#how did y’all like the mv and/or recording video? :D

[grlsgen]

my favorite 2020 kpop songs

there were some bangers this year... this includes title tracks & bsides and everything else under the sun.

i always got shit to say and i always see youtube videos like this but i simply can’t edit so here we are

you never know - blackpink

okay yeah i didn’t really fw hylt or lovesick girls when i first heard them but when i listened to the album you never know really stuck with me... i never get sick of it. definitely the best track off the album imo. rosé’s prechorus has made me cry a few times ngl

alien - lee suhyun

alright miss thing... i was obsessed with this song when i first heard it... the pre chorus with the ooo ooo ooo and the switch to the chorus is so good it gets me every time. she’s cute i like her... while we’re here i’ll also mention i really liked her ost in your time for it’s okay to not be okay.. i loved that drama and that’s my fav ost from it.. but anyway

lalalilala - april

They Served. Big time. the music video is so pretty and the song was stuck in my head for 6 months straight... they really did the damn thing with this. kinda sounds like an apink song but that’s a compliment... overall this whole comeback was really good and deserved better. honorable mention : the bside on this ep you.zip is so good too

open your eyes - iz*one

this is all i listened to for months after bloomiz dropped... izone’s music is really a hit or miss for me and i didn’t really vibe with fiesta but i’m so glad i gave the album a chance because open your eyes is definitely in my top 5 releases of this year. their other bside dreamlike is really good too

the book of us : the demon - day6 album

now where do i start with this... to this day i am still obsessed with 1 to 10... like that’s gotta be the best off this album imo. zombie was so good and i really liked the lyrics. the album as a whole was really really good. i sound like a broken record

children - bvndit

oh boy... another one of my top 5 releases from this year. not only is the overall sound of this amazing but i love the lyrics too. these girls deserve so much better

d-2 - agust d/yoongi/suga mixtape

my king. i shit myself when this dropped ngl... i don’t even know how to elaborate on how much i love this. daechwita was stuck in my head for the longest time.. i think the highlights off this for me have to be people, honsool & dear my friend. this mixtape was really a moment.. i love yoongi y’all

love again - baekhyun / underwater - baekhyun

alright alright .. i put these two together since they’re from the same album idk but it took a while for candy to grow on me but i’ve loved these since i first heard them... i was Obsessed. the final bridge/chorus whatever the hell thing he does in love again put me into shock for 3 months straight and the beat in underwater is heavenly

the dream chapter : eternity - txt ep

this serve. has to be my favorite from txt yet... rookies with the best discography fr. i love dark concepts and really like that they did something different with this. can’t you see me was Amazinggg. fairy of shampoo has to be one of the best songs i’ve ever heard it’s insane. i also really liked eternally, who else has that range... Nobody. top to bottom this ep is really good, i hope they do another dark concept like this again soon bc this hit big time

eight - iu & suga

it took a while for this to grow on me but whew...when it did... kinda makes me feel like i’m in a coming of age movie and i like that, makes me nostalgic for that. eight soty, they both did great on this

# - loona ep

Now... Cmon. so what was either a hit or miss for a lot of people but something i think everyone can agree on is that the bridge is godsent. like that shit makes me cry sometimes. the music video was really good, i always come back to the subway/train scene. number 1 is also so damn good. overall i really loved this ep. they really ate with this one

eyes wide open - twice album

when i first heard this album i didn’t like it That much but it’s really grown on me lately. the whole retro trend was fun and then it got a little overdone so i was tired of it by the time this dropped but actually.. some of the bsides are insanely good. behind the mask is definitely a highlight for me, mina’s bridge is heavenly. i love mina so bad. but anyway, i can’t stop me took some time to grow on me as well but it always gets stuck in my head. i also really like up no more & depend on you, they’re cute

maybe - gidle

Y’all... i love this song. it’s short and simple but it was so addicting to me. i really like that one part in the last two choruses if you know what i’m talking about (i’m not sure who sings it ? some people say soyeon some say shuhua idk, shuhua my queen btw) and soojin’s verse in the bridge hits. to this day i’m still obsessed with this song

a song written easily - oneus

this is so underappreciated, this is easily one of my favorite title tracks released all year. i’m not a huge fan of beat drops but this one was really nice imo, i also liked the lead in before the drop and the final chorus. this was really good and i never get sick of it

