This is a wildly dizzying experience. Holy Jinsus.

Lyric video with the studio version

A bit overdue, but I should give Shaun a post. He's a member of the band The KOXX, who I love. He released a little solo project and this song, with no promotion whatsoever, trended massively and ended up topping every chart. Over a month later, it's still #1 on MelOn currently.
There were many accusations of 'sajaegi' or chart manipulation. But it's also just lovely catchy little song that can be enjoyed widely by diverse audiences. So whether there was anything cheat-y about how it got going, it has continued to trend well beyond that.

[MV] Norazo - CIDER



Reliably ridiculous Norazo.

[MV] Crush (feat. CIFIKA, Byung Un) - RYO



That was a trip.
CIFIKA's part is gorgeous.

Time-traveling multi-verse Jin on the move...

The text at the end reads:

At the end of the journey to find myself, the place I reached is, in fact, where I had already been.
In the end, what I have to find is that which is the beginning of all things, the milestone: the map of the soul.
That which is with anyone, but cannot be found by simply anyone, I seek to begin searching for it from now. (translation: @doyou_bangtan)

[MV] LOOΠΔ - favOriTe




In the description:
"At its maximum power for the first time, LOOΠΔ's lead single 'favOriTe' declares the signature sound of LOOΠΔ at its complete form."
The hype!
This is a pre-release track, but it's the first official release with all 12 members. Exciting! I can't believe it has been almost two years since I posted the first solo and wondered how the scope of this project would be possible, but here we are! I dig the track. I always love super-percussive stuff.

[MV] KISUM - 100%

[DEBUT] First Bite - Move Over



You might recognize these kids if you've seen those huge dance cover challenge videos at Kpop conventions. Eddie is kind of a legend in that scene already. I believe they're all Americans.
