Babymonster’s debut was lackluster as expected 

so disappointed wish YG would get their head out of their a$$ and not make every single gg a hip hop concept 

It's like 2NE1 was the concentrated essence of a YG girl group, and then BLACKPINK was that but diluted once, and then Babymonster is BP but diluted even further. At least they changed up the amount of members this time, which makes for a different dynamic, but yeah, it's def lackluster. Boombayah and Whistle were both had a thunderous, record-breaking reception, while batter up...

...crickets.

And something about the overall production value feels a bit cheap for YG standards, both musically and visually. In the MV's case I think it's the camerawork and the way it's overtly lit.

Literal cut and paste the company is seriously lacking in creativity.

Spotify Wrapped is out! Any kpop on yours?

KPop was my most listened to genre, unsurprisingly. Actually I think "kpop girl groups" was #1 and then "kpop" was 2 or 3 :toofunny:

Chanmina, Wednesday Campanella, and Youha were my #2, #3, and #5 top artists, respectively.

My top song was Bvndit's "Don't Mess With Me." I was surprised I only listened to it 52 times, I thought I listened to it every day. Youha's "Abittipsy" was #5, I think that song has been in my top 5 since it came out in 2021.

Weirdly it said I was in the top 1% of Ava Max listeners. I don't remember listening to her that much, meanwhile I was probably top 0.0001% of some kpop artists' listeners.

I'm not on Spotify but according to my lastfm NewJeans was by far my most listened artist this year, and SHINee (#6) + ODD EYE CIRCLE (#8) were both on my Top 10. My Top 3 most listened songs were all NewJeans too :rip: (Super Shy, Ditto and OMG, in that order)

i flopped hard this year tbh. my first kpop song this year was #22. i think i had about 9 songs in my top 100, most them nugu group songs but i also had new jeans ditto on there. :giveup: i listened too much rap this year tho.

Kinda a flop year in terms of kpop for me as well... No k-pop artists in my top 5 most listened to artists for the first time since I got into k-pop...

In terms of songs, the highest positions are: 

#5 XG - Shooting star (does this even count?)

#9 Kai - Rover

#11 NCT 127 - Skyscraper (their besides always outstream their singles for me)

#26 GOT the beat - Stamp on It

#32 IVE - I AM

#61 NewJeans - Zero (not their Coca Cola ad outstreaming their singles..)

And then some others... I wonder if I'm just losing interest in kpop altogether or if the releases just weren't my thing this year...

the last part u said i agree. like compared to last year releases lotta the groups were not as good imo like look at this: 

Group 2022 VS 2023

NJ hype boy/attention/ditto vs super shy

Le sserafim antifragile vs unforgiven 

StayC RUN2U vs teddy bear 

IVE love dive/after like vs i am/baddie/off the record/etc

NMIXX OO vs party oclock (idk the name)

TWICE pop/talk that talk vs jihyo solo/set me free

RV feel my rhythm vs chill kill

FROMIS_9 DM vs me now 

etc u get the point... i would pick all their 2022 releases over the 2023 ones. the only group i feel like had better releases this year compared to last was maybe aespa. i really liked my world a lot. i did like a couple stuff tho like shooting stars, perfume, etc but not that much.
