[MV] Yoon Jong Shin - Fossil & Rookie



Monthly release for April.
Went digging into the obvious Shepard Fairey propaganda poster style of the MV.
Apparently Fairey is doing a big project in Seoul this month and that's where the collaboration came from. Looks great!

[MV] hyukoh - TOMBOY (+ Wanli)



+1 for the wild animation. Fire and smoke people for the win.
Been listening to Hyukoh's album today. It's really fantastic.
I'll put the Wanli video after the cut. Very cool sound. Heavy on the instrumental.
And a gorgeous video.

[MV] WE ARE THE NIGHT - Our Younger Days

[MV] Boi B (feat. Sik-K) - ADY

[DEBUT] CURV - MY ONLY



I think the rapper might be Lil Fish?

[MV] Martin Smith - Paint On Spring



Can't find much on these guys. Cute song though.
Contrary to what the name implies, they're a duo.

[MV] hyukoh - Leather Jacket



Music starts at about 1:43.
Not a fan of the MV. It's so aggressive. Lol. Obnoxious punks being obnoxious punks.
Love the song though. Nice rockabilly kinda feel.

[MV] IU - Ending Scene



Chart-wrecker IU.
I think she'll have a couple more MVs off of this album. Not sure.

[MV] SNUPER - Back:Hug



The chorus feels so much like older Infinite.

[MV] Double K (feat. Kriz) - Used To

[MV] Red Velvet - Would You (Acoustic version)



Station2 #5

SM actually released two Stations for the week. The main release (#4) is from the Stanley Clarke Band, which is pretty unexpected and cool. It's almost entirely an instrumental jazz jam session with a rap break in English.

To Be Alive:

[MV] Ulala Session - Beautiful



For some inexplicable reason this video is trending in Russia and getting bombarded with harassment and dislikes. ???????
Maybe toss it a like if you have a moment just to counter-act this weirdness.

[DEBUT] HINT - TangTangTang

[LIVE] IU with OhHyuk - Can't Love You Anymore



IU's 2nd pre-release. This came out about a week ago and it has been topping the charts for the entire time. The duo of chart-destroyers. Her album will be out in a couple days.
This is on IU's official/personal Youtube channel, which is a relatively new thing.

I live for how completely weird this video is. OhHyuk trolling. IU trolling. While simultaneously sounding spectacular. Weird IU is best IU.

[MV] SF9 - Easy Love

[MV] Yesung - Paper Umbrella

[MV] Ra.D - Day Off

[MV] MINZY (feat. Flowsik) - NINANO



Minzy's official solo debut post-2NE1.
I'm going to continue tagging CL, Dara, Bom, and Minzy with '2NE1' since the group is fully disbanded and not being re-made with new members.

[MV] LOOΠΔ / ViVi (feat. HaSeul) - Everyday I Love You



ViVi is the 5th member introduced for Loona. 7 to go.

I know they were going for a retro look in the MV, but those overexposed shots are punched up too high. Rather glaring. Lol.

[MV] LABOUM - Hwi Hwi



Liking this more than a lot of the other girl group tracks so far this year.
Nice whistles.

[OST] HA:TFELT, Bohyung & SURAN - Cross Country



Part 4 of the 'Cross Country' OST.

I think this is pretty gorgeous. Some of my favorite lady vocalists in Kpop.

[MV] Berry Good - BibbidiBobbidiBoo



Official channel link

Oh dear. This entire production feels like a huge downgrade.

[MV] DinDin - Super Super Lonely

[MV] Lee Byoung Hyeon - Bye Bye Cloud

[MV] EXP EDITION - Feel Like This



Those thesis project guys are back...
Supposedly they've been studying/working in South Korea for a while and this is a re-debut with more serious effort.

[MV] BURSTERS - Wherever You Are

[MV] Baekhyun - Take You Home



Station2 #3

[MV] Jung Hye Sun - The Dream In Dreams



Way off the beaten path. Interesting though.

[MV] Double Eight - BOOSTER



Apparently these guys released something two years ago... and nothing since?
So, I guess this could be considered their debut.

[MV] WASSUP - COLOR TV

[MV] Kisum (feat. Gilgubonggu) - Sleep Tight

[MV] The Barberettes - Spring, Bear

[MV] Jane Jang - Carmin

[MV] DAZE - Friday

[MV] Lena Park - Courting

[MV] Lee Haeri (Davichi) - PATTERN



Sometimes tracks are nearly impossible to categorize in a genre. Heh.
Pretty cool from Haeri. I'm so accustomed to straight ballads and musicals from her.

[MV] BOYS24 (Unit Black) - Steal Your Heart

[MV] Yesung - Hibernation

[MV] Kim Na Young - Being an Adult

[MV] Double K (feat. M) - Green Wave

[MV] Sweet Revenge - Fly High

[MV] Seo In-a - APDIERO



I needed some wacky trot today.

[MV] Taeyeon - Make Me Love You



Quite a grand sound.
The English lyrics are turning me off of this one.
Also, the obsessive focus on Taeyeon's face in many of her recent videos is a little... trying. A little more variety in there would help, I think. 'I Got Love' was better about this imo.

[MV] IMFACT - Tension Up

[MV] Gaeko (feat. Rap Monster) - Gajah



Official channel link

The weirdest.

[MV] URN - BORN TO BE BLUE

[MV] WINNER - REALLY REALLY



Nice dancers.
Winner's first comeback after Nam Taehyun's departure for health reasons.

[MV] WINNER - FOOL



I have a high tolerance for weird artsy videos.
But even this one is 2artsy4me.
Lol.

[MV] INX - 2GETHER
