00z lives 2018 vs. 2020

in the 2018 live when talking about spoilers, hannah and haechan both started doing the same choreography, so jeno stopped haechan while jaemin stopped hannah.

they exchanged a look then continued the choreo, so jeno shoved haechan off the chair while jaemin pulled hannah onto his lap, acting like a straight jacket

(then moments later spoiling choreo again while dancing to chewing gum until renjun shoved them both away)

in the 2020 live, hannah and haechan explained the iphone macbook bit to jeno, then haechan reached over her to pinch jeno’s ears while hannah poked his side.

jeno just pinched haechan’s arm and started tickling her side, making them both start yelling

Bonus Clip #3 | Analog Trip NCT 127: Escape From Magic Island

they all agreed to throw haechan into the water, and he runs away and hides behind hannah

and she looks at the older members, grabs a paddle and looks at them “i will splash you if you touch my twin!” but there was a splash behind her.

she turned around and saw haechan dove into the water willingly, so she gave him a look

“i can’t help you if you do stuff like that!” “it was throw or be thrown!”

he was thrown anyway while taeil lifted her in a fireman’s hold, bringing her to johnny

[BE ORIGINAL] NCT DREAM(엔시티 드림) ‘ISTJ’ (Behind)

while monitoring their cuts, haechan’s backhugging her, patting her stomach and she starts squirming before breaking from his hold

he looks at her offended, then there’s a small pause before she pulls his shirt up, making him panic to hold it back down and hide his own stomach

he moves to do the same to until he realized she was in a bralette

“try. try. just you try, lee donghyuck” “don’t test me, lee haeeun”

and he just throws her over his shoulder, and she’s yelling and mark's just following them all “guys? guys? haechan, put her down”

PADO Dance Practice Behind VS Concert Performance

during a break, there’s just a clip of them trying to (for lack of better terms) out-babygirl each other while doing the chorus, and all the other members are just watching all amused

cut to them dancing the chorus after their shared pre-chorus facing each other, eyes intense just until the second “you got me so satisfied” where they turned to face opposite directions, but beside each other instead then fist bumping as the piano chords sound at the end of the chorus

2016 Chewing Gum Making Film

taeyong speaking to the camera: “it’s so interesting. our 127 maknae is over there acting like an oppa to our haeeun. it’s so interesting to see, i don’t think he’s like this even with his actual siblings.”

the camera pans to hannah and haechan, but the two are just seen eating, so the camera pans back to taeyong

taeyong: “you didn’t catch it? such a shame, it was really cute.”

2017 Doyoung Hosting the NCT Dream MFAL Comeback Show

“hey, lee haechan, why are you being like this? where’s the maturity you said you’d have because you’re a hyung in dream?” “hyung, are you haeeunie?” “no?” “exactly.”

*doyoung looks at the crowd with an accusatory look while the dreamies laugh*

“no, but it really is weird seeing haechan being an oppa to hannah. he’s like a different person.”

2018 Taeyong Vlive

“haeeunie is my daughter, everyone. now that she’s in 127, i’ll be taking care of her more. but i don’t think i can ever beat haechannie. haechannie is our maknae, but he’s like a real oppa with our haeeunie. he avoids doing it on camera, but he always takes care of her very well. it’s sweet, if you think about it.”

2019 Chenle and Jisung live

jisung: “hannah noona and haechan hyung? they’re with the 127 hyungs right now, working very hard.”

chenle: “right. i feel so thankful to them for working hard for both 127 and dream. i feel sorry whenever i see them go from one schedule to another, it’s like they aren’t resting.”

jisung: “but they’re taking care of themselves for sure! haechan hyung especially makes sure hannah noona always eats and sleeps well”

chenle (imitating haechan): “haeeun-ah, time for lunch” “haeeun-ah, let’s go to bed, you need energy, okay?” “is our haeeunie okay? is she hurt? is she tired?”

jisung: “woah, you sound exactly like him!”

2020 Kun live

���kun baba?” *chuckles* “i am. i’m huanuo’s kun baba… partly. don’t get me wrong, i love hannah and the fact that we’re working together again after two years, but i don’t see her all the time, you know? i can’t be her baba all the time because she’s always off on schedules.” *sighs* “i’m just glad she has haechan. You may not believe it from haechan’s very bright and energetic energy, but he becomes very mellow and caring when he’s with her. it’s like watching him turn into a dad.”