wannabe - itzy

CUT THE DAMN CAMERAS.... no fr this is my #1 favorite song released this year. talented brilliant incredible amazing... itzy seriously ate up everyone with this. i keep going back to this song it’s insane. iconic choreo good mv good styling amazing song.. like everything here lined up. i don’t know how they’ll ever top this for me. definitely my soty (next to psycho)

black swan - bts

this is excellent idk what else to say. i thought it was just okay when i first heard it but it’s seriously so good, me being yoongi biased i loved that he got multiple verses but i love the do your thing with me now breakdown part too. the choreo is one of my favorite from them and the mv was really pretty. black swan is one of my favorite movies so the comparisons with it made me love this song more. overall, probably my favorite off mots7

my time - jungkook of bts

jungkook always has the best album solos fr. i loved this the second i heard it, kinda justin bieber esque but it’s so good. i love the lyrics and transition it takes thru the song. the chorus hits man.. this song always makes me a little sad but he really did amazing on this

monster - red velvet irene & seulgi ep

my queens what can i say. i was so excited for this unit and they did not disappoint. monster still hits, aged like wine. the best track is fr feel good, i still have it on repeat.. insanely good. seulgi really delivered with uncover, it’s so beautiful. i think sm’s intention was always to have a subunit this year but i thought it was smart to do while wendy was recovering, hoping for ot5 soon y’all..

never gonna dance again : act 2 - taemin album

taemin my king wtf!!! i loved criminal so i was really excited for this and of course... he always delivers. top to bottom i loved this album, he really did amazing on it. identity might be the best song i’ve ever heard... and of course i loved the collab with wendy 🙏 overall such a good album, taemin always serves the best

pporappippam - sunmi

what can i say i love a little retro tune. even though i just said earlier i was sick of it idc i loved this. sunmi always shows up, i don’t know what else to say. this song never gets old

dystopia : the tree of language - dreamcatcher album

i didn’t expect to love this album as much as i did... i don’t listen to it as often anymore but i can’t deny that scream was a major serve. every time i hear it it’s like the first time... their bside jazz bar was so good. dreamcatcher’s bsides always hit what can i say

12:00 - loona ep

Yes. why not is not necessarily my favorite title from them ever (it’s butterfly, btw) but it’s always stuck in my head... obviously i loved voice/star, was obsessed for weeks and i was happy they decided to promote it a little. styling on those stages were so cute btw. i also loved fall again from this ep, chuu sounds angelic on it. loona had some amazing cbs this year

la di da - everglow

Obsessed. i watched every stage as they dropped and listened to this every 5 seconds, Amazing. sihyeon really owned this era for me and shes my bias so of course i ate this whole thing up. this was definitely one for the books, what more can i say

literally everything gfriend released this year

this might be their best year yet for releases imo, i really liked how they tried out different concepts and sounds this year, i’ve always loved their music but the switch was refreshing yknow. crossroads was so good, i loved that mv. here we are is still on repeat almost a year later... and now APPLE. apple was so mf good. i love that they decided to do a dark concept, this song really fit them well, still obsessed w it. mago might be my least fave out of the 3 but it’s still so good. don’t even get me started on yuju in the mv.. Queen. i liked the subunits on walpurgis night, especially better me. gfriend had a really good year imo, they deserved more for it.

Anyways. that was my 2 cents.

wannabe & psycho soty

On your mind - Mark Lee

A/n: this idea came to me super randomly yesterday and I felt compelled to write it in about an hour so I hope it’s good :D

-

• so one day after a grueling dance practice, your manager approaches you with a water and towel before telling you to sit down

• he brings up that there’s going to be a new season of sm station songs

• you start getting excited because you know how special stations are and how much they can help someone’s career

• not that you were struggling with album or ticket sales by any means but still

• he brings up the name Mark Lee and you’re kinda surprised bc even though you haven’t interacted with him much you know he’s a star

• you’re always impressed by his performances and you hope that you have a similar aura that he does on stage

• anyways,,,your manager says your station will be a collab with Mark and that you guys start writing/recording next week and filming the video soon after that

• you nod and get back to your practicing but now with a bit more pep in your step

• Mark’s manager tells him a similar spiel and of course Marky Mark gets a bit flustered at the thought of working with you one on one

• although Mark is super professional he still can’t help the little butterflies that fluttered in his tummy at the mention of your name

• he may or may not have one of your albums and he may or may not watch your stages whenever he can catch them

• with all that said, Mark got very excited to work with you next week and later proceeded to tell the whole nct dorm about how lucky he was

