Okay so my main point it is it just me... or this years kpop just isn't giving? idk I feel like a lot of releases this year have been very lackluster, other than a few releases which I myself really enjoyed and would recommend to others, a lot of it just bores me.Β 

For example (this is not a jab at the group) AESPA... don't get me started on dirty work, it's not bad but idk compared to other releases it feels so unmemorable and I'm not the biggest fan of rich man or the final released version at least because the demo ver had this punk vibe and ngl I thought it was much better than the final version which was just watered down and smoothed over, it really just lacks character imo. Again this isn't a jab at aespa themselves (because I love the girls srsly I've loved sm of their releases).


anyway other than that, what have been your fav releases this year? (I'd really like some recs ^ ^)

Honestly, I get where ur coming from:,-)
I'll admit aespa's new releases this yr were kinda underwhelming. The songs just didn't live up to their other songs like "supernova" or "drama" but yh, other then them I genuinely can barely name any actual bops released this year/
Theres a few songs my favs have released which I love but I feel like my opinion towards those songs r quite biased lmao-

Butttt, I really liked "attention please" by illit which is kinda weird cause I usually barely listen to 5th gen groups but they def didn't disappoint!! πŸ’•
