This time, we’re focused on some of our faves from the 4th generation and all their scarily great songs. And we have a lot to get through, so let’s get started! No other song could be starting this list other than ‘Up All Night’ by Stray Kids.
SEVENTEEN’S Jeonghan And Joshua’s New Unit JxJ Debuts With DREAMSCAPE
One of our favorite things about SEVENTEEN is how each new unit brings a whole new vibe to the table. And 2026 has been a big year for that, from DxS to V8, and now with the debut of Jeonghan and Joshua’s JxJ unit and their mini album, DREAMSCAPE. A very appropriate name for an album made by these two dreamers if you ask us.
15 3rd Gen K-Pop Songs You Need On Your Halloween Playlist
You know we love K-Pop. And you know we love Halloween. So is it really that surprising that we would combine the two and make a Halloween playlist featuring our favorite 3rd gen K-Pop songs? There’s a lot of 3rd gen songs that fit the haunting vibes we love so much, so let’s get to it! No other song could be first on our list than ‘Voodoo Doll’ by VIXX.

We Want To Say ‘Thank You’ To Jackson Wang For His New Single

No, seriously, he’s said in a recent live he already has three albums ready.

How Jackson Wang’s Magic Man Made Us ‘Come Alive’

We could only ever start this off with ‘Alone’ if we’re being honest. And it may or may not have something to do with the song’s MV.

Exclusive Interview: Earth To Eve Speaks To Her Fellow 'First Generation Degenerate's
Earth to Eve is one of those artists that we just knew we had to learn more about as soon as we first heard her sing. We got even more invested when we heard her songs about current affairs, the state of the world, and how we, as young adults, feel on a daily basis. From the 1930s-inspired ‘Never Change For A Man’ to the “no bullsh*t” sound and lyrics of ‘No Kings,’ Eve is always unapologetically herself in a way that inspires us to keep going even through the tough times.
