KPop in 2018 - catch me up?


GoldenRule

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone - I took a break from KPop for several months because none of the groups I really stanned for came back (call it bad luck, but all of the groups I liked were either nugu or disbanded warstarplz.png ) Also I wasn't on OH so much, and this other site I go on has a KPop thread that I LOVE but they only ever talk about a few girl groups. As a result, I've barely listened to any KPop that's new for 2018.

 

So, what's new this year? What are your favorite releases so far? Who just came back in a big way, or what are the important new debuts? And beyond music, has there been any big news in the industry I should be aware of?

 

This is literally your chance to pimp out your fave to a willing audience (of one 0u0plz.png ). So whether it's a big group with their new single I just HAVE to listen to, or a nugu you want someone to give a chance, now's the time because I'm all ears.

 

Thanks OH people QRLGYBO.png

Momoland made a comeback with Bboom Bboom and it was a hit (seriously the song is a bop).

Red Velvet had a comeback with their “Velvet†side, their song Bad Boy was amazing (but I don’t think that it’s everyones cup of tea).

IKON came back with Love Scenario which was really popular and it’s been topping the charts for quite a while now.

NCT have been promoting in their respective subunits and as a whole group, so as ot18. They’ve already had various comebacks. NCT U had ‘BOSS’ and ‘Baby don’t stop’, NCT Dream had ‘GO’, NCT 127 had ‘Touch’, and NCT 2018 had ‘Yestoday’. They’re planning on promoting their song ‘Black on Black’ but as a whole group.

Listen to Egoist

 

 

 

I had a feeling I'd be getting plenty of LOONA in this thread :P This is quite good! What would you say are LOONA's biggest releases so far? (I know they haven't debuted as a full group yet, but they've had a LOT of pre-debut stuff). They seem worth getting into cuz they release so regularly.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah I think I remember watching this when it came out. This is definitely my type of song. Thanks for sharing!

 

 

These idiots had a comeback but it lowkey flopped

 

 

This video punched me right in the feelings. The post-chorus is really catchy. The boy at 0:40 is CAYUTE.

OMG sis I don't got time for a 40-minute listening experience amgplz.png What was the single from this album? I'll give that a listen first.

 

 

QUEENS ARE COMING BACK. PLEASE ANTICIPATE.

 

 

Oh yeah, GFriend! I remember really liking "Rough." I'll look out for them ilikeitplz.png

 

 

 

This is good. I think Russian Roulette is probably my favorite RV song.

Thanks again! A friend of mine just recommended "BOSS" so I'll be sure to check that one out.

Oh haha. Hmmm that one was alright. This and "BOSS" which I also just listened to are sort of reminding me that NCT U just isn't really my style. idk if it's hip hop or what (I suck at classifying music), but it's just not the sort of thing I usually enjoy. Thanks for the suggestion though! They're obviously super talented, especially at dancing.

Oooh nice 

GOT7 made a comeback as well

 

 

Oh this was good! I enjoyed it. All those facial close-ups are such fan service harharplz.png  Not that I'm complaining studmuffinplz.png

Oh yeah, Eclipse was THE song everyone was talking about in that other site I was on. I remember listening to it, can't remember how I liked it. I'll definitely check some of these out, thanks!

Some of my fav releases

 

 

 

 

This was released towards the end of last year but it’s too good to leave out

 

 

Ooh CLC, I really liked Black Dress and To The Sky. I hadn't realized they'd released this as well.

 

The April song was pretty, not the type of song I'd listen to again and again but it was nice. I don't thiiiink I've listened to any of their previous songs so I may check that out.

 

The N Flying song was great! I really liked the video too, great concept. (I didn't understand the part where the guy was crying over his thumb print or something haha - what was that about? 0u0plz.png )

 

The INFINITE song was good too! I don't think I'd paid attention to them since Last Romeo (which was a bop and a half)

 

Uhm Jung Hwa's song was nice. Pretty video, too.

 

Hey since you have a Nine Muses badge, can I ask - are you expecting them to have any releases anymore? I know they said they'd continue as a five-member group, buuuut I'm not sure how serious they were being haha

(in chinese, but still)

 

 

 

+ her mixtape released today

 

and luna's having a comeback soon so stay tuned

 

non f(x)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeahhhh, I remember Lower. I listened to it at the time and wished it had a real chorus 0u0plz.png  The music is nice though

holy CRAP "Closed Doors" was good. I watched to the last second to see if there might be some kind of resolution, and when she looked over and smiled I literally said "YAAAAS" out loud laugh.png laugh.png laugh.png  I'm struck by the fact that it's in English - do you think she plans to promote outside of Korea, now or someday? (I'm also struck by the fact that we never see the other person, buuut I'll leave it at that)

 

I'm a big fan of BoA. That song wasn't my favorite but I'm a stan. idk if you follow her Japanese releases but Jazzclub was a bop and some of the album tracks (especially Manhattan Tango) were also really good. TBH I feel like her Japanese songs are better than her Korean ones.

 

Roller Coaster is pretty good

Thanks!

 

The EXO CBX song was alright. I really liked Hey Mama but this didn't do it for me as much. but omfg when that guy sang "can I be your boyfriend" I said yes out loud before I could stop myself 0u0plz.png

 

The Jenga video was really awesome

 

The BanHanNa song is a little too silly for me. I was hoping I'd like it but I'm still waiting for Oh My Girl to blow me away like they did with Liar Liar. That song was amazing.
