#kpop songs to make you feel like a badass

[loftwinglullaby]

wow thank you so much

[frenchkisstheabyss]

♡ Being Poly w/ Chansung♡

♡ An anon request where you have two boyfriends and they're each other's boyfriends? Praise be to the goddesses of KPop ♡

Pairings: boyfriend!chan x chubby!fem!reader x boyfriend!jisung

Genre: fluffy fluff

Even though they were together before they met you, Chan and Jisung make you feel as if you've been here from the start

Meaning there's no preferential treatment. No favorites. Nothing of the sort. The three of you are a team. Each of you is equally loved and completely irreplaceable

With that being said, there are obviously a few things they're pretty deep into together but they always make sure that you feel included

Whether it's bringing you to the studio with them while they're working on a song or having a movie night so you finally get the references they keep making, they want you to be a part of everything

The first thing that drew them to you was your beauty, of course. You might be hesitant to admit what a beautiful creature you are but they shower you with praise everyday

Chan's a sucker for your eyes. After a hard day, all he has to do is stare into them and all of the stress melts away

Han is obsessed with your soft, round cheeks and your pillowy lips. He gets especially giddy when you puff your cheeks up, pursing your lips like the cutest lil fish he's ever seen

You and Jisung are the cuddlers in the relationship, drowning Chan in affection when he gets too caught up with work

Date nights are never ever missed. Your time together is precious even if it takes forever to agree on what you want to do

Since Chan likes to size his hoodies up, they're the perfect fit for you and baggy on Jisung so you guys are consistently robbing him blind for them

They support you in everything that you do. They wouldn't be with you if they didn't think you were a strong, intelligent, badass bitch

But they're still so gentle with you, protecting you and caring for you the best they can. You're their baby and you always will be

You've made each other realize that home is truly the people you love. As long as you have each other you're there ♡

So, because I'm in a bit of a shitty mood due to a whole lot of work I have to do before my break, and I don't feel like piling onto the already large list of what's wrong with the Helluva Boss series - and also, because everyone liked the Beelzebub list, I decided to do a quick list of my top five favorite songs from Helluva Boss. Despite the questionable writing, characters, world-building, creator, etc, the songs are actually truly solid when they want to be, and for that, I'm willing to give praise.

𝟏.❞𝕂𝕝𝕠𝕨𝕟 𝔹𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙❞ 𝐛𝐲, 𝐆𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐳 & 𝐆𝐥𝐚𝐦

❥ Putting aside my general love for these girls, however brief their appearances were in the episode, this song was just incredible to me! The dancing was smooth, the beat was heavily reminiscent to Kpop, which I just love anyway, the visuals were stunning, in addition to their overall designs, and I'm honestly just sucker for fish-based characters since they have a whole siren aesthetic going on. Speaking of, many people find these twins to be reminiscent to The Dazzlings, from EQ Girls, and that's just the cherry on top for me! The full version truly makes this even better and, overall, I think the song was brilliant in establishing the whole rebranding of Mammon and how these two pose great threats to Fizz, much like those badass singer villains in Saturday morning shows. You know, the one's everyone ends up simping for at some point in their childhood. Anyway, because of the new episode, this song managed to shoot its way to the top of my faves, knocking down my original fave in the process!

𝟐. ❞𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕣❜𝕤 𝔹𝕒𝕝𝕝❞𝐁𝐲, 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐳𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐛

❥ This song walked, so "Cotton Candy" could trip and fall on the scalding hot pavement. Apologies if I sound dramatic, and you happen to like Cotton Candy, but the amount of disappointment I feel towards the fact that we didn't get this song is indescribable. Now of course, I understand WHY we couldn't (again, waste of time when someone could've just gotten Rochelle in the first place 😑) but I digress. Aside from the fact that a specific line in the song gives clear clarification of who the hell the flying fox is, it feels like the cool, degenerative (said affectionately) party girl song that I would've actually liked to hear.

❥ To me, it's reminiscent of "Cannibal" and "Die Young", and I feel like both themes generally tie into what we think of a Modern Beelzebub to be like. The beat, the shift in pace of the lyrics that brings out the fast party vibe, the fact that it felt like a real pop song that didn't take fifteen minutes to get through just to see the rest of the episode – all these are what made this song my former #1 favorite, now my #2. And the "non-binary specimen" line was a cool, quick inclusion to me.

𝟑. ❞𝕁𝕦𝕘𝕘𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕀𝕫 ℂ𝕠𝕠𝕝❞ 𝐛𝐲, 𝐌𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧

❥ I know this is technically too small to be an actual full song, but I still loved it regardless. It was really cool in its short runtime for the following reasons: the Tom Hardy's vocals (idk what it is, but something about Australian accents that just sounds satisfying, especially when singing), the praising of the Twins, and the satisfaction of seeing Fizz squirm a bit. Apologies to any of you who like Fizz. I don't hate him per se, but rather, I'm just bitter that we're loosing out on other character development because of him and Ozzy. And, I prefered Robo Fizz who was an unrelenting asshole and not another UWU boy that, imo, there are one too many of in Hell.

❥ Anyway, it was cool seeing more visuals of the Greed Ring stage. And seeing the spider visuals that are associated with Mammon. I understand if some people thought it was kinda tacky, but I personally think it could work if assessed the right way. (Hint: I'll be explaining more about this in later Greed Ring Headcanons and/or Mammon Headcanons.)

𝟒. ❞𝕍𝕒𝕔𝕒𝕪 𝕥𝕠 𝔹𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕥��𝕨𝕟❞ 𝐛𝐲, 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐤𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐝𝐚𝐲

❥ Admittedly, I was a bit iffy on whether or not I should include this considering my feelings on Verosika. I don't hate her by any means considering, you know, it's Blitzø, but she has nothing going on for her and her one note personality just feels unfair to her considering what she had to deal with. That being said, I realized that I'm judging based on musical appeal and not entirely on character, so I said "fuck it" and put this as #4.

❥ While notably slower and softer than the other songs, I enjoyed it after revisiting it. The pink aesthetic and visuals were just gorgeous to me.

❥ It's slow, playful, and it reminds me a lot of Doja Cat and her songs, and I really loved that. Above all else, it was soothing and nice, and I feel like it was wasted on the Spring Break episode though as, while the episode introduced it a bit more worldbuilding, it felt like a whole load of nothing considering it all happened in one place and that same worldbuilding went out the window almost immediately. Still love the song though. Honestly, if there was a musical battle between Verosika and the Twins, I'd struggle to pick a winner.

