From debut to now
- 2019BIM BAM BUM launched the group as Woollim's new girl team, leading with bright pop and the presence of a large lineup.
- 2020Red Punch and Blue Punch put harder dance tracks next to summer pop, widening what the group could do on stage.
- 2021Ring Ring pushed further into retro synth pop, while Bubble Up! opened a door into the Japanese catalogue.
- 2022A Korean comeback overlapped with Japanese singles and albums, so the K-pop and J-pop threads ran side by side.
- 2023BOOM became the signature song of the later years, and a Performance MV added to the official video lineup.
- 2024Juri left and several members reached the end of their contracts, so the page now follows a run that opened in 2019 and closed in 2024.

KPOP DISCOVER's Rocket Punch note
What holds Rocket Punch together is a clean, breezy tone and a gradual turn toward retro pop. Woollim Entertainment launched the six-piece girl group in August 2019, and the name fits the music: brisk songs and open expressions on stage are the way in.
The catalogue splits cleanly by mood. There is the cool rush of the debut BIM BAM BUM, the hard beat of BOUNCY, the summer heat of JUICY, the retro synth pop of Ring Ring. Japanese work such as Bubble Up! sits in there too, so the K-pop and J-pop threads can be followed together.
In May 2024 Juri left at the end of her contract, and later that year the contracts of several more members ended, closing a run that had opened in 2019. Playing BIM BAM BUM, then BOUNCY, then Ring Ring traces the move from cool brightness through a harder beat to retro pop.
Editors' take BIM BAM BUM / BOUNCY / Ring Ring — three songs tracing the shift from cool brightness to retro synth pop, from Woollim's six-piece girl group, active from 2019 to 2024.
Trivia worth knowing
Entry point
BIM BAM BUM is a bright debut single whose video captures the first shape of Rocket Punch clearly.
Tone
From Ring Ring onwards the retro synth colour deepens, and the line running towards CHIQUITA and FLASH becomes visible.
Japan
Treating Bubble Up!, Fiore and Doki Doki Love as Japanese releases keeps the scope of their work tidy.
Video
Several performance videos exist, so switching between the single cut and the performance cut is worthwhile.
Members
Juri is known as an AKB48 alumna, a key member for understanding how listeners in Japan first arrive here.
Archive
After the contracts ended at the close of 2024, reading the run from debut to BOOM as one history gives the full picture.

Japan activity score
KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 78/ 241 groups
No. 78 of 241 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 32%)
- 4Japanese releases
- 5Japan-related tracks
- 1Members from Japan
- 2Official Japanese accounts
The denominator is the 241 groups, out of 564 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
