Category: Monthly Comebacks

My favourite March (2020) comebacks!

First of all… I got to apologise for how L A T E this is. I don’t even really have an excuse, maybe I can blame me doing university work but… I’ve been lacking with that too. I guess I am at that point where motivation is getting hard to find in quarantine, but you guys and this blog is important to me so here we goooooo!

5. 강다니엘 (KANG DANIEL) – 2U

I have to start this one off with how funny the music video for this actually is. However, I do really enjoy the dance for this and the song itself is nice and smooth. Definitely very Kang Daniel vibes, a song that you can listen to while chilling and relaxing.

4. SUHO 수호 – ‘사랑, 하자 (Let’s Love)’

I was so excited for this to come out, and Suho did not disappoint one bit. This is such a ballad and I am so in love with it and him. If you have not yet listened please do, it is really worth it, then come back and tell me how amazing this is.

3. DONGKIZ – LUPIN

BEAT. BEAT. BEAT.
This makes me wanna get up and dance along. They are a group that I really wish would get more recognition because they are genuinely so good why is the Kpop industry sleeping on them! Honestly really like the concept and if you have a spare minute this a good group I very highly recommend!

2. Stray Kids – “바보라도 알아”

Feel like it has been a hot minute since I have had Stray Kids on this blog, but this slower version of them is something I have really enjoyed. This was definitely a grower, a few listens and I was in love with how it all sounded.

1. ITZY – “WANNABE”

ICONIC. This has been on repeat, and I really mean on repeat. I am in love with the lyrics and how positive it is about just purely being yourself, and I highly support it. The music video is so strong and please get me a few of these outfits I need them! Also, the dancing is so good and on point, this months favourite was not hard to pick!

So what has been everyone’s favourite in March?

My favourite February (2020) comebacks!

Hello everyone,
Before I fully start I would like to wish you all well, please stay safe and if you are self isolating I am a message away! Expect a lot more posts in the next few weeks, it’s time for me to stay inside as much as possible.

5. iKON –  뛰어들게(Dive)

No matter what YG puts these boys through, they still resurface as strong as ever. Even without B.I, you can still tell he has had his part in this. The boys just keep going and remaining strong, the song is definitely a calmer one than some of their previous work but I like that.

4. Weki Meki 위키미키 – DAZZLE DAZZLE

These girls always make me smile, and I just love the aesthetic of the video. I have had this on repeat and even my little brother bops to this! Definitely recommend them if you’re looking to get into a girl group.

3. KARD – RED MOON

KARD – do they ever disappoint? Each time they have a comeback I just get more hooked and more impressed. I have mad respect for BM too, he’s been ever so helpful and understanding towards monbebes, thank you. The song itself has a hard beat to it and the music video is full of visuals. We’re definitely lucky to keep receiving such bops.

2. MCND – ICE AGE

Not going to lie to you guys, this is the first I have seen of this group and can I just say, I am older than pretty much all of them – wish I was this talented. The visuals are a yes, the rap is a mega yes and the song hits well. I will definitely be looking more into this group, if anyone wants to send me helpful guides I would appreciate it!

1. PENTAGON – Dr. BeBe

CAN THEY JUST CHILL FOR ONE COMEBACK PLEASE! Pentagon will forever remain one of my favourite groups, even though the drama with Yanan is not over (by drama I mean the fact that he wants to come back but CUBE won’t let him), they just keep releasing new songs that everyone falls in love with. Their fandom (universe) are so sweet and am so proud to be a part of it. Am very much in love with the vocals and visuals and love the way the music video has been put together.

What were your favourite February comebacks? Have I missed out on a gem? Do let me know!

My favourite January (2020) comebacks!

I cannot believe that we are in 2020 already, but did anyone else feel like January has lasted forever? Honestly, so glad that we are in February.

What a crazy month it has been for K-POP, and honestly I have been living for it. This one has been tough to organise into top five if I’m honest with you guys, so I’m ever so curious to see what you guys would of done for January and your top picks!

So, let’s get into it.

5. TAEYEON – 태연 ‘내게 들려주고 싶은 말 (Dear Me)

To start of January, I really enjoyed Taeyeon’s new full album repackage, but this song specifically. I love how positive the song is and the actual melody is so calming yet energising, does that make sense to anyone else?