𝟓. ❞ℍ𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕠𝕗 𝔸𝕤𝕞𝕠𝕕𝕖𝕦𝕤❞ 𝐛𝐲, 𝐀𝐬𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐮𝐬 & 𝐅𝐢𝐳𝐳

❥ While my opinion of Asmodeus has wavered lately, his debut song was incredible! I loved the deep vocals and jazzy tunes used in the song, and I didn't completely mind the bits with Fizz in it given all that's happened. Above all else, I adored how they called out Stolas publically in the episode. Shame it couldn't stay that way. Seriously though, as sexy as the man's voice is his design just doesn't fit that. But, yeah, that's my opinion.

⋆⋆⃟⊱✪⃝⃞⃝⊰⋆⃟⋆ ⋆⋆⃟⊱✪⃝⃞⃝⊰ ⋆⃟⋆⋆⋆⃟⊱✪⃝⃞⃝⊰ ⋆⋆⃟⊱✪⃝⃞⃝⊰⋆⃟⋆

Anyway, yeah, that was my list. Let me know what y'all think and whether or not you agree with my choices. If any, do you have a favorite song in Helluva Boss? Or a least favorite? Let me know. ✌🏾

[heartricky]

hello👋 can i please request zb1 reaction to their s/o being a producer? like they didnt know that their s/o had produced alot of hit kpop songs or like that😌 (esp imagine gunwook’s s/o produced hot by svt😫) ty in advanced!

omg anon you're so smart, yes, here you go!

this isn't proof read so I'm sorry if there any any mistakes!

as an actor, jiwoong knows all about being constantly busy, so when you suddenly went radio silent to work on a secret project, he couldn't help feel curious about what had gotten you so busy. it was only when he heard the sentence in an interview, "oh and you know y/n l/n? the person who produced the title soundtrack for your new series?" did it make sense as to why you would lock yourself in your office for days at a time, unable to contact him often.

to say that jiwoong was shocked would be an understatement, but the shock was quickly replaced by pure pride, he couldn't believe he had such a hardworking and talented s/o. he definitely helps you get onto producing zb1's title track.

𝐡𝐚𝐨

considering you had never been much of an instrument lover, it shocked has that you knew so much about music composition when he played a new piece on the violin that he had been working on for the last couple of weeks. so upon asking, he found that you had been producing songs every now and again for fun, liking the way that certain instruments and keys worked well together.

he was so impressed, falling even more in love with you, wondering how he had managed to bag such a badass babe.

𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐛𝐢𝐧

hanbin had a feeling you were a producer, talking about how layers of tracks on songs blend together and being able to pinpoint where a new section of recordings had taken place when listening to a song in the car with him, but he decided to let you tell him in your own time, he didn't want to pressure you into telling him. he knew what it was like wanting to keep something big about you secret incase of people who wanted to abuse the information.

but when you did tell him, boy, did he give you the biggest, most warmest hug filled with many compliments and temple kisses. you both listened to all of the songs you had produced after that.

𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐰

as an avid music listener, matthew had always wondered what it would be like to produce some songs, especially now that he would be debuting. it felt like such a cool accomplishment to be able to say you helped produce your own group's songs. so when he mentioned it in passing to you, and your face starting glowing when telling him how to get started and how to download certain softwares that would be most useful when being a beginner.

poor matthew had missed when you told him you were a producer when you first met each other, so he asked "how do you know so much about producing?" giggling you replied, "because its my job? matt, I told you this on our first date". *insert matthew surprised pikachu face*

"oh. I'm sorry I must have missed that. can we listen to the songs you've produced? wait no, let me guess them!"

𝐭𝐚𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐞

taerae had his suspicions when listening to a song, where the producer tag sounded a bit too much like your voice, so the next time you both saw each other, he decided to play detective and put on one of the songs he thought you had produced.

the way your face glowed with pride when hearing that taerae liked the song you had produced enough to play it in front of you told him everything he needed to know. eventually, once the song finished, he asked the question, and when you nodded your head, taerae couldn't help but feel amazed, "wow, you're so cool do you know that y/n?", "you're even cooler taerae".

𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐲

when you had mentioned that you were saving up for a specific type of headphone set for your birthday to ricky - which was definitely not cheap - he asked you why you wanted it so badly. telling him why, that you had picked up producing a few songs as a hobby and had wanted to get some more professional items to help boost your career, he bought them immediately, getting them customised to your favourite colour as well, so you could spend the money on a well deserved treat instead.

you had decided to pay back your boyfriend for the kind gift with a couple's trip to see this musical he had been wanting to see for a while, where you both stopped at a strawberry field on the way and ate the delicious berries watching the performance.

he was so proud of you and couldn't believe how hardworking you were, he definitely bragged about having such a cool s/o to his yuehua friends - poor ollie and had didn't hear the end of it for months.

𝐠𝐲𝐮𝐯𝐢𝐧

gyuvin always wondered why you stayed in the music rooms at school for much longer than you realistically needed to as a music major in the high school. so when he walked into the room one day with a chocolate milk and sweet bread as a snack for you, did he discover the tracks and arrangements of vocals on a large desktop.

after telling him that you had been offered to work on a few songs for some extra money, he gave you the biggest hug ever, telling you how talented you were, jokingly suggesting that you help produce a title track when he debuted.

𝐠𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐤

after saying that he would dance to "hot" by seventeen in the star level test, he was shocked when hearing "ahh, yes, did you know y/n l/n produced this song and 'ash' as well, on this album, they worked with woozi directly! at such a young age, they're so talented already."

gunwook went and googled the listed producers on the title track when he finally got access to the internet in the dorms, surprised that your name was there, it only boosted his ego that he had a musically talented and academically talented s/o, just like him.

he definitely interrogated you when he talked to you on the phone later that night, jokingly pouting when you had to rush to tell him that you were under a contract not to tell anyone when helping produce the song, but your worries were quickly brushed away when he told you how much he loved you, and how much he loved the song as well.

𝐲𝐮𝐣𝐢𝐧

you were one of the producers for 'say my name' on boys planet, so when he saw you in the room for recording the song, he was both equally shocked and amazed that you had been behind the catchy song he was performing to later that week.

he dragged you out into the corridor after recording the song's vocals, kissing your cheek lightly, holding your hand as he told you how gifted you were in music production.

imagine his surprise when you told him you were also producing the title track for when zb1 debuted after the final.

