Let’s make a Chinese + southeast Asian group (day 8)

This is a bit of a random post lol, but recently I’ve been spending more time on Reddit and so I’ve been exposed to a lot more “please recommend me songs like [xyz]” type posts on here. It made me realise that, when it comes to my favourite group (TXT), I feel like a professional in recommending their songs because I know their discography so well. As long as OP provides one or two songs that are their taste, I generally know exactly what kind of songs from my favourite group they will enjoy - makes me think if there was a degree in their discography I could get a masters in it y’know. I was just wondering if anyone else felt the same way about their favourite groups! And if anyone mentally groups their fave’s discography by genre when they see these posts (like TXT would have cute/happy songs, rock vibe songs, sensual songs, etc). submitted by /u/Successful_Key8662 [link] [comments]

Who are your top 5 favorite groups or artists? Right now, for me: NMIXX IVE ITZY Le Sserafim Twice NMIXX is the new top tier for me. Every title track has been a banger, and I'm always most excited for their releases. Their Tiny Desk performance is probably my favorite KPOP performance ever. IVE just never misses. Their live vocals have gotten so good, too! Specifically Gaeul and Wonyoung have improved so much, and live vocals are a big selling point for me. Their First Take performances are so much fun. ITZY has shot up ever since the Mr Vampire release. They were unranked completely last year, and now they're third. Honestly, they could be ults, if not for Sneakers and Cake being hard skips. I was cool on LeSserafim early on, as I thought Fearless was a bit to soft for all of the hype they were building. But I fell in love with Blue Flame, and eventually came around on Antifragile and Unforgiven. Eventually, they Stockholm Syndromed me into loving their music. I'm actually gonna go see them in a few days. I don't know how this happened Because of Dreamcatcher disbanding, Twice hangs on to 5th. Idle would have taken this spot, but the Twice Enemy drop gave me that DC vibe I've been missing, so they're hanging on. The Miyeon Dance alone almost switched it up. I think I just miss old Idle, with their darker tone, and Soojin :( Rip Dreamcatcher, tho. :( submitted by /u/Juunlar [link] [comments]

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Hey everyone, today Starship Girl group IVE returns with a new min album. IVE opened up the year with IVE Empethy an album that is hard to beat cause it's been one of my favorite albums of 2025. I've been waiting for another excellent project from the group. I'm glad the group is back cause I've been obsessed with them this year. Now, let's jump into this album and see what the artist delivered. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ https://preview.redd.it/nrnwung6i7lf1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26ac0bb2f8b1381a7529af3eaa0fb62d2052fd40 IVE Secret - IVE XOXZ The title track opens up the project with some thumping bass that blends perfectly with the smooth vocals the member's deliver to the table. I love the pre-chorus as it moves into the hook wonderfully. I do still see the hook growing on me the more times I've listened to this tune. The thumping bass might be one of my favorite things, as it's been pulling me back for more. The group's overall performance has helped elevate this tune as it grows on me. XOXZ is a strong opener for the project and one that I've been enjoying a lot today. https://preview.redd.it/gn4f1skdi7lf1.jpg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c6ff4462385708c4643d1ac06140d090be49b7f »»————- ★ ————-«« Wild Bird Synths and drum machines open up the track with effects that you can hear on the drums. The smooth vocals are blending well with the instrumental. The pre-chorus, when they say girls, is one of my favorite moments before they move into the thumping hook that has been stuck in my head a lot today. The smooth performance helps elevate this tune as I've been listening to it a lot today. The bridge is a section I wish they had stripped down fully before transitioning back into the hook, but I still like that section. Wild Bird is another excellent tune, as it does a good job following after the title track. https://preview.redd.it/lty682rfi7lf1.jpg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6502e622c1607728c78e216b184bbacab705ba4f »»————- ★ ————-«« 3. Dear My Feelings IVE goes for a funky-pop tune that hit hard with the catchy melody. The vocals fit perfectly with a funky beat, which is something I enjoy hearing from IVE. The thumping pre-chorus moves terifficly into the hook that has been stuck in my head all day. The guitars add to the overall vibe fitting the sweet vocal deliveries the member provided. The bridge is another section I've been enjoying a lot as the vocals sound fantastic during that section. I'm excited to have this funky-pop song on repeat for a long time. https://preview.redd.it/tl3ml22ii7lf1.jpg?width=1271&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=11015833d89d8cccbd434c152af334ae403d92df »»————- ★ ————-«« GOTCHA (Baddest Eros) As we move into the fourth song on the album, it feels like the group brought in some attitude with a dark vibe. The slick electronic beat brings in a dark vibe that blends with the smooth vocal tones. The hook is slowly growing on me, but felt like it could've been a little better. The verses are slick as the instrumental has a lot of effects on it. I'm not the biggest fan of GOTCHA (Baddest Eros), but I see it growing on me over the week as I listen to it more, which I will be doing. https://preview.redd.it/pe081kpki7lf1.jpg?width=282&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93161fcf6480c3f462c10239c4dfbab840dcb9a1 »»————- ★ ————-«« ♡Beats (삐삑) The fifth track on the project brings in a trap vibe that is slick and smooth, fitting the vocal deliveries perfectly. It didn't take me long to fall in love with this tune from top to bottom. The hook is a little bit funky during the pre-chorus before the trap vibe comes back. We do get a little rapping in the secton verse which adds to the overall direction the instrumental is going. One thing that surprised me was the switch-up during the bridge before the trap vibe returned; I wasn't expecting that moment. This track is becoming one of my favorites. https://preview.redd.it/vf8kbx5oi7lf1.jpg?width=610&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e6dbf3df3d6a6796094c8d4f3f1368bc81e54bc »»————- ★ ————-«« Midnight Kiss The closer of this album is perfect for a closer with some fantastic vocals over this smooth R&B tune. The smooth nature of the instrumental elevates the emotion from the member's beautiful vocal deliveries. The hook has been pulling me back a lot today as I can't get it out of my head. I love how vibey this tune is, from the vocals to the instrumental. During the bridge, I wish they stripped the beat down before bringing the hook back in, hitting hard then before. I still love everything that this track brought to the table, and it's one fantastic closer for this album. https://preview.redd.it/0xjwxrhqi7lf1.jpg?width=299&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=37c0da7ac33fac2c779a32613d107032bd8f2ea4 ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Summary: IVE is back with a new mini album that I'm enjoying a lot, but I will say IVE Empethy is a much better album. I still love what IVE Secret brought to the table, from the vocals to the instrumental. XOXZ opens up the album in a strong direction. Dear My Feelings is a funky-pop tune that keeps pulling me back as it keeps getting stuck in my head. Midnight Kiss is an excellent closer that has some gorgeous vocals from the group. I'm glad the group is back delivering new music for us to have on repeat. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ https://preview.redd.it/9ky4gkeri7lf1.jpg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=43f867bd5228ea8328aae3ef9078bf3fe3bdbc1d submitted by /u/Maltifandom23 [link] [comments]