2021 Yangyang live

“do you ever get jealous of haechan and hannah? no, i don’t. maybe once, but that was for, like, two seconds. yeah haechan is actually very big brother to her, you know? you guys have never, like, hung out with just those two without staff or cameras, there’s a switch. i mean, hannah is still her, but just a little more kid-like. just a little. haechan becomes like an extra protective big brother. they really are like actual siblings. them and mark hyung, too!”

2022 Sungchan live

*sounds of the door opening, sungchan looks, bows his head, then looks back to the live*

“i thought it was hannah noona. she likes checking on me every now and then, but i forgot she’s still on tour. that was a staff just now. hannah noona… she’s like my second mom. she really takes care of me well, which is why it’s a little strange for me to see her with haechan hyung. He’s like hannah noona’s personal hannah noona. do you get it? did i say that right? it’s a little bit like if me, chenle, and and jisung have hannah noona, noona has haechan hyung.”

2023 Yuta on Weverse

hannah is ignoring me right now

not by choice

haechan has my kitsune wrapped in a blanket because she has a cold right now

i want to take care of her but haechan said it’s his job and she’s his responsibility

when did he get so grown up, our maknae?

[N’-153] We gon’ resonate 🔥 | NCT 2020💚MAMA 안무연습 비하인드🌟

around 7 minutes and 20 seconds into the video there’s a really quick moment where you can see them behind johnny dancing while the choreographer was discussing details

she was looking down, and he was just a little hunched over to be more at level with her while holding her face, looking like he was asking her something, and she shook her head, then he nodded, and that was all seen before the clip cut

Mark’s IG Story

hannah straight up just walked into a glass door because she was on her phone, then haechan cradles her forehead, lightly scolding her for not looking where she was going meanwhile mark’s just in laughs going “cute, why are the babies so cute”

[Un Cut] Take #3 | ‘Kick It’ Dance Practice

while taeyong’s talking about the famous dance moves in the choreography, you can see hannah and haechan’s reflection in the mirror where he had sat on the floor, making her sit next to him then urging her to drink water while they both marked the choreography in the mirror

in the very corner of the video when jaemin is answering the eighth question, they’re walking, and hannah trips. haechan quickly catches her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and helping her walk

DREAM SKETCH : Page #2 | THE DREAM TOUR BEHIND

at the very beginning of the video when jisung is vlogging with the mirror behind him, you can see the reflection of hannah and haechan on the couch where haechan is rubbing something onto her knee

“woah, can you see that? this is rare to see on camera, everyone. haechan hyung’s natural state when he’s with hannah noona. let’s not disturb them, he’s putting muscle reliever on noona’s knee because it’s been bothering her”

Dance Practice Behind | Ep.1 | 2023 NCT CONCERT - NCT NATION: To The World

when jisung, ten, and renjun are talking, you can hear haechan and hannah in the background

“haeeun-ah, have you taken your medicine?” “yes, and i’m fine” “just making sure. i didn’t see you eat breakfast today” “i’m good, oppa, i had a sandwich a while ago, and jungwoo oppa and i are gonna have a big lunch. it’s just a cold, stop worrying” “you know i can’t do that”

part 1: pado.

Tonight, you’re making a change.

Just a small change. It’s Friday night, and you’ve decided that you’re going out.

You never go out. A combination of newfound shyness – you didn’t used to be like this, you don’t think – and pure disinterest keeps you at home and around your neighborhood most weekends, away from the clubs and bars that light up other parts of town.

Around universities, in certain districts, there’s glittering nightlife. People come from all over just to play in the streets, get into packed bars, sip ridiculous drinks. To be seen, and to see. The street names are famous, the parties legendary.

It’s just not your scene.

Usually.

Tonight, you just want a little taste of it. And if it sucks, you can just go home.

That’s what you tell yourself, holding onto the vertical rail on the side of the metro car door. If it sucks, you can go home.

It’s dark outside, already firmly nighttime, people on the last legs of their commutes and college students heading to God-knows-where making up the rest of the train’s passengers. People with tired eyes and creased suits, hoodies and claw clips.

Them, and you, slightly self-conscious in your most bar-appropriate attire.