Kriss’s Top 10 WORST Kpop Debuts

I’ve learned a number of things in my 3 years as a kpop fan (5 if you count when I was a blink but pretended to hate it).

There’s too many idols named Chaeyoung

Kpop fans are immune to admitting things are bad unless it’s from an artist they dislike

But I get it to an extent. The level of devotion kpop basically forces you to give to your favorite artists is breeding ground for people who take said devotion a little far. Why do you think Sultry Films got doxxed? But regardless I’m gonna put myself in the aforementioned minefield and present to you my Top 10 WORST Kpop Debuts.

10. Baby Monster - Batter Up

Something I noticed about Batter Up when it came out was that it showed me how companies would rather play it safe strictly working by formula. The badass I love myself concept that YG does not wanna let go of. As for the song itself it feels like a rollercoaster that only goes up one short hill and very slowly at that. On the bright side at least we’ll get a boatload of memes related to that one girl saying “Remember me”, whom I ironically can’t remember the name of.

9. ITZY - Dalla Dalla (달라 달라)

Dalla Dalla has always felt unfinished ever since the first listen. It’s certainly a fun song to listen to, but like “playing Connect 4 by yourself” fun. The only true standout parts are the pre chorus and bridge, mainly due to Yuna’s voice. I like to think Dalla Dalla is the slightly worse predecessor to Wannabe. Maybe I’d give it more props if it weren’t for that grating “KEEP ON DREAMIN” part in the dance break. JYP only does his job when it comes to Japanese title tracks because he knows all the international fans are preparing for a recession.

8. miss A - Bad Girl, Good Girl

I’m all for miss A’s concept of female empowerment, but I’m not sure if 15 year old Suzy Bae doing pelvic thrusts and shaking ass was a great way to show that. Other than that some of the melodies are just abysmal beyond repair. Min’s “내가 더 뻔해” part still haunts my dreams. But I have them earlier on the list because I do still listen to it now and then and at least they make up for it by having other songs that are actually good. At least it’s easy to play on JYP Superstar

7. LE SSERAFIM - Fearless

The minimalism trend is the worst thing to hit kpop and I’ll die on that hill. Everyone acts like NewJeans kickstarted it but the catalyst was clearly this song and its equally bland album cover. Again, we have minors shaking ass in the music video; who was surprised? And Blue Flame is kinda better but HYBE hates women so we all knew that was never getting an official music video

6. UNIS - Superwoman

Though I was a bit upset that some picks didn’t get in I gave UNIS a chance. I expected a more hyper bubbly concept like Very x3 by IOI but it felt like a b-side that was reworked over and over again to be a title track. There’s so much more they could’ve done since the girls are very talented, especially Gehlee. Survival show groups now really get the short end of the stick. Just holding hopes and prayers that they don’t fumble the I-Land 2 girls

5. GOT7 - Girls Girls Girls

JYP stylist applications should have a section that reads “Check here if you smoke crack” because nobody but a crackhead could give JayB and Yugyeon such fuckass haircuts. The song is just so grating and sing-talky. The only thing that makes this MV a less painful watch is the fact that Nayeon and Jeongyeon are there

4. Jini - C’mon (ft. Aminé)

I was really excited to see what Jini would do after she left NMIXX like everyone else so I was largely confused when we got generic mall music instead. It’s nothing offensively shitty but what pisses me off more is the random Aminé feature that added nothing. Also to answer the everyone’s question, there is no “reason“ why Jini left. I believe she left for a reason but it isn’t known to the public because it’s simply not our business.

3. Amber Liu - Shake That Brass

Now who told this heifer she was a Shinee member?. The little orchestra bit is cute, it’s also full of cameos because Amber is not that relevant. Also I thank Taeyeon for her attempt or save this song even if contribution is short. And again SM made the mistake of giving Amber a rap song. This girl is talented but the world will never see that talent while she’s busy defending police brutality I suppose

2. Red Velvet - Ice Cream Cake

This was one of many of the disasters created during Min Heejin’s reign of terror at SM which is why I contemplated putting Cookie instead. My main issue with the song is the lyrics and the unnecessary rap at the end. Other than that the “I scream you scream” is mildly annoying but nothing to make a ruckus over.

And the number 1 worst debut, taking the first place spot….

1. Loosemble - Sensitive

Oh don’t look at me like that. Every orbit knows in their heart that they could’ve done better with our girls. The “ah ah ah ah” adlibs after the chorus are so robotic and unnecessary. The aesthetics of the music video are gorgeous but that’s like the last good thing about Sensitive. I really haven’t been feeling any of the redebuts but with how hostile orbits are this is likely the last time I’ll talk about them here

[cosmicalily]

nayeon - 'na' mini album review + ranking

'something' - when i heard the audio teaser for this, i was immediately SO excited. then when i heard the start of this song, i was even more excited. 'SAY MY NAME' who?? that guitar SCREAMS iconic y2k track. i love this genre for twice (see basics & rush) and i feel like the way this track was produced works SO well for the overall vibe of the album. liquid drum and bass (at least the very simple, dreamy style of it) has become almost a bit overdone in my opinion due to the newjeansification of kpop (not dealing with that here) but the use of the guitar in the background gives it that iconic y2k feeling similar to destiny's child and tlc. i think overall this is a really easy to listen to track, however i definitely did expect a little more from it after listening to the audio snippet. would've loved more of the nayeon rap because that's what i was most excited for!

'count it' - this is so dreamy, it reminds me a bit of 'wishing on you' from jihyo's solo album, which is one of my favs. i love a slow nayeon song that solely focuses on her super sweet, smooth vocals and i feel like it's nice to hear her lower voice for a change too, especially bc jyp absolutely makes her (and jihyo) work overtime with those high ass adlibs in their group songs. this was honestly everything i wanted from this song; slow, an easy listen, beautiful, minimal production that still doesn't feel boring or repetitive, and that ending was honestly my fave thing EVER! could listen to it on repeat, and most definitely will. it felt like the perfect outro song for this album too.

'magic' - that prechorus is SO delicious oh my god! nayeon and julie is literally giving the kpop version of every iconic collab in the 2010s between an insane vocalist and badass rapper (i'm thinking nikki minaj, ariana grande, iggy azalea before she got cancelled lol) however, i actually don't love the chorus as much as i was hoping! it definitely fits the vibe of the song but i feel like it didn't entirely live up to my expectations for it. of course, julie's vocals are absolutely insane, i'll never not go on about them, and nayeon absolutely ate! i feel like this track again matches the late 2000s vibes i'm getting from the album, with a little more this would have 110% been my favourite song.

