Not to be That Guy, because I realize it's incredibly unhelpful, but I'm pretty genre-agnostic. Seriously, if you go through my library, you'll find rock, pop, rap, metal, punk, r&b, j-pop, big band, country, classical, jazz, standards, industrial, latin, soundtracks, and on and on... and now k-pop.

I guess if there's any general preference, I like my music to have a little bit of an... edge? Or maybe some melodrama. I'm not much into ambient or drone, but it seems like that's not the sort of problem I'd run into exploring mainstream k-pop, so probably not useful info!

The other suggestions are great too but going to toss in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JczLd7TE2Q0

That whole album is also worth a quick look through because it's fantastic, especially if you're looking for edge (Hip and 4x4ever also in particular).

I didn't follow anything kpop/jpop for a long time but can relate to getting suckered in by Blackpink then moving through the current landscape before really locking into Mamamoo as my group of choice. Looking forward to more Everglow too though.

Just put Mr. Ambiguous or Decalcomanie on repeat until MAMAMOO seeps into your soul tbqh

Alternately, honestly just put their whole discography on shuffle because the entire collection is excellent and you will most certainly find something that resonates with you.

Memory and Melting are hands down their best albums tho imo.

A few of the music shows get streamed simultaneously on YouTube. SBS MTV The Show does, Music Bank I'm p sure does. And the ones that don't are hella easily found streamed elsewhere, there's a channel on twitch I use to watch all the others tbh.

Sweet! Was Queendom streamed/simulcasted when that was going on? Or did you have to wait for VODs on YouTube after? I was randomly recommended that Simply K-Pop livestream on my YT last night—guess the algorithm picked up that I was watching a bunch of live k-pop performances and was like HERE ENJOY THIS lmao.

There's plenty of competition shows that do get subbed and uploaded to like Viki or KOCOWA the next day, they have no Mnet programs that I can think of, though. I can't think of any Mnet program that has been officially localized in North America actually, lmao.

I think VIU gets Mnet programs, though. It's an Asian streaming service, but since there's plenty of countries where English is a predominant language that's often an option. I'm pretty sure that's where most of the sub scene will rip subs for shows like Queendom, though a lot of them are also fansubs. I pirate the poo poo that isn't made available on Viki/KOCOWA. Or just suck it up and deal with only being able to understand maybe half of what anybody is saying.

That said! VODs of performances almost always get uploaded the same day for music competition shows, so if you're not actively watching something like Queendom but just want to see the perfs, that poo poo is available asap.

Blackpink show thoughts

Good:

Performances were all great. Best the girls have sounded live IMO, especially Rose and Jisoo. The ballad was a highlight.

Solo songs were all really good. . Rose’s song is pretty solid if a bit unsurprising. Jennie’s new rap verse was cool. Lisa’s cover was great. Jisoo’s was my favorite.

Band. They killed as always and make the songs better flat out.

Stage production was insane. Ddu Du in particular was nuts.

Bad:

Streaming experience was mediocre. For the cost and YouTube’s infrastructure the video quality was bad and the audio was really compressed. Other companies free concerts were just as good or better in this respect.

The camerawork was generally ok but everything was really underexposed like it was on the late show appearance earlier this week. It’s a shame they put all that work in and it was so hard to see and appreciate.

It wasn’t a “live” concert, at least not fully. Some obvious cuts and prerecorded stuff but that’s a minor semantic gripe.

Overall I hope they put out a Blu-ray/cd because I’d love to have these tracks in high quality.

I think this is up to date?

quote:

M Countdown - Digital (streaming + downloads) (45%), album sales (15%), music video views (15%), Pre-voting (a sum of pre-votes on Mwave, Whosfan, Mnet and Mnet Japan) (15%), broadcast score (10%), live text voting (10%) (weekly 1st place chart nominees only)

Show champion - Digital (streaming + downloads) + Album sales (50%), Pre-voting (Idol Champ) (20%), broadcast score (20%), SNS (10%)

I feel like these show voting systems don't actually work because it's just the most dedicated fans streaming over and over or buying 30 copies of an album and lesser known boy groups just automatically have more chance than lesser known girl groups due to the power of teenage girls. Like it was cool when Loona got a win and I wish more groups could have that moment. No idea how to come up with a voting system to give more groups a chance though. The new single was the first Dreamcatcher song I've liked so lets hope there are lots of people like me