You’re not going out to pick someone up, or to be picked up, so it’s not an outfit meant to attract that kind of attention. Just something that won’t feel out of place.

The darkness outside lets you see your own reflection in the window glass, and you take yourself in, passively. You look good. You look good enough that it spikes your confidence, a bit. You’re still nervous, though, even if you’ve done this dozens of times in your life.

Get a drink, talk to some people, feel a little bit of novelty in your slow, easy, life that goes by much too quickly with not much in it.

It’s not that serious, really. You’ll be fine.

--

The train pulls into Itaewon Station, and you step out the doors onto the bustling platform.

Summer is coming slowly this year, you think, as you trudge up the stairs. It’s already warm out, but not humid yet. It’s honestly refreshing, after how cold this past winter was. Good call on your part, to come out and take advantage of the short springtime.

The difficult choice, you realize once you’re on street level, is picking a place to go.

You’re been to bars here before. Of course, you have. If you go to those places, you’ll probably run into acquaintances and friends of friends. The kind of people who are good to drink with, for one night, even if you’re not that close.

But you kind of want to be on your own, tonight. Even casual acquaintances bring social responsibility, and take away the thrill of anonymity, the making of a first impression.

Somewhere new it is, then.

Businesses change rapidly, here, anyway. Except for the few staple bars and clubs that outlive the rent hikes and ever-shifting demographics of patrons, places come and go every year. There’s no shortage of new venues to visit.

You wander down the main street, peering up the narrow alleys lined with chicken restaurants and hof bars.

One building that you pass looks completely redone, since last time you were here, all fresh paint and clean glass. You pause. The café on the ground floor is closed for the night, but there’s a side entrance that leads to the upper and basement floors.

At that entrance there’s a small blinking sign advertising a bar.

Might as well try a new place, you think.

The stairwell is white and scuffed and dingy as any in Itaewon, and you meander up to the second floor, where a single closed door awaits.

You open it.

The first thing that catches your eye is the name of the place, spelled out on the wall. The neon sign, much bigger than the LED one outside, reads “PADO” in blue script, with a little design of a curling wave over the top.

The space is larger than you expected, roomy, with rich dark velvet curtains lining the walls. You can’t tell if there are other rooms beyond them, or if they’re just decoration. The bar is gleaming white, the barstools are white vinyl. A big feature wall has beam projections of blue wave patterns on it, interesting swirls and lines.

It’s atmospherically dimly-lit, but by no means dark. There’s music, but it’s tastefully low.

There are plenty of people inside, but it’s not crowded. Small groups stand and linger, others sit at tables, their conversation audible over the pleasant music.

Venues that serve alcohol around here tend to be suspiciously loud, dark, and packed. Even the fun ones have that off-kilter vibe, manufactured or genuine, that something unsavory happens inside.

Not this bar. It’s clean, it’s open, it’s inviting.

You’re fascinated.

You like it in here.

“Welcome!” calls a man from behind the bar, as you approach to get yourself a drink.

There’s a menu taped to the bar, but you take a second to peruse the staff before you get down to the alcohol.

Usually you wouldn’t bother, but this staff is particularly interesting. There are three guys behind the bar, all in unique jackets, and they’re all…pretty. It’s commonplace for baristas and service workers to be good-looking to attract customers, but these guys are exceptional even by that standard.

The one who greeted you is also exceptionally tall, expertly filling up glasses with draft beer, an eye-catching figure in his white jacket and pink shirt.

There’s a shorter one in a purple jacket, all shaggy hair and bouncy energy, leaning all the way over the end of the bar to talk to a group of girls with a lot of suggestive eyebrow-raising.

And one other, medium height and medium build, leaning against the prep counter in the back, in a matching brown leather suit. His silvery hair is something like mullet-chic, and his attention is fully on his phone.

“Be right with you,” the white jacket guy says, when he catches sight of you. “Hey, can – oh. Where’s Dejun?”

The brown suit guy looks up from his phone. “Huh?”

White jacket rolls his eyes. “Dejun? To help customers?”

“Flirting, I think,” brown suit replies, pointing.

White jacket glances out at the bar floor, and rolls his eyes harder, apparently finding his missing staff member. “Well, you don’t fucking work here. But you’re behind my bar, so take an order, will you?”

