Let’s make a Chinese + southeast Asian group (day 6)

╔══════════════╗ Hey Everyone, I hope you all had a good week. My Week was pretty good, with a lot of excellent tunes 1that helped move it forward. Before we hop into the episode, I want to let you know that tomorrow, August 24th, I will finally tell you what my summer anthem and summer album were for 2025’s summer. Another thing I’m not going to be doing on today’s episode is reviewing Like 1 by Twice because I’ll be doing an album review of Enemy next week. Now let’s jump into the music and see what the artists delivered this week. ╚══════════════╝ https://preview.redd.it/evukzoyl0tkf1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2245e243dab579cfdb771c6f0b881552cf864264 Best of the Week :August 18th & August 20th From JOY, with Love - The 1st Mini Album - Joy/laundri - Moon Byul This week was hard to decide as two artists took over my week. Joy was the first artist with her 1st mini album that kept pulling me back. Love Splash is the title track and one I enjoy, but I still find that Get Up and Dance should’ve been the title track. La Vie En Bleu has this Paris vibe that fits wonderfully with the vocals from Joy. The second artist is Moon Byul, who takes over my week with an album that hits as hard as the Joy Record. " Goodbyes and Sad Eyes" is the title track, and although I find the pop-rock vibe generic, as we’ve heard it before. I still enjoy what Moon byul brings to the table with this tune. Da Capo has this melody that reminds me of Legend of Zelda, which keeps me coming back for more. Drip is where Moon byul goes for a boy group sound that fits her perfectly. It was hard to pick which album would take over my week, but I’m glad Joy and Moon Byul both delivered albums that kept pulling me back for more. https://preview.redd.it/td7qbzdu0tkf1.jpg?width=686&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c6a5dbc0e2747b2d7f2d5f8cd7729c8a4b8aacd9 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Other Korean Releases of the Week: August 20th Dancing Alone (90s Ver.) - KiiiKiii This week, KiiiKiii released a little bit of remixes for their song Dancing Alone, and I decided to talk about the 90s version. The 90s version brings in some synths that blend wonderfully with the vocals. I love how smooth the hook is, as it’s pulled me back for more. I do still like the original version of the song more, but the '90s version might be the best of their version of the track. I still will be coming back to this version from time to time. https://preview.redd.it/33v9oi9b1tkf1.jpg?width=1260&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f54a1adbdf79ee80703fc717355b7a1c7e18fab6 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Teenage Blue - Hi-Fi Unicorn Hi-Fi Unicorn is back with a new single album delivering three new tracks. Teenage Blue opens up the single with a fast-paced instrumental. The guitars and percussion fit perfectly together, crafting the overall melody. The vocals fit this rock sound wonderfully, as I’ve been listening to a lot this week. Cotton Candy i the first B-side on the single, which opens up with some synths that help blend with the guitars and percussion. I love the hook as it’s bouncy, and the vocals slay that section. The final song on the single is Backyard High-Five which brings in an acoustic-rock vibe mixed with their usual rock sound. The smooth vocals blend with the instrumental that will have you tapping along. This overall single album from Hi-Fi Unicorn i one that I’ll be having on repeat for a while because the songs are well-crafted and the vocals help elevate the music. https://preview.redd.it/7rj3m0qh1tkf1.jpg?width=2500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=290f3165e4f56c9665c59aae764003f60961e028 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Weekly Lastfm Roundup (August 15th - August 20th) Artist: Twice https://preview.redd.it/xjru013o1tkf1.jpg?width=696&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f38193a153de928c627107f3231b614ba97d92cc ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Album: What Have We Done - pH-1 https://preview.redd.it/4iitgako1tkf1.jpg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=392d54de563a9e6e7035ddbdd0794c161d02cac2 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Song: Like 1 - Twice https://preview.redd.it/w1hl9hzo1tkf1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=97ff6b254aeab0a9c78ce8e44c3269543540eee3 submitted by /u/Maltifandom23 [link] [comments]

its so creepy that theres a whole subreddit dedicated to posting clips of barely legal idols dancing and commenting on their bodies. Like I get it, gooners have existed since the beginning of time and theyre not going anywhere, but its so fucking weird to see leeseo and eunchae on there. like I know they’re 18, but it still feels like they’re children :( idek i just feel gross that so many kpop fans are so upfront about their fantasies about these idols. like can you at least not post about it on a public platform where the idols could potentially stumble upon the post? submitted by /u/Character_Record_176 [link] [comments]

