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

"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.

[@mg137b]

(also shout out to you for pmo "weather" by fromis. ur a real one for that must say)

[@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

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

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.

[@aywlrt]

BLOOM*IZ just screamed best. I remembered when i was very excited for the full album. 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.

[@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.

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!!!

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

xx is timeless.

[@mico4464]

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

[@Aki-cy9bu]

You starting with X X....... I already knew this video was gonna be a banger the second I saw that

[@MeowMeow-yq6ef]

Your editing has become immaculate, what a pleasure to watch these videos! Tysm for your work ❤

[@kacey_k]

Thanks for compiling this great list of albums that can help introduce new fans to K-pop music. It’s great to see STAYC’s Young Luv album from earlier this year in this list along with albums from 3rd gen gg queens like Red Velvet and Twice. I like your summary of the Young Luv album being a cohesive album, which captures the multitude of feelings one go through when they are young and in love. The Young Luv song itself is an absolute masterpiece that gives me goosebumps when they perform live.

[@purpleglitz]

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

[@nikolahetn944]

i NEVER comment on yt vids, and i'm not even halfway through watching but i just want to say you should be SO PROUD of this vid. its so beautiful visually and each description of the albums/songs is BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE YOU FOREVER FOR PUTTING MY LITTLE SOCIETY IN HERE

[@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.

[@inksty384]