This apparently singularly-capable staff member turns his attention back to the beers, and you just wait there, feeling exceptionally awkward.

Brown suit guy, for his part, looks at you as if he’s just noticed you. He has wide, surprised eyes, childish eyes. It’s endearing, kind of, the way he looks so flustered. His first impression gave off very cold and aloof vibes, but obviously, that’s not him.

He stuffs his phone into his pants pocket, and takes a step up to the bar.

“I don’t work here,” he says, echoes, “But…um. I can still help you. What can I get you?”

You tell him your usual drink order – something simple, luckily, because you suspect that if it was at all complicated, you would not be getting a drink for a while.

But the non-employee just nods at your order, and goes for the row of liquor bottles.

“I’m Taeyong,” he tells you. “I’ve never seen you here before.”

You answer with your own name. “And you’re right. I’m just checking it out.”

“Welcome, then,” he says, with a soft smile.

Taeyong slides your drink onto the bar, and watches expectantly as you take the glass and raise it to your lips to taste.

And when you nod your satisfaction, he asks, “Paying now, or opening a tab?”

You consider it. Paying now is easier, and you’re less likely to overdo it, but a tab means you don’t have to worry about money until the very end….

“Tab,” you decide.

Taeyong nods at your answer, that gentle smile taking on an edge that you can’t quite parse.

“Means you’re gonna stick around,” he says slyly.

You look over the rim of your glass at him, at that one. That sounded an awful lot like flirting. But a guy who looks like that…flirting with you…

“Do you want a table?” he asks you. “I can find one.”

“You don’t work here,” you point out, going for cheeky and hoping that your fluster isn’t showing on your face. “And you have to open my tab.”

“I’ll get Johnny to do that later,” he dismisses. “C’mon.”

He doesn’t open the swinging hinge at the corner of the bar top and let himself through the little door meant for exactly that. Rather, he jumps up and slides right over the top, and lands neatly beside you. Then, he takes off onto the bar floor.

More people have come in behind you, and there are only a few high-top tables left. The music is a little louder, to keep up with the rising conversational buzz.

Taeyong leads you to a vacant table with a Reserved placard on it, and flicks the little sign over. “As promised, a table. Reserved.”

“Not reserved for me. And you don’t work here.”

“Johnny put me work, you saw,” Taeyong says brightly. “Your table now.”

His good nature is infectious. You grin. “Can’t argue with that.”

“Have fun,” he tells you. “I’ll see you around.”

And with that, Taeyong leaves you. You can only watch him go, completely bowled over by what just happened. You watch him pause at another table on his way back to the bar to hook his arm around a short guy in a bright yellow leather jacket and drag him away, too. You assume that’s the missing Dejun, being forced to return to work.

You sip at your drink, and you watch Taeyong.

You can’t tell if he knows you’re watching him. You don’t think he does, seeing how he’s just back on his phone, hiding behind the bar. But you are.

Some bartenders flirt a lot, for their jobs. It keeps patrons feeling special, and as they get drunker, it keeps them spending more money. It brings people back, too, back to the bars with the nice, flirty bartenders.

But Taeyong isn’t a bartender here. If he was flirting – and you cannot confirm nor deny that he was – it probably wasn’t for the good of the business. He’s not talking to anyone else, that’s for sure. You can see the other workers buzzing around, chatting up the bargoers, making drinks. Taeyong has, as far as you know, only spoken to the bartenders themselves. And to you.

And yet, he stays over there, behind the bar.

The same shyness that keeps you home every night says that it’s just as well, that he was being polite and nothing more.

The hunger that brought you out tonight is keeping its unabashed focus on Taeyong, all the way over there.

After a while, the white jacket guy comes up to your table and introduces himself as Johnny, and takes your card to open that tab for you.

A while after that, you find out why the table you’ve taken was reserved.

“Excuse me?” comes a man’s voice.

You startle, still gazing across the bar at Taeyong, as he laughs with yellow-jacketed Dejun, and turn to see two guys.

They’re tall and handsome, strong-featured, one in a teal blazer over a teal shirt, and the other in tailored bootcut jeans and a red leather jacket. Just as good-looking as Johnny or Taeyong, just as peculiarly, otherworldly put-together. You wonder, fleetingly, wildly, if this place has some kind of secret dress code.

