2023-01-12 02:53:03 +0000 UTCIVE - This is kinda funny. SNSD's Lion Heart is a very famous song but I heard a Oneus b-side that's also called Lion Heart much earlier. The Oneus song is VERY different to the SNSD song but it's still the song I think of first when I hear the words „Lion Heart“ :D - This stage looks much closer to the scale of regular music shows. MMA and MAMA were kinda crazy. - Very cute cover of Lion Heart bUT IS THAT MOTHERFUCKIGN STRAWBERRY MOON BY THEE IU?!? - „Their voices just make me feel better“ just wait until you hear the original version :) The MV came out right after I had just finished my first watch of Hotel del Luna and it was very weird to see IU with a love interest that didn't host Girls Planet 999 😅 - Man, at some point you really gotta learn Hangul. That would eliminate about 90% of your name pronounciation struggles :D How you're pronouncing Gaeul almost sounds like you're saying the first half of „Kaulquappe“ which is German for tadpole 😂 It is a very hard name though, I'll give you that. - Can a man stay loyal for once? The way you flipflop between Yujin and Gaeul - Ok, when is this rock remix dropping on Spotify? I need it! ATEEZ / THE BOYZ - Can you fix the timestamps real quick? It says 14:44 but this segment starts at 11:46 - Hongjoong and Mingi seem to be covering a song by someone named Kim Sung-jae or something similar. Can't say I'm familiar with them. - I was always more of a Pokemon kid, so my knowledge on Digimon is very limited but I can see what you mean - Oh god, I recently watched the year-end video of the Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2022 by Todd in the Shadows and he absolutely tore that Post Malone song to pieces. I haven't actually heard it myself but I'm going into this with a certain kind of first impression 😬 - Well, the song doesn't actually seem too bad and their performance is fun so it's all good :) I'm not that critical when it comes to music anyway. - And right after that statement I will say that I don't really like Whisper 😅 Good performance though. - 2022 was indeed incredible for music. I made a year-end club mix playlist (meaning „danceable“ songs) of pretty much all of the relevant title tracks and just a few of the very most impactful b-sides. Normally I try to keep those short enough that they could realistically played in one club night. But this one exploded to 250 songs, which is over 13 hours long 💀 If you're interested: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4LuYM6zojuuTwRT8fQVvM6 - But Halazia is my favourite song of the year and this is a performance I'm very excited for! - Oh my God. - Oh My Fucking God. - And I'm going to see THIS live in just over a month? Holy Fuck. - Yea, ask me on February 11th. Provided I'm still alive after that. CLASS:y - „How old is she? She looks like she's barely 15!“ Yes, that's Riwon. She's turning 16 in two days. And there are three members even younger than her. Seonyu doesn't turn 15 until March. - The girl that reminded you of Tiffany Young is Hyungseo, the oldest member at 21. Interestingly she actually reminds me of someone else: Bian from Majors. You probably have never heard of that group. They're super unknown and their management is horrible but they've released some of the best mid-2000's style EDM bangers in Kpop :D - Tick Tick Boom is a great song and that was a great performance! TEMPEST / Kep1er - In my opinion both of Tempest's comebacks are better than the debut you've checked out. Very much worth a look if you ever have the time! - Yes, the co-ed collabs are way too rare! And not just collabs. The fact that there is only one co-ed group that's somewhat famous (KARD) is a real shame. - I loved that. Funny thing is, you have now seen several covers of Pretty U but never the original, right? - And We Fresh is just as fun as ever. NMIXX - Oh, a BoA song! Not familiar with this one as I've only heard Better and Forgive Me so far. - The name you're looking for is Sullyoon. She's the one that captivated you. - I'm not really seeing what's different about this „Festival version“ of Dice. The song sounds exactly the same to me. - Ah ok, the bridge is a bit different. I like it! aespa - Illusion is one of the best b-sides of 2022. And they didn't do the full song, so there's still something left for you to check out. There's no MV, so the only things you really can watch are the lyric video and the dance practice. - AAHH THAT WAS SO GOOD. Here's the thing: aespa are coming to Germany in September, just an hour away from my home and it's REALLY tempting. However, Kpop Flex has taught me to not trust new and unknown festival organisers. BUT AESPA WILL BE THERE. NCT Dream too. Hrmmmm. ITZY - Not much to say, just excellent all around. Miyeon & Lee Mu-jin - I have not seen any Lee Mu-jin Service yet, so I was previously unfamiliar with his voice and oh my god! It's amazing! - And we all already know how great Miyeon is, so that was no surprise. Moonbin, Sanha, Yoo Taeyang, Kim Yohan - Timestamp is slightly off here, could you change that to 1:02:48? - Oh damn, Love Killa! - I'm only familar with half of this lineup as I've not gotten to Astro yet. - And of course it's Taeyang who's wearing the crop top. Who else - If you think this noise level is insane, you should have seen how loud we were for Pixy with a crowd of just about 150 people. It was deafening. I have some videos on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CmHw2nCLL_H/ - I'm looking respectfully 👀 - Nah but this was awesome. Monsta X - Dude I just heard the MX comeback and fucking hell, if that isn't already a soty contender at the start of January. - Come on guys I'm already obsessed with Gambler as it is. Was this necessary? NCT - Taeil and Haechan together with soloist Younha. That was really nice :) - Faster Mode seems to be a little mashup of Glitch Mode and Faster. - And no mispronounciations of Porsche to annoy me here, nice :D - The camerawork is indeed really good on this one. - Again, not much to say, NCT just excel. MAMAMOO - Okay, Hwasa just comes out dressed like THAT. Please let me breathe woman. - im sorry no coherent thoughs caveman brain - Don't mind me, I'm just looking respectfully 👀 Arin, Yoojung, Yuqi, Chuu, Yena - Yes, you reacted to Yoojung's Sunflower. She's a member of Weki Meki. On that note, where tf is Weki Meki?? - Man, it's so good to see Chuu on stage again. Now if only the other 11 could be freed from BBC's clutches. Stray Kids - Yes, this is the Korean version of Circus. Kpop groups never, and I repeat, NEVER perform Japanese songs outside of Japan. Not even in America or Europe. If you want to hear Twice perform Perfect World live, you have to go to Japan. Ateez had two songs from their original Japanese discography in their setlist for the Europe tour back in May 2022. But they did the Korean versions of those songs, because Europe is not Japan. Never mind the fact that most European fans don't even speak Korean, so the language doesn't make a difference. It's so stupid. I just want to hear Wildside live when Red Velvet go on that rumored world tour. But the chances of that are pretty much zero. - Taste, is a fuck icant form coherent thoughts riht now 💀

