This week's #KPopMonday theme is #PunctuationMarks with songs that have punctuation in their titles

A quiet trance-y tune by my fave Hong Dabin. "How you feel? Tell me that you're real. Swimming through your words cuz I enjoy a thrill. Chit chat. Tic tac? Kick back. Relax."

This week's #KPopMonday theme is #SummerVibes celebrating the last few weeks of summer in the northern hemisphere.

Somewhere around the middle of this music video, DPR Ian takes over the narrative, with Dabin being his OG partner in criminal hijinks. (More recent Ian music videos replaced Dabin with a green man, as Dabin left the group.)

This week's #KPopMonday theme is #SummerVibes celebrating the last few weeks of summer in the northern hemisphere.

I don't know what has a more fun, summery vibe than this fun, bouncy banger.

My own pet lyrics to this is "my oops, my oola oops..." 😁

This week's #KPopMonday theme is #7thHeaven celebrating groups who promoted together for 7 years or more.

A corollary to the previous toot is DPR LIVE's splitting with DPR to perform under his actual name, Hong Dabin 홍다빈. The first song with DPR was titled "Till I Die." This song, on his first true solo album, is titled "Till I Live." After trauma, trying to figure out who he still wants to be.

This week's #KPopMonday theme is #7thHeaven celebrating groups that promoted together for 7 years or more.

2015 was the creation of Dream Perfect Regime with DPR Ian and DPR LIVE.

Their first combined release was this song, with Dabin rapping and Ian doing the visuals.

(Dabin left in 2023, so just made it to 7 years!)

(Honestly, not my favorite song, but it is good to revisit where they started.)
