Redacted Bois and Which K-pop Groups They’d Stan
Idk if there are a lot of K-pop+redacted fans there are out there but I made this for funsies 😋🫶🏼
David is more of a casual listener, but whenever he’s working out or doing yard work, he listens to EXO. He got really into it when he was younger and bought one of their albums. He then played it for a whole month. Angel was trying not to laugh when he accidentally played Monster on the speakers near the pool (they secretly liked it tho).
Asher definitely listens to Block B. He likes to blast their music anytime, anywhere. On the way to the grocery store? Absolutely banging to Very Good. Cooking? Accidentally burning the food to Nalili Mambo. Trying to get Babe’s attention? Passionately singing Her. He just gets really hyped when he listens to them.
Milo is secretly an aghase and could talk about GOT7 for hours if you ask him about it. He's really passionate about them and their music. Sometimes he uses Teenager or If You Do as entrance music, like sitting on the bed waiting for Sweetheart to come in. He was pretty upset when they announced that they won't be actively making music together, but he still enjoys all of their solo projects/music.
Vincent is a huge ENHYPEN stan. Their whole concept is vampires but despite that, Vincent really likes their music. He and Lovely started watching their survival show and then became obsessed with them once they debuted. He knows the point dance from each title track and learned the Bite Me partner choreo with Lovely.
Sam listens to Girls’ Generation as a guilty pleasure. He accidentally clicked on the music video for Gee back in 2008 and has followed them ever since. He was pretty embarrassed when Darlin’ caught him listening to it, but he was able to convince them to listen to it with him.
Gavin doesn’t really stan a certain group but likes a lot of solo artists, specifically Taemin, Kai, and Hwa Sa. He just feels so connected to their music and actively follows their releases. He was listening to some of their music one day, Freelancer asked what he was listening to, he showed them and they liked it too. They've definitely listened to Mmmh by Kai while making out. he is mr rover and he is coming over
Lasko doesn't listen to really big groups in the industry and instead likes the K-bands more, specifically Day6. He gets into his feels when he listens to them (especially since i hc that hes a hopeless romantic). He learned Korean just so he could sing Congratulations and Zombie even though theres an english ver.
Damien got really into SHINee in high school. He was kind of a toxic stan though 💀. He would get into fights on Twitter and (almost) physical fights at school. He would stay up until 3 am to start streaming music the moment the MVs would drop and then yell at people online to start streaming. But don't worry, he's calmed down now. He gets pretty nostalgic when Sherlock plays on shuffle.
Huxley really liked GFRIEND and supported them in any way that he could, such as streaming, buying albums, and voting them for MusicBank. He tried to show Damien their songs and played Rough but Damien wasn't really into it. He was devastated when they disbanded and Damien had to comfort him for a whole week. He's just such a wholesome girl group stan, it's adorable.
Caelum likes to dance and sing to a lot of PENTAGON and SEVENTEEN songs, even though he doesn't know what the lyrics mean. His favorite songs are Naughty Boy and Pretty U, respectively. Both groups have a lot of members, but he doesn't know all of them. He likes to watch the MVs with Freelancer and point out the few members he does know.
Elliott likes TXT's more chill songs like Fairy of Shampoo and Ghosting. He's a very relaxed fan when it comes to them. He knows all the members and their songs but isn't super active in the community or when it comes to buying merch. Whenever a new album comes out he'll listen to it for about a week and then put his favorites into a playlist. Sunshine started liking them because of him and probably asked him to make a dreamscape that was a TXT concert.
Blake isn't really into it but randomly listened to Love Scenario by iKON and cried to it after looking up the lyrics. He had it on repeat for a whole week.
Guy fell into the “I just want to know their names” trope with TWICE and BTS. He thought it would be funny if he randomly/ironically knew the members’ names and ended up being a HUGE stan of both. Bought every album, lightstick, and a lot of official merch. He’s been to a lot of their concerts and literally screams the fan chants. He biases Jin and Dahyun and has their photo cards in his phone case, as well as an RJ sticker.
Geordi saw NewJeans in a Coca-cola advertisement, decided to check out their music, and ended up really liking their music. It introduced him to K-pop and he casually listens to a lot of groups, but NewJeans is his ult. Their songs are really catchy so they end up playing in his mind 24/7, sometimes somehow mixing with the Tetris theme. He likes all of their songs but his current favorites are Super Shy and ASAP.

