Where would be without @Erzbet organizing #KpopMonday ?

Thank you for choosing the #3rdGenerationKpop theme. This generation marks the time when I started to dive deep into Kpop.

Here are WJSN with a favourite B side. "Cantabile" is interesting to listen to, has a rap from Exy that I enjoy, and features nice vocals as well as some "cosmic" instrumentation reminiscent of "Save Me, Save You".

If that isn't enough, everybody looks so pretty.

All in all, "Cantabile" is just my style of Kpop!

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen IVE – Blackhole.

I've chosen this because I've had the song on my brain, I like the outfits, and I'm pleased that my liking this song provides me with an opportunity for posting a video with my bias Ahn Yujin giving it her all.

If you're not sure who Yujin is...

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen Hearts2Hearts – Rude.

Loved everything about the chorus and Carmen and Ye-on's parts. In general I enjoy the bouncy, ultimately disco derived house sound. I wish they had gone a little lighter on the rap and I am afraid that Stella's English passage was a painful reminder that I am not in the target market.

The MV has a lot going on but does not feel cluttered to me. Lots of great outfits, but my favourites were the tennis dresses.

Overall, I liked "Rude" a lot and can see why this bright sound works for them; it works for this fan too!

Yet I must say that I hope that they will return at some point to the more mysterious atmosphere of "The Chase".

No doubt when it comes to my opinion though, SM couldn't even care less...

Happiness and prosperity to all celebrating the Lunar New Year!

I have a Kpop girl group wish: please include more harmonizing when arranging the vocals.

Because so many fans want their own individual bias to have their own special moment, the temptation to arrange as a concatenation of individual parts is strong - see countless social media "line distribution" and "unfairness" posts.

Now listen to the "My Everything". Wonderful, yes?

Don't get me wrong - I love, love , LOVE the performance aspects of Kpop, and I am not claiming that we never hear harmonies in Kpop today. I just wish we could hear more...

VIVIZ

Both Hearts2Hearts and WJSN will be coming back before the end of this month.

Am I being a greedy multistan when I express a hope for VIVIZ announcing a comeback soon?

How beautiful they look!

I must say, though, that if I had not already known how Dayoung ( second from right) looks now from her last September's very Californian solo debut "Body", I would not have recognized her. Compare with a picture from a couple of years ago...
