How To Produce A K Pop Song (Stray Kids, Enhypen, Ateez, Blackpink, Tomorrow X Together)
I wanted to dive into the process of making a production that could fit a k pop record in the style of artists like Stray Kids, Enhypen, Ateez, Blackpink, and Together X Tomorrow. In this video we dive into producing a dynamic song that has defined verses, pre-choruses, and choruses that have their own unique vibes, but work as a whole record together.
