[leemarkies]

my top 10 kpop songs of 2023 (boy ver.)

[baekhyunsbestie]

i forgot how fucking annoying kpoppies are on twitter lmfao ESPECIALLY when it comes to exo and/or one of their members. like jesus christ why cant we all just enjoy our faves and listen to their music without constantly comparing them???? why is that so fucking hard. i dont care about numbers. i dont care that your fave has more awards. GOOD FOR THEM BUT WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH BAEKHYUN LMFAO but whatever there are frankly far more bigger fish to fry than fighting strangers on the internet over people who dont even know you exist. like its actually so fucking embarrassing lmfao like go outside and touch some grass

[hyuck-xix]

i wake up to:

(1) jisung threads account

(2) stranger seven video

(3) new energy drink schedule thing

(4) haechan ripped his pants in lima???

(5) haechan instagram post

(6) more exo teaser photos

(7) jisung instagram post

(8) haechan dance challenge with jihoon

like omg i am overwhelmed 😅

No one asked , but here's

Some groups I can't stan + Reasons

1. Enhyphen

I'm not trying to be offended on behalf of Sunoo for the whole fat shaming incident but as someone who's been body shamed for nearly all my life , I'm not comfortable stanning people who don't mind making jokes like that .

Borderline homophobic jokes just aren't in these days . yk what I mean ?

( I mean , their music is fine , it's my taste too , for the most part . It's the controversies for me lol )

2. GOT7

Personality wise , I love them . I'm definitely familiar with a lot of their memes and stuff , but when it comes to their music , it's just not it for me. *THIS DOESN'T MEAN ITS BAD !!!!* . I've heard Not by the Moon , and Just Right, they're both good but like I said , don't hit the spot.

3. NCT ( all subunits )

See , I'm that kind of person who wants to know all the inside jokes , every reference , each line from their songs , all fun facts about the members etc . They don't stop adding members tho , so...

Don't get me wrong , I don't hate them , i just can't stan them . I've heard some of their music tho : Sticker , Kick It , Hot Sauce , Cherry Bullet .

It's do want to stan them one day , but I'm quite busy now , with college and everything , so..

4. Aespa

They've got lots of potential seriously . Honest , i might Stan them one day. That day is probably when SMe stops being a bitch and let's them show their talents properly instead of forcing them to lip sync .

5. Everglow

Good music , but if I wanted to hear just one person singing , I'd probably go to a soloist instead lol

6. EXO

I've heard some of their music too , and it's pretty good . But I haven't been able to understand them really . Are they still together , or..? Many members have left , some are in tbe military, it's confusing . As an outsider atleast .

I feel like it's mainly SMe groups lol

Maybe y'all could change my mind about them lol

[maximura]

Today I read a critique that Taemin's arms were "sloppy", he lacked "fluidity" and "groove". I need confirmation that this OP is a troll who likes to be contrary for fun because there's just no way this is a serious opinion lol. It's like calling Jurassic Park a little dinosaur movie.

tbt - exo - lotto // eojjeona i just hit the lotto 😳😳😳

[roscoehamiltons]

waking up and seeing lewis in korea content: 😌😌😌

waking up and not seeing any lewis x exo content: 😔😔😔

[sxfterhearts]

also idk why it slipped my mind but there’s two other p1h songs that I currently know of which also starts with the word “come in” which is apparently tha aristocrat’s producer tag (im assuming this means they add this at the start of every song they produce)

both ayaya and pyramid are produced by the same duo!!!!

ISNT THAT SO COOL!! for some reason when I listen to it I can kinda get slightly similar vibes to the other songs mentioned and ofc exo omggg

butterfly p1h was produced by tha aristocrats who also produced for exo?!?!

omg guys this is insane so i just realised while reading the english trans for butterfly (bc i was like why is butterfly such a sad yet sexy song?? HMMM?) that the producer is tha aristocrats

and when i went into their song credits TURNS OUT THEY ALSO PRODUCED FOR EXO? (for context: i'm an og exo-l) its a bit hard to pinpoint who the exact producers are for songs cos im finding conflicting evidence but -

you know how at the start of butterfly jiung goes "come in" ?! WELL THAT'S EXACTLY HOW OVERDOSE STARTS? AND ALSO other tha aristocrats songs (that i havent previously heard) eg memory by sf9?!?!??!

