Got Dates? Lemme know what else we need to add!
Have been going down a bit of a Babymonster rabbit hole recently. I stumbled onto this cool acoustic version of "Like That" by two of the members, Ayheon and Pharita. This channel has lots of acoustic performances in a pretty outdoor setting, but I can't quite figure out what's going on, since it's all in Korean. But worth a watch
Abuela's Song of the Day (Apr 23)
Holland - Neverland https://youtu.be/IVzGsh0zRec
cw: flashing, lens flares, drinking (social)
Flashing back to 2018 and the debut release of the first publicly out gay idol, Holland with an MV that got either censored or banned for being "too risqué" despite being far less sexual than a lot of uncensored straight romances.
i was excited to see KiiiKiii released a music video for their song GROUNDWORK!
And while I'm on the topic of Kpop, might as well mention that Hello Stranger is not too bad...

(it's going to make a killing at Waterbomb this summer anyway)
Remember when I said I prefer Hearts2Hearts' debut to that of KiiiKiii ?
(it was here https://mastodon.social/deck/@ladyteruki/114106324879892927 )
Well, good news : KiiiKiii is coming back with a vengeance, and what feels to me like an attempt at a GenZ anthem :

...and that's much more my kind of stuff.
I'm quite liking this new crop of girl groups, among which is VVS.
Tea is understated and makes great use of a lower register, yet it is confident (as all pop releases are supposed to be nowadays). It is hip hop and rap heavy, and yet has a very hum-able chorus just the way I like them...

Also, that f*cking music video is a whole action movie, goddamn (it even has a post-credit scene, ffs).

APRIL -- Doll
https://youtu.be/34jc3Mn0rpQ?si=nvMfEz1XuHX5GPQE
This track was released five years ago as a B side on the "Da Capo" album.
It's an e.one composition, and has a sound I love; I also adore "April Story", "Take My Hand", and "The Blue Bird", all from the magical combination of April and e.one.
Everybody looks good here, but I think Jinsol looks especially pretty with her bob, long sleeved blouse, and white skirt.
I'm also posting this because https://c.im/@JPK_elmediat and I have noticed there is a problem uploading images on the c.im instance. I wanted to see if it was possible to link to YouTube.
