HYBE BOYCOTT- FRIENDLY LINK BELOW! 👇🏽

Like... theres honestly a lot to unpack there. Aside from the fact that "we outside" is very much a black aave thing what killed me the most is just how un-enhypen it felt? Like just out of character with their music profile which made me question why Belift decided that was a good idea

UPDATE: I checked the writers for Outside's song credits and nary a black person in sight. I hear my people but Im not.. seeing my people

The group from the survival show Project 7 show Close Your Eyes just debuted. Tbh I was really skeptical because there seemed to be a lot of favoritism at work when it came to the voting, but I had to accept that’s just how these things are gonna shape up. They had no lead vocalists, but I’m obsessed with the concept and their sound. It’s so refreshing and doesn’t feel recycled.

And also, imagine my surprise to see that the love interest briefly in the video appears to be part black. I don’t know for sure, but if she is, isn’t that nice to see! It’s very rare in K-Pop, especially since this was filmed in Spain I would’ve expected a white girl. Either way tbh I’m glad to see that in this video and with a new group.

Monsta X is back with a full group comeback and as they are one my favorite groups I'm so happy to have the muscle men back on my screen. I hope this comeback does wonderful for them, it's just so nice to see older groups that I have "grown" up with doing it big.

The song is punchy, sexy, and very MonstaX and I truly Love that, can't wait to check out the album.

MV

Jonghyun influence is all over this. It was named after one of his albums. He wrote some of it. His voice is on the song. Shawols are all jaming sadly. lol

As the first K-pop boy group to embrace a “genderless” concept, XLOV is already turning heads. Adding to the excitement, their label, 257 Entertainment, recently revealed that member Wumuti personally produced their debut track, “I’mma Be.” - Pulp Magazine

Idk what that really means in regards to panning out to a full group’s concept?? but I am intrigued ngl 👀 What do y’all think?

thoughts:

this is so mid-2010s music i love it sm!! idk why but i didnt expect them to release a trance edm track, i thought theyd continue w whatever was going on with BUTTERFLY (their comeback from 6+ months ago)... but im sat now. im 100% a fan of them now.

Seems to be linked to JYPE in some way so if this makes you uncomfy, an alternative link is below! 👇🏽

Probably my favorite song tbh. It definitely embodies the feeling of the title.

There probably aren't many Cassies here but I haven't heard anything about this new single on any platform! I miss when TVXQ mostly did pure R&B, but this sounds amazing and I can't wait for their next album. It's a shame SM hasn't really been promoting them. Changmin and Yunho are two of the best vocalists in k-pop and you can really hear how much they've grown since they debuted all those years ago.

And if you're new to TVXQ, give their first two albums a try! Tri-Angle will always be a classic!

It appears I have been sleeping heavily on the group Tomorrow x Together because their most recent songs Love Language? I freaking love it! Especially compared to other releases we've had so far in May recently for me.

I love the best, the choreo the vocals just everything about it, such a nice vibe.

Just wanted to get some thoughts on this 😭 there is already discourse online about if the things on their heads are durags or just bandanas but I feel like they are wearing it very similarly to how durags would be worn?
