misc.
1. January 23, 2007 - Epik High's Love Love Love
'Love Love Love' is off of Epik High's fourth album Remapping the Human Soul. Aside from 'Love Love Love', their other single 'Fan' faired well with fans as well! Though the album faced censorship issues for its controversial viewpoints, the album still earned the title of third best-selling album of 2007 in Korea.
2. February 13, 2007 - Wonder Girls' Irony
It's hard to believe that new K-Pop fans these days don't know that a 14-year-old HyunA was in Wonder Girls or that new fans haven't heard this song prior to Produce 101's revamped versions. 'Irony' was the debut single off of Wonder Girls' album The Wonder Years. The album's track listing also consisted of 'Bad Boy' (released March 22, 2007), 'It's Not Love' (released April 27, 2007), 'Tell Me' (released September 13, 2007), and"This Fool" (released December 10, 2007). Frankly, every Wonder Girls song from this era is a feel-good sing-along.

Aside from Wonder Girls, other artists who released famous singles in February of 2007 include Ivy ft. Wheesung with 'Sonata of Temptation' and Super Junior-T's 'Rokuko'.
3. March 29, 2007 - KARA's Break It
'Break It' was a track off of KARA's debut solo album 'The First Bloooooming.' Their music video for 'Break It' was especially memorable as each member gave off an aura of feminine power! Plus, we love their baggy clothes that remind us of our younger days. KARA also released 'If U Wanna' and 'Secret World' as singles from their solo album as well, earning them their own title away from comparisons to label mates Fin.K.L.

Younha's 'Password 486' (released March 15, 2007) also debuted a studio album a decade ago the same month.
4. April 1, 2007 - Wheesung ft. Taru and Humming Urban Stereo's Love Seat
Wheesung's Love Seat came out on April Fool's of 2007. This lovely track from then M-Boat signed artist Choi Hwi-sung was a favorite of many a decade ago! Released as a digital single, this track still has us dancing in 2017!

SG Wannabe's 'Grace' and 'Arirang' both released on April 6, 2007 as well! SG Wannabe won a second Daesang at the Golden Disk Awards that year.
5. May 17, 2007 - Leessang ft. Ali's Ballerino
Off of South Korean hip-hop duo Leessang's fourth studio album entitled Black Sun, the track 'Ballerino'. Gary of Leessang later revealed he wrong Ballerino about an ex-girlfriend of 7 years. As of this year, the duo is known to have disbanded and have been working on their own solo endeavors.

May is also the month that SeeYa released their second studio album, Lovely Sweet Heart! Tracks like 'Love's Greeting' and 'Ice Doll' will forever be in our hearts.
6. June 5, 2007 - F.T. Island's Lovesick
On June 5, 2007, F.T. Island released their first studio album. Cheerful Sensibility. Consisting of rock ballads and pop-rock songs, the album's songs were mostly composed by Japanese producers. The group's biggest single off of Cheerful Sensibility was 'Lovesick', which helped them sell roughly 80 thousand copies of their album and landing them the sixth best-selling album in 2007.
7. July 13, 2007 - Lee Min-Woo (M) ft. Tablo's The 'M' Style
The 'M' Style was the definitive song for Min-Woo (of Shinhwa) in 2007. The track paired perfectly with his stylish and sexy music video and worked to reflect his cool guy image. Not to mention, we love Tablo's feature on this track as well!
8. August 16, 2007 - Big Bang's Lies
We can't believe it's been 10 years since' Always,' Big Bang's first EP was released. The album, released under YG Entertainment, was led by the main single: 'Lies'. The track, composed by G-Dragon, topped online charts for two months and won the group Song of the Year at the 2007 Mnet Asian Music Awards. The impact of 'Lies' on the sound of today's K-Pop is enormous!

We can't forget the other hits that came out in August of 2007! Girls' Generation debuted in 2007 with 'Into the New World' showing us that the 9 member group would stun audiences worldwide. Lee Seung-gi also released a third studio album towards the middle of the month with hits like 'White Lie' and 'Why... Are You Leaving'.
9. September 6, 2007 - Brown Eyed Girls' I Got Fooled By You
Brown Eyed Girls' single 'I Got Fooled By You' was on their 2007 release Leave Ms. Kim. The track had the signature R&B feel that was popular in K-Pop tracks at the time. Brown Eyed Girls' subsequently released 'Oasis' and 'It's Mine' as singles off the same album the same month.

Brown Eyed Girls weren't the only ones to release tracks in September! The busy month is also the birth month of Super Junior's 'Don't Don' and 'Marry U'. Wheesung, 8Eight, Wonder Girls, and Sunny Hill all released albums in September of 2007 as well.
10. October 25, 2007 - Supernova's HIT
Supernova has the classic Backstreet Boys-esque feel with their 2007 release of HIT. The single served as the group's debut track, though the group is better known for their collaboration with T-ARA entitled, 'TTL (Time To Love)'; however this track was not made until 2 years later in 2009.
11. November 1, 2007 - Girls' Generation's Girls' Generation
Girls' Generation self-entitled album Girls' Generation was released November 1, 2007, and was later reissued in early 2008. Though 'Into the New World' served as the group's debut single, the track 'Girls' Generation' put them on the forefront of K-Pop for the next decade. The track is actually produced by Lee Seung-Chul and Song Jae Jun.

BoA, Tablo, Kim Junsu, and Jin Bora teamed up for a number of releases in November of 2007 coming out with 'Talk Play Love', 'Promise U', and 'Daydream'. Lee Seung-gi came out with 'Unfinished Story' on November 14, 2007, and Big Bang released 'Last Farewell' on the 22nd.