4. SUPER JUNIOR – 슈퍼주니어 ‘2YA2YAO!’

They came, they conquered, they won.
Honestly, I couldn’t be more proud and happy with all these boys have put into this. They all look so good, and if you haven’t yet listened to this song, you’re really missing out I promise you.

3. DUSTIN – BURN

I have been waiting for this group to debut so I could talk about them for a while! The build up to their debut has been amazing, and the support from their international fan base has been crazy. The song may take a few listens for some people, but it’s a grower and I really really love it. If I could bring these boys to the UK I so would! Their vocals are fab, rap is totally on point and over all I have been hyping these boys up on all my socials!

2. ATEEZ (에이티즈) – ‘Answer’

Were we expecting anything else other than an absolute master piece? The answer is no.
ATEEZ have once again come and completely smashed it out the bag. I have read some crazy theories about the music video and everything and honestly I love the creativity. Also, the lightstick is an absolute master piece. The song itself is nice and energetic and the music video is so well shot/directed.
Are any of my readers going to their tour? If so, which stop?

1. SF9 – ‘Good Guy’

Watching these boy get wins for this absolute banger was all I could of asked for, maybe I even teared up. This song personally really speaks to me, kind of reminds me of older Kpop songs. It has been on repeat, both versions of the album bought and overall just rate this a strong 11/10. It’s been hinted that these boys will return to Europe, please pray that they’ll still include the UK!

I am ever so sorry about how late this blog post is, settling back into university after Christmas break off has been kind of hard, but look out for Monsta X’s album review and February comebacks soon!

My favourite December (2019) comebacks!

Happy (late) New Year everybody! I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has made 2019 good for me and this blog. Thank you for all the support that I was given and therefore allowed to continue to create content.

2020 has already opened it’s doors so much wider for me, and I can’t wait to share my new experiences with you guys and let you all know the exciting things in which you can take part in too! It’s going to be a crazy ride, but I’m here for it.

So let’s get into the last month of Kpop in 2019, and see what my favourites have been.

5. Lee Jun Young(이준영) – Curious About U

He has done so well, and the beat is so catchy. It’s been a song that I have really liked since listening to it for the first time, I wish more people were supporting him like he deserves! He is so talented, and the music video is so bright. A big thumbs up from me.

4. CL – +ONE AND ONLY180228+

Guys, you have no idea how happy I am to see her making music again. This song (lyrics wise anyway) is definitely taking a dig, and she is proving that there is really no one else like her. This is so creative and still a lot like her style, am so happy she didn’t give up.

3. 혁 (HYUK) – ‘겨울나비 (Winter Butterfly)’

Hyuk has worked really hard on this, and he is definitely one of the most improved vocalists. In VIXX there were times he’d get little lines, and now to see him with his own comeback is amazing. The song is nice and slow, full of emotion and his vocals just smash it honestly, couldn’t be more proud of him. If you haven’t checked his album out, I definitely recommend that you do!

2. MOMOLAND(모모랜드) _ Thumbs Up

I love so many of the outfits in this music video I just had to rank MOMOLAND high! Of course, the song is extremely catchy and leaves you singing it for most of the day too. I think they are so unique, recently they really stand out for me.

1. Red Velvet – ‘Psycho’

Question, how could this not be my favourite of December? This is honestly absolutely everything that I have wanted Red Velvet to give me. The lyrics, the music and the video all just satisfy me so much. Each of the members shine in their own way, this era is doing good for them all. I wish Wendy steady recovery, and am looking forward to what 2020 has in store for them as a group.

So, those were my favourites from December, do you agree? What were your favourites? I will try to be more active in 2020, I know I have more planned but it’s more to do with this blog and this genre, so I will be bringing you some exclusive content in the future!

(There might be an ATEEZ and SF9 unboxing on the way…).

My favourite October (2019) comebacks!

When will I ever post on time? Can I maybe get away by saying it’s been a lot to deal with in the fandoms this past month? I actually wrote this update a few days ago, it’s just uploading that I’ve deffered. I’ll say what I have to when it gets to the right song.

5. Youngjae – Forever Love

I’m forever thankful that this man is making music by himself. He never disappoints and his music is right up my street. Definitely even prefer this one to his last comeback, which is a lot.

4. ATEEZ – Wonderland

I know what you’re thinking. ATEEZ at number 4? Are you okay? Now listen, this comeback definitely SLAPS. The title track for sure is one of their best yet, but the rest of the album I’m not sure how keen I am personally. These rookies stole my heart back then and they still have it, can’t believe it’s already been a year since I’ve stanned.

