and speaking of virtual groups,

K/DA - More

rest of the song is solid, but i wish there was a second rap verse because the temptation to just instantly replay the intro is always there

there is new twice out

the rap part in the single SUCKS

rest of the song is kinda catchy but not amazing

couple of the side tracks are good

jihyo and mina are too gorgeous to believe

genuinely quite like risky wiggy emergency - it suits the mood. it's a win for me as long as they don't dip back into the same dahyun trap break well again.

still have to listen to the album, but i like the single.

well that line is pretty bad imo but the real offender is

"Help me, help me, somebody stop me
'Cause I know I can't stop me"

whoever wrote that line just wasn't trying.

i keep clicking on this topic thinking its about rokos basilisk
the context is that the biggest name in kpop is debuting a group consisting of human members as well as AI avatars:

https://twitter.com/Wanzi_G/status/1321266780665380864

which is sort of alarming and maybe worth discussing from a labour perspective, as an intensification of kpop's parasociality, and in the context of SM's many attempts to empower the brand while disempowering the members ever since they stopped letting them do slave contracts, but rather than speculating or trying to think through it, here's a joke about them compounding the social pressure of fandom with the pressure from a malevolent future AI which will come for any of us who aren't streaming, and buying aespa albums.

rokkugo is a classic SM song by super junior-t which sounds enough like roko and look, i said it's a dumb topic title

TWICE really doesn't stop working

I think this is actually right below Fancy in terms of their best singles, so it'd be my second favorite. I like the concept for their look, the rap parts fit well and are incredibly strong compared to I Can't Stop Me, and it sounds like it's probably much more comfortable for the girls to sing.

Solid overall.

the aforementioned mv - it's cute and suits her.

STAYC - So Bad
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMe1c4UegBY
the much anticipated BEP-produced group under their new company, and it's p good - still kinda surprised park si eun would debut as an idol given how much recognition she already has in acting.

CNBlue - Then, Now and Forever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=236ddk-0sOI
been on a cnblue kick since the comeback announcement and this doesn't really measure up to their best tbh, but fuck it i'm just happy they're back.

BTOB4U - Show Your Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBEdgsea9sM
was expecting/hoping for a minhyuk-style title track at last given this line-up, but alas - this ain't bad still

Momoland - Ready or Not
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsNH0qBoJQs
pleasant overall - points for not sounding like a re-tread i guess?

Aespa - Black Mamba
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeerrnuLi5E
very YG by way of SM - it's okay, but i don't think i like it enough to be spared by rokkugo's basilisk

whoa, i never expected names

i fucking called kang dongho - i said he felt the safest from nu'est SFF. guessing what everyone assumed, that pledis wanted only 1 nu'est member in wannaone so they could promote nu'est w at the same time, was true then?

oh man, izone could have had both chowon and kaeun?? i could have stanned izone??

wait why did they have to rig out jungmo and jinhyuk, i thought they missed out because of the X position or was all that bullshit? and wow, that's a lot of rigging on the penultimate vote.

would have been nice to see kim suhyun in the position battle, but otherwise looks like season 1 was the least consequential in this regard with only 2 switches in round 1, but who's to say really

kinda want to find out the other side, as in who was rigged in, but also kinda don't because it'd be v. cruel.

edit - wait i'm dumb, X position could have been real and the two could have been rigged out. it's funny how much rigging there was for that season when they even officially had a system in place that they could use to goose the numbers at least for one spot - they just got greedy. it's still astounding that they could probably have gotten away with it all if someone just bothered to randomize a few numbers.

oh wait, goes to show how much i paid attention to pdx101 towards the end, but keum donghyun was in the last episode and rigged out of the final line-up. damn, i feel the worst for him out of the three.

more informative, including what final rank the rigged out members had:

yeah fr - the earlier eliminations lost out on less, but it's still regrettable, and who knows how round 2 might have turned out for them. like, probably not final group esp. if mnet was against them ultimately, but it could have meant being able to perform once or twice more.

https://www.asianjunkie.com/2020/11/17/12-pd101-contestants-impacted-by-vote-rigging-revealed-by-court/

The court revealed the list of contestants who were eliminated due to manipulation, commenting, The harmed trainees being revealed through a fair criminal trial can be the starting point towards them receiving true compensation for damages. It has been decided that the contestants who benefited from the manipulation will not be revealed as they were not aware of the manipulation happening, and revealing their names could additionally cause harm to them.
yeah, fair enough i guess. i would prefer knowing for a clearer picture of what money went where and what went down, but absolutely it would be taken differently by the public.

9. CNBlue - Then, Now and Forever
8. BTOB 4U - Show Your Love
7. Natty - Teddy Bear
6. Chungha - Dream of You (with R3HAB)

4. STAYC - So Bad
3. Mushvenom, Miranni, Khundi Panda, Munchman - VVS (feat. Justhis)
2. XIA - Pit A Pat

is this the biggest hit to come out of smtm in a long time? at least big enough to reach me, the non-viewer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZInUHwmzN8

tbh the mushvenom and miranni only version is better:

been working on my list too - might post some highlights as i go later. for now, some recent releases i need to consider:

Ghost9 - W.ALL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gD2SQM2ezw

Vanner - Form
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO2hvlrCBwA

also mid-january (g)i-dle comeback hell yes. from the hints we've gotten:
- something cool
- something ballad-y?
- first word of the song is "yeah"
- possibly marionette-themed based on the gestures they made that one time
- something about rain? there was like a period where several members independently talked about rain a lot idk

No mention of the new Yerin Baek album??? Tellusboutyourself is much more electronic/R&B than Our Love is Great and Every Letter I Sent You were, trending more towards the sound from tracks like newsong2 and London with a hint of True lover (so basically more like the 2nd side of Every Letter I Sent You).

My personal favorites:
  • Lovegame
  • You're so lonely now, so you need me back by your side again
  • I am not your ocean anymore (this one is REALLY my #1 favorite by far)
  • Hall&Oates
  • Loveless
Other really good ones:
  • 0415
  • Bubbles&Mushrooms


Yerin is still my #1 Korean singer. I've thoroughly enjoyed all 3 of her most recent releases (Our Love is Great is still one of my favorite albums ever)
