Here is Idol Rumble’s catered list of K-pop new releases for the week of 7/2/2023. You can access the full playlist on the top right of the video.

Rob’s Pick of the Week

Junny - Invitation (ft. Gaeko)

I had to double check that this wasn’t already released a long time ago. If you were on social media at all in the last few years, you’ve probably seen a video with the first few bars as a background song. I guess this is the actual release after being just the few bars as a contest previously. Those first few seconds are worth the price of admission, but the rest of the song is definitely a cohesive product. It’s rnb, but it’s not slow. It’s got that vibe of just lounging around.

Rob’s Additional Picks of the Week

This was an abnormal week for new releases. I think this is the most I’ve ever approved for the playlist so far. It’s also a week where there were a lot of picks, so here’s just a bunch of additional picks in no particular order. Hey, there’s even a jazz song that gave me the ratatouille flashback sequence of my time listening to Casiopea vs T-Square. Wild week.
