Lngshot named Spotify's latest Radar Korea artist

Spotify has selected rookie group Lngshot as the latest artist for Radar Korea, its program supporting emerging musicians, the global streaming platform announced Thursday.

Lngshot is a four-member boy group consisting of Ohyul, Ryul, Woojin and Louis. The group is the first K-pop act launched by American Korean rapper Jay Park under his new agency, More Vision.

“Celebrating our comeback with our fans at Spotify Closer and officially joining the Radar program marks an incredible milestone for us,” Lngshot said in the statement. “We have always believed in letting our music do the talking, and we are incredibly grateful to Spotify for supporting that vision on a global platform.”

Since debuting in January with the EP "Shot Callers," Lngshot has attracted attention for its R&B- and hip-hop-influenced sound. According to Spotify, the group has surpassed 500 million cumulative streams on the platform. Lngshot released its third EP, "S.W.I.S.H.," on Tuesday.

The group's name refers to an unlikely attempt at success, reflecting its ambition to challenge expectations and overcome seemingly impossible odds.

Radar is Spotify's global initiative designed to help rising artists expand their audiences, build their music careers and connect with fans. Previous participants include K-pop groups Le Sserafim and Aespa, as well as international artists such as The Kid Laroi, Lauv and Tyla.

In South Korea, indie rock band Can't Be Blue was selected for the program in May, while singer-songwriter Hanroro, who joined in June 2025, has since gained wider recognition in the domestic music scene.

As part of its Radar Korea campaign, Lngshot has featured on the cover of Spotify's Radar Korea playlist and appeared on a digital billboard in New York's Times Square, Tuesday.

Beginning Thursday, Spotify Korea will release a series of original videos highlighting the group's music and personalities through its official Instagram account.

Lngshot's music will also be featured on Spotify's Radar Global playlist, extending the group's exposure to listeners outside South Korea.