Calcium's List of K-Pop Worth a Damn Pt.2
Hello my beloved mutuals.
It is I, Calcium, who has consumed way too much K-Pop and has opinions on which songs (and by extension artists) are actually worth a damn.
This is part two because there was so much K-Pop to sort through, and this part is going to cover the male artists whether groups or soloists. I do not expect you to enjoy every single one on this list, but I do think these songs are worth at least one listen.
In Case This Breaks Containment: Please understand this list was made for my mutuals and my mutuals only. Just because a song or artist is not on this list does not mean I think the song or artist is bad. Except for BTS, with all due respect I think their solo work outshines their group work by a margin which is why two of their members are in the solo area listing but there is no group song listed.
Important Language Note: When Romanized, the word 'you' in Korean translates to 'nega' and the word 'I' in Korean translates to 'naega'. When said very fast it sounds like the n-word. I promise it is not the n-word, they are saying 'you' or 'I'.
Without further ado, let's finish these recommendations.

Overall Artist Recommendations
Ateez: They are very hard hitting and all their songs feel like cinematic experiences. My go to boy group, and I don't think there is a song of theirs I don't like.
Enhypen: Can I just say supernatural concept and be done with this section? Yeah, I think I will.
Taemin: Honestly I was just going to leave it at his name, but I cannot explain how sexy his voice is. The man is known as The Idol's Idol for a reason.
Tomorrow X Together or TXT: They honestly have a little bit of everything from more chipper music to darker music. My personal favorites are the moments where they sound like an actual band like Run Away, I Know I Love You, and Loser=Lover.
Stray Kids: A little grab bag of everything when it comes to the 'love yourself' message. If that isn't enough for my mutuals, not only do they have my seal of approval but they also have my mother's seal of approval so uh take that as what it is.
Bonus Recommendation
KARD's music is wonderful, but since they are a co-ed group I was unsure where to put them. In terms of their songs I adore Gunshot and Red Moon as it was the song that got me into them.

OHHH Weeekly's After School is one of my favorites!! Spotify recommended it to me and now every day I make it a point to listen to the song at least once. It may be a problem of mine, but I honestly am in love with it.
I really love Dynamite and Boy With Luv, actually! I think I got invested in the songs after I got the Just Dance 2023 edition and got Superstar on both (I'm still trying to go for Megastar). I just listened to Boy With Luv an hour ago on repeat until I realized I put it on a loop 😂😂😂
Everything else I have not heard of, though some of the bands I recognize! Thank you Anon!
Tumblr media
I'm going to add the second ask you made too! You know, I was like man I swear I have heard of something like that title and when I looked it up I realized you were talking about Mystic Messenger, the otome game! While I never picked up the game, I do play an otome game and so I have heard of the game in passing.
I can't believe it took me such a long time to realize that Mystic Messenger is a Korean game! I guess I never really thought about it.
Also the music is a banger; I am reporting this as I listen to it right now in Korean. Thanks again for the recommendations!

