MaltheaI thought I'd join @AllonsyMelissa and do the 30 Day Kpop Challenge
Day 1
A song that got you into kpop
I was a super casual listener of kpop to start, but the first song I remember is Sorry Sorry by Super Junior
SUPER JUNIOR 슈퍼주니어 '쏘리 쏘리 (SORRY, SORRY)' MV
I got distracted and forgot to post yesterday, oops!
Day 2
Favourite kdrama OST
This is my fav mostly because of really good memories associated with it
Take by JUS2
He is Psychometric OST
[사이코메트리 그녀석 OST Part 1] Jus2 (저스투) - TAKE MV
Day 3
A song you once set as an alarm
I haven't actually set a song as an alarm since I was in college so I have to adjust this slightly to a song I might use as an alarm
Shut Down by Blackpink
BLACKPINK - ‘Shut Down’ M/V
Day 4
A song by a rapper
I will never be over this song
Golden Hour by Mark Lee
https://youtu.be/EUsUqd20c_k?si=Gq2Q35v_LZkKZ5Hs
For anyone not aware the story behind this, Mark is terrible at cooking eggs. Years back he butchered cooking eggs on a live and a fan screenshot the disaster and sent a tweet to Gordon Ramsay claiming her bf had cooked and Gordon replied to get back on tinder. The fandom went silly of course and it made its way back to Mark
[STATION : NCT LAB] MARK 마크 'Golden Hour' MV
Day 5
A girl group song
Thousands of possibilities here, how to pick?
I've decided to go with one of the only songs on my 2023 fav playlist from a girl group that *wasn't* Aespa
Slay - Everglow
https://youtu.be/jI5p2ePoVcc?si=kbaNn9pFdWEUx8af
EVERGLOW (에버글로우) - SLAY MV
Day 6
A song you love because of its lyrics
Better Days - SuperM
https://youtu.be/AoTtwJxNOeE?si=lqD1inlt-5c22-n_
The song was much needed hope in covid lockdowns, but even just on a regular day its a good reminder that the dark will pass
SuperM 슈퍼엠 'Better Days' @Super 'One' Year with SuperM
Day 7
A song that you found the choreo is easy
Tbh I've never actually tried learning any kpop choreos, so I've no idea how hard or easy any of them would be for me but this one looks easy
Red Flavor - Red Velvet
https://youtu.be/k6280PYxpTU?si=kQ-0PM9qsiGO2cvr
[Red Velvet - Red Flavor] KPOP TV Show | M COUNTDOWN 170720 EP.533

Favourite Debut song
I have to go with 7th Sense by NCT U because what even was this for a debut! Still love it
NCT U 엔시티 유 '일곱 번째 감각 (The 7th Sense)' MV
Day 9
A song you will never get tired of
(My answer to this wants to be Domino by WayV, but that's cpop, so consider it a bonus answer)
Run For Roses by NMIXX
NMIXX “Run For Roses” Performance Video

Zoo by Taeyong, Giselle, Jeno, Hendery, YangYang

A song from a group with more than 9 members

Day 16
A song you like because of its mv
Work It by NCT U
https://youtu.be/Un7choIyl_g?si=bbaJAz6QJ-Q8K0MM
I was not sold on this song at all until I saw the mv
NCT U 엔시티 유 'Work It' MV
Day 17
A Japanese song from an idol group
I tend to really love Japanese tracks released by kpop idols but I'm going with my fav GOT7 Japanese song, Bibouroku
https://youtu.be/JFys7spCaTo?si=B9SAVucRG3cO36SH
Love Loop album is so good, really
Bibouroku
Day 18
A song you would recommend to a non-kpop fan
Anything by Ten? Lol
I prefer to make recommendations based on the person's existing music tastes, but for a generic intro I'd probably go with something like Super Shy by New Jeans. It's fairly representative of the catchy pop sound in kpop, without being abrasive to non-kpop fans
https://youtu.be/ArmDp-zijuc?si=zaVldOcLm5oUW8sP
(APT. is currently a good one to use as well)
NewJeans (뉴진스) 'Super Shy' Official MV
Day 19
Favourite song from a sub-unit
Technically a Japanese song but my fav song from Jus2 is Toiki
https://youtu.be/zwiXe17fHi4?si=edwSIv7Rl8I9bomX
I'm not sure why it wasn't on their Korean album. Too sexy for Koreans?
Toiki
Day 20
First song that comes up on shuffle
I went with my liked songs, since that's 813 songs. First song it played is Do Or Die by AleXa
AleXa (알렉사) – "Do Or Die" Official MV

Day 23
A song you regret knowing about it late
Bammie distracted me yesterday and I forgot to post!
I don't think I've ever really listened to something and thought "why didn't I check this out sooner?!"
I did regret not getting into GOT7 sooner.
So here's a song I found well after it was released
Sunmi - Full Moon
https://youtu.be/8BBF3vRY85M?si=7QColxwfG-w-vWZY
Sunmi(선미) "Full Moon(보름달)" M/V
Day 24

I'm so torn between several songs but since Bammie distracted me yesterday I'll go with
Who Are You by Bambam ft Seulgi
뱀뱀 (BamBam) 'Who Are You (Feat. 슬기 of Red Velvet)' Performance Video

A song you exercise to
