"My Little Society” appreciation..... we love to see it. Even though its not personally my favorite from them, I adore this album so much. Anyways,fromis albums overall deserve more appreciation. And of course Bloom*iz and [X X] just had to be here. Both incredibly beautiful and diverse albums. Also,people had already said this but I freakin' love your style of editing so much. Its so neat and clean.

[@vivianlight-]

Yes! I feel like with time, Fromis_9 discography will be more and more appreciated because it will resist very well to the test of time. I think My Little Society and Midnight Guest in particular are amazing. From Our Memento Box is solid, I prefer it a bit less compared to the other two but it definitely has its moments and is a good work. I get why people say that the first two minis weren't all that: I think they have a couple of great b-sides each, but also various songs a bit "interchangeable in your memory" if you get what I mean (however especially To. Day I think maybe is a bit underappreciated). But I think the next three minis + the single albums (and all the singles in general) make Fromis_9 a very respectable group in the discography category. I love how in the same era we had We Go + Airplane Mode or Fun! + Love Rumpumpum and the first works anyway are happy, cute, funny, they have a good vibe. Jiwon voice is the cherry on top.

The Perfect Red velvet, for me that's an album which made me think is it what 1989 was for Taylor Swift. Absolute perfection and I listen some song of that RV album everyday in my liked playlist, it can't escape my playlist even for one day. Edit : The fact you mentioned kingdom come and that I know it was written keeping Seulgi(ult bias) in mind makes me go places when I hear it, I close my eyes and feel it, it feels too good to be true ♥️

[@bbihaengnim]

some of my favourite albums that weren't mentioned in the video: soul lady - yukika - the queen of citypop. she's yet to release a bad song. favourite songs: shade, pit a pet, cherries jubiles, soul lady, i feel love. obsession by exo - it's my favourite exo album. even as a kyungsoo stan i listen to it and imagine his vocals. all the tracks are amazing, a super cohesive listening experience. the styling for the mv/jacket shoot/stages was gorgeous too, and it continued exo's lore. favourite songs: ya ya ya, groove, jekyll. odd by shinee -it's probably the best example of shinee as a group. zero skips. view changed kpop forever, and again, the styling was so good. i've had lovesick on repeat for like 5 years now and it's still one of my favourite songs ever. favourite songs: romance, lovesick, black hole. kai - kai -if you haven't watched film:kai what are you doing with yourself. watch it now. definitely an album to listen to at night and imagine floating far far away, or in the car or on the airplane. favourite songs: amnesia, hello stranger, the entire album. max & match - loona odd eye circle pop/rnb perfection. unmatched to this day. they are VOCALISTS. definitely worth sitting somewhere quiet with a fancy sound setup and soaking it all in. favourite songs: odd front, sweet crazy love, uncover. semicolon - seventeen -personally i preferred semicolon over henggarae. home;run is one of my favourite seventeen title tracks. the mv references one of my favourite movies, 'snatch'. light a flame is a gift that keeps on giving - every version they've performed of it has been amazing and highlighted their charms differently. ah love is such a sweet cute summery song, it feels so happy and warm. favourite songs: light a flame, hey buddy, home;run, ah love. superm the first mini album - superm -to be honest, i wasn't sold on it when it first came out, but as time goes on i realise i've had every song from this album in my "on repeat" playlist. even though the title track is a bit meme-y, the bsides are A1. favourite songs: i can't stand the rain, super car, no manners. the park in the night part three - gwsn -gwsn deserve so much better. such a solid album. just an amazing collection of songs. great vocals, great production, incredible lasting power. lunarbuizl's red sun edit lives in my mind rent free. favourite songs: total eclipse (black out), black hole, night aviation. if you're reading this thank you for making it this far

[@maliapark7601]

the war and perfect velvet are one of kpop's greatest masterpieces along with f(x) pink tape. it's hard to explain how good these albums are, because just listening you can understand.

[@neoshiin]

I will never stop saying Butterfly by LOONA and BTS are the best kpop songs!! Both respective albums just captures that 3rd Gen Emotional sound so incredibly well. Almost every song in the albums either make me cry, feel like I’m in a movie or bust out a weird dance move-truly masterpieces.

