2026 has just begun and it already promises to be a great year for those of us that came into the K-Pop world during Gen 3. Why am I bringing this up when referencing LNGSHOT, the first boy group debuting for MORE VISION? Because this quartet has been hand crafted by Jay Park, and whether you love him or hate him personally, there’s no denying that he’s the king of creating absolute bangers. For a short history lesson for newer fans, Jay Park is actually a former member of the JYP Entertainment boy group 2PM, before he left the group after a short time, returned to the U.S., and ultimately went on to open one of the most iconic agencies in K-Hip-Hop history in AOMG. So there is potential here for LNGSHOT, given that there’s no question Jay Park understands the complexities of the industry and what works. Jay Park remarks: “The name LNGSHOT means the odds might be slim, but you take the risk anyway. That’s the spirit behind it.”

I’ve been on a nostalgia kick lately for what some may consider the golden age of K-Hip/Hop and K-R&B back in 2016. It just felt like back then everyone was killing the game, and it hasn’t been quite the same for a number of years (looking at you for disappearing, DEAN). But upon listening to “[Moonwalkin'],” I immediately felt a rush of familiarity in the R&B melody. This track doesn’t feel like a K-Pop group attempting to release an R&B song; it feels more organic than that. It has a classic vibe, though I will warn that that includes some autotune for those that aren’t a fan of that musical element. I do also really like that the song is three-and-a-half minutes instead of the more popular two-minute releases this day and age, so there’s more time to digest the track and learn more about the talents of the four members Ohyul, Ryul, Woojin and Louis. I also must say I’m pleasantly surprised the track is full Korean, especially given that the pre-release had quite a bit of English lyrics.

The music video is mainly used to showcase the boys’ dance abilities, with choreography taking the main stage. Hip-hop street style is accompanied by some basic, sometimes futuristic backdrops. It’s basic, but there is beauty in that as it stands to simply showcase the group’s talent as the main focus. Before debut, the quartet shared a self-produced mixtape on their YouTube channel, as well as pre-release single “[Saucin’],” which currently sits at 3 million views on YouTube and was co-written by the members with Jay Park.
