How to play

Every song in the daily set works the same way:

  1. Press play to hear a clip of the song — up to 30 seconds long.

  2. Pick the track from four options, each shown as “title — idol”. Tapping an option locks in your guess.

  3. Guessed wrong? The question ends right there — your pick is crossed out, the correct answer is revealed, and the song counts as a miss.

  4. Every song you name right counts as one — no speed bonus. Get all ten and you finish the day 10 / 10.

You can replay the clip as many times as you like before answering — but every question gives you exactly one guess.

Where do the share card's achievement captions come from?

They're real internet and Kpop fandom slang — written by fans over the years, not by AI. Expressions like all-kill, bias wrecker, ult and 'it's giving' are documented fan and Gen-Z terms; we only arrange them into a short one-liner for each score. If a caption ever feels off or offensive, email us and we'll change it.Dictionary.com — Kpop slangKWave Tools — stan vocabularyBritannica — how Gen Z speaksEmail us to adjust a caption