A3DAY Extended Commentary: KAI "Rover" (2023)
DISCLAIMER - An Album a Day is my exploration into the Korean music scene. This blog, just like my podcast, will cover mainstream, indie and some underground artists within the scene and provide both factual and opinionated commentary. The biggest benefit to sharing my thoughts this way is that it will hopefully expose you to more great music and exploration of your own.
Tumblr media
When assuming membership in one of South Korea's most well-recognized idol groups, I'm willing to believe that creating solo work is not only a deeply desired opportunity, but a rites of passage. Clearly, it's allowed Kim Jong-in a.k.a. Kai to break away from the mold (or "colors," as K-pop often refers to the energy, styling, and expectations) of SM Entertainment's EXO with two mini-albums.
With this third outing, "Rover," sounds unexpected. There's some familiar deliveries, but you damn near can't put your finger on which EXO album clued you in that he could do what he's going to do on this project. You can't even fully place it on the same shelf as "Peaches," his second mini-album birthed 16 months before this one. If his debut mini-album was sexy-sexy-dance-dance-smooth, then the second was tongue-in-cheek-sweet-sweet-vibes... and this one is grown-grown-borderline-AOMG/H1GHR Music.
You can't just jump around like that, Kaihonetta... don't do me us like this... it's dangerous. (And yes, that is pronounced Kai-ho-netta.)
Tumblr media
SM used far better words than I have to express the variety of this album, stating,
KAI has presented different concepts for each solo album released so far, such as 'Mmmh' with a restrained sexiness and 'Peaches' with a sweet vibe, proving that he is a 'world-class performer' who will never let you down. Expectations are rising for the unique music and performance that he will show through this album.
Let's get into the breakdown of what we're hearing, feeling *clears throat* and sensing on "Rover," track by track.
Rover - Bulgarian pop done Kai's way
You've read that right: this song is a reinterpretation of Bulgarian pop star Dara's song, released on Virginia Records. SM embraces covers and the fact that Kai's production team stayed true to the original music and arrangement is a win.
Tumblr media
At bare minimum, the chorus is catchy enough to get a little body movement from its listeners. In my case, I keep mixing parts of it in my head with another track on the album, which we'll get to soon enough.
EDIT: Since writing this on album release day, I've come across several conversations on Twitter about this song and how Kai "copied it." We know there are instances of blatant plagiarism in South Korean pop entertainment but this is not the case here. Permission was sought, granted and publicly acknowledged.
It takes so little to search the Internet for reputable reporting and notations about major and indie label work. This was a perfect opportunity to use those keyboarding skills to find the truth.
While I understand that not everyone is engrossed in music to the point of wanting to know who's who and what's doing what, these arguments against Kai's reinterpretation are ignorant. Checks and cheques have cleared.
Listen to my reaction to this song below
Black Mirror - "Boomerang~~ boomerang~~" A song produced with the sounds of its time for mid-trap music, the track wins because it's not overwhelming the auditory experience. Kai plays with pitch and tone throughout the entire track as he speaks about watching someone with provocative angles and enticing interactions. It's easy enough to ignore the music in favor of his delivery. He sounds comfortable yet arrogant and it works. It works very well, indeed.
Slidin' - This man is talking about adult extra-curricular activities
The mood is set as soon as the song comes on. It's a mellow tempo that encourages the body to loosen up and one's head to bob to the beat. Thus, I thought the title was about sliding into one's DMs. It seemed right and my ass was wrong. Kai said, "Slidin'/Strip it down, take it off/Slidin'/You can leave it all to me/Come wrap me up, closely."
Tumblr media
It's easy to get lost in the melodic experience but if you take the time to familiarize yourself with the lyrics in the language of your choosing, then you'll find this song to be a solid statement of adulthood without giving too much away.
Bomba - Reggaeton and redundancy
I must preface this by saying that I'm a member of a reggaeton household. I can't escape it when I hop in the car nor can I run from it when my partner is lounging around the house. It takes very little effort to identify its typical instruments; and it's not that I don't enjoy it, but that I am burned out on it.
Now that my truth has been revealed, this song would not work any other way. "Bomba" is on trend, gives a few words in Spanish to make it feel authentic, and has ear worm capacity that syncs with "Rover" (unintentionally?) well.
Tumblr media
Say You Love Me - The hip-hop soul track that fits multiple vocals
Let's look at this first from the artistic styling before my fangirl antics surface. The team behind this track must hide behind the mild description given by SM for the song to avoid pearl-clutching behaviors. The label gives us this:
''Say You Love Me'' is a hip-hop R&B song, which directly expresses the wish to have love confirmed in precise words.
Call it a nice way of saying what one with certain life experiences could pick up on: this song isn't playing around with words but seeking physical confirmation. This isn't uniquely Kai's, per se, not in the way we think of "Confession," for example. This track could have found a home with the deliveries of GOT7's Yugyeom and/or Jay B, Bluewoods, or even Dean if he felt like coming back. Any male artist willing to ride the lyrical cadence could have done it, but it's nice to have Kai challenge himself in this way.
Tumblr media
Where's the fangirl antics, you say? I scream, you scream, we're all screaming, "Kai, PLEASE." PLEASE! What the hell do you mean, asking me to wake up and feel the mood and "just feel when I move"?!? HUH?!?! BLANKET THREATS, SIR. You're throwing around blanketed threats!
Sinner - A powerful close to a literal phase in an entertainer's life
We've heard Kai use music before to (allegedly) process feelings of heartbreak and loss as a member of EXO but this felt like it was seeking retribution and forgiveness with his fans. After all, we know that sooner than later, his time to serve his country through military service is coming. Could his pleas for punishment with an immediate re-embrace be thoughts about the inevitable next thing? Regardless if this interpretation is true or not, the song rests on a simplified beat and contemplative piano. The baseline and kick drum could deliver more, as it feels a bit apprehensive soulfully, but it doesn't diminish the message.
MY OFFICIAL RANKING
K-pop fans, on a scale of 1 to 5 where 5′s essential listening and 1′s not worth mentioning, the A3Day ranking for Kai's third album is 4. He's provided three albums that have captured the colors of three periods in his life and this one feels like a man on the cusp of new experiences away from the limelight. I enjoyed it and look forward to what's next to come.

