Throwback Thursday: Yummy Yummy

“You’re so yummy, yummy, yummy in my tummy, tummy, tummy.” Let’s talk about some food-related K-Pop songs that we all know. There was a lot, so to sum it up was a hard task, but it was done. So, let’s take it back and chow down on these iconic food-related tracks. 

NCT Dream - “Chewing Gum” 

“Chew-chew-chew-chew-chewing gum.” Don’t you just love this song? NCT Dream, a sub-unit of the famous SM Entertainment boy group NCT, came into the scene with their hit debut track “Chewing Gum.” This upbeat, bubbly, and bright title track is a joy to listen to and puts a smile on everyone's faces. The ice cream background and candy theme are a sight and always a pleasure to listen to. It’s a fun track that will always remain iconic. 

Red Velvet - “Ice Cream Cake” 

Word for word, I tell you. This song is so addictive and fun. “I scream, you scream, gimme that, gimme that ice cream.” Come on, our girls did not come to play with this release. Red Velvet, an SM Entertainment girl group, released this track eight years ago, and many of us still listen to it like it was released yesterday. “Ice Cream Cake” is eccentric and remarkable. Red Velvet is known for doing out-of-the-box concepts, and this track is just that. If you didn’t want ice cream cake after this, you have to listen to the track again. 

ORANGE CARAMEL - “Catallena” 

Our quirky queens came through with this one. ORANGE CARAMEL, a former Pledis Entertainment girl group, dropped this sushi-themed music video and blew our minds. We all know and love this song. The many covers artists have done over the years show how impactful this song is. The overall concept of the video is so cool. Showing the girls as different kinds of sushi was so funny and unique. It was something that wasn't seen really in K-Pop and excited us all when it happened. 

Baekhyun - “Candy” 

“Girl, I’m your candy.” Baekhyun has done it once again and released a banger that we will never forget. Baekhyun, an SM Entertainment soloist and EXO member, released his track “Candy” on May 25, 2020, and oh wow, this song has been on loop. “Candy” is an upbeat R&B track that anyone can jam to. Baekhyun is known for his groovy dance tracks and his R&B. This track combined both genres and gave us a masterpiece. This is a bright and colorful track that we can all party to.

GFRIEND - “Apple” 

Graceful, dazzling, and beautiful are only a few of the words I can use to describe “Apple.” GFRIEND released their track “Apple” on July 13, 2020, and it's amazing. This laidback pop track is a sight that all need to hear. The all-white outfits, colorful flowers, and bright red apples come together for a seamless video that one can only love. GFRIEND are amazing vocalists, and this graceful track makes one want to levitate.
