
 “Dynamite” is BTS’ foray into disco-pop, released on August 21, 2020, through Big Hit Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment. Produced by David Stewart, the track stands out as the band’s first fully English-language single. Designed to lift spirits during the COVID-19 pandemic, it channels joy through everyday moments. Debuting at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, it makes BTS the first all-South Korean act to achieve this. The song secures the group’s first Grammy nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.

14 . Aespa - WhiplashDetails
 From its first pulsing beat, “Whiplash” projects an electrifying confidence wrapped in razor-sharp EDM production. Aespa leans into a techno-heavy soundscape, crafting a propulsive rhythm that feels like it was designed for neon-lit nights and frenetic motion. The minimalist choreography showcased in the video clip mirrors the sleek intensity of the track, drawing inspiration from cult visuals like *Aeon Flux* and the surreal aesthetics of *Hylics.* The lyrics celebrate individuality and unstoppable drive, positioning the group as arbiters of a future-forward, trendsetting ethos. A five-month break from their “Supernova” release hasn’t dulled their momentum; instead, “Whiplash” feels like an energy surge redefining their catalog. Performed during their world tour “SYNK: PARALLEL LINE,” its fiery reception underscores their global reach, while the South Korean 3× Platinum certification cements its immediate local impact. The track’s synthetic textures contrast beautifully against its message of human-centered confidence, blending Aespa’s signature digital-girl narrative with emotional resonance. Genres : Pop,k-pop girl group The music video is directed by Lee Sohyun, Kim Doi

15 . BABYMONSTER - We Go UpDetails
 “We Go Up” throws BABYMONSTER into the ring with six members and a brass-heavy hip-hop pulse that wastes little time on niceties. The track jumps between tightly packed rap lines and chantable hooks, all swagger and no second-guessing. “We go up like whoa, we’re killas, killas, we’re villains, villains” isn’t here to start a dialogue—it’s a mission statement. The beat rides a rhythmic groove sharp enough to keep both vocals and verses in lockstep. It’s the lead track on their second EP, but with Rami sitting this one out due to health, the energy still doesn’t flinch. Expect ambition, not hesitation; this is BABYMONSTER pushing past the polite handshake stage. Genres : k-pop The music video is directed by Yang Soon Sik

16 . YOUNGOHM - เจิดจรัสDetails
 “เจิดจรัส” (“Brilliance”) situates YOUNGOHM amid pulsing hip-hop loops dressed in melodic flourishes borrowed from Thai classical motifs. The track lands as a stylistic pivot after “BANGKOK LEGACY” (2020) and “THATTHONG SOUND” (2023), signaling a shift more ornamental than revolutionary. YOUNGOHM, born Ratthaphong Phoorisit, first enters the public radar with 2017’s “Choey Moey,” a single delivered with both swagger and sidelong smirk. Genres : thai hip hop, thai trap, thai pop, t-pop The music video is directed by DIRECTORNET Featured on the album ไฟกลางคืน (Nakorn Dara)

17 . Jeff Satur - ของขวัญปีใหม่ (Golden Night)Details
 In “ของขวัญปีใหม่ (Golden Night),” Jeff Satur spins a jazzy Thai pop ballad whose title may evoke glitter and festivity, but whose lyrics stick closer to soft-lit melancholy than party hats. Behind the smooth production lies a wish for something a bit less Amazon-friendly: the return of a lost love, wrapped in memory and laid at the feet of a new year. The arrangement leans into mild nostalgia, with mellow instrumentation and a saxophone that might as well be wearing a turtleneck and sipping mulled wine. Satur’s vocals, warm and unhurried, do most of the emotional heavy lifting, while the production keeps one foot in the 1970s and the other in the Spotify era. He juggles roles as singer, songwriter, producer, and actor—not all at once, hopefully—but here keeps it restrained and personal, sidestepping the display case in favor of something quieter. Genres : t-pop, thai pop The music video is directed by @giimth |
18 . Stray Kids - CeremonyDetails
 Stray Kids return in August 2025 with “Ceremony,” a track that doesn’t bother with subtlety when it comes to celebrating wins under pressure. Resilience and self-confidence are the order of the day, with lines like “They put us in the desert but we survive” landing somewhere between defiant and matter-of-fact. The beat is muscular, the vocals pushy, and the group stays busy “giving our light,” not least through chants of “Hip hip hooray.” There’s “karma” too, naturally—served not as moral reckoning but as a nod to success earned rather than owed. In true Stray Kids fashion, “Ceremony” keeps the energy loud and the message louder, making space for triumph that doesn’t pretend to apologize for itself. Genres : k-pop, noise music The music video is directed by Seong Won-mo

19 . Blackpink - Pink VenomDetails
 “Pink Venom” blends hip-hop, pop rap, EDM, and dance with the sharp twang of traditional Korean instruments like the geomungo and gayageum. Released as the lead single from Blackpink‘s “Born Pink” in August 2022, the track weaves rhythmic rap deliveries with a hypnotic undercurrent. Commercially, it dominates the Billboard Global 200 for two weeks, a historic first for a girl group. The choreography earns recognition at the MTV Video Music Awards, while its visuals win at the MAMA Awards.
Genres : k-pop, hip-hop The music video is directed by Seo Hyun-Seung

20 . Twice - Strategy (w/ Megan Thee Stallion)Details
 Interpolating a 2000s R&B hook, “Strategy” pairs Twice with Megan Thee Stallion for a track that turns romantic cynicism into an art form. Slinky production underpins lyrics dissecting emotional one-upmanship, where love is less about affection and more about chess moves. The video shifts between neon-lit glamour and metaphor-laden vignettes, amplifying the song’s theme of relationships as a calculated game where sincerity is optional and strategy is key. Genres : Hip Hop, Pop, R&B,k-pop, k-pop girl group, pop, houston rap, rap, trap queen The music video is directed by Lafic
