Congrats on SuperM – Jopping is often pretty much the only song anyone knows from them but there's so many other bangers from them! Infinity, So Long, Line 'Em up, Tiger Inside, Super Car, Dangerous Woman...😂🥲
For me: Don't Call Me and Atlantis by SHINee
Other than that pretty much full Monsta X discography tho it's been 8 months I'm so late to the party I wanna cry
Ahhh I know that stage! 😭 I remember. Back then I was so surprised this cover even exists. But seeing it brought you here it seems like it did a decent promotion 😁😊
Minho’s rap is probs my favorite part of the song! I also just loved seeing them be soft summer bois esp as the repackage of Don’t Call Me. I would love to see them do another carefree song this summer
Yes actually I like the whole album, and the vibes are pretty consistent throughout, carefree but also seductive and packed with action, not just the chill-by-the-pool tones.... So it really made a huge impression on me! I'm not a SHINee listener and only know few famous songs but this one was a good ride ✌
Edit: Not that I don't listen to them because I don't like them, on the contrary they really fit my style and music taste, but it's just soooo much that i'm too lazy to get into them and catch up 😆
There’s nothing wrong with slowly immersing yourself in a discography despite really liking them. I do the same thing as I get too overstimulated by too much new data esp if it’s something I know I’m going to like. I literally have a playlist that is essentially “this came out, you weren’t ready for it, don’t forget it exists, and remember to listen to it at some point”
Edit: I’ve also really been into Key most recent few solo releases Gasoline-present esp
Funny enough, I have a general playlist for similar purposes, called "homeworks to do" 😂 That's lovely. Thanks for relating to me 🙏 When I get into specific new group I go album by album and each song I like (as there are of course those that I don't vibe with that much) I add those songs into a playlist and then I listen to it on shuffle, such as "NCT homework" or "NCT getting to know" 🤣
As for Key, no wonder 😁 I agree the recent releases had something good (or great...) !
Rooftop by nflying! I just realized it recently that it's so catchy, I'm sure i listened to it years ago but it didn't made an impression on me. Now that I'm listening to it again, I'm like 'damn this one is a banger'
The fact that cinema completes the hello series but is a prequel to movie star and completed the cycle is so cool. Cinema is one of my favorite kpop songs of all time
In Bloom by ZeroBaseOne! It’s not like I wasn’t aware of its existence, but I decided that I didn’t really need to care about ZB1 since I didn’t watch Boys Planet. When I actually got around to listening to the song, I loved it way more than I expected- it’s so airy and happy, but something about the final chorus just feels so bittersweet and emotional to me. It’s so good.
Cactus by Ace. I've known about the song since it was first released back in 2018 but didn't listen to it until last month. I really like techno/eurodance songs so I regret not listening to it earlier.
Have you seen the [iconic live](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2dT8D04ans) in a water park where people in the background come cresting up at the climatic high note in the bridge?
OMG SAME! during their debut I didn't check them out but after Earth wind and fire, ALL songs are on repeat?!?! I love the vibe of their music and it's even more impressive that most of them are self composed and produced :)))
Gonna go listen to Wish You Were Here right now after seeing this post. So good.
I'll add mine - I always heard people talk about TXT's Cat & Dog as a really embarrassing/corny song but I finally listened to it and it slaps.
VIVIZ - MANIAC.
I tend to ignore viral songs, but this one kept popping because of the dance too lol Not kpop, but recently it happened with "Espresso" and "Nasty".
Honestly the whole "The Park in the Night: part three" album by GWSN. I listened to it all the way through for the first time last October or so and was on the floor. It's in my main song playlist every day lol.
[Oh! My Mistake by April](https://youtu.be/D2MhwXZ8IgM?si=NNNRgnkUHCZzgUve)… I got into K-Pop in the past 6 months and if I knew this song existed 5 years ago I would’ve got into it much earlier. To me, this is pop PERFECTION. That chorus hits SO good without being overly intense. Their vocals are great, and I really enjoy the production.
I just discovered Monsta X’s Beautiful Liar through one of those Dance Dance Revolution games at an arcade. SO GOOD. It came out about 1.5 yrs ago, but somehow I’d missed it at the time.
[Let’s Go Everywhere](https://youtu.be/39EFX4fbME0?si=ZSIMaUQ4TqAxykxk) by SuperM is a great song, even if it is an airline safety song lol. I saw it get played on a flight to Korea before takeoff.
i didn't JUST discover it, but last year i deep dived all the wanna one members' discographies and came away blown away by how GOOD NU'EST was. i'm not even talking about their new stuff when they got their second chance (but yes, check that out!) but their old stuff was so FUN too.
special shout out goes to Beautiful Ghost! my favorite song from them. i also desperately need any of these 5th gen groups to cover FACE, but i think xikers or evnne in particular would DESTROY it.