[@cath.is.an.erizen]

I have to say, this is a well-curated list!! I love that you added snippets of the songs so that I can get the feel right away. The War is also one of my fave albums from EXO, but XOXO and Universe remain on top for me (i'm a sucker for exo winter albums 😭). For NCT, my most fave album is Hello Future by the Dreamies (YES, the repackage album specifically, bcos of the three added tracks, esp. HF). For soloist, it would be Purpose by TAEYEON (Gravity is my ultimate fave taeyeon song) MAAAAN I wanna include all exo soloist albums lololol

One of my top albums is the Dreamcatcher Tree of Languages album. Like every single song on that album was a bop. Like that album has Black or White, Red Sun, Sahara, In the Frozen, Jazz Bar and Daybreak on the same track list 😩. The title track was incredible. The Intro and Outro are well produced and immersive. Like for a first full album Dreamcatcher really did EVERYTHING.

I’m so obsessed with that 3rd-early 4th Gen sound. Idrk how to specify it but it’s really a mixture of emotional crying, edm, fifty shades music and weird and fun bops, ESPECIALLY that elegant and fun feel.

My personal favorite albums (warning: wall of text): 1. Flip That (LOONA) This album is a fresh breeze to my summer days this years, every single track in this album was well produced and well performed, one of the best releases of this year so far Recommended songs: Pale Blue Dot, Playback 2. VIVID (AB6IX) As a former Youngmin biased ABNEW, this album delighted and saddened me at the same time, each of the tracks in this album sound very different, the title track has a fun, quirky vibe to it, which I enjoy a lot in boygroups music, the bsides are just so phenomenal Recommended songs: Surreal, Midnight Blue 3. One-Reeler: Act IV (IZ*ONE) My first and sadly final comeback with the girls, this album made me emotional every single time I take a listen, at first I only listened to Panorama, but each of the bsides slowly attracted and made me obsessed with them, this album also showcased IZ*ONE's vocal very well. Recommended songs: Sequence, O Sole Mô 4. Zero: Fever, Pt.3 (ATEEZ) Their best album so far not gonna lie, they gave you all kinds of sound you could ask for, emotional, bright, intense,... All were included in 6 tracks of this album, my emotions were literally a rollercoaster every time I shuffle this Recommended songs: Not Too Late, Eternal Sunshine 5. It's Me, It's We (TEMPEST) One of my favorite debut albums ever. When I knew the group name is TEMPEST, I was afraid that they were gonna make that typical loud noise debut like most of other boygroups again. But no, they surprised me with this debut, I really miss this kind of bright, energetic concept from rookie boygroups, so TEMPEST really refreshed my music taste Recommended songs: Just A Little Bit, Bad At Love 6. You Never Walk Alone (BTS) Spring Day is my best healing song ever, I listened to this song when I was at the lowest time of my school years and it really helped me regain my composure and stopped me from all the negative thinkings, this album as a whole is a really good one as well, soft music from BTS is always the best Recommend songs: Not Today, Lost 7. Songs Of The Sirens (GFriends) My first time seeing a massive concept switch of GFriend and they did it so well, I don't care what y'all think, I still love Apple with all my hearts, this is one of their only songs to give all the members their spotlight, I think it deserves more loves from kpop fans. Recommended songs: Room of Mirrors, Crème Brulée 8. Eyes Wide Open (Twice) Another phenomenal release in 2020, this is the best album Twice had ever put out, I personally love this mature, royalty concept in this album more than their previous cute, youthful one, the bsides do deserve more recognition Recommended songs: Queen, Do What We Like 9. The Dream Chapter: Eternity (TXT) Again, concept switch, a lot of fans hate it, but I don't, I think it really suits the storylines they were making at the times, to be honest I love all TXT's albums but this one just hit different to me so I just had to put it here Recommended songs: Eternally (Tell me anyone who wasn't shocked at this) 10. Phase Two: WE (B Of You) This group sadly disbanded but I still want to let y'all know about their existence, they were only active in the industry for a good one year, but in that one year they served some of the most beautiful songs ever made, I hope that one day, I can see them reunite on stage again Recommended songs: Blank, Butterfly

I love the BLOOM*IZ era so much, the trailer and its bgm, the mv, the comeback stage, the outfits, they were so good. It was the only album i listened to the medley EVERY DAY, anyone can ask me to sing on that whole video. Dreamlike is my forever 1st place for IZ*ONE songs, i repeated it all day at that time, and i really mean all day, the first song i listened when i woke up, looped it till i fallen asleep and woke up again on the next morning. I was really crazy about it.