“I’m pretty sure this is our table,” says the guy in red. “Sorry, yo.”

“Sorry,” you apologize right back, “That one – I mean, Taeyong said I could sit here, let me-”

“Taeyong?” interrupts the guy in teal. “If Taeyong put you here, it’s chill.”

But the last thing you want is to be in the way, so you insist, “No, it’s your table, I can-”

“We can share,” the teal guy says. “It’s just us two, anyway. And Taeyongie-hyung.”

Before you can ask, the teal guy strides away toward the bar. Red jacket sits right down in the seat across from you, seemingly unbothered by his unexpected new tablemate.

You came out tonight for some variety, something different. This is not what you had in mind.

“I’m Mark,” he tells you.

You introduce yourself, too.

“How d’you know hyung?” he asks.

“I…don’t,” you say, nonplussed.

Mark leans over sideways and looks at you, quickly, from top to bottom. “Huh. Okay.”

His pointed gaze feels appraising, somehow, rather than objectifying. Nonthreatening, for certain. But you still catch the insinuation of it.

Apparently, you look like someone whom Taeyong would know.

“Nice to meet you, anyway,” Mark says.

When the teal guy returns, Taeyong is with him.

“I didn’t know if you’d be gone before Markie and Jaehyunie turned up,” Taeyong says to you, by way of greeting.

“I told her she could stay,” says teal guy, now Jaehyun.

“S’all good,” Mark agrees.

Taeyong points at him. “Don’t let Haechan see that you’re here. He’s already going nuts.”

Mark groans, and Jaehyun laughs, and you just sit there.

What have you walked into?

“Can we get you another drink?” Jaehyun asks you.

You eye him, rueful. “I really don’t wanna run up my tab.”

Taeyong waves his hand, as if dismissing your worries in the physical. “You’re not paying tonight.”

“Johnny opened my tab,” you say.

“Johnny was told to put your tab on our tab,” Taeyong corrects.

What?

Why?

“You don’t have to do that, I can pay,” you say, aghast.

Taeyong shrugs. “You can pay if you want to. But we’re more than happy to treat you.”

Mark nods, much too enthusiastic. “We take our friends out all the time, man, it’s chill.”

“Friends, being the operative part,” you say, but you can feel the smile tugging at your lips despite yourself. “I don’t know you.”

“You do, now,” Jaehyun points out.

You should be much more worried, you think, about being here at this table, somewhat a captive audience, with several men whom you do not know.

They’ve been nothing but nice, but they’re still strange men.

Even so, you’re…comfortable.

Contingencies run through your head, all your options should this night go south. You’re not stupid. You know how to plan ahead.

But this is what you wanted, isn’t it? Something different? Something new? You promise yourself that you would go home if it sucked out here. This is weird, but it objectively doesn’t suck. For now, you’re determined to enjoy.

“Okay,” you cede.

Taeyong’s gentle smile is back. “What’ll you have?”

Your next drink comes several minutes later, delivered by a very exasperated Johnny (you honestly wonder if he’s capable of any other emotions).

In that time, you find out that Taeyong, Jaehyun, and Mark are school friends of nearly a decade who are in business together. You’ve found that men who say that usually mean ‘we’re unemployed’ rather than ‘we own a business,’ but it’s not your place to call them out. Not tonight, anyway.

You find out that Mark apparently cannot hold his liquor, and as much as he protests, neither can Taeyong.

You find out that Mark is Canadian, and Jaehyun spent some time in the States. They switch to perfect English in the wake of this discovery, much to your amusement.

You find out that they’re regulars here.

“Usually we’re not even drinking,” Jaehyun tells you, sidelong. “It’s just a good place to chill.”

“At night,” Taeyong clarifies.

“At night,” you repeat.

“We have other spots during the day,” Taeyong says.

It’s a leading question. It’s bait.

You see it, clear as day. Taeyong is setting you up to ask, giving you a chance. An in. A reason to come back, an invitation to see them…him…again. You can’t believe it.

It’s bait. You gather up all your courage, squash down your self-doubt, and you take it.

“Like where?”

