Happy New Year! In 2025, ripple shared music from drama and film OSTs to K-pop idol groups like SAY MY NAME and DKB. This year, ripple will continue to introduce K-pop and K-OST across different genres to surf together! To make a great start to the new year, we selected songs that fit the mood of a fresh beginning. Listen through the list and pick the track you want to carry with you into 2026 🎉🎈
💨 RiRi – RUSH
The title track ‘RUSH’ from the first mini album by RiRi is the first song of the new year playlist. RiRi was formed by Serri of Dalshabet and Gyuri (actor Choi Yeoncheong). ‘RUSH’ carries an addictive chorus where girl-crush energy and soft emotion create a striking contrast. Moving forward to the new year, let’s listen to ‘RUSH’ and start the year strong.
| I feel that rush (Woo Woo) I like you more than love, No lie (Woo Woo) |
| ⌛ HANA – After Time |
Following JUKJAE, HANA of FIFTY FIFTY has joined the OST of the recently released film <Once We Were Us>. Her voice adds another layer of emotion to a film that already lingers in the mind. Like its lyrics, ‘After Time’ is a calm track that stays with you as we step into 2026.
As time goes by
everything may fade away
but it will stay in my heart
🚗 BELLE – RIDE
“Music is meant to be heard, not seen.” <Veiled Musician> is an audition show where only the voice matters. BELLE of KISS OF LIFE, who serves as a judge on <Veiled Musician>, released ‘RIDE’ together with contestant Seokchon-dong Kkijaengi. Originally released by SOLE in 2017, ‘RIDE’ is reinterpreted through BELLE’s unique R&B tone and Seokchon-dong Kkijaengi. With its refreshing melody and lyrics that make you want to go somewhere far, this version of ‘RIDE’ fits perfectly as a fresh song for the new year. Let’s listen to the new version of ‘RIDE’!
Where are you girl let’s ride a bike
come on
the weather is nice, let’s meet at Han River
🏃 Kim Shin Eui(Monni) – Don’t Stop
The first solo track ‘Don’t Stop’ by Kim Shin Eui, vocalist of MONNI, delivers an alternative rock sound. It moves through strong emotions and moments you can’t turn back, capturing the rush of youth with powerful energy. In 2026, enjoy the moment and listen to ‘Don’t Stop’, a song that speaks of freedom, passion, challenge, and hope.

There is still time left