did you like kai's rover? i personally like this song out of all his solo work but visuals vise, his first ep/mmmh is the best for me.
i did! i have mixed but opposite feelings about it than i did with peaches (eventually i will finish that ask lmao), where i didn't like the song but the design was gorgeous. with rover i love the song but i think the aesthetics lack a clarity that makes the theme discernable, unlike his other two cbs. i spent a bit of time trying to parse what i thought the concept of the cb is supposed to be and what i've come up with is that it's meant to be a comment on the changing of character and persona through the lens of old hollywood, acting, and conmen. there's the obvious catch me if you can references, but the use of the ballerinas + theatre adjacent spaces (backstage hallways, green/dressing rooms, grand lobbies) are all places where you are in the process of changing personas + altering your behaviour in order to achieve specific goals, at the core basis of which are almost always fooling other parties. kai has also talked about how the 'rover' persona is one that is opposite to his own actual personality (he's famously very introverted), so that dovetails into the types of promotion that he's doing (like a MILLION tiktoks with every single group on the face of the planet, even the ones that aren't promoting atm), where he's being very outgoing/charming/schmoozy. personally i think it's not totally successfully executed in the design, where there's a bit too many contemporary-isms; they could have streamlined some of the stylization a bit more so that the hollywood and acting themes were more clear, and i think they REALLY dropped the ball on the music show styling. this was the PERFECT opportunity to have him do every stage in a different 'persona' with a totally different costume/all the different professions from cmiyc, and find ways to tie those back into the aesthetic glam of the rest of the design. but instead they've just been kinda meh? like he looks good, but what does a tshirt and jeans say about the theme??

Hi! This is your ExoL secret santa! How is your October going? What are you excited about these days? I’d also love to hear your answer to the obligatory exo intro questions: who is your bias? Do you have a favorite era? How did you get into Exo/kpop?
hey there santa! ^_^
first off, apologies for the days long reply -- work has been really having my ass these days. @_@
my october has been going pretty well, aside from the work stress lmfao. but lets forget about that for a moment! these days am really excited about my relationship, lol. pretty cheesy, i know, but The Girlfriend (as i like to call her) is a really amazing partner and person overall, and as this is likely my first healthy relationship as an adult i've really been enjoying the day to day domestic aspect of it all. :3c
as for the obligatory exo questions: my bias is yixing, has been since probably 2021, which was a year after i got into the group. my favourite era of the group as a whole is the monster era, followed closely by cream soda; whereas for yixing specifically, that would be his lit and honey era. ^_^
so how i got into exo and kpop in general started way back when in 2020 when kai released his first solo. i was already p familiar with the scene because a lot of my friends and mutuals were into kpop, but i myself never really got into it past a few select songs from various groups.
anyway, i was really into dancing (or rather, being an audience to it) and was recommended the mmmh music video. i clicked it, watched it, and started binging all of kai's and exo's choreo videos, lol.
i hope your october has been going well! i look forward to more of your messages. ^_^

Hes very patient n hes super into high fashion/designing so we ask him for advice whenever we’re stuck during clothes shopping! Atleast ur friend’s bf went home to have his ramen in peace n didnt bother u guys so thats good😭
N sel, about my fav music genre, it definitely has to be r&b/soul n jazz! Hip hop too!! my favourite artists are sza, summer walker, nicki minaj, kehlani, FLO, brandy, ariana theres so many 😭😭 But yea, I love r&b girlies sm! i listen to lots of bollywood/south asian music tooo.
