Here is Idol Rumble’s catered list of K-pop new releases for the week of 4/30/2023. You can access the full playlist on the top right of the video.

Rob’s Pick of the Week

BTOB - Wind and Wish

Another week of having to put up with my biased opinion when it comes to my favorite groups. After gifting Melodies with The Song when the full group reunited, we get this summer vibe. This is giving the fun of Only One for Me, but leaving room to show off their vocals. This song also gave us the goofy Yayaya challenge. If you’re not aware, look up the video of them freaking out Miyeon and Joohoney on M Countdown. Forever the goofballs of the industry.

Rob’s Second Pick of the Week

LE SSERAFIM - Unforgiven (ft. Nile Rodgers)

They’re back and in the wild west. Another powerful song in the catalog. I’m still surprised to see my IZ*ONE members adapting to these concepts. The spaghetti western concept might not suit a lot of peoples tastes, but this is a fun song. Hybe also put a big budget on this video, because it looks stunning. Cool drone shots, crazy looking CGI, and horses!

Rob’s Third Pick of the Week

Homezone - 아픈 봄 (ft. June)

There’s a lot of nice vibey songs on the playlist this week. This one makes me want to go hang out in a mood-lit lounge, or float down a lazy river or something.
