NEONBLOOM

A five-member pop group with choreography-ready hooks and glittering synths. Pure sugar-rush energy, sung in English.

Played on Sunny Side Up with Sunny Okafor

Their story

NEONBLOOM formed in 2017 after five trainees from different countries were put together in a Seoul practice studio. Their 2018 debut mini-album Pastel Voltage found fans through dance covers, and 2020's Sugar Rush Overdrive turned shout-along hooks into their trademark. Third album Glitter Signal (2022) polished their layered harmonies and brought them to English-language radio. They remain a tight, fun-loving unit that writes hooks around the choreography first.

The band

  • Tess Okoye vocals

Latest from NEONBLOOM

  • Happy Friday, Bloomers! 💖 Five of us are crammed in the studio right now putting the final sparkle on our new EP, Glitter in the Morning Light. Mina is already testing dance breaks in the hallway, Dani is hiding extra synth layers in every chorus, and Hana keeps saying "one more harmony stack!" We can't wait for you to shout along. Also, thank you for sending "Green Light All the Way" to #5 in this week's Top 40. You are our favorite hook. ✨