--

You left Pado with a bottle of water (forced into your sober hands by Dejun the bartender, just in case), three phone numbers (Taeyong’s, Mark’s, and inexplicably, purple-jacket bartender Donghyuck’s), and the Instagram handle of the café on the ground floor of that same building.

Saturday passes without incident. You sleep in, you laze around at home. Do some chores, doomscroll. The usual.

But on Sunday, you wake up much too early. You have plans, if you’re brave enough to go through with them.

Sunday brunch, you’d been told, is always at Kangaroo.

And you’re invited.

You don’t live close enough to Itaewon to justify going there twice in one weekend under any other circumstances.

You’re honestly not sure that you want to go under these particular and unusual circumstances, you think, standing in your kitchen and trying to gather up the motivation to get ready.

But then your phone lights up. A text message.

Lee Taeyong 🐸: hey! kangaroo café today around 12 like i said! if u wanna come to brunch w us :) Lee Taeyong 🐸: we gave you the address right?

You’d forgotten that he saved his contact in your phone with that emoji. The swooping sensation in your stomach, unbidden butterflies, embarrasses you even in the privacy of your own home.

Well. You wanted to make a change, right?

And if you dig through your closet for something green, frog emoji in the corner of your mind, that’s no one’s business but yours.

I wanna Stan NCT but don't know where to start and I see you're neo so plssssssss helppp beginners guide in stanning NCT. (I know some songs and members but that's it)

(can I be 👽 or 🫀 anon)

welcome to nct for dummies !!!

heres a basic overview of nct:

nct- neo culture technology

the overall concept is that they're limitless, which basically means they just do whatever they want and we all say thank you !!!

nct currently has 25 members across 5 units (excluding nct u)

nct u- neo culture technology united

think of this as "nct units", where each song released under nct u consists of a different set of members

nct's debut song (the 7th sense) was released under nct u

some of the songs under nct u are just normal unit songs from permanent units. for example, touch from empathy is a nct 127 song and nectar from resonance pt.1 is a wayv song

if you go and watch nct u music video's from 2020 and 2021, you might be like "woah is that shotaro and sungchan from riize?"

yes it is! while they were never put in a permanent unit, shotaro and sungchan were active nct members until 2023 when they were taken out and put into riize (SM moment😒)

quintessential nct u album- empathy (but also all of them, they're all essential)

via's fav nct u album- golden age

quintessential nct u songs- the 7th sense, make a wish, 90's love, go, touch, nectar, boss, baggy jeans, beautiful, golden age, baby don't stop, universe, faded in my last song, round&round, ok!, pado, resonance

via's fav nct u song- interlude: oasis

nct 127

members (from left to right)-

top- haechan, taeyong (leader), doyoung, jungwoo, mark

bottom- johnny, yuta, jaehyun

taeyong, yuta, jaehyun, winwin, mark, and haechan all debuted in 127 with firetruck (2016)

winiwn was never officially taken out of 127 so some people still consider him a member, but he hasn't participated since simon says era (2018)

johnny and doyoung joined 127 with the song limitless (2017)

jungwoo joined with regular (2018)

im purposely leaving out facts about taeil, who was kicked out of the group in 2024. you can educate yourself on that, im not gonna include him in this little history lesson cuz he doesn't deserve my key strokes.

currently, taeyong and jaehyun are serving in the military, and doing is expected to go sometime in 2025 (sigh)

quintessential 127 albums- limitless, cherry bomb, neo zone, sticker

via's fav album- walk

quintessential 127 songs- cherry bomb, kick it, sticker, limitless, baby don't like it, whiplash, lemonade, superhuman, 2 baddies, favorite, back 2 u, highway to heaven

via's fav 127 song- fool

nct dream

members (from left to right)- haechan, renjun, jaemin, chenle, jisung, jeno, mark (leader)

wayv

wayv was organically going to be "nct vision" but there were a bunch of things between Korea and China, so they went with wayv.

wayv has no korean members and is essentially nct's global unit

their songs are in chinese, korean, and english (and japanese for their Japanese album)

they debuted in 2019 with regular (chinese version)

former member lucas left the group because of a scandal i wont get into (its very split in ncity whether he deserves to still be in nct. im not gonna give an opinion, look into it if you wish)

winwin, who stopped participating in 127 activities to be in wayv, is currently focusing on acting and hasn't been in a comeback since on my youth in 2023 (winwin i miss u bby)

quintessential wayv albums- take off, take over the moon, phantom, on my youth

via's fav- the highest (CONTROVERSIAL OPINION IK!!! i cant help it, i was a jpop fan before i was into kpop. its in my blood)

quintessential wayv songs- love talk, moonwalk, phantom, kick back, action figure, low low, bad alive, on my youth, popping love, turn back time, back to you, give me that

