K-Pop Quiz: Guess the Song & Trivia

A K-pop quiz is the ultimate 'name the group and the member' test. Rotating line-ups and title tracks that fans tell from b-sides in a heartbeat make it one of the most competitive rounds to guess. The hooks give themselves away, from the disco bounce of BTS's 'Dynamite' to the chant of BLACKPINK's 'DDU-DU DDU-DU' to NewJeans' 'Super Shy'. The traps are the units, the English versions and the solo releases that still count. Guess the K-pop song across four generations of idols, name the group before the chorus, and see whether the b-sides push your score past the title tracks. Press play and find out.