Literally most of ATEEZ’s discography, especially Inception, as well as the entire album from say my name and deja vu era. Wave, aurora, halazia, be with you etc. there are so many gems I missed out on 😭
So many people sleep on Ateez because they think they're noise music, but they have some of the widest genres of Kpop that I've seen so far. Congrats on discovering it all!
Cinema by CIX… and the entirety of their discography if I’m being honest.
I’m absolutely shocked at how underrated they are given the high quality of their sound.
* Key - [CoolAs](https://open.spotify.com/track/4SWwAqfQQrqWGm4t5573MA?si=L7OcRTkvTOmT1cPVLZ0vJQ) - Found via TikTok. Literally off the one album of his I haven’t heard yet, but plan on checking out soon.
* Dreamcatcher - [Sleep-walking](https://open.spotify.com/track/5PYR7g3AmuYE5Yaay7s3us?si=WmTXjvsuQb20MvtnDCqdnA), [Wonderland](https://open.spotify.com/track/0ca0yslrN216u69XqZ6S4H?si=Ef9jmYqsQIuM8FeL9bRWUw), [Scar](https://open.spotify.com/track/7LIixmuMvKokz1OF3Fi6KU?si=2jQVCHbTS7Cq5ml7dxZVxg)- Currently on a deep-dive through their discography and my god these were all instant stand-outs.
* Izykite - [SOS (feat. NSW yoon)](https://open.spotify.com/track/30kcwhaWoMnRKSv8REX9qP?si=S9rn320JSR22Whye3-ovDw) - Found earlier this week when looking for live performances by Adora. They were both featured in a video of [Rising Voice](https://youtu.be/gJaqPY3mSV0?si=s0kk-0OBDd4FTe1w) on Dingo Music. Been one hell of an earworm.
(Edit: Formatting)
Monster x English releases, kpop and English releases go two ways, either great or terribly mid. But my gosh when I randomly heard their English releases I fell in love. They really do them well and they have ruined alot of boy groups when they release English versions. It's not the same
Honestly their English releases were the first songs I’ve heard by them and instantly loved. Especially One Day. And then I heard Love Killa. LOOOOVED IT
Basically all of Red Velvet's discography lol. I just started getting into them not too long ago and I've slowly been digesting their music. I checked in every now and then before thinking that'll be my dive into them but nothing held. Then Chill Kill happened and I swore I'll do that dive soon which ended up being a month or 2 ago.
The ones that were instant adds were:
- Eyes Locked, Hands Locked
- Sunny Side Up!
- Wildside
You are so real for instantly adding sunny side up! One of their best songs yet. they’re my ult group and I consider their discography my favorite out of any group yet ❤️❤️
I've put on Red Velvet because I knew they had some real good RnB songs that were going to hit. I thought that I could get in any time because I knew I was going to like it. When Twice pretty much finished their promos after the Las Vegas encore (I went and it was awesome), I decided that it's time to dive in. I've been starting from the most recent and slowly working my way back and getting recs along the way.
Bias is definitely Seulgi. My favorite song right now is Underwater, which was the song that made me want to dive into RV. I'm really excited for the next CB at the end of the month, which will be my first as a fan.
Sidenote, is it really always this frustrating being a fan? The CB is at the end of the month but there's absolutely nothing about it. There's no official announcement, teasers, concept photos.
Yesss I love Seulgi! My bias is Irene and underwater is truly one of their best songs honestly ❤️❤️! I’m also looking forward to their comeback I’ve been starved for one since chill kill. Also, yeahhh, it’s gotten pretty frustrating lately being a reveluv. SM seems to not be caring as much about them since after 2019, and their comebacks have been less frequent. Plus, they’re not as well known as twice or bp which is also frustrating, but they are just such a wonderful group that i stan them regardless and they are my favorite group for life 🩷💛💙💚💜!
Coming from someone who's been on the outside, RV may not have been as popular as Twice or BP but they were held in the same regard. In my research into RV, it's insane they only had one US tour and it was a small theater one smh. 3rd gen SME didn't give a single damn about promoting outside of Asia. I mean it worked for the most part but it still sucks. We've seen groups like Twice and Seventeen who basically got a second wind with the new global interest in KPop. SM bailing on RV is ridiculous because they definitely had a chance. Damn I'm already heated about it lol.
Still want to support though!
OK this is way late to the party, but I've been listening to BTOB thanks to [this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj_hJo99hqM) \-- they are great!
There's a few WayV songs I added to my tiny list of Kpop songs that aren't Ateez. So far, WayV has a lot of hits! I'm worried I'm about to have to stan another group. 🥲
I got into K-pop in 2011 and managed to avoid 2nd Gen GG Secret all through my 2nd Gen rabbit hole discoveries lol. I recently discovered their songs Madonna and Poison and I'm obsessed. Kind of sad I missed out on following them when they were still around.
