I haven't dug into their JP singles yet so can't speak on Cookie Jar, but out of their Korean singles atm my favourite is either Peek-a-Boo, Automatic, Russian Roulette or their cover of SES' Be Natural.

Also Zimzalabim owns and it is incredibly obvious the producers were inspired by I Got a Boy.


Depends. Some of SNSD's best songs are their Japanese singles. SM's Japanese work for their groups is usually top notch in general tbh.

Like Paparazzi loving slaps forever

I first really didn't like it and thought it was all over the place. But I've been warming up to the song now. Kinda feels like Yeji took a bit of a backstep kinda vocally

I know the group and song are kinda' memes and all, but does anyone have recommendations similar to Pop/Stars by K/DA? I know and like (G)I-DLE, which obviously scratches an itch due to the shared artists between both projects, but was looking for stuff beyond them. Anything with an EDM influence and a giant, catchy chorus.

I got you

This is lowkey maybe my favourite 8 member SNSD song (this or Lion Heart anyway). It sounds a lot more like their JP stuff and has some of their hardest choreo. I like the Korean version more than the JP one, but there's a leaked version of most of the JP M/V with Jessica which is a blessing that makes me sad.

Luna's solo album might scratch the itch, too. This song is so loving good.

Hyoyeon's solo career is turning more EDM focused lately as well, she's been doing a lot of work as a DJ these days. The earlier solos released as Hyoyeon have less of that vibe, but everything released as HYO is more of what you might be looking for.

Her latest slaps hard, and as a bonus for you has Soyeon in it!

Honestly I'd recommend looking up some of Hyoyeon's DJ sets to anybody interested, there's some good poo poo. Especially when she remixes SNSD tracks. The Gee one always delights me.

God I'm so excited!

There's some drama surrounding Irene from RV going around - sounds like she was verbally abusive to a photo editor. She and SM have put out apologies. The post that made the allegations was 'liked' by a bunch of people that have worked with RV in the past so people are speculating that this isn't an isolated occurrence. Apparently it's all over social media in SK.

I was pretty into Tag Me even though it appears to be taking parts from a different song the producers had made. But it was solid as hell, the first mini was enjoyable too. The second mini, not really vibing with it. I guess I really was into the pop punk vibes of tag me and it’s just missing on the second mini’s songs imo

Once Mina opened up with what was happening behind the scenes in some very graphic posts (with pictures of her slit wrists too boot), Jimin actually had the audacity to say that it was all "fiction"

This led to even Youkyungthe former AOA drummer to open up about her issues with AOA and the management company FNC as well.

Then you can even look into their past like when Chanmi ran away from the group and a lot of things start to make sense.

JYPE seems to have been trying their best to avoid another Suzy situation when it comes to Twice and only ever pushes them as a group, though this late in their career I would like to see the girls start doing their own things as well. You may count it as a RIP (which if it were a RIP, SNSD would have stopped promoting as a group years before they actually did decide to take a break-- most of them had busy as gently caress solo work even during the group's heyday), but the fact that all nine members of SNSD are still very relevant and happily doing what they want into their thirties is a fate not many idols get, especially female ones. It would be nice to see Twice start establishing careers outside the group so they can be as lucky.

Besides, they're still a group despite only 5 of them remaining at SM, and will almost definitely have an OT8 comeback for their 15th at the latest. It's not like they parted on bad terms.

Yeah I should revise what I mean as a RIP. I guess musically. Out of all the SNSD members, the ones who have put out stuff that was good are just Taeyeon and Hyoyeon. I was into the first solo efforts from Tiffany and Seoulhyun, but post SM I think Tiffany just released very subpar-mid material. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

The whole EP absolutely rips. Where Is Love is much more of an upbeat bop than I was expecting, with like, just a tinge of retro sensibility. I'm having a hard time identifying anything like a clear standout, so it's a really consistent level of quality from end to end.

Yeah the whole EP rips. Not one skip on that one.

All the chart stuff just seems like the benefit of releasing early in the year before other big groups are releasing, perfect time for a group that's getting more popular and people wanting new stuff to listen to. It's a much better time to release music than for eg: Loona releasing during Blackpink promotions last year and then crossing over into the Twice comeback

I'm just too old to follow the LOONA stuff since they have so many sub units and stuff that its hard to keep track and I'm already keeping track of so much other stuff. If the music is good I'll get to it eventually or someone will let me know