3. VAV – Poison

Can I just say how proud I am? Not only is this song a proper tune but they’re also coming and touring Europe again. I am so excited to see them in London, if any of you are going and want to meet just let me know!

2. Bz-Boys – YESSIR

I’ve stumbled on this group by accident and I already want to stan just from this one song? Honestly I’ve had this song on replay and I highly recommend you guys give this group a chance! (If anyone stans and wants to teach me please do!).

1. Monsta X – Follow

Now this is a difficult one. I mean this comeback should of been one of Monsta X’s best comebacks to date. Everyone loved it, side tracks were amazing. But the fandom was so hurt by news and how everything was dealt with. Never the less we’ve supported and got wins, but we’re all still hurting as we remain unsure on the future of the group. Monsta X is OT7 in our hearts, and I can do nothing but support the boys, pray for the best and wait to see what the future holds. Please, don’t leave our boys.

So better late than never, if anyone needs a chat please do find me on my twitter @ SunlitYoungjae.

My favourite September (2019) comebacks!

It’s been a hot minute, a hot month and a hot load of preparations! (Ok, maybe that didn’t work but we will go with it). Personally, I think that the girls absolutely rocked it this month.

If anyone is going to GOT7 in London and wants to meet let me know! I will be around all day doing my bits!

5. Zico – Human

Zico Zico Zico – I am so happy to see this, definitely a song that I’ve enjoyed a few times over and over again.

4. TWICE – Feel Special

This song has a lot more meaning to it than first seems. I’ve watched multiple youtube videos and theories on how deep their message actually is. I am so proud of them all! The song has been stuck in my head a few times, and I have streamed it some bit. Maybe it’s time to buy some physical albums from TWICE..?

3. KARD – Dumb Litty

W. O. W.
This is exactly what I needed from KARD, something completely different and absolutely breath taking. This has been a banger in the making and we all know that we love this look!

2. CLC – Devil

Do these girls ever disappoint? Nope. Never. I am in love with them all, and I love how mischievous they all are in the music video, works well with the title. Honestly, I need them to come to London, I want to see these girlies live!

1. Dreamcatcher – Deja Vu

Well well well. Out of all the songs that came out in September, this song has beaten them all for me. I really need to learn the members of Dreamcatcher, they deserve my support even more than ever. I have followed them music wise since pretty much debut, just never really got into the members. If anyone wants to help, hit me up on twitter @SunlitYoungjae. For now, enjoy this masterpiece.

Well, that’s it from me. The next time you hear from me will be after I’ve met GOT7 in London… get ready for a review like no other..!

My favourite August (2019) comebacks!

Another month gone. It’s easy to forget how quick time flies, as am getting ready to return back to university after a summer of being at home. With my busy schedule though, I still had time to dive into my favourite comebacks in the Korean music industry. Let’s go!

5. FANXY CHILD – Y

Fanxy Child have always been a group that were made out of my favourite artists. Seeing them come back and do more has been a blessing. It’s a very chilled, laid back vibe that they’ve brought this time with some easy listen rap and vocals that are on point. Can’t wait for even more from them.

4. Ravi – Still Nirvana

I feel that from my top 5 this month you can definitely see a pattern. Have to be honest here, it took me a few listens to get into this flow, but once I was in that was it. Ravi never disappoints in my opinion, if he returns to London I hope to see him for sure. The song has a lot of featured artists which can be a bit overwhelming, but never the less adore adore adore this song!

3. M.O.N.T

This song is so important, it talks about a piece of land that is Korean however the Japanese fought over it (if you would like to read some discussion about it, underneath the video are fans explaining the situation much better than me). The flow of the song is very powerful, you can hear the pride and loudness of the group. Aside from the deep message that it brings, the song is 100% my type, and M.O.N.T are a group I am looking into learning.

2. EVERGLOW – Adios

If you haven’t heard this yet… where have you been? This was so close to actually being my number one this month. The chorus will be stuck in your head for days on end, the beat is so uplifting and sucks you in so you want to dance. It is definitely a comeback of theirs that will keep me interested to see what they do next!

1 PENIEL – Flip ft Beenzino

THIS.IS.HIS.YEAR!
This has been on my repeat over and over. Peniel has done so well on this comeback, and I have lowkey missed him. The flow of the rap is too good, the chorus is so catchy and I just have nothing bad to say. Please go and support Peniel!