[@amorria]

Honestly, 'XX' still remains to be my favorite LOONA album ever released. I'm going to sound dull but I miss this era a lot when I compare it to their more recent releases, like... everything was just perfect and I didn't feel like any member was pushed under the rug. And 'Colors' is my favorite LOONA's b-side. 💖As for the other picks, I definitely agree on 'Feel Special' and 'Perfect Velvet', and I so wish 'Perfect Velvet' got a reprint. If I were to own one Red Velvet album, I'd love it to be this one.

[@MattOnce]

Love that you put The Story Begins. An amazing Debut of one of the best girl groups in history!

[@Ha-young_is_Just_Too_Fine]

Fearless is like the Perfect Mini Album, literal No Skip Album, my favorite album by far, Blue Flame can take my Soul, even The World is My Oyster beats a lot of Kpop Bsides

[@Vito410]

@@MattOnce I got it when my mom suddenly decided to buy me an album with twice, I don't know much about kpop then, since I'm curious, I listened to it, not a biggest fan of like ooh ahh, do it again, like a fool, but I was into I think I'm Crazy, Truth and Candy Boy, a year, I finally decided to search up Twice's name, and found TT and Cheer Up exists, and I got into Twice and kpop

[@MajesticWorld19]

Hengarae and My Little Society will always hold such a special place in my heart

[@chelleange1s]

some of the best kpop albums in my opinion (and there's a lot) are 1. formula of love by twice, maybe it's bc it's the first full length album ive listened to by a kpop group but idk every song just hits & there's not one song that feels out of place (except cactus lol) 2. hello by joy, such an amazing debut the whole album feels like a barbie movie soundtrack. 3. savage by aespa, again every song just fits & it works so well together u cant listen to one song without listening to them all 4. 12:00 by loona, it's their most cohesive & i think this sound suits them with their concept change. 5. hide & seek by purple kiss, again every track is just so amazing. an amazing first comeback & though they switch their concept to fit a quirky sound, it still feels like purki. 6. midnight guest by fromis_9, though there's some tracks im not a fan of, you have to admit it's such a great reintroduction to the kpop scene after a long hiatus. 7. young-luv.com by stayc, agree with u about everything. this album deserves album of the year IDC 8. smiley by yena, arguably, one of the best solo debuts this year. and best post-izone debut, her style of pop rock/pop punk feels so authentic even tho it's basically watered down disney music, but that's what makes it's so good! it's campy & fun, she doesn't take herself seriously it's great! 9. feel my rhythm by red velvet, i dont even think i have to say anything. amazing concept photos, amazing packaging, amazing songs. 10. oddinary by stray kids, there's only one song i dont like on this ep but it's such an amazing ep! venom, charmer, & muddy water are definite stand out tracks.

[@chelleange1s]

here's some more, i said it was gonna be a lot. 11. your world by kim hyerim, if you're into slow, christian horse girl music this is the album for you! the title track alongside its' music video is so pretty! 12. fearless by lesserrafim. another great post-izone debut! the album has the vibe of a fashion show (obvi!) only critic is the line distribution. 13. facade by wonho. i have this running joke with myself that wonho makes club music & this album is just meant for the club!!! 14. im nayeon by nayeon, another great solo debut. i was manifesting nayeon to have a sound similar to ariana grande & this album SCREAMS early ariana grande in the best way possible. it shows off her fun & quirky side while giving us something you wouldn't expect from her. i do wish the production for no problem was more lively however. 15. into the light by lightsum, probably one of the best teen crush/hi-teen albums in the past few years. some of the standouts from this album are i, good news, & bye bye love. AND THE FINAL ALBUM I HAVE LISTED IS 16. geekyland by purple kiss. literally just listened a few days ago but i absolutely love it! this is purple kiss' true sound! it makes you laugh, it makes you cry, it makes you wanna dance. this is their best release to date & helped solidify them as the quirky scream queens (in my mind)!

[@MattOnce]

Formula of Love is amazing!!!

