K-pop Recommendations: Pop
Straight pop, being in the name, is pretty common in k-pop; it covers Latin pop, noise music, retro sounds, and so much more. It’s often thought of as being bubbly, dancy, and effervescent. Think What Is Love by TWICE, Step by KARA, or Married To The Music by SHINee.

Description: The best way to describe BoyNextDoor’s genre is probably “kdrama worthy”; they have a warmhearted, joyful sound brimming with love that never fails to make me smile, at least.
Description: a cross between the bubblegum of TWICE and the “kdrama sound” of BoyNextDoor, NCT Dream does pop, but often tempers it with classic hip-hop, EDM, or occasionally other genres like ballads.
