R&B focused this time. Not really my style of music but nothing in it I found annoying or hard on the ears.


The apink song was pretty good, their stuff usually falls solidly into the "not for me but well made" category. This felt like a solid blend of their old stylings with a new/modern aspect, and while its not a song that I was blown away by its definitely a song I enjoyed and wouldn't mind occasionally listeneing to.

A lot brighter than I was expecting, but she's always done a good job of not sticking too hard to a narrow "sound". I don't think she's put out something I disliked yet. Working my way through some of the b-sides and they're good as well.

I liked the intro, and though its more into a bubblegum pop sound its not bad. Not something I'll make an effort to listen to but not something that I dislike or find annoying.

I never got around to checking their b-sides because their release was so-so, but blue flame is a really good track. Not a title track, but its got good lines and a solid groove thing going on.

Dang that sucks. The original artist even defended him against the whole thing. Hopefully KBS come up with a similar show.

The new Itzy single suffers from the general tiktok-ification of trying really hard to have a chorus that can go viral with a challenge. I actually like the song, especially the bridge. But I don’t know there’s something to the chorus that just feels so out of place. I also don’t really like the playground melody that’s in high pitch from I think Chaeryong? I hate when they add this stuff to kpop tracks for the most part.

if it had a second half to the chorus that built a little more it might be my favorite title track. Still really like it though. Racer and Domino are stand out b-sides though.

Half way through the year here's my favorite songs so far:

NMIXX - O.O
Twice - Just Be Yourself/Celebrate
Nayeon - All or Nothing
Idle - Never Stop Me/My Bag
Dreamcatcher's album but especially Starlight and No Dot
Itzy - Voltage/Weapon/Domino
Pixy - Villain/Deja Vu
Loona - Pale Blue Dot
RV - Wildside
Stayc - Young Luv/Run2U
Aespa - Girls/Illusion
Yuri - Rolla Skate
Yena - Lxxk 2 U
Viviz - Loveade
Cherry Bullet - Love in Space
Whee In - Pastel/D-day
Onew - Dice
Purple Kiss - memem
Fromis 9 - DM
Taeyeon's album

KBS has a long history of running shows like this with beloved musicians, so I'm sure there will be another one after Sketchbook.

If IU wasn't so booked and blessed, I would love if they took her Palette webshow and just turned that into a program.

Lol they definitely saw how smooth they transitioned to a 5 member group while promoting and probably decided to cut their losses short on this one.

Man the bullying stuff is crazy though in general. That girl was only 16, like she’s still a kid and kids do stupid poo poo. But watching how it went down with Soojin, it’s like a serious loving thing.

Yea its legit insane. I think Soojin's stuff was when she was around that same age range? Kids definitely do stupid poo poo and change a lot. I think the whole thing is dumb, but at a minimum instead of running them out of the industry they should just have them do anti-bullying poo poo or something. Basically something to try to help the problem (that they're essentially now also victims of).
