It's always fun, and sometimes unexpected, when K-Pop idols collaborate with other K-Pop idols during their solo endeavors. Some choose to have collaborations with members of their own group whilst others collaborate with members of others groups, bringing multistans together through the enjoyment of music. With this, here are some great recently released K-Pop collaborations for you to check out.

“Salty” - Chungha, Sunmi

The two pop princesses of K-Pop, Chungha and Sunmi, joined forces this year, on a track on Chungha’s fifth EP, Alivio. The second single "Salty" delivers delicious disco-pop sounds layered behind Chungha and Sunmi's sweet, melodious vocals that stunningly blend together to make the perfect K-Pop collaboration. Sunmi has always created the most perfect summer-feel tracks and her presence on "Salty" is no different, with this track radiating an infectious summer energy that I can't wait to play on repeat in the upcoming sunny season.

“i don't know” - J-Hope, Huh Yunjin

In his latest EP and documentary soundtrack Hope on the Street Vol.1, BTS icon j-hope delivers an addictive dance-pop single titled "i don't know" with the help of LE SERRAFIM member Huh Yunjin. "i don't know" opens with a French intro verse that immediately sets an intriguing tone that draws the listener into the song. From there, the track delves into a laid back, dance-pop beat with Yunjin's vocals taking center stage before j-hope joins in, adding a relaxed and charming vocal quality to the song. With its chilled yet dance filled melody, "i don't know" is a great track to listen to whether you are wanting to wind down or get up and dance.

“Obsession” - Minnie, Ten

i-dle (formerly (G)-IDLE) member Minnie collaborates with Ten from WayV and NCT on "Obsession," the closing track to Minnie’s debut solo album, HER. This full-English language track highlights the beautiful vocal chemistry between the two Thai singers through a soft, synthesized rock-pop sound that pleasantly falls up on the listeners ears. Whether you are a part of the i-dle's Neverland fandom, WayV’s WenZenNi fandom, NCT's NCTzen fandom, or just a casual listener of these two artists and their respective groups, “Obsession” will be a song for you to obsess over.