i really do think Heng;garae is one of SVT's best albums yet, but an album I *personally* enjoy more is 'Going Seventeen'. It is such a diverse album. 1. Beautiful : The album starts with 'Beautiful' a mix unit song that's about how life feels boring and repetitive, but when with someone special to you, it feels special and, of course, *Beautiful* . The song makes you feel like you're special to them, while also being able to connect to the meaning (being what I said before), this song feels especially magical when listening to this on a walk to school, or a morning jog. And, this song is elevated more with DK's vocals, and how Shua and Dino and Minghao's vocals really do shine here. 2. BOOMBOOM : Gotta be one of their best title tracks. It's such a bop, it starts loud and ends loud, it doesn't feel loud, because, well it's always loud. The song itself is a unique take at a dance song, the lyrics is amazing (like Seventeen usually do), and the earworm it is, especially with the 'Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom'. It's one of their top title tracks. 3. HIGHLIGHT : This was the start of actually good performance unit songs (not saying anything before was bad, everything before was just meh imo), the song is a bop, it's a must listen, it's a dance song on steroids. THE LYRICS ARE AMAZING, you expect something non-meaningful from a song that sounds like this, but it's far from it, for example 'The reason for my existence is you, I wanna make you smile like the spring' it's not that deep, but it's not something you expect from a dance song. The choreo also is amazing, especially the chorus. 4. Lean on Me : Even though I prefer the previous song ('Space' from Love & Letter Repackage), this song is a great song. it expanded what the Hip Hop Unit can do, before this, all people expected was Hip Hop song, Space was an excellent try at expanding the genre, but it still had DK in it to compensate for the vocals. But Lean on Me, had no feats it was just the Hip Hop Unit, and they sang and rap the heck out of it, the song was lower on the tone to support the vocals of the HHU members, but they proved that they don't only rap, but also sang. The song in general is a great song about leaning a shoulder to someone you love when they need it, it's a great mix of a chill song and an emotional song. It's not one of their greatest songs, but it's one of their most influential songs. 5. Fast Pace : Seventeen's Best. Song. Ever. (not really) But, it's one of their greatest songs, this is an example of what Seventeen (especially, Woozi) can do with creativity. The tone of the song is meant to sound sexy and alluring, but the lyrics are completely otherwise, it's about a break up, with them using the metaphor of 'pace' to express the different paces them and this girl are walking in, and they'll never reach eachother and be side to side again. The lyrics are deep without needing the audience to analyze deeply to understand the meaning. The vocals (especially the Vocal Unit) elevate this song even more, it makes it 1000x better. 6. Don't Listen In Secret : THE VOCAL UNIT DOES IT AGAIN. To this point, since 'When I Grow Up' they've been doing ballads, and it feels boring after a while, but with this song they really said 'You're tired with ballads? Well, we'll give you another one and it will sound better than ever.' This song is an emotional roller coaster, their vocals really improved here (especially with Shua and Hannie), the emotion they portrayed in this song is amazing, they nailed it in every point of emotion, this is the standard of emotional ballad KPop songs. Understanding the lyrics makes it 1000x better, the climax with the Main Vocal Trio (DK, Seungkwan, Woozi) just hits you with that final hit of emotion, before it ends leaving you in a crying mess. It's the standard and will be for a long time. 7. I Don't Know : This song is like 'Don't Listen In Secret's much more depressed brother, and it's the second mix unit song.This song changes the feel of clarity in 'Don't Listen In Secret' with confusement, how they are confused of letting go or not, the vocals of Woozi and Seungkwan is amazing here, with Jun and Jeonghan not even sounding like themselves here, the climax is emotional, it's not loud and grand to keep that feeling of confusement and emptiness. The raps are amazing it doesn't feel out of place, the lyrics are amazing and full of emotion. It's my favorite song by Seventeen ever. 8. Smile Flower : This album really does get even more depressing as it progresses, this song is not a song about love, it's not a song about breaking up, it's not a happy song in disguise, it's a friendship song. Even though you could pinpoint the song as a deep love song, with the MV you can't mistake this song as anything other than a song about their friendship and their love for us Carats. The lyrics are deep, it's full of emotion, ending the album with something that doesn't sound as emotional as the 2 previous songs, but much more deeper and emotional in terms of lyrics. This song is really a tearjerker, once you understand the meaning, I'm sure you will be a crybaby listening to this song. The vocal unit's vocals (again) elevates this song into feeling even more emotional. I don't know how you can make an even sadder song than this, other than Seventeen themselves (with songs like Campfire, Habit, Hug, Us, Again, Kidult, Together, etc.) Going Seventeen is a revolutionary album, and will always be. It's a mix of emotional and happy and fun, it's diverse and you'll always be coming back to this album after you hear it. Before ending this, I also want to say other albums by Seventeen that are great, these are: - Boys Be : A teen love story at best, it's the standard of the teen love genre in KPop. With songs such as Mansae, Fronting, and Rock, it's one of their best albums. - Al1 : An album with a similar structure to 'Going Seventeen', it's an influential album. The title track 'Don't Wanna Cry' is a cultural reset, it introduced the electronic RnB Western-style music to KPop, it's an amazing album. Other songs that are great are Habit (Great emotion, Woozi-biased like me would kill for this song), Swimming Fool (Party song, Performance Unit came back to this dance genre with a great song that you can hear anywhere, and will make you dance), and Crazy in Love (Such a great song, it's a jazzy and groovy song that you just have to dance while listening to it). - An Ode : One of the greatest albums made, they nailed it. Never in my life, I expected a full album to be a no-skip. Fear, is a cultural reset. Songs like Hit, and Lucky make you jump with them both being almost two different genres. Songs like Lie Again, 247, and Second Life hits you with emotion. Let me hear you say and Network Love are songs for hot people. and Snap Shoot ends the album with a happy and a bop song. An Ode will always be an inspiration. - Your Choice : I really do hate that people appreciate Attaca much more than Your Choice only because of the title track (Attaca is still a good album tho). Your Choice will change your life, every song in it is amazing. This album has Heaven's Cloud (An amazing song overall, it's a love song, just that, but the lyrics really are amazing), Ready to Love (One of their top title tracks. No comments.), Anyone (I personally prefer this than Crush), G4ME BO1 (Fun song, makes great diversity in the album), Wave (Best performance unit song, this song is so good, the anti-drop is unnoticeable it's such a smooth song, and only hot people listen to it) and Same dream, same mind, same night (You can never go wrong with bringing back 90s RnB, if you love Versace on the Floor, you'll love this song too). - Other Albums : Other albums by Seventeen that are still excellent and life-changing are: LOVE&LETTER, TEEN;AGE, Director's Cut, Semicolon, and SECTOR 17 (Including Face the Sun). Every Seventeen album is great, and this is my personal opinion, and that's it.

