SNSD's 2009-2010 run was devastating.


Jokes and all but I don't post that often, really. Your devices are mostly safe...


Again, Kim Lip's "Eclipse" is better than JinSoul's "Singing in the Rain." I'm not sure the competition is all that close either. It's perfectly in the pocket, like a more uptempo version of that lane Ladies' Code carved out with "Galaxy" and "The Rain." With more electro-pop, and less funk than LC.

Long ago when in jpop Hikki and Ayu were new (and I knew of them because I would hang in #segadojo with SolidSnakeX, who still posts here), the only way I could find their stuff was on P2P and there I also stumbled across SES Dreams Come True, and I liked Eugene and several of their songs, and through them found HOT and such.

However, I got into electronica then other stuff and didn't get back to kpop till Hyuna made her solo debut, which I randomly stumbled across on GAF, which led me to Invincible Youth which led to the rest. So I kinda missed the big debut times of WG/2PM, SNSD/SuJu, and Big Bang/2NE1, but not by much.

Honestly don't recall the exact song that got me into it. I remember hearing SNSD's Gee and just kinda seeing it as something different and weird and never gave it a real shot as to something I would listen to. I was listening to more J-Pop and J-Rock back then, which I had become accustomed to in my high school years. Big Bang then came along with "Lies" and then I must have started diving into their songs and MVs at that point. SHINee closely followed with "Replay" and they went on to be my favorite Male Group. It was not until later that I started really liking the Female Groups like f(x) and of course SNSD came around full circle after my first encounter with them.

Again - just have vague memories of the timeline. I may be missing the true reason I got into it. Regardless, once you K-Pop you can't stop. The rabbit hole goes deep.

Other early favorites.

RANIA - Style
After School - Flashback
Orange Caramel - Lipstick
miss A - Good Girl, Bad Girl
Dalshabet - Mr. Bang Bang
2PM - Hands Up
MBLAQ - Stay

Finally:
Legendary status: Kara - Lupin

Click to expand...

For me, it all started when I stumbled upon BTS's Dope MV and Orange Caramel's Catallena MV on Youtube. I was casually into it for a while, and kept finding new songs that I liked from tons of different artists, but I didn't start following it like I do now until I decided to watch BTS on an episode of Weekly Idol to see what the actual members were like. It was right around when Fire/Young Forever came out, I believe. I started following all of their activities, and shortly after that started to keep track of releases from other artists that I liked.

On a side note I feel like Orange Caramel is dead and that makes me so sad. I love all their stuff, but I feel like we're never getting anything from them again and their hiatus is permanent :/

Check the OP of this thread if you want to listen to what this community thinks are the kpop classics. There are two playlists there (classics and essentials). Maybe you'll find more songs that click with you.

When I was in college one of my friends posted SNSD's - Genie (Japanese dance ver.). We watched the MV several times and tried to pick a fave and try to figure out who was in other SNSD videos (mine was Taeyeon <3).

Fast forward some months, and I bumped into a neogaf thread: DJMAX Technika tune (Vita) Features music from KARA
First thing in that thread is one of the GOATs, KARA - Step, and the rest is history.

The thing that got me into k-pop is really freakin' embarrassing. It's Super Junior.
As a matter of fact it was the MV for Happiness that I saw which made me curious about what I was looking at. It was mid 2008 and they just came out with a sub-unit named Super Junior Happy which focused on cutesy songs. It's really awkward to watch it again because it's so 'cringe' but I kinda lived for it. Like where was their shame? Why is it so catchy?

The first groups I got really into however were SHINee (debuted that year) and F.T Island. SHINee wasn't until I saw 'Love like oxygen' which is still one of my fave songs. Their debut album is fire. F.T Island had that rock edge which appealed to me as well, though I don't think their early albums (first 2) aged well. And late 2008 you had Wonder Girls releasing Nobody and SNSD releasing Gee, so I was pretty much hooked since then.

Hope y'all are getting ready your half of the year lists. I have yet to jump into it, but I feel like it's going to be REALLY hard to do this time around. Despite every group and its mom disbanding, there has been some quality releases from nugus and rookies.

Whoops, missed that; sorry. Yeah, I agree with you: though they didn't need to play safe, more traditional songs *work* for popularity. And their B sides are almost always more my thing than the singles. These new fans can now go back and listen to Funky Boy in the Melting album, great song :pP
Click to expand...
Yes, Funky Boy is great, my favorites are "I Miss You" and "My Hometown", so good. Definitely a great album.

