Stealing this from @AllonsyMelissa, and starting on the first in the month in the hopes I won't confuse myself any more than necessary. Also going to hashtag so all y'all can mute my nonsense. :)

Day 1 - A Song That Got You Into KPop

I first heard this on Matinee Idle - of all places! - in the mid-2010s. Phil had brought in one of his daughters in to talk about KPop to fill an hour. I was a bit meh about her choices tbh πŸ‘€, but I liked this enough to buy it on iTunes. :)

Day 2 - Favourite K-Drama OST

I don't watch K-dramas at all (nothing against them, it's just a brain/concentration thing), but I've always loved this song. Given how much Wheein says she doesn't like singing ballads, she's so good at them. πŸ₯Ί

Day 6 - A Song That You Love Because Of Its Lyrics

How are you?
How are you doing?
Is it the day you've been hoping for?
Like you asked me, I asked you
"I've been doing well"
Without hesitating for a moment
I sincerely hope you tell me
"I'm fine,"
"I'm fine,"
"I'm fine,"
And with that one phrase,
I'm fine too...

I'm Fine - EXO D.O.

Day 7 - A Song That You Found The Choreo Was Easy

I wouldn't say I found it easy as such - I am very much vocal line rather than performance line IRL πŸ‘€ - but I am compelled to do the choreo every time the chorus hits. This is fine at home, slightly less so in Asian grocery stores. 😬

You couldn't move for hearing this song when it first came out 2017/18, and it's still a great sound, especially on a lazy, sultry, sunny day...

Day 17 - A Japanese Song From An Idol Group

This became a firm favourite when I first started listening to KPop, but bcos I knew diddly squat about the Korean language back then I didn't realise it was actually in Japanese until much later.

Day 18 - A Song You WOuld Recommend To A Non-KPop Stan

This was so hard, bcos I don't really know the 5th Gen, and APT, while it's a great song, is more a western pop song than a Korean one? So I'd probably have to travel back to old school, bcos this song just doesn't age...

Day 21 - A Song From Your Favourite Era

Mamamoo's four seasons era. The Solar-highlighted 'Blue;s' album was my favourite, altho bcos we had the most useless company known to man or beast, the girls ended up having to promote it's very existence themselves. πŸ˜’

But, anywaaaaay...
