Listen to the complete playlist on Spotify below and on Apple Music.

This week in Cover, Gubin shares insights on the journey she has taken within the South Korean music industry, choosing to decline offers to become a K-Pop IDOL trainee in order to focus on her individual artistry. “I always felt a strong desire to express my own thoughts and emotions through music personally,” she states. “A personal connection with my audience is what I always wanted to achieve, and that is why I never dreamed of becoming a member of the group.”

The singer-songwriter also discussed the viral success of her debut single “I Really Like You” on TikTok, reminiscing about how “it made me really happy when I saw that so many people use my song in their videos.” However, she emphasizes the importance of staying grounded amidst early success. “I believe that if I pursue sincerity and creativity, the rest will follow,” she notes. “I just want to create music that I am proud of, which resonates with people, and not focus on the trends and expectations of the public.”