Bowlie said:
I see that almost every time with nugus. My hope is that by the time they grow enough, they have fostered a fanbase that would allow them to do something different from the usual, but sometimes that's not the case...

what the hell is Walwari, lmaoooo. This is so funny, it's like Koyote turned up to eleven. It's way different from 2BiC, the last thing you introduced me to :D
Click to expand...
Unfortunately it's not always the case, it really depends on how much someone wants to do a certain type of music, but if the musical choices are 100% done by the company, most of the time they gonna choose the safe release probably.
About Walwari, it's not a new concept for a group. They are inspired by a group called "Turtles" that debuted in Korea in 2001 and was very successful. They weren't from a big entertainent company and looking at the today Korean music environments it's great to see that were able to be popular. Haven't really listened to their entire discography because it cause me sadness when I think about them (you will understand why later) but I really like this song:
Turtles - Sing Lala, &#44144;&#48513;&#51060; - &#49905;&#46980;&#46972;, Music Core 20080112
their first win on Inkigayo:
&#44144;&#48513;&#51060; &#48708;&#54665;&#44592;&#47196; 1&#50948; &#54616;&#45912; &#45216;
Now that I'm almost crying the sad part, unfortunately Turtleman, the male member, died in 2008.
milkham said:

for me it was uhm jung hwa's cho dae and S.E.S.'s I'm your girl

I had heard some random korean songs like this one, prior to those on a cassette tape but had no way of finding any info about them until later.
Click to expand...
Was watching TV, saw the Super Junior MV for "No Other" and since I'm weak I instantly fall for the cute/boyfriendly concept Shindong pulled off really well in the video. Watched basically everything Shindong related on Youtube. I stopped following him so much for various reasons even tho I still feel bad for him when people make fun of him for his weight or are hypocrite about him. In the meantime I saw 2BiC, I completely fell in love with them and their talents especially during their Ustream live streaming and my love for them never stopped. Gonna support them as much as I can.

So half the year is over and here's the stuff I enjoyed most so far this year in no particular order though italicized tracks are my top ones:

K.A.R.D - Don't Recall
SOHEE - Spotlight
Suzy - Yes, No, Maybe
I.O.I - Downpour
Luna, Hani, Solar - Honey Bee
gugudan - A Girl Like Me
PRISTIN - WEE WOO
Dreamcatcher - Chase Me
Dreamcatcher - Good Night
Girl's Day - I'll Be Yours
SISTAR - Lonely
GFRIEND - Fingertip
EXID - Night Rather Than Day
BLACKPINK - As If It's Your Last
Red Velvet - Rookie
IU - Palette
TAEYEON - I Got Love
TAEYEON - Fine
SEOHYUN - Don't Say No

SNSD has already saved Kpop this year even before their August comeback for me with Taeyeon's and Seohyun's solo releases. I bet we would've had a Fany comeback too if it wasn't for her faux pas (Heartbreak Hotel is still the best SM Station track imho).

On how I got into Kpop, I lived with Korean roommates for a year. Gee and Genie won me over.

Oh and to finish off Color.Morale, here you go:

My route was a little unconventional, as I hit Korean dramas first. Friend told me to watch Playful Kiss, which led me to Boys over Flowers and eventually its soundtrack. Picked up a few artists there that I liked (SS501 really reminded me of my Nsync/Backstreet Boys days). The nail in the coffin was watching Dream High, which got me into IU, T-ara, and the the whole JYP crew, including Suzy, Miss A, 2PM, etc.

I'd say the first K-pop artists that I had on repeat were IU, SS501, and Shinee, followed by a slew of girl groups once I got down the YouTube rabbit hole.

Watching Infinity Challenge - well look at that, Hyori looks better than ever, is as funny as ever, happy, guess that's what happens when an idol decides to live her life!

On to the genius concept of putting Hyori and IU together (Hyori's Bed and Breakfast), episode one.. pretty good. IU and Hyori are different yet similar. Even without IU seeing Hyori and her husband muck about on Jeju is great.

This new Hyori-filled TV reality. Dreams do come true.

Saw a gif (I think in the funny pics thread) of Park Bom eating pastries in bed and ended up watching some Roommate. From that show, got into Orange Caramel. Followed that up with Invincible Youth which led to T-ara.

I was into Jpop thanks to animes/dramas and someday, a friend of mine linked me to this, at first I thought they were japanese and looked to more of their stuff, that's when I discovered they were actually korean.
My interest picked up from there and never stopped.

Fuuuuuu, this is going to be tough...

In no order whatsoever:

*Chungha - Why Don't You Know

*PSY - Last Scene (ft. Lee Sung-kyung)
Subin - Parasol / Swing / Circle's Dream

*Bolbbalgan4 x Mad Clown - Lost Without You (currently #1 if I was to put in order)
*Rain - The Best Present
*SES - Paradise / Hush
*Gugudan - A Girl Like Me
EXID - Night Rather Than Day
Gallant x Tablo x Eric Nam - Cave Me In

* - denotes top 10

As you can see my top 8 are already filled and we still have 6 months to go!

I can't even begin to imagine if we get more quality releases the next 6 months... I definitely know 4 songs in that list are staying in the top 10 so I'm excited to see which ones get replaced.

I want to buy a 6GB GTX 1060 right now but I can't even find one nor am I willing to pay $500 for what was $230 2 months ago. That's some bullshit imo.

But I digress...

I do agree about Eclipse being more in the pocket and yeah, one of the reasons why I love it is it's similarity to the current Ladies Code sound but at same time, Singing In the Rain is just fire and just super fun to listen to.