So, they’re my top 5 – what are yours this month?

My Favourite July (2019) comebacks!

What a month July has been, probably one of my favourites so far! Let’s go!

5. Kang Daniel – What are you up to?

I am so happy to see Daniel doing some work, especially with everything that has been going on. Counts to say, I am definitely his fan and can’t wait what else he comes out with.

4. VAV – Give me more

This is such a summer bop, with a nice breakdown it is definitely one that gets stuck in your head. The music video is so nice and bright and the rap is exactly my type of vibe.

3. ITZY – ICY

This girl group is slowly becoming my favourite! (How many more times will I say favourite in this post?). Their first single blew me away, and this is just the comeback I was expecting. They have a distinct style and I definitely think that there is a lot in store from and for ITZY. Can you stay still while listening to this song?

2. Ailee – Room Shaker

My top two were so hard to choose between. Ailee, my girl, this comeback has slayed! I cannot stop playing this song over and over again. It is a completely new side that I adore. She’s so beautiful and talented, so I hope you can all go and support her!

1. Pentagon – Humph!

So, here we are at my number one of this month. With a chill vibe it has been my go to while working, playing and just relaxing. It’s a shame that Yanan is missing out of yet another music video, however I wish him well with his recovery and hope to see him back with these boys. They have not had it easy, but it’s definitely a group to look out for.

So, another month of the year over, and we are already near the end of August! What were your favourite comebacks of July?

My favourite June (2019) comebacks!

First of all, am so sorry about how behind I have been. Life has gotten in the way then I was on holiday. Soon you can expect: July comebacks, SF9 in London and Monsta X in London. For now, here are the June comebacks that I have been living for.

This month is lacking girl groups/artists, however my personal top 5 are as follows.

5. NCT DREAM X HRVY – Don’t Need Your Love

Honestly, everyone was so apprehensive when this collaboration was announced, but it is safe to say that it is such a catchy song. I am so impressed and it did not take that long for me to adore it.

4. Yesung – Pink Magic

Seeing him again feels great, this song has been in my playlist for some time and definitely has been played (like a lot)! Made me so happy to see Kevin Woo supporting him too.

3. Zelo – Questions

I was so excited for this!!! Melo never disappoints and I really hope that all of the B.A.P boys continue to show us work so we can support them.

2. Monsta X ft French Montana – Who Do You Love?

Now this is another collaboration that has had lot of different views, and yeah it is all in English but it is a bop we cannot deny it. #wherearechangkyunslines

1. ATEEZ – Wave

ATEEZ just keep amazing me. These boys will always have my support and they are growing so quickly. It’s a proper summer jam and it is safe to say I miss them!

So here we go, 5 June comebacks that have made my month amazing. What have been your favourites?

My favourite April (2019) comebacks!

This months update is a little bit behind, many apologies, was busy getting all of my University stuff done! So let’s look at my favourite April comebacks, and there’s a few…

5. I.M X ELHAE – HORIZON

Of course Monsta X have my support whether it’s group or solo, and this mixtape definitely got my attention very quickly. It’s a proper jam, I’m not complaining! So, anyone going to see them in London?

4. TWICE – FANCY

A new comeback from Twice, the amount they get I sometimes struggle to keep up. This took a few replays, but the chorus ends up being stuck in my head days on end. A lot of people were expecting a lot more from this, but I think it’s still very… Twice?

3. NU’EST – BET BET

The way this song snapped. I really need to get to know the members as this is a group I have been following for such a LONG time now when it comes to their music.

2. BLACKPINK – Kill This Love

Now this was definitely a song to split the fandom. I feel like half of the fandom loved it while the other didn’t… Either way, it broke some records and stuff, and these girls are so talented. Definitely a bop that I am enjoying very much!

1. YOUNGJAE – Another Night

Many of us were upset when we knew that the B.A.P boys weren’t going to be working as a group anymore and rather focus on themselves. However, this is definitely not as much of a loss as we all expected. All the boys are throwing amazing solo comebacks our way, and not to be biased (though he always was my bias), Youngjae completely snapped when it came to this song. Please love and support them all!

These were my top 5 songs of April within the KPOP genre, what were yours? Stay tuned for my post about SF9 in London which should be up in a few days!
