It's #KpopMonday #OneWordSongTitles and we're hopping into the Wayback Machine to 2004!
DBSK (*) - Hug https://youtu.be/xQ635vE2RQI
cw: lens flares
CC in 8 tracks, incl ENG
Remastered in 2022, which is why it looks so clean/sharp despite very much showing its age. There's a musical backing track, but this was one they regularly sang a capella because they could.
oh yunho's back to serving okayy king!!

Abuela's BONUS Song of the Day (Sep 5)
DBSK - In the Still of the Night (a capella) [Boyz II men cover] https://youtu.be/mtidxR5EVuk
Breaking my own rules because this is older than the stations making it a habit of actually uploading their own content and I have a complete weakness for a capella (I grew up on a capella doowop and barber shop, so what can you expect?), so of course I fell in love with these guys.
Next up for #KpopMonday #KpopIntroPlaylist, absolute chaos!
DBSK - Balloons https://youtu.be/rdTVb64pfMs
cw: flashing, surprisingly violent penguins, baby Moonbin
Recognize the baby tiger/baby!Yunho? If you're new here, of course not, but yes, that's ASTRO's Moonbin in his first kpop appearance. This may be stereotypical in sound, but it's too adorable for me to skip.
If we're talking #KpopIntroPlaylist, we have to start with the head of the Hallyu Wave
BoA x DBSK x TRAX - Tri-Angle https://youtu.be/GM8wZRaHXTg
cw: lens flares, flashing, supernatural elements (gods, magic)
CC in ENG+KRN
BoA was already an established crossover star in Japan when Yoshiki got involved with SM to co-sponsor this piece of absolute art. & if you think that sentence was a ride, play the video.
#KpopMonday #KpopIntroPlaylist
This is, to me, still one of the best songs to ever come out of kpop, and it came out 20 years ago 😭 (and yes, it is very peak early SM lol you can practically smell Yoo Youngjin on this song 😂)
