fave 2024 korean releases

IMPORTANT CAVEAT: I HAVE YET TO LISTEN TO 'AAA' BY HYUKOH x SUNSET ROLLERCOASTER! IT IS NOT ON THIS LIST! I AM WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIMING! IT IS NOT TIME YET!

on to this year's list:

beautiful world - kimhwol

akin to its album cover, it's best to listen when you are out on a walk. kim hwol's voice cradles you like a beating fire, like a baby bird. while forest child might be the best song of the album, my favorite is the demo track of dear my love with its plinky piano which i find particularly delightful. sparse, basic, but each tracks soars.

yin - colde

i was hesitant to place this here since it's only 3 tracks long but considering it's on my top spotify wrapped, i felt it'd be bias not to give it a place of honor. the background adlib at 3:25 mark in I Color You is laced with cocaine. solid rnb singles, per usual. where is that offonoff album.

dudndudndudn - yujin kim

get on the ground floorrrr. kim yujin is a gorgeous jazz vocalist (listen to her past 2 albums if you haven't) and this EP is rich, bright and her voice is playful and unpretentious. the double track You Love Me / I Love You are so disgustingly cheesy it rounds back to being good. personal fave track is hit me back where it dipped its toe in shoegaze.

orange hour - joyce kwon

have your ever heard an album that is so technically perfect that you get mad? this is that album. i don't even know what else to say.

neom 0541 - BØJEONG

during my first time listening of Unreal, i had to pause and check out if they were a side project of the band The Solutions - they're not. it doesn't mean this release isn't an absolute barn-burner. a concept rock album of landing in a desolate new world, this EP's highlight is Unreal but i implore to stick around for the next track Hyenoid as it hits you with a solo that can melt your face clean right off. check out their latest EP kin as well.

angel interview - meaningful stone, swervy

the latest entry in this list, not even a month old as i am typing this. however, i had a sneaking suspicion this album is going to be an instant shoegaze classic (red car and i open the window instead of the closed door especially) the transition from garage rock esc to house track _()_ is insane.

are you watching at all? - min.a

while i can't say i am a fan of the current epidemic of particularly nasal tiktok singing that's hitting youngsters, min.a is an exception to the rule because she actually has the sauce. by that, her EP thoroughly impresses in its production that i am here for everything she releases from now on. while skipping stones has the play numbers, do not skip on sunshower and petty because they are so cleverly arranged that i don't wanna spoil it.

cool - hyelyn joo

this is a funnnn indie-pop EP with great earworms like Kiss! and Crazy. it's bubbly nature oddly reminds of Lee Jin Ah, albeit steers more safely to the pop side. it's a true crowd pleaser release and each track can be someone's favorite. no on asked but B-Yum is my tongue-in-cheek fave.

the world you live in - ashmute

let it be on the record that everytime they release, it's gonnaaaa be on this list. i prayed for an album from them and my prayers were answered this year. to top it all, it's good and STILL so underrated. Air and Saudade deliver their signature sad sexy bops but surprisingly HARUMADA comes out as the citypop track i didn't know i needed.

honorable mentions:

growing pains - ghost bookstore, miniseries 2 - sumin & slom, play with earth! 03 - wave to earth, "L" - the volunteers, PUMP - epik high, sphere - jooyoung, gimbap - george, entire i & and july - kim kak sung, overtime life - 8호실 peridot, the earth - mrch, bonfire - cifika

Waiting for You. (Series)

(idol!)Seeun x (kq intern!)gn!reader

Genre: exes to lovers, angst (and lots of it) that eventually leads to fluff, some romance, some tension, mayhaps a little violence, some comedy i hope and suggestive

general CWs: the reader is not Korean, is implied to be a foreigner, is an intern at KQ Entertainment. doing my best to keep descriptions of the reader as vague as possible so everyone can imagine whomever they want.

I don't know if it's necessary to say this but the events in this story do not represent Xikers in any way shape or form, this is all purely fictional.

Tiny storyline plot

What will you do when your perfect world comes crashing down after your boyfriend of one year suddenly breaks your heart, with little to no explanation given? And when the explanation does come, it's so hard to believe it when his actions contradict his words.

Characters

Y/n (our favourite main character), an intern in KQ Entertainment working closely with their newer boy group Xikers

Park Seeun, member of Xikers and Y/n's ex-boyfriend

Xikers (ot10) Seeun's bandmates and friends

Seo Jiwoo, Y/n's coworker and close friend at KQ Entertainment

Kim Hana, Y/n's older coworker and close friend

Shin Areum, a model signed to YG entertainment

(some other idols or random names will be mentioned here and there but these are the main people)

Chapters:

Suddenly its over

But why?

It's okay...I'm okay

It's really over, isn't it?

Back to what we were before...

I'm on your side...

min.a Premieres New Video for Her Addictive Single “Hour 24″

New York based Korean-American, min.a, has been steadily garnering attention through her unique brand of pop with glitchy electronic elements. Recent releases such as “Patient” and “Tape It Back Together” display min.a’s vocal strength and lyrical ability, while also showcasing a more experimental side of the artist.

min.a’s recent single “Hour 24″ continues to set her apart from her contemporaries. The song, co-produced by Laiko, is bright, addictive, and incredibly catchy. The accompanying music video, directed by Grace Zhang, is equally as captivating as the song itself. 

min.a continues to impress with every release. She has a clear vision for her own artistic identity and each song or video shows she has a long career ahead of her.

Watch “Hour 24″ by min.a below:

[abductionradiation]

New York City, NY -- Korean-American artist min.a released her newest EP i hope i get well soon earlier this week. The record’s opening track “what do i do” is a contemplative track that spans just under 2.5 minutes long and features Laiko. With the delicate blend of min.a’s soft yet emotive vocals and the heart wrenching production, “what do i do” is a track that captures the vulnerability of wearing your heart on your sleeve. Laiko’s breathy vocals add the perfect texture balance and a delicateness that has a preciousness to it that you don’t want to break.

min.a Shares New Song “company” Off Her Latest EP

One of the most commendable things about Korean-American musician min.a, 23, is that she has been able to succeed despite facing numerous obstacles. It should come as no surprise that her most recent EP, of which the track “company” is a part, is creating quite a lot of excitement. In an effort to reinvigorate her diehard fanbase, she has released a new EP with six new songs titled “I hope I get…