'abcd' - NAYONCE WHO??? i'm actually not joking at all, this was absolutely what the kpop industry needed. that very typical young, teenager-y y2k concept has honestly been entirely overdone (yk what i'm talking about, every girl group and their mother's been a victim of it welp) so i'm SO GLAD that icons like kiss of life and now nayeon have decided to bring back mature y2k! we need trashy! we need camp! we need intense instrumentals and sassy raps and lyrics! pop was so cute and i adore it for her, but i love seeing the more adult concept for nayeon too, esp bc she's almost 30 now and i feel like she needed something a little more. this feels very very very much like crazy in love by beyonce, which kind of does unsettle me a little, it's not a bad thing but that song is VERY iconic so it feels like a very tricky song to try and replicate even when its done a bit differently, because there's always gonna be comparisons regardless and a song like that just cannot be outdone, no matter how iconic nayeon is. however, it's different to all the recent releases we've had in kpop so imma let it slide. also, i was VERY disappointed by the fact that this track, the TITLE TRACK, was less than three minutes. why tf are ALL of the bsides longer?? the math is not mathing. i was really hoping short song syndrome wouldn't hit 3rd gen kpop but apparently it has, which is actually so sucky. also i highkey hate jyp's promotion methods bc y'all did NOT need to spoil the entire chorus?? like i would've enjoyed this so much more if it was a suprise yk. that felt like a really dumb move especially when there wasn't even a super different crazy end chorus so that felt like a bad decision but oh well. solid title track, 9/10 (-2 for the shortness of the song and promotions). and final thoughts, i feel like jihyo also would've eaten this concept up. after seeing namoji perform 10 minutes, i've been needing them to do a song as a subunit and i feel like this would've fitted them as a trio SO well.

'halligalli' - she's cute, she's bubbly, but not too childish either. she JUST fits into this album's concept in my opinion, and it feels like the classic twice bside recipe (this isn't a bad thing, but it does sound like something i've heard before from twice and it fits into their discography well). however, sticking to the classics isn't a bad thing at all, often if you have all new genres an album can feel daunting and too diverted from the identity you felt the artist was originally showing. so i think this is a very safe but cute track. it'll go on my playlist, but i feel like she's a tiny bit forgettable.

'butterflies' - can someone explain to me why this wasn't on the 'im nayeon' album? because this SCREAMS that concept. it's super cute and very nayeon-esque, but i feel like it takes away from the more mature concept this album was leaning towards? it feels very teenage y2k lovesong, which is super cute, but this album was gearing more towards iconic y2k artists in their adult prime so i feel like this doesn't quite resonate with that. i'll definitely listen to it because it's a good track, but probably not in conjunction with the rest of the album since it doesn't fit my mental vibe for it lmao.

'heaven' - out of the two slow tracks, 'count it' was honestly my favourite. i think its also because this song was fully english and it felt like an overload of entirely english songs in this album, which is lowkey weird for me to say as an international fan, but it feels like twice is trying too hard to globalise its audience and is forgetting about their initial fanbase. like twice has been doing one english track in their albums for a bit now, but even the title track for this album was very english heavy and so were most of the bsides. three out of six bsides were english, and the others still have a lot of english lyrics. anyways, it just didn't stick out to me as much as the other songs, still very sweet and nice to listen to but not particularly outstanding in my eyes. it'll definitely end up on my playlist though!

let me know your opinions on this comeback. i personally adore this image for nayeon and think it was overall a solid album!

[official-saul-goodman]

No but legitimately the way kpop singers use "sexy mysterious and EXOTIC" sounds that wholly come from South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African countries in their 'badass' concept music videos and comebacks, it's obvious that they think Brown and Black people have an inherent sexiness to them as well as an inherent danger because we have darker skin and are therefore naturally scary. Like I was excited for the EXID comeback but it's literally just an appropriation of common Middle Eastern melodies in a song to 'amp up' the feeling of 'ooh look at us we're so dangerous'. Like what is wrong with you? Fucking idiots.

Like there's such an orientalist mindset generally around all ppl of darker skinned ethnicities or indo-arabic heritages like what is wrong with these people. What makes our cultures so mysterious and dangerous and sexy and exotic for them.

[siphoklansan]

Any songs you like to listen to when you draw👀✨?

OOOOOOO good question!!

Depends in my mood, actually :,) I usually put my songs on shuffle, and when something comes up that sets the mood right I just go: *sighs* opens procreate/j

For example, Earned It - The Weeknd or any slow sensual songs makes me wanna draw badass slay-ish art

And if any kpop songs (especially something that sounds like it came out of a shoujo anime *cough* Mr.Chu *cough* I’d feel the need to draw something cute and wholesome!!

Sorry for the lengthy reply but yeahhhh I listen to music CONSTANTLY.

[nctzenkane]

Nctzen Kane presents... the top 10 Kpop Songs of 2022!!!

This year was insanely good musically, so it was really difficult to narrow it down to just ten fantastic songs.  If your fave didn’t end up here... then make your own list, what do you think this is?

Anyway, without further dudes...

NUMBER TEN: FOREVER 1- GIRL’S GENERATION

 This song feels like a wish come true. It’s not the most complex or interesting song out there, but it deserves its spot on this list just for the fact that we got a full group comeback from the one and only SNSD in the year of the goddess Hylia 2022.  I love the vibes of it, it puts me in a great mood, and that’s enough for it to be on here

 NUMBER NINE: VENOM- STRAY KIDS

 All I need to say to justify this one is… pewpewpew

 But seriously, this song’s beat is so SKZ that it’s INSANE. Like disgustingly addictive, springy sound that perfectly encapsulates the feel of a spider’s legs. It’s so fucking *chef’s kiss*. Of all the songs on the Oddinary album, this one really tickles my brain just the right way. However, there is one other song on the album that works just a tiny bit better…

 NUMBER EIGHT: MANIAC- STRAY KIDS

 And that’s Maniac.  All the disparate pieces of this song coalesce in a way that is just so perfect. I’ve always loved the way SKZ utilizes Felix’s unique voice, and the chorus of Maniac is the perfect example of that. It’s an absolute bop, and the superior track on an album with no skips