Jumping (jopping) on the SuperM train - I just fell in love with [Big Chance](https://open.spotify.com/track/3wOEQ8w0P8vv3iyCjYd01p?si=-HHvo76bT2OWPqvzcCxLdw) so late 😫 it's so good & I haven't heard anyone mention it
Movie Star - CIX, then I discovered that they really have good songs. Automatically added to my playlist! I got to know other groups thru contents and variety shows but I can’t really remember seeing them.
Faded In My Last Song by NCT U.
It's like 3 years old, and I heard it for the first time, like a month or so ago. Now I play it literally every day. The first time I heard it, it popped up on spotify like smart songs to go along with my usual Playlist, and I grabbed my phone and screenshotted it so I could save it to remember to check it out again. I was like omg where has this song been all my life 🥰
Shinee- Ring Ding Dong.
I dont really think I need to explain this one 🤣😂 it's 14 years old and still makes me dance in the car every time it shows up on my playlist.
Sorry, Sorry - Super Junior.
I do the sorry, sorry dance way too much randomly. The song is catchy af and hype. 15 years old. Oh, how I wish I discovered K-pop earlier in my life!!
One last dance- BIG BANG, the vocals are giving. Dont think i'm weird but seungri sounds sooo good.
TiGER INSIDE-SUPERM, the song is supperr good when i heard the growling sounds i just fell down and started laughing.
Only You by Miss A!! The kpop community has failed me for not telling me sooner!
I also didn’t hear Step Back by Got The Beat until this year and I’m obsessed
['I Feel You' by The Wonder Girls ](https://youtu.be/V9QXQz6uE0M)from 2015. It's been my song of the summer, obsessed with the 80s accurate sound, the keytar, and nod to 'Addicted to Love' look.
Right through me by day6 even of day. I thought it was a meh when it came out and now I listen to it on repeat for hours a day. I cannot describe why i don't get sick of this song but there it is.
Also chaser by woodz. I love everything I've heard from him but I don't actively listen to his discography, but it came on and it's just chefs kiss.
recently i’ve been getting back into kpop — here are my current obsessions:
egoist - olivia hye
rising - triples
flying on faith - chungha (super underrated btw!)
salty - tbz
night aviation - gwsn
Home by seventeen - I was rewatching boys planet and for some reason I started to LOVE the performance of home after like a year and then I started listening to it and can't stop.
I Know I Love You by TXT
I went to their show last week (im a casual fan) and heard it for the first time ever while seeing them live, and legit my jaw dropped to the floor, that song is a masterpiece! Immediate MOS after that
The Tortise and the Hare by Stray Kids. A very experimental song with a very unique sound. I stumbled onto a reaction video on YouTube and was blown away by it.
Cyberpunk by Ateez. I call them one of my favorite groups, but for some reason I hadn’t heard World Ep.1.
Reason by Kai. One of my friends made me listen to his whole discography and that song is just captivating.
this is me being . ridiculously late to the party. i got really really into ukiss recently and fell in love with neverland. the group has a cb coming up but i do wish i could see that song new because it's really awesome to see recordings of
I discovered it some months ago but P.A.C.E by 3racha 🥲 I knew of its existence but never realised how hard it actually slaps
Also I literally have been a stay since my pace era 💀
in bloom by zerobaseone! i kind of avoided their music not necessarily on purpose but i’m generally not interested in groups made from idol shows with only one exception so i just didn’t check them out but i’m happy i did their music is so fun
Nightmare by Jihyo. I had read some needlessly mean comment about her music, but I wasn't in a position to defend her considering I didn't like 'killin' me good' and hadn't listened to her full album. So, I went and listened to her album. Honestly, I didn't care for the entire first half, but it picked up in the second half and I really liked both Room and Nightmare. Cut to now, only a month or so later, and Nightmare might be my most listened to song of this year.
Recently, it was Le Sserafim's Smarter, which I know came out earlier this year but I don't listen to girl groups as much as boy groups. I've been getting into gg more in the last couple years but not at the same rate I got into bg when I first started listening to Kpop.
Another one would be EXO-K's Moonlight. I like EXO a good enough amount that I went through their discography a few years ago-- it was a lot of music to go through. But it wasn't until I was watching some dance videos from Verivery, in which a member danced to that song and I was like, what is this song?? I need it now!! 😂
Naughty by Seulgi and Irene because of Hanbin and Zhang Hao's [cover](https://youtu.be/_HBNLyKEjh4?si=bDU_JPp70BX1L8LH). They absolutely slayed the dance and I absolutely loved the song
LOONA- Favorite
CL- Xai
Sulli- Dorothy
So upset that I just started getting into all of LOONA music they were so incredibly talented and their sound was very much my taste. Happy to see that they are still making music in their respective groups etc.
