The king of collaborations, Taiwan‘s top youth star has joined the New Year’s resolution of the ‘Korean hip-hop daughters’. It‘s the group YOUNG POSSE.

The ‘Korean hip-hop daughters’ YOUNG POSSE are making a comeback with a super luxurious collaboration lineup. Looking at the details of their collaborations, it seems to reflect the ‘hip-hop’ spirit, which is the identity of the group, and it seems like they are coming back with a real ‘resolution’.

Young POSSE’s comeback D-day is March 2nd. The ambitious debut of the album with the special title of “Special Album” has been confirmed as the title song “COLD”.

The title song “COLD” draws attention as it features 10cm, the “featuring emperor” who has boasted the highest winning rate of close to 100%. As is well known, 10cm featured in hip-hop musician Big Naty‘s “Let’s Say It‘s Love”, which became a mega hit worthy of the “Song of the Year” in 2022. In line with this, people inside and outside of K-pop are paying close attention to the “synergy effect” that will come from 10cm’s joining, as they look forward to Youngpa‘s new song.

The music video for the new song “COLD” is also a hot topic. For the ‘Cold’ music video, Yingpa’s side has cast actress Tseng Jinghua, currently considered the best youth star in Taiwan, foreshadowing a narrative reminiscent of a movie.
