ILLIT ranked first in "Show Music Center" and proved its popularity. In the MBC "Show Music Center" broadcast in Korea on the 27th, ILLIT won first place by beating BABYMONSTER and BOYNEXTDOOR with "Magnetic." NCT's Doyoung made his solo debut with an album filled with comfort and empathy for young people. He released the stage of "From Little Wave," which he participated in writing the lyrics for, and the title track "Little Light." Doyoung's refreshing vocals harmonized with the band session in "Little Light" stood out. (G)I-DLE's Yuqi also released her 1st solo album "YUQ1." Yuqi showcased her lovely occult concept in the stage of the title track "FREAK," adding charm with a band sound in a minimal composition. ZEROBASEONE conveyed explosive cool energy in the pre-release track "SWEAT" from their 3rd mini album. "SWEAT" is an exciting dance track in the house genre, depicting moments of dancing under the exploding sun, immersed only in dancing with "you," forgetting everything. Lee Chang-won conveyed warm sensitivity in "Kongryu," expressing the loneliness and embarrassment in the process of preparing for the end of life of an elderly couple at sunset, and the anticipation of meeting again in the next lifetime. BE'O incorporated various emotions towards love in "One Night." Cross-over group LA POEM challenged easy listening with their new song "Mirror," and FANTASY BOYS performed "Certainly, she is smiling at me" and "Is this an unknown first love or passing emotions."
