Welcome back to Fan Chant, a weekly column for K-pop fans, stans, and newbies alike. This week, I want to hear from you! There’s never been a better time to subscribe to my companion newsletter to get Fan Chant delivered right to your inbox each week.
What’s the song you absolutely can’t get out of your head these days, besides Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso?” Has there been a K-pop release that turned you from casual listener to full-on stan? (I’ll never forget the first time I heard Felix’s voice in the second verse of “God’s Menu.”) Who do you think dropped the best K-pop rap verse of 2024 so far, or delivered an award-worthy music video moment?
If I’m lucky, these are questions you’ll be able to answer for me. I know all my answers, but I found myself curious about what songs Fan Chant readers haven’t been able to pause lately. As we keep rolling through spring, I decided it could be fun to share a reader poll and take a wider K-pop pulse for the midpoint of 2024, which somehow already arrives in just a few months.
The survey will be sent out via email in the coming weeks, so if you’re interested in shouting out your favorite groups or turning the spotlight to an underrated release, be sure to subscribe today to make sure that you receive it. Once we have an interesting pool of data and opinions, we’ll share the results right here in the column.
I can’t wait to see what you’ve been loving and share the top results!

Off the heels of their killer Coachella debut, ATEEZ have confirmed a summer 2024 tour, and I absolutely plan to see you there, ATINY. Get the scoop on tickets here.
Song Rec of the Week:
I love this song so much. It’s definitely one of my favorite things TOMORROW X TOGETHER have dropped in a minute, and I’m so glad the members seem equally obsessed with it, too.
