New Era, New Sound: YOUNG POSSE Embraces Artistic Freedom
YOUNG POSSE is stepping out of the box—and stomping on it. The five-member K-hip hop girl group just dropped a lively highlight medley for their upcoming EP Growing Pain pt.1: FREE on their official YouTube channel today (June 6).
7 Tracks, One Message: No Rules in This Freestyle Chapter
From the get-go, the teaser video captures behind-the-scenes snippets from a colorful concept photo shoot. But it’s the sound bites from the EP’s seven tracks that really grab attention. Songs like “FREESTYLE,” “YSSR,” “ADHD,” “School’s Out,” “MON3Y 8ANK,” “soju,” and “Same Shit 中 Another One” give fans a taste of YOUNG POSSE’s daring soundscape.
Want chaotic energy and erratic EDM? “ADHD” has you covered. Crave old-school hip hop heat with funky drums? “MON3Y 8ANK” brings ‘90s nostalgia. “Soju” delivers unexpected charm by dropping cheeky lyrics on a dark drill beat (and yes, that’s a nod to Korea’s iconic rice liquor).
Title Track “FREESTYLE”: Mood? IDGAF Energy
At the core of this comeback is YOUNG POSSE’s title track, “FREESTYLE”, which perfectly captures the group’s rebellious heart. Blending punk hip hop with flavors of jazz, metal, and raw rap, the song challenges genre borders while making a statement: artistry should be fearless and free.
“We’re not doing this for approval,” the group seems to echo through every beat. “We’ll make music on our own terms.” It’s a musical mic drop moment that reinforces YOUNG POSSE’s title as Korea’s hip hop daughters, or as locals say, ‘gukhit ttalnaemi’.
Let the Growing Pains Begin
Growing Pain pt.1: FREE explores the emotional friction between self and society. It’s about finding your voice in the noise—and having fun while you’re at it. With their roots in authentic hip hop and their eyes on genre-defying artistry, YOUNG POSSE is proving they’re more than just a trend—they’re a movement.
The full EP officially drops on June 14 at 6 p.m. KST on major streaming platforms. So mark your calendars and get ready to experience freedom, YOUNG POSSE style.