 NUMBER SEVEN: OPENING SEQUENCE- TXT

 I love TXT. I love everything about them so much. But what I didn’t love, was Good Boy Gone Bad. It pained me to admit that when the track dropped, so imagine my delight when I started listening to the album and I heard this absolute gem.  I love the atmosphere of this song so much, and TXT is incredibly skilled at capturing feelings of discomfort and desolation in their music, and those feelings fit the lyrical content perfectly

 NUMBER SIX: I HATE YOU- WOODZ

 The pop punk trend in kpop is one of the best things to happen to the genre in years, and in my opinion, there’s no one better suited to capture it than Woodz.  In the past I’ve described Woodz as something of a musical chameleon; able to tackle any genre and absolutely kill it.  He captures the carefree “fuck you” vibes of early 2000s pop punk effortlessly, and I’d love to hear more of this sound from him in the future

 NUMBER FIVE: 28 REASONS- SEULGI

 Seulgi as a dark, sensual, domineering badass? Yes. Very yes.

 Jokes aside, Seulgi absolutely murdered this concept both visually and musically.  I’m not sure if it was meant to be a throwback, but it definitely reminds me of something Aaliyah would’ve released in the late 90s. This was a strong solo debut for one of kpop’s most high profile aces, and I really can’t wait to see what she’ll do next

  NUMBER FOUR: CYBERPUNK- ATEEZ

 This song is why I love ATEEZ as much as I do. This shit hits you like a wall of unstoppable sound the moment the chorus kicks off, and it’s the type of sonic euphoria that I’ve been desperately missing with 4th gen groups. It’s no secret that this generation has pivoted more towards choreography and elaborate concepts, and away from killer vocals like 2nd and 3rd gen.  That’s not necessarily a bad thing mind you, but ATEEZ proves why having killer vocals is such an asset.  I love every second of this one start to finish, and uh… let’s just say those concert stages were iconic *wink wink*

 NUMBER THREE: TIME LAPSE- NCT 127

 I mean it when I say that the 2 Baddies album might be NCT 127’s best one yet.  Almost every song is phenomenal, but none more so than Time Lapse.  I love the attention to detail; the computerized/digitized sounds at the beginning, and the old Hollywood style music sting at the end really tie in well with the concept of ‘time’, and the fucking CHORUS. Every czennie has been bumping “can we fix it?!” for MONTHS.  It was hard for me to pick a single song from this album, but after some thought, I knew it just had to be this one

 NUMBER TWO: BEGIN- ONLYONEOF’S YOOJUNG

 OnlyOneOf’s “UndergrOund IdOl” project has been one of the best things to ever happen in the history of kpop.  What really endears me to it is not just its unflinching depictions of explicit queerness (no teasing or implication here) but also the fact that the music is ACTUALLY GOOD.  Not gonna say any names (not looking to insult people here) but we shouldn’t have to sacrifice musical quality just to have some queer rep in the industry.  Of all the releases so far though, I think the one that kicked it off is still the best.  There’s just something magical about Begin; I’m not sure if its his delivery of the lyrics, the mellow energy of the track that builds to a satisfying climax, or just the relatability of the single line “hate this city” as a queer person.  Whatever it is makes Begin such a perfect song, and so far its yet to be topped by the rest of the series in my opinion

 HONORABLE MENTIONS (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER)

 -The rest of the UndergrOund IdOl series (Be Mine, Be Free, Because, and Beat)- OnlyOneOf

-Gold Rush- NCT 127

-Birthday- Ten

-Limbo- Jun

-Pose- Kino

-Gasoline- Key

-Hair Cut- Xdinary Heroes

-Taste- Stray Kids Danceracha

-3racha- Stray Kids 3racha

 NUMBER ONE: STRAWBERRY CAKE- XDINARY HEROES

 Yeah, if you know me, this is no surprise.  I’ve been a Villain since Happy Death Day, and this band just keeps getting better and better with every release.  I love their unique sound and their insane vocals are truly showcased on this track. The moment I heard this one, I knew it was gonna be my number one song of the year and as the months passed, nothing quite managed to dethrone it.  I can not fucking wait to see how the guys evolve as time goes on

i keep seeing clips from the l3 ss3raf!m documentary and maaaan i have thoughts

i don't think they realize that they are shooting themselves in the foot. Like i obvs feel that they have the right to express how they feel and hardships. Also, i know the entertainment and esp the idol industry play up/dramatized, but at the same time le sserafim isn't special.... like chaewon being on ivs when it feels that is a news story each week for another girl in a girl group. which is terrible(!), but not unique. like the girl group hate train has went after other groups and you don't see them locking comments and all that.

Not that they should leave hateful comments up or not turn them off, but at this rate they should leave them turned off. like the haters are still making videos shitting on them. like i think hate is bad and antis are stupid for the record.

Also, sakura saying shes upset people are saying she improved instead of just being good or whatever. which i get it since it is a back handed compliment, but some of those performances werent great and ngl i do expect a lil more from her since she has been an idol for so long. She should know how the industry works at this rate yknow. commenting that shes getting better not good is hurtful, but i dunno man

Also, yunjin being upset that people are throwing her own words at her is so ??? "I want to change the idol industry" like yes kpop fans are too stupid to realize change wont happen overnight, but at the same time i was expecting her to try and tip the industry a bit more. Again, tho she is a part of a big label so lets be real, how much would actually change. I also think since yunjin is chronically online, for worse, is/was/is exposing herself to the hate more.

I think their concept of trying to be like badass girlboss' also makes seem something? like thay had fuck off haterz songs and they are antifragile and shit. like i dont want to seem like im downplaying the girls work and the hate, i think they work hard and people arent realizing they are people, but this documentary seems so mhm a choice. it def feels like hybe/source music is trying to get pity points instead of whatever they think it was supposed to bring to the hate mob. i think le sserafim is brave for sharing this side of the industry and themselves, but also i feel the label should be doing more. giving them more breaks, changing the music to actually fit their voices, choreo that allows them to sing and dance, and so on. like im blaming the label more for allowing this to happen and pushing them to be under these circumstances than the girls themselves. they are the ones having them perform their songs out of their range then saying fuck em when they have to do it live.

again the haters are using clips of them almost collapsing or eunchae hyperventilating with text like "man all that practice to sound like that" or worse. even the subtitle "make it look easy" when people were saying that derogatorily like....i don't think higher ups thought about this fully and this is just going be worse on the girls. like some of the quote retweets were so rude and hateful! they are gonna read those comments and feel worse!

