We started of the show with two tracks from The Boyz who get to keep using their name following their departure to new label One Hundred. A trademark agreement has been reached, so can still have access to their back catalogue as well as all the IP usage associated with The Boyz band name. We played Trigger and Last Kiss to celebrate.

Yeji of Itzy was up next with her solo song ‘Think About You’ which is on the OST for new KDrama ‘Love Your Enemy’. Minho of mega group Shinee, had his time with ‘Something About You, a deep funky new track from his first ever solo album. Next up The8 of Seventeen released his EP with three tracks, one of which has a feature from Vernon his bandmate. We played ‘Orbit’ which has a feature with Jinjibewater. We circled back with the hypnotic afro beats vibe of ‘Spell’.

The girls from OG group Twice are back. Still going strong since their formation in 2015, Strategy is taken from their new album of the same name and has a feature from Megan Thee Stallion. As Yuna was celebrating her birthday, we played my favourite ‘Gold’ from Itzy produced by the iconic Dem Jointz.

Lun8 were back with new release ‘Fear and Greed’, no EP or Album news. Cravity also returned with new track ‘Now or Never. SM Towns British Boyband, Dear Alice are set to officially debut, but we played ‘Vibes’ from the documentary following their formation on Amazon Prime ‘Made in Korea – the Kpop Experience’.

We kicked up the tempo with dance track ‘Crazy’ from Le Sserafim, then went all sensual with Taemin and his track ‘Move’. Taemin performs in London on 9 March 2025. Also hitting London in March, we have Aespa, so spun Karina’s solo ‘Up’ to wrap up the show.

Tune next week for our Spotify Wrapped list of faves we have listened to over the year. Live on Hoxton Radio every Monday at 5pm up to 23rd December, then a break until 6th Jan.
