I have a confession, I actually unironically like the macaroni cheese song by young posse. I watched a video of the american director of the MV talking about the job and the cheese tunnel for the splash mountain scene was made out of actual cheese and milk :eyepop:

I hope these solo songs are longer on the album, especially Ryujin's "Run Away". I find these much better than "Born to Be"

If Itzy's concept were more consistently like these tracks, I'd listen to them way more.

Itzy's full discography is wildly varied in a good way. If you haven't been through it it's worth it.


I forgot Onew's Circle came out this year and feel like its deserving of a mention for being pretty incredible and something very out of the normal kpop realm.

I have. I do like more of their Japanese catalog than anything else, but I really love those solo tracks.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

People are forgetting it because she’s not around and they dropped it a month ago but I think lia’s solo track is possibly my favorite Itzy track and a very rare pop song where the lyrics genuinely moved me. It’s very honest about her anxiety and exhaustion and not written from a sappy/overly inspirational place.

Yeah it's great. Can't wait for the full version of that one.

I'm glad Ryujin did a rock sound for her solo. She said at their concert that Nobody Like You was her favorite Itzy song (mine too, which is why I remembered that), which is their most straight pop rock track. She suits that style really well.


Speaking of good ballads, this solo track from TripleS is one of the most interesting songs of the year. Production is incredible and the composition is weird in the best way.

Concert was awesome but drat I have mad respect for their fitness after it, stadium felt like 35 celsius and like 80% humidity with the roof closed and no air con.

I really liked Jeongyeon's solo, hadn't seen that before. Jihyo's energy is next level, just looks like she could perform forever even when it's insanely hot.

Links to all the MBC Gayodejejeon performances. Lots of great stages and covers in there, especially the Yoasobi one with like 8 groups on stage with them

\/ ah right I had a tab open with it on youtube and assumed it was on that list.

Japanese companies like the NHK and their tendency to release shortened clips for decades are still dumb.

That had to be a surreal moment for Yoasobi. Performing Idol with a bunch of idols performing choreo for it.

I really like this. I think some of the mixing is too forward on the bubbly sounds but the song as a whole is great. Also this coming out right after watching El Conde on Netflix is causing some weird cognitive dissonance lol

I like this song more than I expected to after listening/watching it. I'm not sure why exactly, nothing leaves a real strong impression but my overall impression of it is higher than I felt during it? I feel like that makes no sense, haha.

The first is to be born in Joseon.
if any of you have a VR headset (actually might be Quest-only), Venta X is a kind of cool experience.

https://www.venta-x.com/index.html?inLANG=EN#home

It's just songs in VR with the camera right up on the stage, but it's all nicely shot. Watched a few now and it varies from dance to dance but some of them really get in your face and play with depth in cool ways.
