jumping into new younha now

i like it a lot

the first and last song are my favorite

---

will listen to both of those later, but for now uhh X1 is disbanding.

kinda surprised, but i guess while the fanbase is still there, the controversy would make it hard to land a lot of gigs.

---

Making my way through your top 100 at work, some good stuff I missed as always.

Going to Korea at the end of the week and doing a one day dance class, which song should I pick?

Thumbs Up - Momoland
Playing with Fire - Blackpink
Boy with Luv - BTS
Hip - MAMAMOO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfxdetmFJFo

man, hard to imagine this group without saya and esp. erisa

---

3. OnlyOneOf - dOra maar
2. Ateez - Horizon
1. DreamNote - Wish

---

belatedly found out the new hyukoh came out a few days ago so nvm list is no longer accurate

---

what's the deal with dOra maar, like is it going to get an mv or

Gfriend - Labyrinth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4fuQh8pvBc

crossroads ain't bad, but this should have been the title track

---

not a whole lot of overlap between our lists! looks like it was a slightly better year for debuts for you than me.

good to see 'bingbing'. that and 'red thread' were on consideration for oneus b-sides.

and damn, 'super special girl' missed the cut for me i've failed. still don't really know what the deal is with g-egg, either.

---

i am at the stage where i am excited about anyone from 2nd gen doing anything, i casually follow some of the 3rd gen, and i never learn the names in any new groups even when they deliver consistently. in that spirit:

juniel is now in the duo poetic narrator. their songs have mvs but juniel isn't in them so who cares:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGU4xw8ruZ0

spica's boa and bohyung are forming a duo which is cool:

Pentagon - Dr. BeBe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMIBLloecRI

ahhh love it

---

Dreamcatcher - Black or White
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRbGgdPg_8Y

Like it more than the new single!

---

hyunseung is back in less than 2 weeks, and mystic girls have profile pictures and an ig account - things are looking up for me at last.

https://www.instagram.com/mystic.rookies/

---

also eyyy a video for one of my favourite b-sides with all 13 members:

WJSN - Hug U (Self Cam)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCXkk4Pynlg

---

pumpkin, I just saw your list

Interesting that you put Eyedi's & New so high. I love her but I didn't like that song very much at all. I actually thought Twice's two singles were better than that Eyedi track.

Also what the fuck guys, no Yerin on either of y'all's lists? Y'all are crazy. So much good Yerin last year.

AOA's Sorry would be up there on my list. I wouldn't be able to do 100 though lol

---

Fancy is still my jam

---

'& new' might be my favourite eyedi song, but i think our taste diverge there often - you weren't as big on 'luv highway' either iirc.

i think a lot of baek yerin is a bit lethargic and slow for me generally.

also since we're talking the list, here are the last songs that were cut:
Oh Hayoung - Do You Miss Me?
Oh Hayoung - Don't Make Me Laugh
Bvndit - Dumb
Bvndit - Hocus Pocus
Kwon Jinah - 6:35 PM
Kang Xiwon - Passionate Love
FT Island - Quit

the fake laughing in don't make me laugh makes me laugh.

---

Dahee - Luh! (feat. Sole)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98WQIg14uXE

aw shit it's re dee, formerly of c-real!

Henry - Thinking of You
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvxaQiSQHe0

quite like this - i don't pay enough attention to his career to know how often he busts out the violin, but that part is great.

the cheska thread is a trip:

10. Everglow - Dun Dun
9. Elris - Like I do
8. Pentagon - Zoom Up

6. Pentagon - The Black Hall
5. Dreamcatcher - Black Or White
4. Henry - Thinking of You

2. Gfriend - Labyrinth
1. Pentagon - Dr. BeBe

new bts is alright tho - their best title track in a while i think. 'we are bulletproof: the eternal' is the album highlight for me.

(edit - wait nvm just since 'idol', i guess i'm just saying i like it more than 'boy with luv')

also hey, first everglow song i like.

lol

That whole Dreamcatcher album is great, it would round out most of my top 10 for the month

---

yeah, i agree. 'tension' just missed the cut, though it's a bit more well-worn territory for them.

and ofc the fan songs from the last 2 years are still great though not eligible here.

---

ended up watching 8 hours of cheska talking about her kpop experience.

sucks that she's getting some heat because of twitter threads and clickbait sites mining it for soundbites - it being 8 hours of scattershot livestreams to a small audience is important context, and i'm not just saying that because i spent 8 hours watching it (well, mostly listening to it in the background).

we only have her perspective on what went down with the fiestar members, but she's pretty clear that that's what it is, and also who cares how true it is when it's personal drama that is 6+ years old about a group that disbanded 2 years ago - just allow her to vent and take it for what it is. (the wider critique is more important, though i suppose nothing we sadly haven't heard before.)

there's some stuff about other idols that she doesn't know for a fact, but the mea culpa is usually in there somewhere, and while it's unsubstantiated, the folks arguing that it can't be true only have what they believe from the carefully managed public image and their parasocial relationship.

Luv Highway was okay, but you're right, it didn't make my playlist. My favorite by her is still Red, with Sign, Caffeine, and Tomorrowland being my other favorites.

I will admit lots of Yerin songs are downtempo. Every letter i sent you has a lot of slow songs. That being said, Our Love Is Great, Maybe It's Not Our Fault, See You Again, Square, and Popo (How deep is our love?) all have really good grooves at a good pace.

Favorite slower songs by Yerin are lovelovelove, 0310, Dear My Blue, and Don't Leave Me Alone.

welcome home hyunseung

rewatching (g)i-dle's secret folder over and over in lieu of a comeback.

amazing how they excel at everything, even comedy.

---

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-3r-7CGOcY

is there a better pairing than 1thek and (g)i-dle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ43rZCbyGA

really enjoyed this whole interview (in 4 parts), really shows hui and jinho's passion for music. great performances too ofc.

someone convince me to watch idol producer 3.

---

nice, just in time for the next one

when you thought the 'imagine' video would be the worst celebrity reaction to covid-19

i cannot process a person thinking this would be a good idea

this is a bummer, but also the language around it is kinda funny since they're a duo.
