[MV] Dalshabet - FRI. SAT. SUN
Official channel link
I like that quick hook melody right at the top of the chorus.
Not loving the rest. The tempo changes are interesting though!
[MV] Park Hyo Shin - Breath
Another one of those lingering Hyoshin ballads I keep playing.
Like Wild Flower.
So pretty.
[MV] RIOT KIDZ - Stereotypes
These guys have been around since 2011, I think? just super-indie.
All English, but the sound took me back to my middle school days. Like Blink 182, Sum41, early 2000s pop punk. Had to post because... nostalgia.

[MV] BTS (J-Hope) - WINGS 'Boy Meets Evil'
A lot of BTS stuff this month. I think this is just the intro track.
They all had short films leading up to this. I'll compile after the cut.

[MV] BADA X Ryeowook - Cosmic
Station #33
Apparently this was a dream collaboration for Ryeowook, which is very sweet.
He will be starting his military service on October 11th.

[MV] Song Ji Eun - Bobby Doll
Creepy!
Audio production sounds nice.
The English name of 'Bobby' is likely to avoid copyright problems with Barbie.

[MV] BTOB BLUE - Stand By Me
BtoB Blue is the first sub-unit for the group.
It's the 'vocal line' including Eunkwang, Changsub, Hyunsik, and Sungjae.

[MV] Yoo Jaesuk X EXO - Dancing King
Station #32
Been a slow week for releases due to the Chuseok holiday.
Wasn't totally sure if there would be a Station, but there is! And it has Jaesuk in it!

[MV] DIA - Mr. Potter
I feel like I just dove head-first into a pool of rainbow sherbet. XD
Harry Potter and Beatrix Potter? Kinda?

[DEBUT] Kim Juna - Summer Dream
Probably the best singer that participated in Produce 101.
I might have preferred something more R&B from her, but this is lovely.

[MV] Gain - Carnival (The Last Day)
Well, this was refreshing.
You can always expect big concepts from Gain. Does not disappoint.
Same production/writing team that worked on IU's Modern Times stuff, so if it sounds like Red Shoes there's a reason for it! I love hearing this style in Kpop.
[MV] MOBB - HIT ME and FULL HOUSE
MINO (WINNER) and Bobby (iKON) just released solo stuff and here they are as a collab duo.
This is what we call smart marketing. Lol!
MOBB (feat. KUSH) - HIT ME
MOBB - FULL HOUSE
I really like Hit Me. Super fun.

[MV] SM X BANA - Pit-A-Pat 250
Station #31
Another electro-trippy Station this week.
Immediately made me think of LiVii's recent 'Luna' sound-wise, but Luna has way more substance for me.

[MV] Red Velvet - Russian Roulette
Watch Red Velvet try to kill each other.
Lol. I like the concept. Not loving the styling though. Hair and makeup. That odd blush across the nose looks like they've all been sunburnt or recently smacked in the face.

[MV] Hitchhiker - $10
Station #30
I don't think I posted Hitchhiker's previous release because it felt too disconnected from Kpop, but since SM is throwing him on Station, I'll go right ahead. Hitchhiker is one of SM's resident producers. He's made and contributed to some huge Kpop hits, included BEG's Abracadabra.
All of the music and animation is created by him for his own work.
You're always in for a sonic/visual adventure with Hitchhiker. Lol.
Previous video: '11'
[MV] Swings - Your Soul
Good dancer, but the body paint and hair is obviously going to be discussed.
Some of the most blatant blackface I've seen in a while.
I've seen a few folks arguing that the dancer is representing a 'soul'. Well okay, but why is a soul painted black and wearing black braids?
If you're gonna go there, paint her green or blue and no hair or something not ethnically/racially connected.
Strange choice.
I wonder if it was Swings or the dancer or August Frogs who wanted it this way... ?
Later edit: The video was removed due to the blackface it seems...