I just made a new sub called r/Kpop_Censored. It‘s supposed to be a sub where we censor and report every post you make :) Or maybe it‘s the exact opposite…👀 submitted by /u/Difficult_Win_2534 [link] [comments]

So I love kpop, and I’ve heard a lot of people in kpop fandoms are trying to make people feel like they are koreaboo’s and I just wanted to ask like. Does wanting to move there EVEN BEFORE I knew what kpop was because I find serenity there. Peace and comfort and many opportunities not because of kpop me wanting to move there has never been about kpop or the idols. I feel like my soul yearns to be there, not for any reason of kpop. But whenever I try and make new kpop friends they always just jump the gun and assume I want to move to Seoul to “stalk” idols when that’s never been the case. submitted by /u/Silly_Ranger3783 [link] [comments]

Processing img x9aqr8nzfskf1... I found him through GD's no laughing party, but turns out Yijin is quite popular in South korea appearing on Car the garden, Kiu (the hairstyler) YT channels and Seventeen's Seungkwan keeps liking his reels. Tbh he seems like mini Sunoo(enhypen) to me. So how did he became famous? submitted by /u/WindowDirect7966 [link] [comments]

i know the other girl not manon but they look alike in a way submitted by /u/CommitteeLoud8060 [link] [comments]

And all of their songs on Spotify US too (except 0801)! I think they have a good chance to debut multiple songs on Billboard US 100 next week (depending if they can maintain good streams throughout the week) but this is an exciting time for SKZ! They managed to move into top 10 Spotify Artist! Did not manage to break the KDH strong grip but 15.01 million streams for their first day for KARMA album is not a bad day indeed! I saw that JYPE is releasing remixes so this is their effort to push Ceremony higher and we shall see if this effort will be a success or not. I know it is only one day of the release but I am excited nonetless! It is a fitting closure to DominATE tour and a preview of their likely-encore concert/s ahead to really properly end an era (DominATE era). submitted by /u/Many-Ad-9007 [link] [comments]

I think for 5th gen people are always paying attention to their debut but when they make their first comeback everyone is suddenly silent, I can name a few groups who unfortunately suffered from it, xikers,cosmosy,say my name, theres more but tbh I'm too lazy to type 😭 submitted by /u/hearts4him_ [link] [comments]

Like references to other songs or like things about the group. Cuz my ults tripleS and Billlie do tripleS firework diary's ending chorus is filled with references, with "you're my signal", "whole 24" and "wav" which is the fandom name. They also have 24 which references their songs New Look, Rising, Invincible, Dimension, deja vu, Cherry Talk, Generation and Just do it. With billlie, its BTTB with lyrics "belllie've" which is the fandom name, references to their songs Flipping a Coin, brave, Ring X Ring, Snowy Night, Ring ma bell, GingaMingaYo, EUNOIA, BYOB, The soul saviour, flowerld, Lion heart, moon palace, Sun palace and nevertheless. There is also a lyric "nine nine nine 다음, were seven now" which references sheon's time on gp999 and how they are 7 now. Share your thoughts and what songs you like that referance the groups other songs. submitted by /u/DdeonghwaDib [link] [comments]

I would like to say hearts3hearts bit honestly with the way sm treats their groups after like the 7 year contract I fear they will end up like red velvet... But I think illit, xikers or TWS might actually survive, they are able to maintain their fanbase and yes ik xikers isn't that popular but they are at the point where I think they can maintain their fanbase and they aren't really loosing or gaining popularity but I feel like groups like illit xikers and TWS have that longevity in them, ik there's other groups but idk yet submitted by /u/hearts4him_ [link] [comments]