Again, i don't think the girl's deserve the hate they got. They had some shitty encores and live performances. both can be true at the same time which has happened to most groups at one point or another. i dont think le sserafim cant air out their problems or how they feel or whatever, but making it seem its only a le sserafim issue is crazy!

i mean i want the best for the girls and hope they are able to move past it, but unless their next cb is a banger i fear its just going be a cycle of this shit. like i feel like the label is making things harder for them.

lmao to add to a longass post already i guess they have been making documentaries for a while, i didn't follow them that closely, so its not strange for them releasing another, but man i wish they put a lil more thought into it. like i just feel like fans feel for the girls while haters are doubling down not really turning the tide like they maybe hoped. tbh i only see the hate dying down once a new group is here to hate (sadly).

cannot stress enough i have no ill will toward the girls and what them to be successful and they do not deserve hate. hate and constructive criticism is to completely different things.

Kpop title track ranking: BoA

In this series I’ll be ranking kpop groups/soloists title tracks based on my taste.

Next up is the legendary BoA! If you are a new kpop fan and have not really listened to BoA's songs, please, do yourself the favor of checking her songs out. Her discography is diverse, so I assure there is something for everyone! With that out of the way, let's get to the ranking, shall we?

One Shot, Two Shot - It's cheerful, catchy, and easy to listen to. What else could I ask for? It just is captivating to me and I really really like it!

Only One - A classic for a reason. The whole package just works. It's just so well executed break-up story and the instrumentation is so so pleasant with BoA's lovely vocals.

Forgive Me - Well. I have been just flat out wrong about this one. I thought I didn't like it but now listening to it, wow it's great! The rock influence feels so fresh here. The rap feels maybe a tad unnecessary for me but other than that this is really cool and I have to give it the credit it deserves.

Hurricane Venus - My first BoA song! Severe amount of autotune but I can't help that the nostalgia makes me forgive that.

Girls On Top - Obviously the age of the song shows heavily but it just is so badass! Especially considering when it was released.

Better - Better was better than what I remembered. (yes, I'll see myself out) It has way too much catchiness to it for me to pass it by.

Copy & Paste - Admittedly not one of those songs that I would have listened to a lot but something in it makes me think it's pretty cool and I should have listened to more to it.

Woman - Cool and adult. Not just my personal favorites but undoubtedly deserving this spot.

Kiss My Lips - Just so well done song. Not thematically my fav but I can't ignore the catchiness of this one either.

My Name - My Name is undoubtedly cool. Gotta like it. No.1 - I mean this song was hugely popular for a reason. It's an easy to listen to upbeat number.

ID; Piece B - The age of the song is easy to spot. But still it's cool. And oh my was she good already despite being incredibly young.

Moto - I have to admit I only recognized the chorus. Hence, even though it sounds very cool, I can't lift it above the songs that I have listened to more. But clearly I should listen to this more often!

Atlantis Princess - For this one I don't have any personal nostalgia that would bump it up a bit. It's a perfectly fine song but for some reason I haven't really been the biggest fan of it personally.

Starry Night ft. Crush - Well here's one that has clearly completely went past my radar. Not the most interesting song either, so I'm not too sorry about the spot at the bottom.

Other songs needing a mention: Encounter - This was love on the first listen. Such a great one, highly recommend checking this one out! Shattered - It took me a while to fall for this one but it really is great. Camo & Nega Dola - Such a great ones that ended up not being title tracks like they should have been for no apparent reason. Valenti (Korean version) - For some reason this was the version I heard first and now it's the one I exclusively listen to. Energetic, Eat You Up, I Did It For Love, Did Ya - They very much sound like the western radio hits of that time and that's what they should have been. They sound nostalgic to me and the English is not an issue in these songs. Just impressive. Only downside here is that official versions of the bsides/music video-less songs seem to not be anywhere =/ Hence I'm not linking Did Ya here.

[struggle-but-its-all-ocean-floor]

I didn't want to immediately think of baby monster as a copy of blackpink, both bc that's lazy of yg and bc so many people were already so ready to think that that I was afraid of being primed into thinking that too, but their new song is bp 2.0 in a disappointing way. Don't get me wrong, I think the chorus is catchy. The rappers especially are clearly Lisa and Jennie-coded, and the way they call themselves 'boss baby' after hearing bp call themselves 'boss bitch' so many times, it just is what it is. Coupled with it being unclear whether bp is renewing their contract the intention is obvious, and of course yg wants to copy its success. I don't think it'll be easy to really step into bp's shoes, bc part of the reason they grew so popular so quickly is bc the girl crush lane was pretty open, and it's not anymore. Meanwhile nj has been so successful bc they had a fresher concept that the gp was craving (and they're reportedly already planning to evolve it further in the vein of 'cool with you' - seemingly more low-fi contemporary). That being said, there are a lot of companies to make the west's new kpop(-esque) gg - hybe with katseye, jyp with vcha and yg with babymonster, and the west probably will only support one, so maybe there is a need for a bp successor. What gg concepts do you think have a chance of really breaking through in the west beyond what's happened so far with nj?

(p.s. sm made an interesting, possibly really smart, choice to focus on making a European boy group. Maybe this is a reach, but I think the greater interest in making a new western-oriented gg rather than a bg says something about how these companies are viewing bts' prospective popularity over the next couple years. I think most people assume that the west would really only support one big bg, so focusing on ggs may suggest that other companies expect bts to maintain their same level of popularity for a long time)

They honestly didn't remind me too much of BP, though there were many similarities. No offense to the girls, but the BP members are beautiful and always dressed in expensive clothes. I don't remember their debut song, but I don't think they were fresh-faced teenagers either. I noticed that the members had Western-style vocals, (they seemed like competent singers), like Jennie and Rosé, and one of them reminded me of Lisa. The Jennie/Lisa similarities were there for other members (unrelated, but one of the girls really reminded me of Alexa, actually). There was a scene where one of the girls wore a glamorous red dress, and she reminded me of Jisoo. Regardless, the overall product is way worse than anything I've heard from BP, and I'm not even their fan. The girls just don't have star power yet and the song isn't very catchy, nor trendy, and the visuals aren't there either.