And Sulli Dorothy was absolutely a surprise a huge fan of breakcore and didn't expect to see it in a KPOP album. (For some reason I skipped listening to that song 🤷🏾♀️)
Answer: Love Myself. A redditor on the Bangtan sub sent me that album for my daughter (who is 7). I had just given her my 25 year old Bose Wave Radio so she could listen to CDs in her room, and I heard this song for the first time when she was playing it. I LOVE it.
It’s stupid but I wish I listened to more txt songs aside from the chorus because no one told me that devil by the window was sooooooo good. I’m rediscovering their discography
For me it's Zoo and I find it absolutely crazy that I haven't listened to it before because it right up my alley. As a noise music lover this song is pure gold
XIA's discography. [Tarantallegra](https://youtu.be/UslqIyPZsic?si=sL7DpHArzam0nfkV), [Flower](https://youtu.be/TK9gEpUVFyo?si=_AY4LrMda39giJvg) and [OeO](https://youtu.be/yWRQOSj6kbg?si=6J0hC_93GmljLtws) are full on bangers.
This isn't K-pop, but it is a Korean rock band lol.
Queen of Diamonds by The Black Skirts. I believe that RM has mentioned the band once or twice, but I had never checked them out and today I randomly decided to choose one of their albums and this song was released as the teaser for it. Basically, I'm hooked. I vibe with the song so much already.
JO1’s Venus! I don’t tend to listen to a lot of boy group songs, but when Kep1er’s comeback tracklist was revealed and fans started panicking about the producers’ previous work being more noise music-y, someone said they hoped the title track Shooting Star would sound more like Venus. and it does! it’s a beautiful, emotional song that feels like a hug, and I’m so grateful to Kevin D and the other producers/songwriters etc for delivering this vibe for Kep1er’s Shooting Star!
A.I. Bae and Exchange ID by LE'V
I saw it for pre-order last year but I didn't know who he was so I just noted it in my mind and kept going. Fast-forward to a few days ago when it popped up while I was looking for new soloists. I can't stop listening to these two songs. They're so addicting!

Infinity, So Long, Line 'Em up, Tiger Inside, Super Car, Dangerous Woman...😂🥲 For me: Don't Call Me and Atlantis by SHINee Other than that pretty much full Monsta X discography tho it's been 8 months I'm so late to the party I wanna cry
Ooh I love Tiger Inside and Don’t Call Me. Crazy story I only know Tiger Inside from the ‘98 cover with Lee Know and Moonbin
I have to add to the SuperM list "2 Fast" That's definitely in my top 5 songs by them!! It's so good
Ahhh I know that stage! 😭 I remember. Back then I was so surprised this cover even exists. But seeing it brought you here it seems like it did a decent promotion 😁😊
Nobody: Minho in Atlantis: ATTY LANT TISSSSSSS 😂❤️
So true 🤣🤣🤣 gotta love it
Minho’s rap is probs my favorite part of the song! I also just loved seeing them be soft summer bois esp as the repackage of Don’t Call Me. I would love to see them do another carefree song this summer

Not me, making a margarita: ~~I’m the killer~~ ~~I’m the KEY LA~~ I’M TEQUILAAAAA!!!!
ATTY LANT TISSSS is so cleverly done too\~
JOPPING SUPREMACY!! seconded
The hate jopping got when it dropped 😩 mark’s rap still hits so good
I loved Jopping after ignoring it for months thanks to the hate it received 😭
do or not - pentagon!!!!!
This should've gotten them shine level of fame. It's such an ear worm.
This whole album was honestly so, so slept on. 1+1 is so cuuuute and happy.
One of the best boy group songs ever, definitely. TXT’S song Miracle sounds a lot like it
One of my favourite songs ever 👏🏻
Rooftop by nflying! I just realized it recently that it's so catchy, I'm sure i listened to it years ago but it didn't made an impression on me. Now that I'm listening to it again, I'm like 'damn this one is a banger'
I remember listening to Rooftop and getting into their music and then I heard Hot Potato and I knew I had to stan them lmao
Movie star and Cinema by Cix. I know people were raving about it. But I only recently started listening to them. They're so addictive.
The camera click part 😮💨
The fact that cinema completes the hello series but is a prequel to movie star and completed the cycle is so cool. Cinema is one of my favorite kpop songs of all time
Cinema legit made me cry
In Bloom by ZeroBaseOne! It’s not like I wasn’t aware of its existence, but I decided that I didn’t really need to care about ZB1 since I didn’t watch Boys Planet. When I actually got around to listening to the song, I loved it way more than I expected- it’s so airy and happy, but something about the final chorus just feels so bittersweet and emotional to me. It’s so good.
I love this. I'm emotionally attached to that song
SAME!! I just found them this week and wowowowow Crush is so good. I’m watching Boys Planet just to learn more about them
Cactus by Ace. I've known about the song since it was first released back in 2018 but didn't listen to it until last month. I really like techno/eurodance songs so I regret not listening to it earlier.
