    lowkey sad that red velvet didn't do a red summer concept this year. i love monster but summer without a red velvet red bop isn't summer, it's mer

      I also would trade everything to get a summer song from red velvet but I think that red velvet are growns ups now and summer concepts won't suit them as much anymore, and that they will focus more on velvet concepts now. Like can you imagine almost 30 yo irene jumping and running in a beach and singing about youth. But yea red velvet can rock any concept so we're good 👌🏻

      @@entyope I don't really think we should look at Irene only for her age but for her versatility and her personality, she would totally rock a cute summer song (as she has proven in all the other songs) and she always does them with a lot of classy vibes, also all the girls of Red Velvet are cuties and very much chaotic crackheads so they all 100% are able to perfectly capture Red AND Velvet Concepts

      Louise Edvold thats honestly conforting to hear. Personally this year wasnt powerful, but maybe its because i became somewhat “jaded” with what i expect from kpop. Back when i discovered kpop in 2018 everything released was a bop and a half, now I hear every comeback even of my ults and its just... lacking for me. None of the cbs of the groups I stan or the ones I just chance upon are never “hitting it” the way 2018 songs did (we had WIL, Love Scenario, Love Shot, other iconic bops - and thats from the big kpop acts alone!) Though id argue what salvaged 2020 for me were the solo acts, with baek zico sunmi hwasa and even wonho delivering.

    Army here, completely agree about Dynamite! I think it was a great song and I was so glad that the guys took the risk and used it as an opportunity to try something very different from their usual stuff. While I think it's ok to love and hype the song, as a listener and as a fan I also completely accept that this was a song that was an unplanned gift from the guys. It really earned its popularity and unexpected success, but even the guys themselves keep repeating that some of their new album songs will be better than dynamite. I think that they themselves know and hint that it's not a musical masterpiece by any standards and it wasn't presented or marketed as such. It did its original job - bring a spring into your step when it came on, make you smile at the visuals of the MV (especially B side) and stuck in your mind so even through a long day you could hum the earwormy "dynananananananah eh dynananananah eeeh"

    Nature - Girls is definitely in my top 10 for the year so far, I'm a bit obsessed with it. No idea exactly why, just love it.
    Naughty - Red Velvet is probably somewhere on that list as well. That and Feel Good are amazing, so much attitude and style.
    Taemin's Criminal is definitely my current top for the year. I love that song with every fiber of my being. I can't wait to hear your Aug/Sept reviews! I've been really enjoying Wonho - Open Mind and Treasure - Boy as well, which normally aren't my type of music but are definitely earworms.

    Some of the songs I actually haven't heard about, some I didn't really care about, however the way you talk about them makes me a little sad I don't enjoy them.
    Also the fact that you got BTS, TXT and Gfriend on your list makes me very happy.
    I personally have no idea when the different songs got released, but I would like to say Nonstop by Oh my girl and Dumdi Dumdi by (G)I-dle is some of my favorite releases that really gives me the summer vibe!

    Your analysis of Daechwita is mind blowing... I do not understand one word (but it's on me). I will listen to your analogy of it couple of times to get what you mean.
    But damb your analogy is fantastic, the way you explain things is fantastic.

    You are an absolutely incredible writer and speaker. I have watched every single video on your channel and am hooked on your every word. Don't ever worry about taking "too long" with a video, because I'm waiting with baited breath no matter how long it takes. You bring an intelligence and wisdom that is sorely needed to the kpop fandom, and the gravitas and knowledge for those who write the genre off without thought. You're doing great, and I cannot thank you enough
