and since (g)i-dle have been doing so much lately, i am going to put this out into the universe once again: studio version of 'walking'.

'dynamite' is okay i guess.

10. BTS - Dynamite
9. OnlyOneOf - a sOng Of ice&fire
8. Woo - Used To (feat. CIFIKA)
7. Oneus - To Be Or Not To Be
6. SoRi - Initial S
5. Dreamcatcher - BOCA
4. Dreamcatcher - Can't get you out of my mind
3. Rocket Punch - Summer Punch!
2. Itzy - Don't Give A What
1. (G)I-DLE - DUMDi DUMDi

a lot of middling boy group releases this month.

mostly just been keeping up with (g)i-dle who had a big month - 6 wins, 100k album sales, 13th on melon even after 4 weeks, finally getting more public broadcast gigs... then there's K/DA, tung-tung, soyeon writing namjoo's solo, and most importantly, soyeon doing more vlives. she dips in for like 20 minutes at a time but i'll take it.

also CLC comeback! they got a new logo and official colours which is probably a good sign that they're not just going to be riding out the contracts?

also also hyunseung reactivated his ig and did a live and fuck i've missed him i'm going to cry

outside of cube:

BVNDIT & NATTY - Psycho + U Go Girl + Kick It
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqGefoDbA5k
this is finally up.

yeah, i need to a big mid-year sort if i want to avoid the massive end-year sort. top of the list is probably accurate enough for this though:

10. Gfriend - Labyrinth
9. WJSN - Butterfly
8. Dreamcatcher - Scream
7. NCT Dream - Ridin'
6. Ateez - Horizon
5. WJSN - Pantomime
4. Apink - Dumhdurum
3. (G)I-DLE - Oh my god
2. Pentagon - Dr. Bebe
1. Dreamnote - Wish

bunch of little things i meant to post at some point, and now i can't remember them all but uhh

- lee haein is signed to an agency and is preparing for debut - really felt like she was done with the industry after detailing her experience on idol school. i still think about the stone group that could have been now and then.

- song jieun comeback in 2 days! i've always liked her solo stuff and i feel like secret gets forgotten these days, maybe because a lot of their post-group career was stalled by legal battles with TSE.

- there was that natty x bvndit cover of 'kick it' but i was waiting for an official upload anyway

Hyo - Dessert (feat. Loopy, Soyeon)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VmLuWDkHYQ
pretty big deal for me, featuring my 2nd gen gg bias, my 4th gen gg bias, and some mumble rapper - also how about a markyong x soyeon collab

Weeekly - Hello

weeekly doing follow-up promotions with the best song on the album.

can't believe that was how jimin chose to apologize, though the whole thing sounded like an ambush. how was she this long in the industry without being able to at least fake contrition, but i guess she thought mina would drop it quietly as to not make more noise. hope mina is being looked after, and yeah, this sucks man.

mina was probably my second bias after youkyung (check out her drum covers on youtube imo), who alluded to the situation on her instagram.

i am watching cloy currently and omg yes.

last few i've watched from best to worst:

extracurricular - gets really dark and has a more gritty prestige-y vibe than what i'm usually looking for in a drama, but it's some quality high school noir. would like a second season after how it ended.

itaewon class - has a cool ass protagonist that you really want to root for.

365: repeat the year - 10 strangers are offered a chance to send their consciousness back exactly one year and relive it, but when they do their lives twist unexpectedly. has sort of a zero escape vibe. i think it leans on misdirection with extradiagetic stuff like an overbearing soundtrack a bit too often, but it's a mostly satisfying sci-fi murder mystery.

also not to spoil the list too much, but if i only recommend one drama: because this is my first life.

i was going to say isn't that the group with the somehow even lesser-known former good day members, but turns out i was thinking of a different nugu group and this is the one with former-YG and pd48's jinny.

wannabe > icy > dalla dalla for me, which is a nice trajectory.

i finally made the topic, but have barely been listening or paying attention to anything lmao. been watching a lot of kdramas though - might fuck around and make a ranked list.

i really could have used the last topic title forever, seeing as YG just kicked the can down the road with blackpink's release schedule again, and i'm betting half of it won't happen at all anyway.

here's the april list for posterity since there was no topic:
10. (G)I-DLE - Luv U
9. April - Oops I'm Sorry
8. Chungha - Stay Tonight
7. (G)I-DLE - Maybe
6. Max - Chocolate
5. NCT Dream - Love Again
4. NCT Dream - Ridin'
3. HA:TFELT - Life Sucks
2. Apink - Dumhdurum
1. (G)I-DLE - Oh my god

and here's my favourite non-secret folder (g)i-dle video:

the debut i've been waiting for the longest, and the song is p. good

tbh the thing that delayed the topic was just not having a topic title in mind. i was thinking 'okay, is there something i can do with this NT theme in her teasers' but didn't have anything.
