Happy New Year, and welcome to the best year of Wicked Guilty Pleasures yet.
We're opening with Twice breakout star Chaeyoung, who had in my opinion the greatest Korean album of 2025 with her solo debut LIL FANTASY vol.1 - and this album and its main single (which we are featuring today) are just great.
In atypical K-Pop fashion, Chaeyoung didn't just show up at the studio and sing and dance like the good little idol. No, she was a producer and co-writer of all the songs on this album, including this one, on which she co-wrote both lyrics and music and co-designed the vocal arrangement.... AND produced this song!
The video is clearly evocative of Alice In Wonderland. We all get that, right? It's almost like Chaeyoung is leaning into the whole li'l fantasy thing.
She may be a complete artist.... no doubts there.
But also, she's a K-Pop idol and we know how those live performances go.
What you DON'T usually see is an excited, engaged crowd at these performances, but here we are.
