r&b is my favorite genre, so exos discography is a blessing to me

[@reginagamboav4404]

I totally agree with you, the exos have amazing r&b songs

[@kpopscenario1406]

Sameee

[@yeriscarat9241]

same

[@94mp99]

R&B = Red Velvet (especially the Velvet side)

[@shiqingxuan6124]

the beauty of r&b

[@kpopscenario1406]

It’s the best musical genre

[@g.m.9273]

Contemporary R&B just hits different! (I love love night drive so much)

[@noventanine]

YESSS

[@LikeAFire525]

ladies code ❤ TXT's Dreamer was one of my favorite kpop songs in 2023..

[@shiqingxuan6124]

my fav genre in the world, this video is perfect for me

[@wonderingchuu]

When i saw the title i immediately thought of BIBI! She's one of my fav Soloist and and she made me discover RnB in Kpop !! Y'all should go take a look at her discography if you like this type of music !!

[@IVEREIStan]

Y’know what’s better than rnb in kpop, actual rnb! You should try it too for a change.

[@gelesic6757]

this video is actually so fun omg i genuinely love your channel so much and i hope you continue doing what you love you help me find so many new nice songs to add into my playlist 😌 and ur such a boss for including daybreak by dreamcatcher and call me anytime by eden maddox and ateez and i need a girl by taeyang

[@skzsmenuiscd3721]

sm always knows how to make good rnb song.

[@Abcdefg_2025]

SME is well known for R&B I guess!

[@katehvalica1621]

Good video! So would Sugarcoat by Natty be contemporary R&B?

[@taemteez]

super super close, its hip hop soul which is essentially only a step off from contemporary r&b :D

[@MorisawaMae]

Aespa aboriginal health heart.... 😮😮😮

[@taemteez]

i dunno what this means im sorry D: did i do smth wrong

[@minjisattention]

what the hell does this mean😭😭😭😭🔥🔥💯💯⁉️⁉️⁉️

[@bunyeon2676]

i agree!!

[@dominiquemyers354]

I didn't even know that Chaeryeong came out with her own single! I'm so happy to see that she was able to come out with her own single! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@_.soobean]

all members came out with a solo in the last album!

[@dominiquemyers354]

@@_.soobean Oohh okay!! Thank you for telling me I didn't know that! ☺️

[@coralskpopcorner]

I love r&b, thank you for putting me onto some new r&b and k-pop songs!

[@maeshiftz]

dora maar is one of my favorite songs i was so surprised to see it here

[@biyytotiwyetiw553]

dOra maar is a masterpiece

[@ola1575]

The R&B category should also include artists such as Crush, Colde, Gemini and Henry. But above all - Gen Neo.

[@hanniezzz]

so many of these are immediately going in my playlists, i love your vids

[@dri_ele]

rnb is literally the best genreee

[@Aria-nu6ko]

Thank you for the list, recently I want to add more of R&B to my playlist apart from korean RnB soloist that I listen to. But I feel like the list is incomplete without Wheein's and Hwasa's music here. Wheein literally dropped a whole RnB album and even has a lot more collaboration singles with respectable korean RnB singer and producer. Same goes to Hwasa she had a lot of RnB songs in her discography. Some artists who were doing collaborations with them are Loco, DPR Live, Bumkey, K.Will, Jungkey, Beenzino, Epik High, Jay Park, Jeff Bernat, Jay B, and much more.

[@naevisual]

thirsty is r&b? i swear it's sounds like maybe... soul to me??? but AYYYYY you hit 2k!! i checked last week and u had like 300??? i hope you continue growing love ur vids so much!

[@tiramiseul]

The best genre💯

[@blackatblu]

i love you for including pixy

[@kid-ava]

I think alt rnb might be my favorite subgenre. I love electronic, melodic and passionate music anyway so it makes sense. a great kpop album with alt r&b influence is eau de vixx by vixx 💛🧡💜💜

[@mep908]

Omg it would be so good if you did "pop-punk genre in k-pop"

[@duongo5231]

thank you so much for these video like that ❤ please do the genre of aespa songs pleeeeeeaaassssseeee

[@starlitflorist]

i came from the twice video realising that a lot of my favourite songs were in the realm of r&b and when i saw that you made this video, i instantly subscribed. thanks for your hard work!! 💖

[@Daijus-z8w]

I love your videos! They’re so clean and well executed, my favourites are the discography analyses videos, I wonder what you’ll do next. I hope it’s enhypen tho.

[@fong26]

thank you so much for these videos omg 😭

[@chaesaura]

I love your channel sm and i hope you never stop posting because videos like these are so interesting to watch!

[@andrewtullips]

Belle from Kiss of Life called Nobody Knows Philadelphia Soul. Are there other K-pop songs that are Philadelphia Soul?