2023-01-04 16:03:24 +0000 UTC-IVE visual are insane they're way to pretty i love Yujin to she's the most popular member actual with Wonyoung . she's also a variety monster. DG if you got free time watch Earth arcade it's a very fun variety show with Yujin ,Mimi (oh my girl ) young ji ,and Eunji a comedian from the comedian big league in korea . very funny show. i like they cover of Lionheart by (girl generation) - Lesseo and Wonyoung cover IU (strawberry moon) it's a very sweet song they fit the song so well . - and i was sure than you will enjoy the rock version DG of LOVE DIVE it's not the song of the year for nothing they can arrange that song so many times so far a see the original version, the piano version, the ballad version, the house version and that rock version. - i miss so much Ateez this year on ceremony awards i still don't understand why they didn't win more awards this year . but i'am happy to se them in the end of the year ceremony festival. i hope than Halazia can kill the chart even if New Jeans is very strong with Ditto and they're last MV . - happy to see an Ateez X the Boyz collab Kingdom memory . - yes DG i got the same "Drive" feeling than you with The boys performance . - what can i say about Ateez man they're so good and Halazia live sound and look so good. again Jongho is a performer who it's possible to sing like that with a so intense choreo ?? _i'am glad than you react on Classy DG they also debut after a survival show call Teenage girl and they're very very good to they deserve the same attention as Kep1er , Lesserafim ,Nmixx or New JEANS but sadly their debut are going under the radar they are also very aggressive in their choreography and very talented the competition is just very high amongst the girl groups this year. yes the members of classy are very young 4 of their members Jimin, Boeun, Riwon and Seonyou were born in 2007 and 2008. - and the show my Teenage girl had for mentor among others YURI of girl generation and Soyeon. so yes this year tiffany and Yuri 2members of girl generation was the mentor of 2survival show. - the collab tempest x Kep1er was adorable. now that you have seen GP999 I think that like all of us you now have a particular affection for the members of Kep1er, right DG.? - the fan chants during Kep1er's performance was amazing they have very enthusiastic fans. -NMIXX can really shine vocally when you take them out of this stupid "pop mix" concept they are super talented. why JYP insists with this concept that they do not master?, -AESPA had an incredible start to 2022 with record sales and the end of their black mamba story line. they were more discreet at the end of the year but Illusion and Girls are very catchy songs. - i don't usually like ITZY songs or work . but boys like you is the only one song than i like by Itzy so good performance . -Miyeon and Lee Mujin performance are so great they're vocals fit with each other. Miyeon is a little underestimated I admit I also underestimated her at the beginning of (G) IDLE but she is incredible. (g)idle members are the most advanced members in 2022 -Monsta x almost stole the show in terms of aggressiveness and stage presence at Ateez and SKZ Monsta x is still in the game and it's still a safe bet. - NCT they really worked hard this year all NCT units had an amazing year. for me their best songs this year is glitch mode. - MAMAMOO my goddddddddd Solar needs to chill or relax she's so sassy . Mamamoo is the sexiest band in the industry without even trying. and vocally they have the best vocal line. this year was very calm for them they agreed on their solo activity. but for me they are still a must-have band. Did I mention how much I like Whee-in?? - but the best moment for me was the collab Yuqi x Chuu x Yoojong x Arin x Yena on Kara's "step" cover 1 STEP is still after more than 8 or 9 years in my top 10 favorite kpop song. and seeing the artists of this generation take up this iconic title was so touching. moreover I absolutely love all the girls of this collab. Yoojong (weki meki, I.O.I) is a girl that I all adore like Arin and Chuu but the aces of this performance are YENA and YUQI. I love them .