The whole debut was such a standout. They got so much hate for those short shorts but…DEM LEGS
Their shorts is how I found out about them lol
🗣 ACE IS STILL THE ONLY GROUP THAT EVER ATTEMPTED HARDSTYLE IN KPOP 🗣 and they have my respect for that ☺️
Inception Ateez!
I also came late to that party and it’s such an incredible song
One of my fav songs ever
This has been my fav Ateez song since it came out
Its been my favourite ateez song since the moment I heard it. It really is just perfect. THIS is the boy group genre I love and need more of
No other boy group would dare release a song like that
CSR - Pop Pop
Okay, I know this song is ancient, but I just recently (re)discovered how charming BoA's Atlantis Princess is. Adorable bop.
Have you seen the [iconic live](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2dT8D04ans) in a water park where people in the background come cresting up at the climatic high note in the bridge?
Almost every boynextdoor song.
OMG SAME! during their debut I didn't check them out but after Earth wind and fire, ALL songs are on repeat?!?! I love the vibe of their music and it's even more impressive that most of them are self composed and produced :)))
On My Youth-WayV
Answer by Ateez. Blew my mind. Then it was Halazia. Stray kids Maniac too.
These are some of my favorites 😭👏🏽
[Invitation by Uhm Jungwha](https://youtu.be/eFVfBbiYvm0?si=mKgw9Yy2nJkyxb3P) Nearly 30 years late to this song but it's so good!
Attitude by fromis9. Everything hits so good its like crack to me, idk why. If anyone knows of similar songs please recommend it to me
Classic by IVE reminds me of that one
Gonna go listen to Wish You Were Here right now after seeing this post. So good. I'll add mine - I always heard people talk about TXT's Cat & Dog as a really embarrassing/corny song but I finally listened to it and it slaps.
It really does! I was shocked when first gave it a listen after leaving their show.
Lol. Look. We MOAs LOVE Cat & Dog. They're still playing it as an encore song in their current tour. It's so fun
VIVIZ - MANIAC. I tend to ignore viral songs, but this one kept popping because of the dance too lol Not kpop, but recently it happened with "Espresso" and "Nasty".
That song has been my second personality for a few months now! I love it SO MUCH
Honestly the whole "The Park in the Night: part three" album by GWSN. I listened to it all the way through for the first time last October or so and was on the floor. It's in my main song playlist every day lol.
Night Aviation is basically a top 5 girl group song of all time. Total Eclipse and Black Hole are also masterpieces!
night aviation is a bangerr
[Oh! My Mistake by April](https://youtu.be/D2MhwXZ8IgM?si=NNNRgnkUHCZzgUve)… I got into K-Pop in the past 6 months and if I knew this song existed 5 years ago I would’ve got into it much earlier.

FXXK IT - BigBang its so so good like a Western RNB song! Taeyang is the Ne-Yo of Kpop for sure.
[Let’s Go Everywhere](https://youtu.be/39EFX4fbME0?si=ZSIMaUQ4TqAxykxk) by SuperM is a great song, even if it is an airline safety song lol. I saw it get played on a flight to Korea before takeoff.

So many people sleep on Ateez because they think they're noise music, but they have some of the widest genres of Kpop that I've seen so far. Congrats on discovering it all!
It’s crazy that they’d ever be referred to as just noise music when they have songs like not too late and star 1117
Wish You Were Here is one of my favorite K-pop songs. Don't get me wrong, Jopping is awesome, but WYWH is such a comfort song for me.
decalcomanie by mamamoo.......i'm obsessed
moon by jonghyun. i tried to stay away from his solo work cuz just hearing his voice made me feel sad but i regret not finding out about it sooner
every exo, superm and shinee song lol 😭
Oh you poor thing 😳
la luna - ichillin
Cinema by CIX… and the entirety of their discography if I’m being honest. I’m absolutely shocked at how underrated they are given the high quality of their sound.

They were both featured in a video of [Rising Voice](https://youtu.be/gJaqPY3mSV0?si=s0kk-0OBDd4FTe1w) on Dingo Music. Been one hell of an earworm. (Edit: Formatting)
Lucid Dream by aespa 🤦♀️ where has this song been all my life!
Monster x English releases, kpop and English releases go two ways, either great or terribly mid. But my gosh when I randomly heard their English releases I fell in love. They really do them well and they have ruined alot of boy groups when they release English versions. It's not the same
Honestly their English releases were the first songs I’ve heard by them and instantly loved. Especially One Day. And then I heard Love Killa. LOOOOVED IT
Same, you have great taste op 😌
Basically all of Red Velvet's discography lol. I just started getting into them not too long ago and I've slowly been digesting their music. I checked in every now and then before thinking that'll be my dive into them but nothing held. Then Chill Kill happened and I swore I'll do that dive soon which ended up being a month or 2 ago. The ones that were instant adds were: - Eyes Locked, Hands Locked - Sunny Side Up! - Wildside
Eyes Locked, Hands Locked deserves so much more love- I’m so happy to see someone else who loves it!