YG really mustn't understand the current industry. This sound is the same sound many ggs have these days. To me, it was like BP mixed with XG, Alexa, and other lesser known groups. The MV was super low budget, their styling was awful, the dancing wasn't memorable (but the girls were good), the rapping was terrible (much harder to take than when it's Lisa and Jennie, since the posturing was a lot more obvious).

I can't imagine this group being successful like this, although they already are? It just feels like YG is stuck in the past. I think only Hybe is putting out stuff that doesn't feel dated or that has been done by their group before.

The West doesn't care about "concepts" the way kpop does. It's all about music and image. NJ don't have a badass image but they don't have a cutesy one either, and their music works for people because it's trendy, easy listening, and doesn't sound too kpop. What works in the West is stuff that isn't so kpop you can't enjoy it. Before I got into kpop, I listened to BP and immediately understood why they were popular and why the other groups couldn't touch them. They were the only gg I could listen to because they sounded Western and didn't have cringe cute concepts (I liked KTL, but I honestly didn't watch their MVs or anything). At first, BP, Mamamoo, G(I)-dle, RV, EXID, were the only groups I could like because they didn't have cutesy concepts.

Still, cringe fake badass concepts like this one won't work at all either. The girls can't pull it off. I think a strong image is important, because girls who look fragile and like they're acting innocent may turn men on, but certainly turn women off, and won't be taken seriously at all, yet, other than that, I think music's the biggest factor - maybe that's innocent of me. I don't believe NJ will ever be like BP. They lipsync all their stages and don't seem particularly exciting to me. Imo BP aren't great performers, but they engage the audience and sing live, so they give out a lot more energy and are more powerful and charismatic. I don't believe any group who lipsyncs all their stages will make it in the West. Naive? Maybe. But I think there's a reason why BTS and BP are where they are, and why SKZ have such impact. Maybe I'm biased. I certainly don't know the industry well.

I can't comment on the SM group, but I think it's going to be a long time before these international groups actually do well. Again, maybe I'm wrong. I don't understand what people like that well.

Oh, forgot to say that I liked the instrumental in the beginning a lot before the song got progressively worse. I liked the party outro too. I think the rapping ruined the song more than anything else.

Thanks for the ask!

[hijirikaww]

I'm taking u up on that offer to talk about ateez. Tho can't be categorized as talking because I'm not talking I'm screaming. IN ANY CASE. I watched today's stage 🤍 Bless me. And it's no surprise to us that ateez have always had incredible stage presence! BUT it's the same for when we say they just keep getting better and better with every comeback. Like how do you already top being ontop alrdy? Not only to they manage to outdo themselves every album with every title track, the mv and choreo, but they improve literally in every aspect. They just keep evolving and I'm here for every step of the way! But you literally cannot expect me, a normal breathing folk with asthma (I've outgrown it but point stands), to withstand there insanity. Like they gotta let us catch up! They're like casually strolling themselves to world domination and we're on their trail! But we're literally sprinting after them tired and breathing heavy lmao. We're dedicated and determined that way. OFF TRACK I ACTUALLY CAME HERE TO TALK TO U ABOUT UYOUNG. He's always been so eye capturing. His features (okay but all of atz.. I just.. Nvm let's focus on uyoung) BUT HIS SMILE TODAY. THAT FOX SMILE GOT ME GIGGLING AND RUNNING LAPS. I'M SO OVERWHELMED :( HIS EYES ARE LURING ME IN and he's SO UNBELIEVABLY ATTRACTIVE and HIS PRESENCE IS SO CHARMING. His undoing my existence 🙈 and Choi san. He's.. Choi San. And Yeosang energy is strangling me. Mingi is trampling all over me. Jongho has me weak and in the palm of his hand. And Yunho, God Yunho! How and where and what and why! But Yunho. Can someone like him even be real? And matz, they're on a whole other level. Seonghwa rapping is no surprise and him being amazing at it even more not surprising. He's literally so AMAZING. AND OUR ALL ROUNDED talented captain. Hongjoong outdoing himself this comeback. Only ateez can outdo ateez 🤍 they make me so proud. And so pathetic sometimes

🫶🏻 The End

Doing this back to front, but Hii. I hope ur doing well on another blessed day of living in a time wher we coexist with ateez 🤗 take care of urself too kk🤭

Omg hii thank you for coming to my inbox to share all of these thoughts with me, you are so right!!!!

Every single comeback I have two feelings; on the one hand I simply KNOW that they are going to outdo themselves once again, and I cannot wait to see what they do next. On the other hand after every single comeback I am like ??????????? How are they ever going to beat that??? Heck last year was a freaking rollercoaster where they dropped one badass album after album after single after album after single..... oml. Just the thought that we will get to continue to experience this for years to come is such a blessing?!?

I have legit had the album on repeat non stop on spotify ever since it came out. It is so good, so catchy and such a bop! What I find even more incredible this time around is that there really is no distinction of awesomeness between the songs? Mostly we got at least some fluffy songs and some badass ones together on one album, but this time around ATEEZ decided to release just straight fire 0O0 wooo!!

I showed my bf the mv (and he is NOT fond of kpop) and he was very seriously impressed by the video!! The music might not be his things but he was adorably hooked to the screen as he watched it <3

You speak of us fans having trouble keeping up - they really don't make it easy for us!!! Just how many things do they want to do at the same time???? They are filming shows left and right, doing their tours on and on and on and fansigns and singles and full comebacks like- how are they learning new choreos AND recording AND writing AND producing songs not only for ATEEZ but also Xickers?!!?!?!? Excuse me but do these guys even have time to sleep nowadays?? I really don't know how they do it. Seriously though, the sheer amount of times they have dropped a single out of the blue without saying a word of warning about it is getting out of hand by now.

AND THEIR JAPANESE SINGLES ARE SUCH BOPS HOW?! IT ISN'T EVEN YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE YA CRAZY BEANS

About Wooyoungie... I have been fighting for my life to resist his charm, and he isn't letting anyone off the hook easily!! How do they all just get more and more gorgeous by the day?? Genuinely it has been such a blessing to get to see them all growing up into full adults, and something tells me that they haven't even finished maturing yet (not that their minds will ever probably XD). Sometimes you can just see in their faces how they will look when they are older, and they will only become even more stunning I swear we have no rest in this world whatsoever. And San and Yeo bulking up? holy moly.