[@ywrincoree._]

Where's Automatic by Red Velvet? It's also has a 90's R&B

[@Cielthefiction]

Your taste in kpop is immaculate i like your channel❤

[@яупал]

Я никогда не оставляю комментарии на ютубе, но твой контент настолько замечательный, что я не могу просто пройти мимо и не поддержать тебя. Мне совсем недавно стали попадаться твои видео в рекомендациях ( буквально неделю назад ), и меня настолько поразила Ваша идея. Я ничего подобного не видела у наших русскоязычных кейпоперов. Конечно позже мне стали попадаться похожие видео с других каналов, но в именно в твоих есть такой шарм, который я не могу обьяснить словами. Я очень надеюсь, что ты не забросишь то, что ты делаешь, и у тебя появятся столько подписчиков, сколько ты заслуживаешь. Извините, что не могу написать на английском, но хочу чтобы вы знали, что вас смотрят люди не только из США❤

[@taemteez]

большое спасибо :) поскольку я изучаю русский язык, я очень благодарен за этот комментарий :D (надеюсь, с моим русским все в порядке)

[@яупал]

Вау, это самый неожиданный поворот в моей жизни. Как давно вы изучаете русский?

[@taemteez]

всего пару лет, я счастлив что это понятно :')

[@яупал]

Ради такого можно и английский начать учить😅

[@mmatitaa]

YES TRIPLES RNB!!!!

[@Sanjana_green]

I really like your videos. I'm really into darksynth genre and I really hope you would do a video about that genre.

[@oddfront-nm2ft]

what would kingdom come by red velvet be? contemporary rnb?

[@taemteez]

yep!

[@baccano5003]

I love this so much ❤❤n you make part 2 or a youtube/Spotify playlist? I love baekhyun / exo so much. They fits so well with r&b style ❤😊

[@Lalahlannd]

Can’t believe my black brothers and sister create this genre and forgot about it! Well thx Asian people to pick the trend back up more power keep it going !

[@taemteez]

definitely disagree that it was forgotten!! black musicians are still making r&b in the western music scene and its definitely more true to its roots than k-pop rnb is LOL

[@Lalahlannd]

@@taemteez of course it’s more true we made it! But now it’s not really r&b bro it’s bitter baby mama music or cheating on you music ! R&b had a good msg to it and the west is triying to change that ! But I do like jhene Aiko thoe she keeps it traditional

[@pigeondance]

great video!!! I freaking love this genre

[@drwcrv]

Every song from perfect velvet should be here

[@cheerypen]

thats why r&b is my fav genre it bring a special sound & vibe !!

[@MariaNildaDasFlores]

Dreamer hits different

[@martina6700]

R&B is my favourite wide genre, so this video is a blessing of information and recommendations.

[@jinsoulsbetta]

omg could you make one of these for trap genres in kpop?? :D this is so interesting

Seventeen - Same dream, same mind, same night 😍

Which of these would Natty’s (Kiss of Life) “Sugarcoat” fall under?

[@Genruin]

[@jino525]

cpr by rocky (astro) will always be the most beautiful song

[@moon_chae]

pleaseee do a TWICE discography analysis

[@jeremiah370]

And sugarcoat by natty from kiss of life🥲🥲

onlyoneof does rnb so well, they need so much more recognition

[@biyytotiwyetiw553]

PIXY PROMO LETS GOOO

[@oof2104]

would new jack swing be the more appropriate term for 90s rnb or is that just one of the many genres that use that '90s tech and vibe'?

[@taemteez]

pretty much just one of the 90s-influenced genres, new jack swing is a combo of classic hip hop and 90s rnb with that swing feel thats consistent in every njs song :)

[@eviiybs]

i looove iced coffee

[@thelovewitch1811]

heyy, can you tell what gender is saucy from sistar19 or desperate from r u next? love your content!

[@taemteez]

G idle peter pan where ?

[@minjisattention]

now WHERE is jazz bar by dreamcatcher my jazzy little song

its actually not r&b but nu jazz!

[@noventanine]

CONTEMPORARY RNB

[@ebonigiri]

please do the rock genre of kpop. Sorry for my bad English but i think you understand me..

[@miluves3589]

In which of those does natty's song sugar coat fit into?

[@miluves3589]

oh I just saw someone else ask the same so hip hop soul

[@opinion2049]

PIXY also had a bsideanmed 'insomnia' so thats alternative or contemporary r&b?

[@taemteez]

alternative r&b!

[@AbB-bl8qc]

Hi do you know song with boom bap influences such as muddy water or yestoday?

[@AbB-bl8qc]

Also a shinee analysis would be awesome, i am overwhelmed by the amount of songs they have but wiuld love to get into them!

[@taemteez]

uh oh by gidle, next to me by atbo, role model by evnne, and july by heize and on the street by jhope and j cole are the first that come to mind

[@ae-Michael]

Where's aespa-Lucid dream?

[@DREARBEATS]

what is the characteristic or the main element of r&b? i still havent quite figured that out-

[@taemteez]

basically modern soul with other influences - mainly a hip hop beat with soulful vocals, but the best way to put it is "slower songs with influences from every other genre except rock" lol

[@DREARBEATS]

​@@taemteezthankyou soo much!

[@Chuu_Vault]

24 Hours and Tail would count as R&B 👀?

[@taemteez]

24 hours is bitpop and electrotango (both super rare genres) but tail is definitely alternative r&b!

[@2amanon78]

is there a playlist for this???

[@lemondizzle1112]

Where would yena love war fall under?

[@taemteez]

hip hop soul!

[@l0uderthanbombs]

So in this case can perfect night by le sserafim be counted as contemporary r&b?

[@yeriscarat9241]

i think it’s 2 step