Taeyong & Ten's duet song 'Call D' in NCT's 4th album is an attractive hyperpop song with minor vibe synthesizer and instrument sound that creates the atmosphere as if they're talking on the phone with the other person, the lyrics tells about instinctively led by a doppelganger the lyrics tells about instinctively led/driven by a doppelganger who resembles him even though he knows it is a dangerous situation.

Moreover, 'PADO' express the intense feelings you feel for your loved one in a cheerful way by comparing it to waves, the jazzy piano strings and Johnny, Taeyong, Jaehyun, Mark, Xiaojun, Hendery and Haechan's energetic rap and sweet vocal blends and captivates the ears.

That's Not Fair' where Johnny, Taeyong, Ten, Mark, Jeno and Yangyang participated is a hiphop genre song that uses the sampling of Bach's Fugue in G minor, BWV 578, Lo-Fi piano sound is added to the message that no one believes and lives in reality, creating a dark and dystopian atmosphere.

Call D - apenas a existência da voz de Lee Taeyong e Lee Ten 🙏🙏🙏 quero call D imediatamente!!

PADO - EU DARIA MINHA VIDA POR XIAOJUN E LEE DONGHYUCK NO REFRÃO DESSA MÚSICA. de longe uma das minhas fav.

Interlude: Oasis - essa daqui é tão refrescante(?) a parte do jaemin hmmmm

THE BAT - minha favorita, uma das melhores units já feitas nessa neocity. o yuta e jeno colocando o pau na mesaaaa demais. MA BAT APEX

Alley Oop - jaemin jaemin jaemin jaemin jaemin

Star’s 2023 Top K-Pop Songs 

*only one song per artist

**I forgot half the songs I listened to this year 

27. The Rizzness – Taemin 

This song had potential for top 5, were it not for that fuck ass title/the lyrics. The instrumental track is just too good, I loooooove it so much. 

26. In Bloom – ZEROBASE ONE

I think this says more about me thank anything else but i just love a pumpy song, it was fun, good track, what else is there to say 

25. Still You – Seungkwan 

This is me cheating and throwing in an OST but it is far too good and I don’t ever hear anyone talk about it. This song kept me together for half the summer. Go listen right now and tell me im wrong for adding it. 

24. UNFORGIVEN – LE SSERAFIM

This is partially because of the MV, i simply love cowboy concepts. Just iconic. dont come for me if their new releases are “better” bc this is my list and also i haven’t listened yet. I am behind. 

23. SHALALA – TAEYONG

ICONIC. MV, song, all of it SCREAMEDDDDD ty and i love him for that. I really admire artists that are truly dedicated to their craft and taeyong is just one of those dudes.  

22. Say You Love Me – Kai 

I couldn’t not put him. I can’t believe there’s a whole year left until he comes back. It’s genuinely insane. anyway rover deserves to be on here too but i wanted to be special (also ur lying if you think this isnt the best song on that album. the only alternative is sinner) 

21. Air Force One – ODD EYE CIRCLE 

Right when I started wanting to listen to LOONA, everything happened and, well, at least they’re safe. This song is such a bop idk 

20. Will I Ever See You Again? – Red Velvet 

I think this is mostly just my personal taste but it’s sooooo good, an easy listen but consistently good???? 

