FAQs

Not necessarily. Many hits (like those from BTS, TWICE, and Stray Kids) contain significant English lyrics. Focus on the energy and the hook. If the guests can hum the chorus, the language doesn’t matter.

Try “Anchor Tracks.” Transition from Bruno Mars into BTS, or from Dua Lipa into LE SSERAFIM. Their production styles are very similar, keeping the flow seamless.

While Gen Z and Millennials will be your primary K-pop fans, songs like “Dynamite” and “Gangnam Style” have “cross-generational appeal” and will get older guests moving too.
