Rising K-Pop Star SOORIN Shines on Inkigayo with Fresh Teen Spirit
Rookie K-pop sensation SOORIN has stepped into the spotlight, capturing Gen Z hearts with her effervescent charm. On June 25, SOORIN made her debut performance on the popular music show Inkigayo, performing her first single ‘Boys Can Be’ and instantly making a vivid impression.
SOORIN took the stage in a bright green floral-embroidered headscarf, vintage-frilled dress, and a dainty cardigan — an ensemble that radiated youthful energy and captured the essence of the trending Y2K-inspired highteen aesthetic. Her lively vocals, expressive facial gestures, and polished stage presence defied expectations for a rookie artist.
The choreography, which uses playful hand movements, stood out for its catchiness and has set the foundation for a viral social media dance challenge. Even with its rhythmically demanding sequences, SOORIN showcased unwavering live vocals, reinforcing her reputation as a powerful new soloist within Korea’s dynamic 5th-generation K-pop scene.
Her debut track ‘Boys Can Be’ blends bright, pop-rock melodies with robust rhythmic elements, delivering a song as refreshing as spring while introducing SOORIN’s unique sweetness and tone. The single reflects not only her personality but also her musical ambitions.
Prior to her official debut, SOORIN attracted attention through her invitation to perform at the upcoming 2025 Isegye Festival. As she continues promotions, fans can look forward to deeper engagement and more performances from this rising star.