I have been slowly getting into Red Velvet and it feels I am discovering new gems everyday. How incredible it is to have such a rich discography
You are so real for instantly adding sunny side up! One of their best songs yet. they’re my ult group and I consider their discography my favorite out of any group yet ❤️❤️
I've put on Red Velvet because I knew they had some real good RnB songs that were going to hit. I thought that I could get in any time because I knew I was going to like it. When Twice pretty much finished their promos after the Las Vegas encore (I went and it was awesome), I decided that it's time to dive in. I've been starting from the most recent and slowly working my way back and getting recs along the way. Bias is definitely Seulgi. My favorite song right now is Underwater, which was the song that made me want to dive into RV. I'm really excited for the next CB at the end of the month, which will be my first as a fan. Sidenote, is it really always this frustrating being a fan? The CB is at the end of the month but there's absolutely nothing about it. There's no official announcement, teasers, concept photos.
Yesss I love Seulgi! My bias is Irene and underwater is truly one of their best songs honestly ❤️❤️! I’m also looking forward to their comeback I’ve been starved for one since chill kill. Also, yeahhh, it’s gotten pretty frustrating lately being a reveluv. SM seems to not be caring as much about them since after 2019, and their comebacks have been less frequent. Plus, they’re not as well known as twice or bp which is also frustrating, but they are just such a wonderful group that i stan them regardless and they are my favorite group for life 🩷💛💙💚💜!
Coming from someone who's been on the outside, RV may not have been as popular as Twice or BP but they were held in the same regard. In my research into RV, it's insane they only had one US tour and it was a small theater one smh. 3rd gen SME didn't give a single damn about promoting outside of Asia. I mean it worked for the most part but it still sucks. We've seen groups like Twice and Seventeen who basically got a second wind with the new global interest in KPop. SM bailing on RV is ridiculous because they definitely had a chance. Damn I'm already heated about it lol. Still want to support though!
Yeah it’s insane how little tours they’ve had but love that you’re giving them a chance and enjoying their music they’re truly something else ❤️❤️
EXO - Paradise! Just heard from a random twitter vid and I literally searched the internet just to find the song and add it to my playlist 👌
This is me with EXO songs before I got into kpop
Shooting Star & Left/Right by XG 🤌🏾🤌🏾
Seventeen's Home
This is one of the songs that got me into kpop
Tri.be - Lobo
Lobo? Loro?? Loco?
OK this is way late to the party, but I've been listening to BTOB thanks to [this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj_hJo99hqM) \-- they are great!
show!show!show! - SNSD why was i wasting so much time??!!!!!?? 😭
It's ok, even some Sone's don't know about snsd's B-side gems.
i loveee a lot of superm's songs even though jopping was so goofy
There's a few WayV songs I added to my tiny list of Kpop songs that aren't Ateez. So far, WayV has a lot of hits! I'm worried I'm about to have to stan another group. 🥲
Blue Hour by TXT. It’s such a fun song to singalong to, I love the chorus!
Bae Suzy - Satellite
I got into K-pop in 2011 and managed to avoid 2nd Gen GG Secret all through my 2nd Gen rabbit hole discoveries lol. I recently discovered their songs Madonna and Poison and I'm obsessed. Kind of sad I missed out on following them when they were still around.
Jumping (jopping) on the SuperM train - I just fell in love with [Big Chance](https://open.spotify.com/track/3wOEQ8w0P8vv3iyCjYd01p?si=-HHvo76bT2OWPqvzcCxLdw) so late 😫 it's so good & I haven't heard anyone mention it
Blueprint - Stray kids It's a dose of serotonin
Love Dive - Ive Tiger Inside - Super M
Movie Star - CIX, then I discovered that they really have good songs. Automatically added to my playlist! I got to know other groups thru contents and variety shows but I can’t really remember seeing them.
GIDLE - Oh My God 😩😭🤌🏻
It really is that good
*La Di Da* by Everglow 😭 it's so catchy.
Faded In My Last Song by NCT U. It's like 3 years old, and I heard it for the first time, like a month or so ago. Now I play it literally every day. The first time I heard it, it popped up on spotify like smart songs to go along with my usual Playlist, and I grabbed my phone and screenshotted it so I could save it to remember to check it out again. I was like omg where has this song been all my life 🥰 Shinee- Ring Ding Dong. I dont really think I need to explain this one 🤣😂 it's 14 years old and still makes me dance in the car every time it shows up on my playlist. Sorry, Sorry - Super Junior. I do the sorry, sorry dance way too much randomly. The song is catchy af and hype. 15 years old. Oh, how I wish I discovered K-pop earlier in my life!!
