New to LNGSHOT? Start With These 5 Songs
Six months after debuting, LNGSHOT has quietly become one of K-POP's rookie groups to watch.
The quartet—leader Ohyul, rapper Ryul, all-rounder Woojin and youngest member Louis—made its debut on Jan. 13, 2026, with the EP "SHOT CALLERS" as MORE VISION's first boy group. Since then, the members have steadily built their own identity through songwriting, live performances and collaborations with label founder Jay Park, while blending hip-hop, R&B and melodic pop into a sound that's distinctly their own.
From pre-debut mixtapes to polished title tracks, LNGSHOT's discography already offers a solid introduction to the group's style. If you're not sure where to begin, start with these five songs.
1. "NEXT 2 U"
From "4SHOBOIZ MIXTAPE" (Originally released on YouTube in November 2025; officially released January 2026)
Before its official debut, LNGSHOT introduced itself through "4SHOBOIZ MIXTAPE," an eight-track project recorded during the members' trainee days. Among its standout tracks is "NEXT 2 U," a song Ohyul and Louis originally made "as a joke." Fans embraced its easygoing charm, and what began as a playful pre-debut project has since grown into one of the group's most-loved songs, earning millions of Spotify streams. After the mixtape reached its promised YouTube viewership milestone, it was officially released on streaming platforms, giving new listeners a chance to discover one of LNGSHOT's earliest fan favorites.
2. "Moonwalkin'"
From the debut EP "SHOT CALLERS" (Released January 2026)
Every group has that one song new fans are told to hear first. For LNGSHOT, it's "Moonwalkin'." The title track of "SHOT CALLERS" made a strong first impression with confident rap, melodic hooks and a performance that highlighted each member's strengths. It's still the song most closely associated with the group and the easiest way to understand why LNGSHOT has continued to build momentum since its debut.
3. "FaceTime"
From the debut EP "SHOT CALLERS" (Released January 2026)
After the intensity of "Moonwalkin'," "FaceTime" slows things down. Built around smooth R&B production and layered harmonies, the song lets the members' vocals take center stage while revealing a softer side of the group's music. It's become a fan favorite for its understated production and replay value, proving LNGSHOT is just as comfortable with laid-back tracks as it is with high-energy performances.
4. "Never Let Go"
From the debut EP "SHOT CALLERS" (Released January 2026)
Closing "SHOT CALLERS" on an emotional note, "Never Let Go" pairs heartfelt vocals with a music video featuring pre-debut footage of the members. The song reflects the group's journey before stepping into the spotlight and has become one of LNGSHOT's most meaningful releases. For many SHOTTIES, it's the track that best captures the group's sincerity and growth.
5. "Moya"
From "4SHOBOIZ Vol. 2: 4SHOVILLE" (Released May 2026)
Released as part of the collaborative mixtape with Jay Park, "Moya" finds LNGSHOT sounding more confident than ever. The playful hip-hop track captures the easy chemistry between the group and its label founder while showing how much the members have grown in just a few months. It's catchy, easy to replay and one of the clearest examples of LNGSHOT's relaxed charm.
What Makes Them Different
One of LNGSHOT's biggest strengths is the dynamic that comes with having four members. Each has room to stand out, whether on stage or in casual content like the "4SHOCOVER" series, and that chemistry carries over into the music itself.
The members have also begun contributing to songwriting and composition early in their careers, an approach encouraged by MORE VISION. That creative freedom is especially evident in projects like "4SHOBOIZ Vol. 2: 4SHOVILLE," where the collaboration with Jay Park feels like artists creating together rather than a typical senior-junior partnership.
Rather than relying on elaborate storylines, LNGSHOT has focused on building its identity through music, performance and steady artistic growth. The group is currently preparing its next album and is also set to join Jay Park as a special guest on the "Serenades & Body Rolls" world tour, which will take it across North America, Latin America and Europe beginning in September. With plenty more on the horizon, these five songs are the perfect place to start.