• anyways,,,time skip to next week

• your manager tells you what studio Mark is in and you greet him politely

• “hi, it’s nice to meet you” - you bowing and extending your hand

• “you too, I’m excited to work with you” - mark being thankful you couldn’t see his face for the huge grin on it

• you nearly swooned at how simple and cute his outfit was, all he was wearing was blue jeans and a red hoodie but you couldn’t stop your heart from racing wow

• but after a few minutes you guys settle into the seats in front of the soundboard and start coming up with ideas

• “I wanted to do a smooth melody and a soft rap but I’m such a sucker for sweet songs so if you have other ideas I’m all ears” - you nervously brushing your hair behind your ear

• “I started working on lyrics when my manager told me we were doing this and my ideas for the rapping are similar to what you were thinking actually”

• he hands you his lyrics written on a piece of paper and you said the words aloud before smiling at him

• you guys didn’t say anything but instead started creating a basic beat to start building on

• you let Mark handle most of it considering you didn’t get to produce often, also it was refreshing to see him so in his element but in a different way

• he was so eager to answer your questions, which there were plenty of considering your lack of experience

• after a few days of continuously working on the lyrics and getting a melody down pact you start recording

• you and Mark take turns in the booth and listening to what the producer says

• you were thankful for so much creative freedom and Mark noticed how excited you got when someone would compliment a lyric you composed

• after Mark finishes recording a majority of his rap and it gets validated by the producer, you cheer for him

• “you did really well Mark, I can’t wait to hear the whole song.” - you put your hand on his arm and drag it down causing goosebumps on his skin

• *cue Mark getting so flustered that he literally can’t get a single word out and instead just giggles and says thanks*

• later you guys were getting ready to leave (after spending half an hour just standing in the lobby of the building not quite wanting to say goodnight just yet)

• you guys ended a few nights getting something from the cafe right down the street before heading to your dorms

• not that either of you would admit you had a crush on the other to anybody else, it was safe to say you guys were head over heels

• when Mark got back one night he was practically interrogated by Jaehyun and Johnny when he got back later then them for the first time in a long time

• Mark of course told them and they squealed like little girls when Mark admitted he might’ve had a tiny little itty bitty full blown crush on you

• this then went around the three dorms until they were all teasing him for it relentlessly until he met up with you again

• the next day the MV would drop and you could feel your stomach in your chest because of how nervous you were to reveal the project you two had been working on for so long

• that and the fact that the video portrayed you two as a couple of lovestruck teens longing for the other before finally getting together on a rainy Sunday night

• the video was full of clichés such as him holding his jacket over your head while he gets soaked, your hands brushing past one another while you walk, him buying you snacks, and of course you acting cute to get his attention

• after the video came out, you and Mark celebrated with your managers the success of the video and song thus far

• the day of your first music bank performance (pretend those are a thing for stations mmkay) a few of his members were there to cheer you guys on

• doyoung, johnny, jaehyun, and jeno watched you guys dance sweetly on the stage and boi they knew y’all were so whipped for one another how cute!!

• your heart was racing after the performance was over and you couldn’t help yourself, you hugged him and said he did really well to which he complimented you before wrapping his arms around you shoulders

• meanwhile the boys are watching and peeping all of this and now they know you definitely like him and that they have to get Mark to ask you out

• the next performance came and went quickly, both of your fans cheered you on so well and they absolutely loved the song you two created, it even got your fans requesting more of your songs to be influenced by what you like

• then the third and final performance came and more members of nct were there, by this time a few of them were close to you and supported you equally if not more than Mark lol

• after the stage you guys were relaxing in your green room on the couch and you felt so exhausted that you casually leaned your head on his shoulder

• Marks soul almost left his body, and he shifted so it was less strenuous on your neck, he lifted his arm up and wrapped it around your shoulder, welcoming you into his embrace

• meanwhile you wanted to scream because since when did Mark Lee like skinship? you felt your inner school girl begging to be let free so you could freak out but alas you held it in

• eventually Mark’s manager came in to pick both of you up and take you back to sm so you got up and followed both of them out the door

• while your manager is pulling up the car, Mark takes a leap of faith and shyly grabs your hand to get your attention, you look up at him sleepily and he smirks at you

• “do you wanna go out with me tomorrow night? like on a date?”

• you’re startled ngl but it doesn’t take long for you to say yes and link your fingers with his for a mere second before the car pulls up

• suddenly you’re not tired at all and suddenly Mark is the only thing on your mind