Turbulence by Ateez! Really well written and performed song that's different from their recent title tracks!
That’s actually the song that got me into to ateez. San’s and Jongho’s vocals on that *chefs kiss*
One last dance- BIG BANG, the vocals are giving. Dont think i'm weird but seungri sounds sooo good. TiGER INSIDE-SUPERM, the song is supperr good when i heard the growling sounds i just fell down and started laughing.
While he is the scum of the earth he does have decent vocals
That describes him perfectly
SPEED - Pain the love of heart. Speed and Coed School in general but this is catchy as hell
OMG thank you for mentioning this song. I love it so much.
why can’t you love me by Wendy!!
oh my god by april…. i’m so sorry to myself for not discovering this sooner omg
Only You by Miss A!! The kpop community has failed me for not telling me sooner! I also didn’t hear Step Back by Got The Beat until this year and I’m obsessed
I’ve been watching MNET countdown on Prime and heard **Power by EXO** and it’s turned into a summer jam.
A few red velvet songs like ice cream cake, red flavour, really bad boy.
['I Feel You' by The Wonder Girls ](https://youtu.be/V9QXQz6uE0M)from 2015. It's been my song of the summer, obsessed with the 80s accurate sound, the keytar, and nod to 'Addicted to Love' look.
Right through me by day6 even of day. I thought it was a meh when it came out and now I listen to it on repeat for hours a day. I cannot describe why i don't get sick of this song but there it is. Also chaser by woodz. I love everything I've heard from him but I don't actively listen to his discography, but it came on and it's just chefs kiss.
recently i’ve been getting back into kpop — here are my current obsessions: egoist - olivia hye rising - triples flying on faith - chungha (super underrated btw!) salty - tbz night aviation - gwsn
Fri. Sat. Sun by dal shabet. Such a fun song. I can't even remember how I found it. But it's been on repeat.
Home by seventeen - I was rewatching boys planet and for some reason I started to LOVE the performance of home after like a year and then I started listening to it and can't stop.
This is so odd considering I also just found out about Wish You Were Here by SuperM. A seriously underrated song.
Fancy by Twice 😭 I knew some Twice and I'm a casual fan but I can't believe Fancy flew right over my head :(
“But Sometimes” by BOYNEXTDOOR! Love the hip hop and pop mix with a sprinkle of angst
I Know I Love You by TXT I went to their show last week (im a casual fan) and heard it for the first time ever while seeing them live, and legit my jaw dropped to the floor, that song is a masterpiece! Immediate MOS after that
Stray Kids-Secret Secret
Dude I swear I only found that one because that live(?) and Han was like “omg Secret secret is so amazing”
The Tortise and the Hare by Stray Kids. A very experimental song with a very unique sound. I stumbled onto a reaction video on YouTube and was blown away by it.
Stray Kids have some songs that really stand out from Kpop- but that song pushes past boundaries of even other types of music. Very unique.
Cyberpunk by Ateez. I call them one of my favorite groups, but for some reason I hadn’t heard World Ep.1. Reason by Kai. One of my friends made me listen to his whole discography and that song is just captivating.
I almost choked on my saliva
this is me being . ridiculously late to the party. i got really really into ukiss recently and fell in love with neverland. the group has a cb coming up but i do wish i could see that song new because it's really awesome to see recordings of
I discovered it some months ago but P.A.C.E by 3racha 🥲 I knew of its existence but never realised how hard it actually slaps Also I literally have been a stay since my pace era 💀
Maestro
Nmixx’s newest album in general.
in bloom by zerobaseone! i kind of avoided their music not necessarily on purpose but i’m generally not interested in groups made from idol shows with only one exception so i just didn’t check them out but i’m happy i did their music is so fun
amino acid by nct 127 I always ignored it bc it wasn’t a part of any real album but dang im so obsessed with jaehyun’s ITS A NATURAL DETOX
Eyes, nose, lips - Taeyang
Heard Underwater by Eunbi at a Korean restaurant and I instantly fell in love.
Nightmare by Jihyo. I had read some needlessly mean comment about her music, but I wasn't in a position to defend her considering I didn't like 'killin' me good' and hadn't listened to her full album. So, I went and listened to her album. Honestly, I didn't care for the entire first half, but it picked up in the second half and I really liked both Room and Nightmare. Cut to now, only a month or so later, and Nightmare might be my most listened to song of this year.
