The first girl group from PSY’s P Nation is set to make their debut in about a week, but as with so many other K-pop rookies they’ve released a pre-debut taster. Bet You’ll Regret It (지금을 놓치면 분명 너 후회할 거야) showcases a possible sound for the group that takes cues from the poppier side of BLACKPINK’s oeuvre. There’s certainly potential here but the song’s limited runtime flattens its ambition.
At just over two minutes, Bet You’ll Regret It is as much teaser as it is song. Its pop/rock sound hearkens back to an earlier K-pop generation, opting for a more melodic approach that retraces tropes rather than offering something new. The track’s construction is very plug-and-play, moving through distinct segments that are as predictable as they are pleasant. The pre-chorus feels especially derivative, but I guess if it’s not broken why fix it? In general, I tend to enjoy the steps Bet You’ll Regret It is taking. I just wish it took them in a more adventurous way.
In particular, the song’s chorus needs a major kick in the butt. It’s trussed up with guitar to make it sound big, but the melody is way too flat to stick. And without the running time necessary to tease out the refrain’s charms, Bet You’ll Regret It simply fizzles out with no lasting impact. It does a decent job teasing what will hopefully become a standout 2025 rookie group, but P Nation needs to find Baby DONT Cry stronger material in the future.

So Soyeon just reheating Idle nachos and call it a day?

I mean. Soyeon’s biggest flaws are 1) Wanting the songs to mean something and 2) only having one idea for about 18-24 months at a time.
This current idea is better than whatever the heck Lion/Hwaa/Hann/Oh My God was, but still, we’re in a Tomboy/Allergy/Queencard with a sprinkle of Klaxon season for whatever she writes for at least another 6 months, it seems.
I happen to like Klaxon and Wife and Queencard a lot more than anything before Nxde, but it’s still just one idea.

Your take lost it’s meaning the moment you said Klaxon,Wife and Queencard are better then HWAA,HANN,LION AND Oh my God. Those songs had much better writing and production than those three dumpster fires.

I’m sorry, but that group name will always make me automatically think of the U-Kiss song.

But the song itself doesn’t take up the three minutes of the mv. The song is only a little over two minutes.

I’m honestly obsessed with this song and it is the first thing i thought of when I saw that group’s name. It is crazy to thing that this gem is a b-side. I’m a very casual EXO listener, I haven’t dived into their discography at all and I discovered this song by accident and I feel nobody talks about it because it is so good? I like it better than a lot of their title tracks. So much emotion.

It was trending in China for a hot minute last month because WayV Xiaojun and Lars Huang covered the EXO-M version for Treasured Voice! Nice that it helped people (re)discover how good it is.

song is okay, i can hear its written by soyeon.
but do groups just not have identities anymore? because with everything combined its just so… nothing. like the ‘were just regular teen girls ‘ has been done by everyone else already and paired with a very generic song it just leaves me wondering what the idea of this group even is.

childish BlackPink… Song is like a slowmo Lovesick Girls. Which could be great if it went all the way. Don’t hate it but won’t remember it in a week.

It’s actually a pretty good song if you speed it up to 1.1x on the youtube speed slider. Unfortunately that makes the song an ever shorter 1:55.
For a Soyeon song, its also more tolerable than most. Very major key. I hope she might be beginning to channel her inner Go-go’s or Toni Basil. Oh mickey you’re so fine. The verses here sound like that, not the prechorus or chorus here.