2023-01-04 15:37:46 +0000 UTC- Strawberry Moon is originally by IU. The girls are currently under fire because ppl think they were lipsynching. Seems like not a day goes by without Wonyoung getting hate. - Switching between Yujin and Gaeul? Same dude, same. Gaeul might be hard to pronounce but (like always) it helps to break up the name: Ga-eul. The first part is the same as Gahyeon, so no K but just the same as in english "go". The second part "eul" is like the vowel in "but". Her name means "autumn" btw. So with Aespa's "Winter", WJSN's "Yeoreum" (summer), and 2NE1 Park "Bom" (spring), we'd have all seasons :D - That drop in Love Dive is just...chef's kiss. - The Boyz and Ateez collab indeed felt like a reünion. They seemed to be really having fun / enjoying this collab stage. - San the MVP? Agree. It does help being the only sleeveless member and been put in the center though. - The Boyz. I don't think that's Changmin though but rather "Q", the super cute member of The Boyz. - Ateez. Seems like the entire audience had a Ateez lightstick. And this is strange because at the NCT performances everybody seemed to have a NCT lightstick. And during other performances I saw the audience having other lightsticks. Don't know how they did that. The audience also seemed to know ALL the fan chants. Were they hired or something? - CLASS:y. "She looks barely 15!". That's because she is :D They have 2 members of 14 and 2 of 15 years old... While we are on the age subject: NewJeans' maknae is also 14, and IVE's is 15. Le Sserafim's is 16. Rumours are that the upcoming YG group BABYMONSTER's maknae might even be 13... - Kep1er + Tempest. Yes, we really need more bg + gg collabs. Some great harmonies here! Whenever I see this Pretty U choreo I will always be reminded of Myah in GP999. - Aespa. I think you really should still check out Illusion. They only performed a small part and this is not the MV. - ITZY. Boys Like You indeed sounds nostalgic, maybe a bit like a Taylor Swift? Yeah the audience was VERY loud, and for every performance too. Great job. - ASTRO Moonbin & Sanha, SF9 Taeyang, WEi Yohan. The crowd was MVP here. They were screaming NON-STOP :D And yes SO LOUD for such a small crowd. - NCT. Thnx for explaining that "1 squad" :D I was so clueless. I thought they might had to remove "1 porsche" for copyright/advertisement reasons or something :D Good points about the camerawork. I have to agree. But like you said, the venue is much smaller here. I love those big productions (this MBC one felt more like a standard music show stage) but their camerawork could've been better. - Mamamoo. Their presence fills the entire stage. Took me quite a while to even notice they had (a lot of) dancers with them. Performance queens. - Arin (Oh My Girl), Chuu (Loona), Yena (IZ-One), Yoojoung (Weki Meki/IOI), Yuqi ((G)I-dle). They are all born in 1999. Yeah, "Step" is a famous KARA song. Loved this!

2023-01-03 21:49:38 +0000 UTCThank you for reacting to this! BTW from the Kara Step performance Arin is from Oh My Girl and Yoojung is from Weki Meki. I think the reason they choose that combination is because they're all the same age. That was my favorite performance of the night!

2023-01-03 19:53:12 +0000 UTCDamn, that's truly heartbreaking but I'm glad everyone came together for Chuu, thanks for letting me know (and anyone else who is reading this)!
Daniel Goland
2023-01-03 19:52:47 +0000 UTCNice to see it all finished with Taste. If that song had been released just a little earlier it could have easily been my top song this year. It's definitely a toss up between that and Ten's birthday for hottest song of the year and while I totally understand why Hyunjin is one of the more popular members this is the first where he's completely took my attention the entite time they were in especially in Tatste. Of course I'm glad to see the Kara song done. It's actually one of 2 songs of theirs I know so that was nice. Don't know If you've read any of the B-t-s posts fans that were there left but it was both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Each person had their sections divided and filled out from their own fanbase (from applications MBC took) but Chuu's section was completely empty. I'm gonna assume bc it was probably initially sent out for orbits to apply and BBC was being petty since it had been directed toward Loona fans, not entirely sure. When it was Chuu's turn to speak they said she seemed unsure of herself bc she didn't have any fans present to speak to so finally she just said "Orbits I miss you" but the other fanbases rallied together to cheer for her so that was nice of them. They did really work together. Was happy to see that.

2023-01-03 18:11:18 +0000 UTCAfter a lot of breathing exercises to calm myself down... The original Strawberry Moon is of course by the one and only Lee Ji Eun aka dlwirma aka IU. 😉

2023-01-03 17:51:38 +0000 UTCWhat, that's it? No BP, no Idle, no Dreamcatcher, no Akmu, no Big Mama? Just because they weren't on the show is no excuse. ;) Just kidding. It may take a while to have 2 hrs. to watch this, but I'll get to it.
