The K-pop market is heating up in early summer as various artists make comebacks in the third week of June. Starting from June 15th, RIIZE, (G)I-DLE, 2PM Junho, and others are releasing new tracks centered on themes of youth, growth, love, and self-expression. RIIZE's second mini-album 'II' features the title track 'Do Your Dance,' delivering a message to 'believe in your own rhythm and express your life through your own dance,' with heavier performances emphasizing grown-up youth. STAYC's sixth single '2:LOVE' captures the excitement, anxiety, and certainty that come with love through their signature bright and cheerful energy, with a witty title derived from tennis scoring notation. (G)I-DLE's pre-release single 'Crow' challenges society's binary concepts of good and evil while declaring self-acceptance of darkness and desires through dark rock/pop sound and gothic visuals. 2PM Junho's digital single 'Midnight Ticket' unfolds confessions after midnight with jazz and R&B sensibility.
