[@norabeckwith6893]

Tbh kpop don't need diversity it's fine the way it is I got into kpop cause I think Asians need representation unlike the west

[@calicokaels]

​@@norabeckwith6893I agree. South Korea is one of the most homogeneous nations in the world. So, why do they need to represent anything but themselves? I get kpop has gone very global, but the representation that is import is that of South Korea. Not the rest of the world.

[@yoshified_]

in a space like that, kpop does need some diversity, especially considering the fact that kpop basically just snatched a bunch of cultures, mainly black american culture and called it their own.

[@nickjames8377]

U bit like Bon Voyage actually surprises me. The general insomnia concensus is that it's a top 5 TT. Idk maybe it has to grow

[@yoshified_]

i don’t think it’s going to grow 😔

[@nollyagasen159]

This month had 2 growers: Unforgiven i felt very meh about it at first, but after more listens i liked it more, i think having every member sing the unforgiven girls/boys part makes me like it more. But i still prefer antifragile and fearless though, since i still find the repetition of unforgiven a bit too much. Spicy is another song i found just okay at first, but it's actually a fun song for the summer, and it's very catchy. I'm kinda sad that ningning was treated like a sub vocalist here when she is the main vocalist. For the rest: My favorite titles this month were allergy, queencard and bon voyage. I also quite like icky too. But that's about it for the titles i liked, cause none of the other titles this month had me wanting to listen to it more than a few times Unfortunately there was not a lot of bsides i was feeling this month, the only albums where i liked more than one bside (not counting pre releases) were unforgiven and dreamcatcher's new album.

[@novascape128]

ICKY is SOTY Istg! Like Kard always eat but they devoured this time

[@ShortNeckedAlpaca]

amazing ranking as usual ! My favorites were Icky and Bonvoyage. Icky is just THAT song, it's got "Kard" written all over it, and also they all look SO HOT in this comeback, what a great day to be pan. As for Bonyoyage i totally get your point, it is indeed on the softer side, but i love suffering so i was very pleased with getting such an emotionally strong song from them, i haven't liked their main tt since Boca (and that was a loooonnng time ago) so i was really excited to finally love one of their tt 's again

[@theworstliz]

Save Me Kill Me is so gorgeous 😭 I'm only a casual listener of CIX but I've come to expect beautiful melodies from them. ICKY YESSSSSS I screeched like a witch when BM said "more than the tip" And so sorry for the absolute ignorance of this question but WHO is that in the fancam in today's intro 👀

Icky was such a good comeback for Kard, I had recently been casual listening to them but that may have to change 🤭 Also as a predebut youniz I would just like to say thank you for including Younite especially due to how little known they are and take time to listen to their album and I will agree that Trip is a good bside from this album, going to be heavily biased here and say that Younite bsides are usually pretty good

[@yoshified_]

i honestly wanna get into younite bc i absolutely adore the members, but i haven’t really listened to their music that much. could you recommend me some of their songs please, if you want?

[@chickbearr]

@@yoshified_ omg I would love too, based on your other videos I know you’ve mentioned you don’t really like ballads so the Youni-On album may best for you in that sense as the title track is more noisier I guess???? Bsides are also good (one of my favs from that album is Time’s Up) maybe but a couple of my favourites are Everybody (pre debut song) which is kind of more like hip hop??? And then also Come Around from Youni-Q (Youni-Q personally has some of the best bsides on it so far, another fan favourite well, from mutuals of mine anyways is Swish). I do hope you can find some songs of theirs that you like and can vibe with well and appreciate the interest in the group a lot 🫶🫶

I believe you missed a song! A kpop group called “WE US” debuted with “Purple Sky” this month. I am wondering what your opinions are on it.

[@ForestSen]

I really loved Dreamcatchers Bon Voyage since it has some of their old flavor attached. But I understand not everyone will love every song made. Did you get the chance to check out the b-sides though? Because they have amazing (to me) and Propose is so dark and sexy. Demian has a more retro feel but a lot more rock. Maybe you might like one of those?

[@swann1es380]

Blackswan ate with this comeback

[@calicokaels]

Unforgiven, Spicy, and Queencard are my top 3 this month... which is wild because I've never been big on girl groups. 4th gen girl groups really got me in a chokehold though. They are slowly taking over my playlists and outnumbering the male group songs, lolz. The MV for Save Me, Kill Me absolutely broke me. I do kinda wish they had a trigger warning since the most triggering part is at the VERY start (no MV storyline to warn you its coming). Still loved it though, even though it was hella hard to get through. And the song is beautiful, but CIX is one of those groups I always expect that from. They have some of the most amazing vocals.

[@SoSophie14]

My personal favourite cb was Enhypen, they are now in my top 3 boy groups again 🥰

[@wellhellothere3997]

i love dreamcatcher sm but their last few comebacks have been so disappointing...bon voyage was at least better than maison and vision (which are my least fav comebacks to date) but when they have songs like scream, deja vu and boca, its super hard to live up to those standards :/ (edit: YES FINALLY ICKY APPRECIATION THE BACKROOMS REFERENCEWS SFHSHFSHG)

they probably updated it, but the last time i posted a video with them in it, it got blocked, and i re edited it to not have the mv in the video but it still got blocked, so i rather not deal with that just to find out i wasn’t a fan of this comeback though

[@kpop_4yuna]

To Cherry Talk: I really wouldn’t vibe with it at first, but it’s great as backup music, like when doing homework or other studies (the bsides are actually really good too) To Bon Voyage: I really liked the tt and the previous one too but I just can’t really get into their bsides for those two… To Per: I wish they had bsides and this build up bass at the prechorus is annoying af To Siren: I was actually so confused for a change up (actually quite upset) but then I gave it a few listens and I REALLY REALLY love it now. It’s a crazy grower and I finally chose by biases and wreckers after stanning them since debut. To Karma: It’s really good but how’s anyone gonna stan when they’re scared of more lineup changes? To Spicy: THIS is Giselle’s most iconic era and nobody is talking about it… To Unforgiven: Not a stan but they did it again To Lucid: It’s what I needed from that album, it’s so under appreciated but it’s so great. Overall: As a gg stan, I was happy! Great tts, even greater bsides! Very happy, WAVE by Ive gonna be in top 3 easily tho

[@iantha611]

For me Bon Voyage was a solidly good song, but definitely not a new legendary. Their Dystopia trilogy has sort of been one long 'okay' from me, at least in term of the title tracks. If you can count on one thing with Dreamcatcher, it's that they will always come out with something different, and that's part of the fun! Bon Voyage for me is that song you put on to pretend you're in a character-defining moment in a movie, not a song you jam to everyday casually. But the B-Sides of their comeback were INCREDIBLE!!! Propose and Demian were K I L L E R songs, surprised you didn't include them in the B-Sides section! The other B-sides this trilogy were good too! I mean, VISION era gave us Fairytale, and Maison was the album where literally every member got a solo song and there was tons of diversity in the sound. I'm definitely not going to mourn the end of the Dystopia era, but it definitely didn't suck- I mean, our girls got FOUR wins across the three comebacks, which not only is an incredible achievement, put an end to the 'Dreamcatcher's Curse' memes that were going around, lol