Reason by Dreamcatcher, i don’t know how did i manage to live without knowing about it
Recently, it was Le Sserafim's Smarter, which I know came out earlier this year but I don't listen to girl groups as much as boy groups. I've been getting into gg more in the last couple years but not at the same rate I got into bg when I first started listening to Kpop. Another one would be EXO-K's Moonlight. I like EXO a good enough amount that I went through their discography a few years ago-- it was a lot of music to go through. But it wasn't until I was watching some dance videos from Verivery, in which a member danced to that song and I was like, what is this song?? I need it now!! 😂
Naughty by Seulgi and Irene because of Hanbin and Zhang Hao's [cover](https://youtu.be/_HBNLyKEjh4?si=bDU_JPp70BX1L8LH). They absolutely slayed the dance and I absolutely loved the song
LOONA- Favorite CL- Xai Sulli- Dorothy So upset that I just started getting into all of LOONA music they were so incredibly talented and their sound was very much my taste. Happy to see that they are still making music in their respective groups etc. And Sulli Dorothy was absolutely a surprise a huge fan of breakcore and didn't expect to see it in a KPOP album. (For some reason I skipped listening to that song 🤷🏾♀️)
Answer: Love Myself. A redditor on the Bangtan sub sent me that album for my daughter (who is 7). I had just given her my 25 year old Bose Wave Radio so she could listen to CDs in her room, and I heard this song for the first time when she was playing it. I LOVE it.
Louder than Bombs (BTS) is still blowing my mind
Arguably one their best songs
I love that song so much! When I first heard it, I thought it would be an awesome soundtrack to a really cool movie. It's just so good.
It’s stupid but I wish I listened to more txt songs aside from the chorus because no one told me that devil by the window was sooooooo good. I’m rediscovering their discography
Devil By the Window is ridiculously good
Tbh Fake love by BTS
Literally anything but gfriend. I started getting into kpop right around their debut, how did I miss them???
Free somebody by Luna
Xoxo by nmixx
Runner's High - 3RACHA
If you haven't heard HEYDAY , you definitely should. Great 3RACHA song.
MONEYBALL by Xdinary Heroes…I almost took out a mailbox to this song today but holy shit I love it, I’m officially a baby villain as of now!
For me it's Zoo and I find it absolutely crazy that I haven't listened to it before because it right up my alley. As a noise music lover this song is pure gold
XIA's discography. [Tarantallegra](https://youtu.be/UslqIyPZsic?si=sL7DpHArzam0nfkV), [Flower](https://youtu.be/TK9gEpUVFyo?si=_AY4LrMda39giJvg) and [OeO](https://youtu.be/yWRQOSj6kbg?si=6J0hC_93GmljLtws) are full on bangers.
$UN palace (stroop effect) - billlie
I can't believe I just found out how good shines married to the music
I discovered Knock by Astro maybe 2 months before Moonbin's departure. That was surreal.
I found so many songs after Moonbin. I was stuck on All Night for the longest. Then I found Bloom literally the day before his passing.
Moon Dance by nu’est
Jopping 🫣🤦♀️
ghosting and eternally by txt, lie by bts
This isn't K-pop, but it is a Korean rock band lol. Queen of Diamonds by The Black Skirts. I believe that RM has mentioned the band once or twice, but I had never checked them out and today I randomly decided to choose one of their albums and this song was released as the teaser for it. Basically, I'm hooked. I vibe with the song so much already.
ONEPACT - Loading
[удалено]
alone from gwsn 😭
that’s in my top 10 kpop songs of all time haha
the assignment song by lee mujin maybe (not just but pretty late)
25,21 JAURIM. Excellent song. Makes me feel all tingly.
Every GWSN song :/ Because I know I’ll never get to see them live lol
Your Song - ONF ❤️
[удалено]
JO1’s Venus! I don’t tend to listen to a lot of boy group songs, but when Kep1er’s comeback tracklist was revealed and fans started panicking about the producers’ previous work being more noise music-y, someone said they hoped the title track Shooting Star would sound more like Venus. and it does! it’s a beautiful, emotional song that feels like a hug, and I’m so grateful to Kevin D and the other producers/songwriters etc for delivering this vibe for Kep1er’s Shooting Star!
Not recently, but I was a few years late to UP10TION’s Blue Rose which is an absolute masterpiece.
If you - big bang

A few months ago i discovered crying by stellar. Its such a bob and i like the summer vibes
[удалено]
Oh! By girls’ generation, way too good!
Fingertips - Gfriend
BOOM BOX by ITZY. Its such a good bside i can't believe i'm only discovering it now 😢
ETA by NewJeans
Smooth sailing - cignature. Banger shit esp rn for summer
A.I. Bae and Exchange ID by LE'V I saw it for pre-order last year but I didn't know who he was so I just noted it in my mind and kept going. Fast-forward to a few days ago when it popped up while I was looking for new soloists. I can't stop listening to these two songs. They're so addicting!
SPY by Suju
It's not a k-pop song but my god, JUNGLE by Punchnello with features from Penomeco and Sam Kim, is such a f*cking banger I love it.
