A recent release, but these two K-pop artists had to be on this list. BTS’ RM collaborated with the celebrated singer So!YoON for her latest solo album.

The music video was the number one trending video on YouTube worldwide, something that is very common for RM’s songs.

A few members already made their solo debuts last year, and now fans are excited to see what Jimin has to offer. His first solo album ‘FACE’ is already making waves in the music space. The album will release on 24 March.

GOT7’s BamBam will release his first full-length solo album ‘Sour & Sweet’ on 28 March. He is amongst the most followed K-pop artists and his fans are excited about his new work. The new album will contain eight songs, including the title track ‘Sour & Sweet’. BamBam has worked on each song in a way that the entire album narrates a story. The intro song is titled ‘Feather’ and the last song is titled ‘Wings’.