this is crazy to me bc i was like why do i enjoy this song so much and now it kinda makes sense bc im a HUGE exo-l woahhhh

[babieken]

“i am doomed to stan dilfs who are near their egg era” please i’m on the floor aneuehqiajdkx

i almost went to chicago this past spring/summer to see monsta x, and i realized after missing the show that that was my last opportunity until god knows how long to see them. luckily their discography isn’t going anywhere, so i’m content

i may message you one of these days! but i’m shy, so i’ll stick with anon for now >.<

do you stan any other groups? (i apologize if i send this ask and then see an about me page on your blog answering this question)

Oh sorry i almost forgot to answer this kdkfkkd

Ahhh yes😌i used to be monbeblr’s funny man jsjdksk

Awwww no😭😭😭😭 id be devastated… some ppl on twt are speculating a world tour after this cb but i doubt it😞 hopefully after their enlistment era we can have a tour with all 6members!!

Honestly the anon ask feature is still one of my favorite features of the hellsite. It takes the pressure off both parties u know? But people aren’t using it nearly as much as they usee to in the past… (damn i probably sound like boomer🤣)

And i do have an about page that i used to have a link to in my bio but i removed it bc it was old and boring🤣 and i dont care for making a Carrd or whatever kids these days are making kskdkdkd (my abt page should still exist if u like open my blog on a browser and type /about in the end🤔 I haven’t even looked it at it AGES idr what it looks like)

Bex's Top 20(+1) Songs of 2023

Spotify Playlists: Top 20(+1) ♡ Top 100 ♡ 2023 On Repeat (<- the unabridged favorites list [19+ hours])

tagged by @xiaojuun @dongkwan @hohowonho & @yangsminho thank you beloveds 💜

So I have learned that I am incapable of picking a reasonable number of favorites throughout this whole process and I even kept an extra song bc I wanted to make the gfx for it. Also the layout. But here are some of my favorites from 2023!

Some thoughts: I still don't know the purki members even tho I was OBSESSED with cabin fever. Busted top song of 2023? Multiple hags had comebacks this year & teen top's tt stood out to me when I was looking back (I don't count exo as hags even tho they are...)! Infinite's & tvxq's cbs were also really good! I still think knock knock by reve should've been the tt of chill kill. Loved my soloists in 2023 (jo yuri, kim sejeong, woodz, b.i, tabber, onew, d.o, kai). Several of whom were new to me. WayV may not be kpop, but their album was too important to me not to list. I joked that my top 10 was just the omy album, but it really was very good. EXO returned!! And we probably won't see them again until 2026 😭 Perfume best debut of 2023 /hj. I still don't technically stan the boyz somehow even tho I tuned in to all of their cbs this year and now know all the members. Also 🕯 pls let a.c.e drop a full album (as a full group 😒) in 2024 🕯and ilu everything I didn't mention but made the top 20. ok enough outta me 🤐

tagging (if you've already done this pls tag me!! I'd love the see it 🫶🏻 & if you're not a cc, I'd still love to see a list if you want to do one! 💜): @jwooyoung @lee-minhoe @bethereforme @possession1981 @honeydewtual @28reas0ns @sunminshine @sunghanbin @awek-s @jeonwon-wonwoo @zuhoz @kimsmingyu @jaebeomtual @okaysign @onmywayv @goblinvern @baekhyunonlyfans @wifehwa @flaredpantsagenda @haechannabelle @kihyunsgf @sunmisbf @neonsbian @wayvmp3 @duovxq @tipannies @pinktaeyeon @jftk @ninqz @nfly5 @talksaxy @baekslight @byunbaekhyunie I'm going off memory and definitely forgot people (I'm sorry🫣) but I think most people who are gonna do this have done this already anyway 😅🤷‍♀️

[hoshologies]

Stanning NCT dream was the right decision, they're literally one of the 3 groups I Stan now (well NCT is.. but you get the point)

Anyways any thoughts about Jeno? Just at all, soft or hard,, idc

-yh

my gf is literally going to be so annoyed w me bc they introduced me to nct, esp dream, and they're trying to get me into 127, wayv, and exo (which i am open to ofc) but my adhd comes with severe hyperfixations and right now nct dream is the group that my adhd has latched onto so they're all i wanna listen to rn LMAO but i am having so much fun learning abt them and listening to their songs!! i'm rly excited for istp !! (also markjun my babiessss i love them so much my boys forever <3)

anyways jeno... i have a soft spot for big strong men and jeno is no exception. i'm writing both just for u bffie bc i haven't seen u in my inbox in forever <3. afab reader, smut under the cut. mdni!!

