No idea what "Sukhumvit Swimming" means, but I really like this song.

I caught this on one of the music shows this week and it was pretty catchy. I also have no idea what Sukhumvit Swimming means. There was another boy group adjacent thing I really liked too but I can't remember the dude's name, I think it was his solo debut or a solo comeback but he's a member of some group I definitely do not know the name of. I'll go back and look at the schedule later mb to jog my memory.

While I'm at it, never heard of this group before but I really dug this BG jam from last month:

Also SuperM dropped their first pre-release for the upcoming album this past week, and further proved Taemin can pull off literally anything a stylist throws at him:

SF9 rules, they're a group I always realize that I'm underappreciating when listening to their stuff, definitely dig out their earlier stuff.

There's two male soloists that put out new albums out recently that I've been enjoying, maybe you're thinking of one of them.

Continuing the trend for me of really enjoying the solo parts in SuperM songs and wishing the chorus would be over already.

I've never listened to Monsta X, so I have no idea what Wonho's vibe was when he was still with them. But I really dig this, I'll def check out the rest of the mini.

Digging the singles this sensitive beefcake has put out, can't wait to listen to the whole thing.

I love Monsta X, though it's pretty funny how their English album sold me a much softer group than they actually are. Compare:

Really like Lovesick Girls, could see it growing to be my favorite BP song. A bit milder on the rest of the new songs.

Though I feel there has to be a law somewhere against calling a sub 30 minute record an album.

I think it was the first non-BTS/TXT K-pop album that I really listened to, so I'll always remember it fondly.

I'm kinda glad I don't really care about anything that k-pop albums usually include, otherwise I'd be broke in a heartbeat.

Speaking of Taemin, his newest album is really good, but I'm blown away by how much I love the SuperM album. The singles really grew on me, "One" is a banger and every b-side is mad catchy.

Gfriend's new track seems to be Retro Disco, I kinda like it, not sure why they randomly say Hakuna Matata in the chorus though

This is already like the third or fourth k-pop song I've heard that references Hakuna Matata. No idea what's going on between South Korea and the Lion King. Good song, though.

Adding another male soloist to my list today, this time it's Ha Sung Woon.

Looking forward to this collaboration.


The new BTS is exactly what I need right now.

The album's half laid-back, calmer songs, half retro and throwbacks to their earlier sound. Still digesting it but really happy with it.

After a week of listening, I think BE is BTS's best mini album. Love every single song. The bridge of Dis-ease makes me giddy every time.

Suddenly I'm really looking forward to this Kai solo ep. I wasn't expecting much because he's the main dancer and not much of a singer, but it sounds like the songs were written for his vocal register which is good and the production quality of those video snippets is insane.

I was just about to post about this. Has to be the most effort put into an album preview I've seen. Sounds good too.

NCT put out that repackage this week, which is a good reason to post this song from last month. Maybe my favorite vocal performance of the year? The chorus and the bridge are incredible, I can't help but try to sing along... poorly, and knowing all of like three words of Korean.

Yeah, none of those groups have really had this concept before (as far as I know), it was just a themed stage to announce the show and that they would be three of the groups in it lmao

Uhhh I'll have you know Ateez's first five albums are about pirates on a treasure-hunting adventure. :colbert: Not that they really leaned into that visually like in that performance, they just have a lot of songs about treasure and pirate kings, for some reason.

I'm ambivalent about The Boyz but I love Stray Kids and Ateez to death, so I guess the audience for them is thirty year old gay men?

(it's good i like it)

I also like Stray Kids but was really spun out when i learnt two of them are Australian, really jarring to see them talking in Korean and then switch to the same loud Aussie i hear on the bus every day.

Before finding out about Stray Kids, this was truly the last thing I expected a k-pop idol to sound like.

Does anyone else watch those "a helpful guide to..." videos on youtube? I should probably feel ashamed about this but it's usually the first thing I check if I want to learn basic facts about a group.

In the absence of something more professional, I've found those to be an alright way to get to know the members. Also, to put names to faces I also sometimes watch music videos and those Eng/Rom/Han lyric videos side-by-side.
