That was pretty intense, huh?

There's been a huge lapse in my listening to k-pop. I was pretty big on Baby Vox in my early teens back in the late 90s/early 2000s and haven't listened to any k-pop since. I recently discovered G-Idle after really liking a couple tracks from K/DA that features two members from the group. I'm kinda obsessed with G-Idle now. I was told I'd like Blackpink too since I'm digging G-Idle. Any other recommendations?

[edit] For reference, I'm really vibing to this track on repeat atm:

Dumdi Dumdi is also catchy as hell.

G-Idle has new stuff coming in January. No word on if it's an album/mini/single yet though.

Saw that on their twitter! Excited. The translated tweet said "new song after 5 months" so I guess maybe it's a single. As an aside, I just watched a video of Miyeon doing this masked signer variety show thing and she sounds so different compared to her parts in every G-Idle track. Hope they showcase more of her vocal range in the new stuff. And Yuqi too, I love her voice :allears:

She has one of the best voices in Kpop no doubt. She can support her voice across the full range, which is not easy or common in pop music as a whole. Her cover of Shallow is really great (though I wish we had a full acoustic version like the beginning of the video).

I tried giving Blackpink a go today finally, but just couldn't get into them. Not sure why lol. I listened to Egotistic by Mamamoo and liked it; haven't searched out anything else yet by them but dropped Egotistic in my kpop vibes playlist :)

Happy for G-Idle! They deserve all the recognition/success :allears:

I finally had some time to sit down and give I Burn a listen through just now—every track slaps and I love them all, though there's something about Dhalia that just hits real good. This EP is fairly unique compared to most pop-genre stuff I've ever listened to tbh. Easily my favorite stuff from them so far.

While Shuhua might not have any full lines in the single, she spends the entire MV serving up the best looks lmao. She gets to end the MV with the coolest visual too, imo :haw:

Bottom Liner posted:

Soyeon’s rap on Lost is also killer.

I shared this exact same sentiment. I was like, "fuuuuck, this owns" when Soyeon started rapping on Lost. Haha.

[edit]

Also just want to shout out the choreography for Hwaa. There's a bit during the chorus that looks inspired by the "wavy hand" move from the chorus of 'More' by K/DA :3:

I love the theatrics, lmao. I think that aspect of k-pop is part of what drew me back to the genre after becoming bored with everything I've listened to over the years. I spent a weekend last month just watching all the live performances from Queendom and Road to Kingdom—almost every performance from those shows was more like a theater/musical production than a concert and I loved every one of them lol. I'm absolutely biased, but my favorites were G-Idle's Queendom performances of Lion and Put It Straight. Their cover of Fire was great too :kimchi:

Yeah, after looking up the scores for the competition, I saw that G-Idle's cover of Fire ranked lowest during that round, lol RIP. It's deffo the weakest of their Queendom performances, but I enjoyed how energetic it felt—and the little hair flip Yuqi did :3:

It's just such a hard song to cover-- one of the most, if not still THE most, iconic debut tracks of all time. And to try and compete with the energy that even a brand new 2NE1 had at the time? Whew lad. I would have loved to see them take a stab at one of 2NE1's slower tracks instead, tbh.

Yeah, my perspective of G-Idle covering Fire comes from someone who has zero nostalgia towards 2NE1, having never listened to any of their music (as my interest in the k-pop genre around the time was nonexistent), so I don't carry that baggage with me. But after informing myself with context, I also understand how the cover could never live up to the original. I do appreciate how ambitious G-Idle were to try it at least! Haha.

I really don't understand the audience for all these hyper aggressive boy groups because I don't imagine a ton of young girls are really into Spartans or Arthurian legends and the music is always so bland compared to other groups, but I do enjoy just how loving extra they are, especially with live stages like this

A few of the music shows get streamed simultaneously on YouTube. SBS MTV The Show does, Music Bank I'm p sure does. And the ones that don't are hella easily found streamed elsewhere, there's a channel on twitch I use to watch all the others tbh.

Sweet! Was Queendom streamed/simulcasted when that was going on? Or did you have to wait for VODs on YouTube after? I was randomly recommended that Simply K-Pop livestream on my YT last night—guess the algorithm picked up that I was watching a bunch of live k-pop performances and was like HERE ENJOY THIS lmao.

Where the hell was she in the first place that had a full on mannequin of a nazi? I'm hoping a museum of sorts. But even still.

Oof that’s bad. Not that it makes it any better but I had to click the full size pic to even realize that was a Nazi uniform, so I would hope she didn’t know either. If she did, then big yikes.

You'd think that big rear end nazi eagle crest with the swastika on the hat would be a dead giveaway up close, lol.

From Asianjunkie:

As far as the circumstances that led to those almost surreal photos, it was reportedly a set they filmed a VCR for GFRIEND’s Walpurgis Night album comeback show, though the exact location is unknown.

Seems like it was verified in another tagged instagram post that someone tweeted, that had yet another Korean lady gazing into the nazi mannequin's eyes:

Idle’s Universe collab song. It’s not bad but it’s definitely the most generic thing you’ll hear from Idle. You can really tell it was just a song written for any group for a collab. The video looks great but they only put up like half of it on YouTube.

Watched it this morning. Was pretty bored by it, despite how good the visuals looked in the teasers. Big meh. But yeah, deffo goes to show how much impact Soyeon has as per what Schpyder said.
