BE'O drops new digital single 'Cherry Cola'

BE'O released digital single Cherry Cola on July 3, 2026. The 25-year-old singer, born April 27, 2000 and signed to Big Planet Made Entertainment, announced it himself: "금방 왔지? 얼른 들어봐" — roughly, "Back already? Go listen."

Cherry Cola arrives after a string of releases that established BE'O as one of Korean hip-hop's most decorated solo artists. He debuted in 2020 with Monster, then broke through with Counting Stars in December 2021 (night-sky imagery, falsetto rap). He placed 3rd on Show Me the Money 10 before the year ended. 2022 brought the single Love Me, his debut mini-album FIVE SENSES (featuring the nostalgia-themed track Nostalgia), and a sweep at year-end ceremonies: K Global Hip Hop Award at the K Global Heart Dream Awards, Best Hip Hop Artist at the Genie Music Awards, and 6th place at the Melon Music Awards. The 2023 Golden Disc Awards named him Best Solo Artist. The Seoul Music Awards gave him the R&B Hip Hop prize.

His second EP, Affection, landed in April 2024. Seven tracks, all produced by BE'O himself, with features from 김필선, 방예담, Paul Blanco, BIG Naughty, and others. Then 2025 brought ICONIC (아이코닉) featuring 창모, released alongside a music video.

Cherry Cola is his first new material in 2026. His official fanclub, '우산' (Umbrella)—a name BE'O chose himself via Instagram Live—marks its anniversary every May 1.