[@HaevelvetImonlyviewer]

Bloomiz is the best album in kpop along with Dystopia:Tree of Language

[@velvetslms]

I'm in love the way you edit your videos 🤍🤍

[@LaurenPebble]

My top albums are: 1. Golden Child - Yes. - It has been my favourite ever since first listen. I usually hate songs like Burn It, yet I loved it even just from the teasers. I don’t usually care for intro and outro tracks, but the intro track really sets the mood for the EP and I can’t help but listen to it. 2. NCT 127 - Sticker - I can’t stress enough how much I enjoy Sticker, both the song and the entire album. Something about it just feels more cohesive than their other releases. 3. Girls’ Generation - Lion Heart - I don’t have much to say about this one. It’s just a really enjoyable listening experience from start to finish. Quintessentially SNSD. 4. Girls’ Generation - Love & Peace - yes, I know it’s Japanese. It was their most recent release when I started listening to them, so it has a special place in my heart, and at the time I didn’t know it was Japanese 😅 5. Taeyeon - INVU - Taeyeon is my favourite singer, and yet when I first listened to this album, I didn’t like almost all the songs. But I changed my mind quickly, and now I think they’re some of her best.

[@francescacensori299]

Honestly I enjoy a lot newjeans debut ep, it's sooo good, I listen it almost daily. Also " love yourself tear" by bts, "you make my day", "director's cut" and "an ode" by seventeen "The chaos chapter fight or escape" by txt And last but not least "I'm Fearless" by lesserafim. These are the first that come to mind, other than some that aee already in the video

[@francescacensori299]

I almost forgot, 130 mood trbl by Dean, it's soo good

[@ananya_.srivastava]

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

[@MajesticWorld19]

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

[@natxsha]

finally a video that's not based on biasness but rather objectiveness....these r the *actual masterpieces* also, wld just like to say, i stan nearly all the groups here

[@leanashine]

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

[@qexat]

The editing is so good! I'm just a bit sad that there was no Dreamcatcher album in the list... The Tree of Language really deserved it!

[@lavendervvitch99]

I agree with a lot of this list - the rest were albums I hadn’t listened to before but now will have to listen to. XX was indeed a cultural reset. I’m also happy to see Young Luv on here - I listened to it recently for the first time and was blown away; prior to that I’d been maybe right about to stan STAYC but this album pushed me hard into SWITHdom. The songs are so beautiful, the vocals are next level, the passion is audible, and it’s such a wonderfully cohesive & well produced piece of work.

[@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.

[@modzaaclub1]

Dreamcatcher The Tree of Language in the best Album KPOP 1.Scream 2.Tension 3.Red Sun 4.Black or White 5.Jazz Bar 6.Sahara 7.In the frozen 8.Daybreak 9.Full Moon 10.Over the sky 11.Paradise

[@soumyadipmaity9358]

The war is my most favourite album of all time.... really need that type of k-pop from other group...

[@mugdhamasram3068]

everything here is perfect and totally my ultimate ones but the only one i'd add to this list would be aespa's savage, it was nothing but perfection. Just how we started from an energy-filled anthem like song 'aenergy' following with the climax of the album 'i'll make you cry' and others then perfectly ended with a dreamy and alluring song 'lucid dreams'. It was perfectly executed. Yeppi yeppi is still one of my fav b-sides ever made. It is easily a no-skip album i would play in shuffle anytime i'm bored.😭Also Ateez recent album 'the world ep1 movement' is so fine!

[@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.

[@kookilenakkk8779]

OFC BLOOM*IZ IS ON THERE! It embodies IZONE so well, their elegant flower concept, every songs were bops, A SKIPLESS ALBUM! And also the self composed songs😭😭 Like… Knowing Minju wrote You&I really hits 1000 times harder

[@Satellit3]

you're so real for having XX on here. That album is a piece of art, the best thing ever made. They hit the jackpot with that album. XX is THE STANDARD

[@coral54hgmb]

In my opinion ateez’s mini album ep.3 one to all is the best album ever. All the songs are so genuinely amazing. It’s the only I’ve ever heard where I liked all the songs Immediately

[@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.

[@joynerj.k.6215]

When I saw the video I thought of The War by Exo, because I literally was listening to it recently, and you included it in your list.

[@cremline7484]

Dude i just wanna say, you are a man of culture and we have almost the exact same taste for music Also My Little Society shall be played at my funeral

[@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

[@nabi_miso]

NOEASY has always been in my top albums. The variety of genres is refreshing and really showcases Stray Kids talent when it comes to producing music. There isn't a skip on that album!
