Debut girl group K-Pop A2O LITE has made a huge splash and grabbed public attention, Thecuy. The most recent achievement of the group’s first single, titled NEON, is reaching number three on the Billboard Global Excluding United States chart as of yesterday (27/10).
While we await new music from A2O LITE, here are five other K-pop songs that share a similar vibe to NEON. Curious about which tracks they are? Check out the full details below, Thecuy!
1. Girls’ Generation – The Boys

A2O LITE’s debut performance in the K-pop music scene has stunned the public. The nine-member girl group brings to mind the earlier Lee Soo Man–created girl group, Girls’ Generation.
Moreover, NEON kicks off with a powerful hook that mirrors Girls’ Generation’s track The Boys. The vocal harmony part of A2O LITE right before the bridge in NEON gives a familiar feeling akin to the climactic section near the end of The Boys, both featuring alternating vocal runs among the members.

<p>A2O LITE's debut track, <em>NEON</em>, brings to mind many hits from the second generation of K-pop, including Super Junior's <em>Mr. Simple</em>.</p>
It’s not the repetitive lyrics that are similar, but the modernly arranged musical instruments of both tracks, which incorporate synthesizer sounds to create a retro feel.
The most striking similarity between NEON and Mr. Simple lies in their energetic dance break sections, featuring dramatic sound effects and sharp beats, Thecuy.
3. SHINee – Lucifer

The rhythm of NEON aligns with SHINee’s legendary song Lucifer, Thecuy. Both NEON and Lucifer feature a progressive tempo that instantly captivates listeners upon first hearing.
The music of both songs exudes a sophisticated and stylish vibe, Thecuy. A2O LITE’s confident and cool atmosphere blends seamlessly with SHINee’s energy when they perform Lucifer. In short, Lucifer finds its girl group counterpart in NEON.
4. f(x) – Electric Shock

The staccato vocal technique employed by A2O LITE members during the verse of NEON, accompanied by game-like musical textures, lifts the melody of f(x)’s Electric Shock back into the spotlight. The staccato verses in both tracks create an engaging, interactive feel for listeners.
This choppy yet rhythm‑aligned singing adds a playful quality to the songs, perfectly matching the youthful energy presented in both NEON and Electric Shock.
5. aespa – Black Mamba

A2O LITE debuts with the futuristic concept of the single NEON, Thecuy. This futuristic vibe aligns well with aespa’s pioneering musical style in Black Mamba.
As the producer behind both tracks, Lee Soo Man appears to continue the musical lineage left unfinished with aespa by guiding A2O LITE. Moreover, A2O LITE’s vocal technique mirrors that of aespa’s members, as both groups’ vocalists were trained by Yoo Young Jin. Consequently, the musical vibe of A2O LITE’s debut song and aespa’s track feel familiar to each other, Thecuy.
Thecuy, here are five K‑pop songs that make great companions for listening to A2O LITE’s NEON thanks to their matching vibes. Don’t forget to add them to your playlist, okay!