[@sana-cm7oc]

Scientist, Icon, Push & Pull 😊

[@amaantambu9794]

Will definitely argue about about smiley being best post izone release we have glassy right therein front of our eyes let's not do our girl Yuri like that smiley definitely a close 2nd would've been first but express moon with glassy just does it for me luck 2 u is definitely up there tho I don't mean to disrespect or disregard your opinion tho smiley slaps

[@suncooper2361]

Okay, unpopular opinion here. Beam of Prism by VIVIZ. Hear me out. HEAR ME OUT. That mini-album is shining every color in existence. It's diverse in style, feeling, and vibe. It can be fun with Bop Bop, chill with Lemonade, grand with Fiesta, and melancholic with Mirror. And have you heard Tweet Tweet? That song is outright hypnotic. If there was ever a song to describe the feeling of slowly descending into deep hypnosis, it would be Tweet Tweet. And don't even get me started on Love You Like. This song is the perfect encapsulation of love, beautiful, sweet, sorrowful, and somewhat painful. VIVIZ's agency put their whole bpmussy into this EP, it's simply flawless.

[@descriptiondescriptiondescript]

My Little Society is one of my favorite albums, too. Even though there are only 5 songs, they are all great. fromis_9 has some surprisingly good b-sides.

[@ananya_.srivastava]

aespa's savage album was just chef's kiss. all the song in that album go together so well

[@sunshinebyun3995]

i can't even explain how happy i was when heng:garae, feel special, young luv and the war appeared, finally someone gives the recognition all these masterpieces deserve😭

[@nikolahetn944]

Astro's All Yours, Lee Jin Ah's RANDOM and IU's Palette albums are among my favorites 💙

[@ssgg12333]

I’m not an orbit (yet) but I fell in love with loonas debut album since its release and every single song on it ive had on replay for years.. like, last year I listened to curiosity 6 times a day (I’m not even kidding) and this year I’ve been obsessing over colors. Omfg that album is perfection in music form and it makes me feel so magical and nostalgic.

[@sicknonsense3068]

Amazing choices!! I personally like I burn, Alone In the City, Max & Match, Raid of Dream and Palette

[@leanashine]

We love this delicious editing Also, YES Mulgogi is absolutely fantastic

[@kikierm]

im thinking of adding new jeans' debut album onto here cause that was just a masterpiece. i mean all of the songs are so unique, and really beautiful. nothing we've really seen before in kpop tbh.

[@melonramune]

one of my faves that wasn't here is happy moment by wjsn! literally like injecting dopamine straight into my veins. but you really listed most of my favorites ur taste is immaculate

[@kijanka7760]

this video needs more dreamcatcher tbh, especially their golden era 2018 eps. besides that, i think im going to check out bgs you mentioned, they sound like a very nice listen.

[@sandracheng1313]

never knew how much i needed this ;____; every song is a certified BOP

[@blueblur8]

i’m so glad you included the war, i feel that no one talks about the songs in that album expect for the eve and ko ko bop. also the aesthetics and styling (except for kai’s hair) were so good that era. it’s probably one of my favourite kpop albums ever along with the perfect velvet and empathy edit: remember us by day6 is also a very good album and i would recommend it, along with the book of us: entropy

[@mico4464]

if an album has a song titled "Butterfly", you can already say it'll be a bop album

[@IMPURITI3S]

living for this content! it's just so aesthetically pleasing and the TASTE??? you never miss bestie, one of my fav videos of yours

[@jumrum]

love this video concept, feel special is such an incredible ep i will never get over it

[@dreampinkreel]

Finishing this vid on Perfect Velvet was the move. Look and My Second Date are my top two on the album cause I feel they really represent the various sides of Red Velvet and Look being my absolute fave song by them I need Sumin to produce more stuff for the girls

[@jadesgladiolus6642]

i don't do exploring with music myself so i like watching these types of videos, opening my spotify and waiting and knowing that i'm going to end up with a bunch of new songs in my playlist.

[@purpleglitz]

i know everyone loves The Perfect Velvet, but The Red is just Kpop perfection, probably the greatest debut album ever

[@Heevoice]

Feel Special and The War. That's one very valid list

[@alouguillermo785]

i feel like a best kpop album discussion isn’t complete without shinee’s misconceptions series (misconceptions of you and misconceptions of me). the first song is named spoiler and the lyrics spoil the names of all the upcoming tracks (so meta). the songs are unique but they still manage to form a cohesive albums. fully agree with you on heng:garae, it’s such a genuine album and so much of svt’s feelings were put in the process. that album will always have a special place in my heart

[@ye3s146]

The second I clicked on this video I was like. “Feel Special for SURE” so when it came up I was so happy lmao. That being said, I strongly agree with basically all the choices here, I don’t even Stan a lot of these groups but their albums have been so well crafted that they’ve had such a strong impact on me regardless, and I feel like it’s a topic that gets under appreciated when it comes to Kpop
