I went to my 2024 playlist to put a top 10 together and I only have 11 kpop songs on it I'll post mine soon though JPop wasn't much better - if it wasn't for Utada's greatest hits album I think I'd only have like 7 JPop songs that I liked this year I thought this year had some great K-Pop releases but it felt like it kinda tapered off at the end? The last quarter or so wasn't very memorable, it was a bit of a frontloaded year. And what stood out in J-Pop to me this year was mostly f5ve popping off (and what seems like a growing trend of J-Pop groups that seem more oriented towards an overseas audience like f5ve and XG), and discovering iScream and Tommy february6's music. But in regards to my pre-2024 faves, it wasn't a super interesting year. Fun Fact: The K in KPop stands for "Kate Bush" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe it's already been 5 years since aespa debuted im so happy they finally putting out a new gg i feel like sm never misses when it comes to ggs i hope they do a cool concept/something to differentiate themselves from the rest like kiof. its easier that way cuz these days some groups be blending with others.

A damn mess me loveeee lowkey at first i was a bit confused whether i liked it or not. cuz i was expecting powerhouse vocals or crazy vocals cuz it is a debut and u wanna stand out. cuz after first listen i felt like no memorable parts. but i liked this approach, take a concept thats popular rn but making it urs. and then it grew on me. the choreo fire too.

BUtterfield 8 41,374 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) This would be so c*nty if it wasn’t for the fact that they’re working with producer who got them into the lawsuit mess in the first place So all of that is legal stuff that will be resolved eventually, but one of the more interesting reports that emerged was about how the Ablume members and family were “gaslit” by SIAHN and Warner Music Korea. It says with the backing of Warner, SIAHN stoked fear in the parents that ATTRAKT had no plans for the group, that he instilled fear of debt to the company in them, explained how he had plans for the group stopped by lack of funding from ATTRAKT, and told them that he alone was responsible for their success. That was last September, but it seems most relevant now after it was reported that SIAHN has signed a one-year production deal with Ablume’s company MASSIVE E&C to work with the girls again.