Do you think Visual shouldn't be highlighted as a position? Do you think it's a necessary position or are you neutral about it? View Poll submitted by /u/Purple_Exit5906 [link] [comments]

Personally, idgaf if Enhypen keeps doing the cool vampire thing for a while, because they keep releasing banger after banger. As long as they keep up the quality i will eat it up. Same with VIXX and different variations of “dark” concepts (Chained Up, Voodoo Doll, Fantasy, etc all the way up to Amnesia). They slay every time. Pentagon could keep doing silly songs like Shine, Humph!, Naughty Boy, etc and I would not complain at all. submitted by /u/Lilac-Soul [link] [comments]

🥇SEVENTEEN - Vernon (14 upvotes) 🥈BLACKSWAN - Fatou (13 upvotes) 🥉NCT - Mark Lee (8 upvotes) Main Vocalist: NMIXX - Lily Main Dancer: KATSEYE - Daniela Main Rapper: SEVENTEEN - Vernon Rules: - top comment (by upvotes) after roughly 24 hours will be chosen - all gen is allowed - both male and female idols are allowed, but I will not enforce any forced co-ed - the K-pop idol must be from / has spent significant time growing up in an overseas, non-Asian country ("significant time" is defined by general consensus) - an overseas country is one that is not Asian (NOT Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Thailand, etc.) => examples of eligible countries include Canada, USA, Australia, NZ - try to upvote comments instead of commenting the same idol multiple times - have fun! submitted by /u/CynthiaRH142857 [link] [comments]

hi!! this is super random but i am a kpop fan and usually my biases in groups are the rappers or members with lower voices, especially in girl groups (i.e. dreamcatcher’s dami, i-dle’s yuqi ik she’s not really a rapper though). does anyone have song recommendations (or group recommendations) that rely heavily on the rap/lower register parts? submitted by /u/lettomorrowbee [link] [comments]

I recently made a list of the groups I like (I think I'm still missing a few) but I didn't realise how long it was... So I put it into sections. Anyone else like this? submitted by /u/DdeonghwaDib [link] [comments]

From what I'm getting from the general consensus, XOXZ did not meet expectations from both DIVEs and non-DIVEs. I agree with this. For the standard IVE set for themselves, this song feels like it falls short. However, I think this song gives me a lot of faith in the future of IVE. Rebel heart is my current song of the year and I don't see it being beat, it is an "either you get it or you don't" kind of song but still a masterpiece imo. IVE EMPATHY is also currently my album of the year. This is IVE's magnum opus. Finding out how to follow that was always going to be a hard task. What makes it even harder is Ryan Jhun, the man responsible for nearly all of IVE's biggest and best hits, stepping away from working with the group. As a DIVE, I think this was a good thing overall for the group as it was time for IVE to take on a new chapter in their career. Back to XOXZ, it definitely wasn't mine, and likely most peoples first choice for IVE to jump on a trap beat. However, I think it would have been much worse for the group's future for them to try and recreate and make another Ryan Jhun song. Even if that song would have been better, It would make me lose faith in the future of the group. Why would you want a group, and a still youngish group at that, to just attempt to recreate all their biggest songs from the time when they had a better producer? You are just solidifying the fact that you will never be as good as you once were by doing that. This is why I am happy XOXZ is what it is. The song also does have a lot of similarities to their old songs and Ryan Jhun's work, which is good as we are not leaving the old IVE behind, which we shouldn't. However, It is still distinctly different and not trying to hide that fact. Also, there was a growing concern among DIVES that due to the group's immense popularity with children, the group would start to only focus on making music entirely for kids. I think they found a great healthy balance with this song as it appeals to a wider audience as well! Let me know if coping haha but these are my honest thoughts. What do you think? submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

As of this moment I have: Jun, Jungwon, and Sunghoon, and I’m trying to decide between The8, Joshua, Jeonghan, Jay, Heeseung, and beomgyu, cause honestly all of Enhypen are so good looking, and I’ve recently become obsessed with Jeonghan and Joshua.😜👍 submitted by /u/Any_Compote_6624 [link] [comments]
