Sounds like ENHYPEN will join BTS and TXT in the excessively pitch-corrected vocals department. Seems like they're going a little darker than TXT in overall aesthetic and sound.

[MV] BTS - Life Goes On
I sobbed.
Been a hard fucking year.
This is the happiest I've been with a Bangtan album since YNWA. That issue I've had with the vocal production on the last few albums is less absolute on BE. It's definitely still there, but there are more times when it's gone entirely. I still hear excessive pitch correction on Fly To My Room and Telepathy (and Dynamite). But Blue & Grey is a ballad and it's very minimal there. Might be my favorite on the album. And then Dis-ease and Stay have certain phrases heavily tuned, but the rest is normal. I recommend Dis-ease the most to anyone missing the oldschool Bangtan sound. Also Stay... which is closer to Wings vibes.
And other than Suga's verse, Life Goes On has relatively raw vocals. Very tolerable for me and I love love love it. It's the most lowkey BTS lead track. Only Just One Day and Spring Day are in the same ballpark. The video kinda destroyed me. It's really beautiful. Jungkook's direction is very him. Very GCF.
Pleased!
[MV] WOOGIE (feat. ROMderful & punchnello) - PARADISE

[DEBUT] aespa - Black Mamba
There's so much going on in this MV that it's kind of distressing. The whole project with the AI characters and all that... has also distressed me.

Still a trip to see DBSK's maknae all grown up and getting married and stuff.

[MV] GFRIEND - MAGO
Just gonna keep riding this retro train for as long as it lasts.
Also props to the one doing the pole-work (Yuju?). Strong effort! She looked great.

[MV] XIA - Pit A Pat
Junsu managed to peel himself away from the theater for two seconds, grow a mullet, and release a classic pop track. You're lucky you're my ult with that hair, dude! Lol. Seems like most of the songs on the upcoming album are ballads, so this is some nice standard pop-Junsu fare. Feels a lot like Incredible or Rock The World.

[MV] CL - +H₩A+
Wasn't sure how different the performance video (below) would be from the full version, but now that we have full version I'll just put them both in the same post.
[MV] GEMINI - Going & Broken Love
Liking this a lot. I think this is his debut? Not sure. Can't find much info.
He also released 'Broken Love', which is like half'n'half English/Korean.

[DEBUT] PRISMA - Breakout
The first version of the MV was released a week prior, but had issues and "This version contains enhanced visuals and remastered audio."
So... this is the... better... audio. Ahem. Sorry, ladies.
[MV] THE MIDNIGHT ROMANCE - Nightmare
Retro Halloween vibes. Kinda sounds like The Cure, which doesn't happen much with Korean music. Fun!
[MV] Woo Hye Mi - Heaven
This is from her posthumous album. Man, I'm going to miss her work so much.
What a fabulous voice and energy. :(
