April Soundtrack: 5 K-Pop Albums To Stream

Make these new K-pop albums your next summer OST

This summer is still a little different from what we’re used to. Nonetheless, we can still bask in the joy (or pain, your pick) of the freshest, hottest season at home. You can kick it back with these Netflix titles dropping this month, best served with an ice cold drink of your choice. There’s also nothing like fun music to lift your mood as you pull through a sea of chores and tasks, whether for work or through another de-stressing passion project.

But it’s also likely that you’ve exhausted your favorite playlist by this time around and you want to listen to something new. Maybe you’re in the process of diversifying your next work-from-home or stay-at-home original soundtrack but don’t know where to start. Well, you’re in luck because K-pop’s got a lot of tracks fit for all moods for this season.

In that case, here are five K-pop albums that can be the OST of your summer.