soft jeno who drops everything when you even slightly hint at wanting or needing his attention for whatever reason. doesn't matter what he's doing. he's setting it aside and giving you the attention you're craving. he's so incredibly whipped that he'll do just about anything you ask, if it's something he can do at the moment. you wanna order takeout and watch a movie and cuddle on the couch? on it. you're asking to share a nice bubble bath together? he's asking what scent you want. like it truly does not matter; he just wants to make you happy and give you the attention you deserve.

he can be a little mean about it though sometimes. not in an "i'm busy and you're annoying me" way, of course. more so, he just wants to tease you and make you work a little for his attention. he'll tell you he's a little busy at the moment and can't put a hold on it, but says that you're more than welcome to sit on his lap and wait. you do and it's always nice for a little while until he convinces you to cockwarm him. he reasons that you wanted his attention and that's what he can offer for now, so be good and do it for him? please? he'll take care of you later, he promises. and you can't ever say no to him, not when you want him in you all the time anyways.

[euseokz]

brie i deeply need to know more about your biases (from all the groups you stan, like, i just need to know your type in men......for reasons.....)

okayyyy so ! i'm gonna make a little list because i like lists 😋 if it gets too long its not my fault babie you brought this onto yourself ☝🏻 i also would like to point out that i don't think my biases are that good of a reference for my type . . maybe they are and i'm just blind to it but idk . . . anyways i'll list the ones that come up from the top of my head 🫶🏻

nct 127 - yuta ; nct dream - jaemin, jisung ; riize - eunseok, seunghan ; boynextdoor - leehan ; p1harmomy - jiung, intak ; nct wish - sion ; wayv - kun ; cix - jinyoung, hyunsuk ; txt - beomgyu ; ateez - mingi ; exo - chanyeol ; shinee - onew

BPP! You mentioned somewhere that releasing music during enlistment was legal. Is that true? My understanding was that idols were not allowed to earn from their day jobs while in the military.

There is talk of two BTS members releasing albums while away during military service. Most likely this is rumoured to be Jimin and RM. Why would they release an album if they cannot earn from it? Hybe would never give a free album.

Also. Why would they release music when they are not able to promote it? Especially Jimin who only went through a 9 day promotion period for Face. And RM, who had been working very hard for something different (I think he said it in his interview/live that next work will be completely different). Would they not want that promotion time?

I honestly find it quite baffling when some fans argue that that Jimin and RM don’t want the commercial success. I am pretty sure they do so it is surprising that they would be releasing albums while away.

***

It being legal has nothing to do with whether or not Jimin/RM want commercial success.

For every question you asked, direct it to Kai who enlisted before EXO released Exist - an album he contributed to and was profiting from while not promoting it. Or to all the actors who enlist and their projects are released for profit without incident. It's legal. They can't access this profit until their service is over, and that's understood and accepted by all parties.

The issue with Baekhyun was a mob of rival stans from SM groups making a stink, because up to that point Baekhyun was perceived to be the favourite of the company alongside Taemin. People were going to use outside pressure, given the issue involves public perception and the military, they were willing to use that to humble Baekhyun. SM acted to protect their own image even though the initial claims were baseless so their action was unnecessary.

The repeat of the same thing is happening now, with EXO/SM stans angry that BTS, the perceived 'favourite', is putting out music their own fave wasn't able to even if that means ignoring people from their own company (like Kai) who also had no issues. These people are hoping HYBE rolls over and pulls the BTS projects. It's just the classic SM stan coping mechanism of directing their angst/anger/frustration at BTS/ARMYs rather than at SM for the company's own incompetence. That's how a company that's been in as many criminal cases as SM, still has this many loyal fans than critics.

Personally, I'm not invested one way or the other. We don't know what the format of the releases will look like. Whether there'll be filmed performances or not. Most of the time Coldplay performed My Universe BTS wasn't there, so it's not like there's no precedent for the members not actively participating in promoting a song. Anyway, we'll just have to wait and see but personally, I'm looking forward to everything the members have prepared.
