[MV] Kim Bum Soo - I LOVE YOU
BumSoo will be releasing 20 songs to celebrate 20 years in the industry. This is the first.
The guy lip-syncing in the MV is Han Hyun Min, the first of African (and Korean) descent to be a runway model in South Korea, which is pretty cool!
[MV] The Rose - BABY
Realized I had somehow skipped over posting this one even though I love it and have been playing it constantly!
[MV] Sunwoo JungA & The Barberettes - Outside the Chart
I wish I could find a good English translation for this. From what I've gleaned from Google translate it seems quite hilarious/cheeky. A member of The Barberettes left recently to pursue other things, so I was thrilled to see them team up with JungA.

[MV] Hyolyn (feat. GRAY) - Dally
Heed the thumbnail for the level of NSFW-ness.
I'm confident Hyolyn is in control of her own artistic destiny now that she has her own label, so I'm happy to support this. Great dancing. It's filmed well. It's sexy without cutting up her body parts with just shots of T&A. You get to see her as a full performer. That's what I care about.

[MV] SOYA - OASIS
I like this a lot, but that one percussion sound (wood tone block?) lags just slightly too long after the beat, and it's annoying me. Lol.

[MV] Drunken Tiger - Yet.
Been a while since the last Tiger!
Instrumental is super interesting to me.
I think Ann One and BIBI are also in the backing.

[MV] Super Junior (feat. Leslie Grace) - Lo Siento
Intriguing collab.
I might need a Latin rhythm tag at some point.
Despacito trend kicking in real hard.

[MV] TWICE - What is Love?
Oh hey, one of my favorite Kpop videos of all time just came into being!
LOL! Seriously it's great though. So fun.
The references don't stop coming. ... And they went full gay culture. ♥
[MV] JK Kim Dong Uk - Reminder & Pray For Love
A couple of big gorgeous ballads.
I like the gospel feel of Pray For Love.
[DEBUT] NOIR - GANGSTA
Quite a noisy track, but a decent debut.
Three members of the group were on Produce101.

[MONTHLY] Favorites for MARCH 2018
March was relatively packed post-Olympics, but many of the big-hitters fell flat for me. Lots of unexpected or lesser-known artists caught my ear.
My two top picks: J-Hope's whole mixtape put a huge smile on my face. Feel-good music. Daydream got me with its hyper-saturated colors and Hitchhiker's Guide references. So fun.
And Sojung's soft sentimental ballad Stay Here had me transported to some ethereal space.
In the full post: Ann One, Wanna One, MINSEO, MAMAMOO, Heize, NCT, CHEETAH, WOOGIE, Yoon Jong Shin, Honey Popcorn, Cha Eun Joo, Samuel, San E, Olivia Hye, EXID, and Super Junior.

[MV] BTS - Euphoria : Theme of LOVE YOURSELF 起 Wonder
Euphoria is featured from 3:00 to 5:30 and during the end credits.
The classical piece is Claire de Lune.
So this is all kinda of complicated, but as far as I can gather, this piece is the equivalent of HYYH's 'Prologue'. It's Part 1 of the whole Love Yourself series and is basically just this video with Jungkook's solo song Euphoria featured in it. This is extending the big cinematic narrative even more. This is NOT the intro for the next album/comeback.
To understand more of what's going on here, I'll recommend some fan compilations. The 1st is the full cinematic experience, but doesn't include the newest material. The 2nd one is the easiest to digest. The 3rd shows the repetition and parallels between Euphoria and all the previous material.

[CF] YDPP - LOVE IT LIVE IT
Official channel link
Yet another Produce101 season 2 project group. Probably a collab with Pepsi.
Trying to figure out what this reminds me of. The track is giving me Talking Heads or something from that era.
[MV] TVXQ! - Love Line
They know their fan demographic has aged into fantasies of blissful domesticity. Lol.
Love Line is probably my favorite track on the album. Quite different sounding than anything DBSK ever did before, including when they were 5.

[MV] OH MY GIRL BANHANA - Banana allergy monkey
Official channel link
This sub-unit has Hyojung, Binnie, and Arin on the song.
Definitely filling a bit of the Orange Caramel void.
