STAYC debuted in November 2020 with their single “So Bad”, a fun synthpop song about the beginning of a relationship. They made a splashy return last week with “ASAP”, an upbeat track about wanting a genuine partner that’s destined to be one of K-pop’s songs of the Summer. We challenge you to listen without getting it stuck in your head for the rest of the day!

The group also released a bright, playful music video alongside the song, blending pastel backgrounds with edgy outfits, forming a cool contrast:

STAYC includes members J, Sumin, Seeun, Isa, Yoon, and Sieun, who range in age from 17 to 20. They’re the first group to come from High Up Entertainment, a music company founded in 2017, so it will be interesting to see the path their career takes! Aside from “So Bad” and “ASAP”, they’ve released 3 other songs; the “So Bad” single came with B-side “Like This”, while the “ASAP” single includes “So What” and “Love Fool”, as well as a rhythmic remix of “So Bad”.

Since releasing “ASAP”, STAYC has performed the single on several Korean music shows, with backdrops varying from a claw machine to doodles. We love their fun choreography and lively stage presence!