And omg yes hi XD I am doing alright! I hope you are too, drink and eat plenty okay?? You deserve all the best ^_^

Ive seen a lot of accs do this moot game recently & it seems fun ! u shld do it if u want ---- "if you n youre moots were in a kpop group together whatd be your each positions, group lines (based on personality traits) and group concept"

@wonvelvet — yeonie is 100% the main vocalist and I take no suggestions period. IDK?? LIKE YEONIE IS SOFT AND SEEMS LIKE SHE'D HAVE A REALLY PRETTY AND ANGELIC VOICE??? as for concept, I definitely see a concept like red velvets "feel my rhythm?" I feel like it matches bc yeonie doesn't exactly fit the "cute" concept? She's more elegant and mature which matches the whole rv's concept

@maiverie — mai hi ily 😘 I feel like mai would be the main dancer? Mai feels like the dance leader that gives all the proper feedback so the group can improve and enrich their performance skills? Mai would be that one person the leader really leans on and she probably does a lot of the dorm cleaning,,, LMAO IDK I JUST FEEL LIKE MAI IS SUPER RESPONSIBLE. but she's also really down to earth and someone you can go to for advice! As for concept, mai gives me like itzy vibes?? I'm getting wannabe Era

@httpheeseung — emma gives me leader vibes HOHO,,, idk something just matches??? Like emma is really down to earth and she has lots of patience (have you read this girl's fics?? Like they're so long but yet the quality still remains perfect at the end?? Idk how she's does it but it's amazing) BUT I'm getting the overworked leader vibe where she needs to take care of her members bc they're a bunch of screaming crackheads FQHAFAAB. as for concept, emma gives me like sporty girl crush vibes? Like if stray kids' my pace was a girl group song? iDK HELP

@acciomylove — fae feels like she'd be the visual? Idk something about fae is really caring and soft??? Like whenever we interact, fae is so so so kind and 🥺 but she's also a crackhead at times (eHEM wHEN rpatz is brought up) as for concept, I think like chocome's super yuppers? Like the cute outfits with the fluffy fur things?

@lunaflvms — luna is def the moodmaker of the team + main dancer! Luna's humor is outta this world and GOSH IDK IF ITS BC OF THE HYUNJIN GIFS BUT I FEEL LIKE LUNA WOULD BE THE MAIN DANCER??? IDK IT JUST SITS RIGHT WITH ME??? but luna is that one member everyone goes to when they're feeling down. I feel like she'd be the type to scream and yell abt gaming with other members. As for concept, I think maybe like aespa's dreams come true mv??? It fits okay, it just does 😌👊

@jaesvelvet — cha gives me the vocalist vibes?? Like you'd have a really nice voice which contrasts your visuals?? Like I imagine cha having really sharp facial features but having a really soft voice?? Like cha looks all badass and all but in reality she's soft 💖🥺 as for concept, I think like a monochrome concept and really like elegant??? Idk? Like red velvet ish?

@atrirose — roselyn is a badass period. Rapper vibes here we come! No arguments made here! Like it's not even the seoyeon theme, like even before you had the theme, you gave off seoyeon vibes. Like you can sing , dance, and compose, but you're strong suit is rapping?? IDK IT JUST MAKES SENSE??? As for concept, I'm getting like nmixx vibes? (Girll I love nmixx sm, so pls this is not slander or anything. I genuinely love their concept)

@iz-hoonz — do we even have to think abt this one?????! YUI IS THE VISUAL PERIOD. I ACCEPT NO CRITICISM AT ALL!! yui gives off like hoon + wonyoung vibes??? Like tall and really friking charismatic? Hellaur yui just gives off big visual vibes🤩 as for concept, I think izone's concept matches you?? Like it just fits

@juniblvssom — liv is giving me like unhinged leader vibes (totally not bc of the jyp fic /j) but idk liv seems really responsible and I think people would really find comfort in her? Gives the best advice and Is pretty much good at everything. As for concept, I think like fantasy concept would suit liv?? Like a lighter version of dreamcatcher's concept?? IDK QFAHQFABQ

@ethereal-engene — ash is the eldest of the group no doubt. (plus, main vocal) ash is really mature and also fun, so I think the members would really love communicating with her and she'd give great advice 🥺💖 ash is giving me like old bts vibes??? Idk?? Like anything from Like boy in luv to Like spring day?? SCRATCH THAT, SPRING DAY IS PERFECT??? LIKE IDK IT FITS SO WELL

@enloveclub — miyu is probably the youngest, but she's the main dancer hellaur. Like the power she holds??? Everyone is so in awe that she can dance so well even when she's the youngest? Like miyu gives me niki vibes except with the personality of like sunoo or smth idk HAHAHQ. but like miyu reminds me of kyujin from nmixx! As for concept, I think like gfriend's concepts match miyu!

@twilightau — macs is giving me the lead vocalist hello yes. I HAVE NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS, I JUST THINK IT MATCHES REALLY WELL?? macs is also the most mature in her group I think, and she keeps the group from going crazy on vlive or sum. As for concept, I think gidle's lion matches macs!

@liliansun — lilac is definitely leader material, like this is one responsible and respectful women right here! Lilac is always taking care of her group mates to make sure they're feeling okay! I feel like lilac would have daily check-ins with the members before they head to bed. She's probably an idol that people really look up to due to her maturity and skillset ofc! As for concept, I think lilac matches dreamcatcher's concept

@vmpnoo — fray gives me maknae on top vibes. Like a you're maker but also the group really cherishes her HAHA,,, but ofc fray is also very mature and Intelligent hohoho. I'm getting like niki vibes bc i feel like fray would be a dancer IDK WHY I JUST THINK AGAJQHA👊 as for concept, I think fray also gives me dreamcatcher??? MAYBE ITS THE HORROR THEME U HAVE?? IDK BUT ITS SO PERFECT

@jungwoniics — Lia is the vocalist hello. Like it just makes sense. Lia is really soft and kind and her group members would wonder how such a kind soul exists?? hahahHQH IDK but i feel like Lia would have like a lower voice than expected??? Idk like a very unique voice! As for concept, I think ive's concept would match lia

@haechanhues niwa I like the lead vocalist and has a low range?? Idk niwa seems like she'd look like the main rapper but actually is the lead vocalist??? IDK IT FITS IN MY HEAD GAHHHH,,, as for concept, I think like mamamoo's starry night would match!

@jalnandanz xae is like the youngest and I feel like xae would be good at everything?? An all-rounder 🤩 but excels in vocals and dance?? As for concept, I think xae matches ive's concept or even stayc!