19. LEFT RIGHT – XG 

2000s concept SLAYED, idk it’s just such a good song? like i’m not picky in my music taste but this is very much my style 

18. Get Loose – THE7

yes i got it from tiktok but a good song is a good song and this is a good song. I actually just like fun songs 

17. LONE RANGER – MONSTA X 

Remember when i said i love cowboy concepts? yeah. I also was working on a horse farm when this came out so like. it just fit  

16. Fire Eyes – The BOYZ 

Remember what i said about fun songs? i don’t even know how i found it bc i dont listen to the boyz religiously but i LOVE this song 

15. Memories – RIIZE 

They’re actually iconic for having siren and memories as pre-releases and showcasing their dance/singing abilities. K-pop is very much about singing for me and boys can sing, so memories made the cut. Honestly all their songs have been on repeat for me though, i just love the final chorus of this song ugh 

14. PADO – NCT U 

This is another cheat but i couldn’t not put it on. like haechan????? xiaojun???? yeah.. you got me confused…… you got me soooo satisfied 

13. Cool With You – NewJeans

Ditto remains my top newjeans song but cool with you… like i said with left right, it’s just very my style and idk i really enjoyed it. The whole album was soooo good JUST TOO SHORT 

12. Bubble – STAYC 

SLAYC IS BACK LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!!! I LOVE bubblegum pop so this was right up my alley. It’s just so funny and i love the girlies so much im so mad i couldn’t see them on tour 

11. Space – NCT 127 

WE’RE IN THE TOP TEN NOW LETS GOOOOO!!! Every time this song comes on i ascend to a higher plane of existence like that one spongebob meme. Let it breathe. Let it chill. Yeah we doin’ too much too much. specifically jaehyun on that part……. Oouugghhhhhhhh (whatever instrument/fake instrument that’s doing that one part…. Idk how to describe but ooughhhhhh) 

10. BOUNCY (K-HOT CHILLI PEPPERS) – ATEEZ 

When i tell you this was on REPEAT while i was in japan… i was making it bouncy all through the streets. played it for my mom and she said “this is a weird song” 

9. Fighting – BSS

That one tweet that’s like BSS’s music is like “dont kill yourself were booseoksoon.” yeah. It’s half that and half their performance and incredible ability to always make me laugh 

8. Poison – NCT DREAM

my world STOPPED when that track video dropped like…… have i mentioned haechan bc wow. he saw the baekhyun poster outside the recording studio and swore he wouldn’t let him down and he did just that. i love me some good whore music and that is whore music baby 

7. Spicy – aespa 

Perfect balance between bubblegum pop and noise music. the girlies came to serve and they did just that. 

6. JUMP – P1Harmony 

Not to be that person but they are seriously soooooo underrated. Justice for my boys because this song is just so good. I NEED to see it in person 

5. Queencared – (G)-IDLE 

SO hard to choose between this and I DO (and allergy) but ugh. the bubblegum pop won in the end. I love this song so so much, had the time of my LIFE singing along to it. Yuqi come home <3 

4. Poppin’ Love – WayV 

Idc if you don’t think they’re kpop, they’re going on my list. This song just has it all

3. I Don’t Understand But I Luv U – SEVENTEEN 

Remember what i said about whore music? also i genuinely don’t know why anyone was surprised when they looked at the lyrics for the first time like just listen to the song and it’s obvious what they were singing about idk. thank you woozi, thank you jun, thank you hoshi, thank you minghao, and thank you dino. if i dont see this song in concert……… lord knows what will happen to me 

2. Let Me In – EXO 

this was my number one song of the year i think. It came out right before i went to japan so all those positive memories are associated with this song, but also like.. she’s just that bitch. My first release with DO, Chen, and Baekhyun on one track together and let me tell you.. This song is just too good. Vocals will always win me over and the entire bridge-last chorus (actually the whole song).. just so good. 

1. Can We Go Back – NCT DJJ 

Whore music. Vocals. What else do you need???? When i tell you this song has brought me out of a Mood several times,,, idk what it is i just love this song so much. i put it on to write this and like. there’s just nothing bad about this song, its too good. the instrumental, the vocals, they knew EXACTLY what they were doing. PLEASEEEEE keep letting jaehyun sing it’s such a crime to hide his voice 

Runner Ups: 

I DO – (G)-IDLE, Allergy – (G)-IDLE, Super – SEVENTEEN, Perfume – NCT DJJ, SHOOTING STAR – XG, Sinner – Kai, Rover – Kai, Ay-Yo – NCT 127, Lip Gloss – THE BOYZ, God of Music – SEVENTEEN, RODEO – WayV, Get a Guitar – RIIZE, Talk Saxy – RIIZE, Welcome to MY World – aespa, Drama – aespa, Guilty – TAEMIN, She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not – TAEMIN, NewJeans 2nd EP ‘Get Up’
