[MV] CHANYEOL - Good Enough

[MV] Xdinary Heroes - PLUTO

[MV] KINGDOM - COUP D'ETAT

[DEBUT] YOUNG POSSE - MACARONI CHEESE

As someone who hates cheese... this is my nightmare. It literally nauseated me. LOL.

At least I hate the song too, so it all works out.

[MV] Kep1er - TAPE

[MV] The Kid LAROI, Jungkook, Central Cee - TOO MUCH (Eng.)

Jungkook is just on the choruses and background vocals. Sounds like his natural voice without the standard BigHit compression. Smooth and pretty! Not super into the song otherwise, but it's chill.

[MV] NCT NEW TEAM - Hands Up (Jpn.)

Pre-debut release. They don't have a name yet.

[MV] SUPERKIND - Beam me up (Jpn., Eng., Kor.)

[MV] QWER - Discord

[MV] Balming Tiger - Moving Forward

Weird and fun.

[MV] Sung Si Kyung, NAUL - Even for a moment

[MV] Paul Kim - Don't be mad

[DEBUT] SORA - HIT THE ROAD

Formerly in BULLDOK. I think she's released stuff before, but this seems to be a proper solo debut.

[DEBUT] YOU DAYEON - down down down

Formerly in LipBubble.

[MV] MRCH - Lovers

[MV] GIFT - Reunion

[MV] JUNGSOOMIN (feat. PAK HYEON JIN) - Sunset

[MV] Jin Hae Sung - For Love

[MV] Unbalance - NEVER

[MV] Min Soo Hyun, Kim Jung Yeon, Park Min Su, Gong Hoon - Nice Man

[MV] SUNMI - STRANGER

When a Frankenstein-y track actually seems appropriate as a concept. LOL.
Too disjointed for me, but the MV is a treat.

[MV] Queenz Eye - THIS IS LOVE

Quite strong.

[DEBUT] Jay Chang - I'll Be There & Rockstar

Solo debut. He participated in the Under Nineteen and Boys Planet shows and just missed being in Zerobaseone. He's also in M.O.N.T Arena.

[DEBUT] QWER - Harmony of stars

[MV] Lee Seok Hoon - Lasting Scent

[MV] Giriboy - Part-time Job

[REMAKE] Adios Audio - Flowering Plant

From the Sanullim 50th Anniversary Collaboration Album.

[MV] TENGGER - Panaptu

[MV] IVE - Baddie

Not feeling this one. Much more 'Kitsch' adjacent.

[MV] TXT - Chasing That Feeling

[MV] Lee Hyori - HOODIE E BANBAJI

Good to see Hyori active again!

[MV] Rothy - Something Casual

[MV] Jang Woo Hyuk - I feel Hope

[MONTHLY] Favorites for SEPTEMBER 2023

Another month I enjoyed! On top we've got APOKI doing very typical catchy APOKI things with 'Space'. I finally put together that her voice reminds me of U Sung Eun, whom I love. Took me way too long to figure that out. I guess I shouldn't assume it's her for the fantasy, but... making bangers regardless!

Then it's the very violent 'Top or Cliff' by God Sejeong. The MV is quite the spectacle, but I also do love the song. That really heavy beat and yearning vocals. Nicely dramatic.

In the full post: RIIZE, Eien/MERENDE, g0nny/SHIRT, PURPLE KISS, Forestella, TRENDZ, BLACKSWAN, KEY, Hur Youngji, JUNG YONG HWA, TXT/Anitta, Loossemble, D.O, BIG Naughty, Rolling Quartz, YUJU, An Shinae, Hoody, FANTASY BOYS, IVE, Kep1er, TOUCHED, and Billlie.

[MV] ID:Earth - Stars

[MV] HOSON (feat. Haeong) - FLY

[MV] ANTHONY (feat. daisy) - Bar

[MV] CHUU - Underwater

Pre-release for Chuu's proper solo debut after LOONA. Good to see her active after defeating the evil that was Blockberry Creative. Lol.

[MV] Ailee (feat. Lil Cherry) - RA TA TA

[MV] tripleS EVOLution - Invincible

[MV] PENTAGON - With UNIVERSE

7 year anniversary for Pentagon. They'll be leaving Cube Ent., but I think they intend to stick together and keep the group going.

[MV] Xdinary Heroes - Break the Brake

[MV] JUST B - MEDUSA

[PROMO] BIG Naughty - Rock The Cup

Anthem for esports team Gen.G at the League of Legends World Championship.

[DEBUT] JINI (feat. Aminé) - C'mon

Solo debut after leaving NMIXX. Haven't listened through the full album yet, but what I heard sounded pretty good so far.

[MV] Kep1er - Tropical Light

[MV] Lim Young Woong - Do or Die

Kinda flashy. Lots of light effects throughout.

Pretty funny to see Youngwoong do a club banger. Really cracked me up when he did this beautiful live ballad at the Fact Music Awards yesterday and then performed this fully lip-syncing. Almost like it's really freakin' hard to sing while you're dancing even if you have one of the best voices in the industry!

[MV] ITZY - Sugar-holic (Jpn.)

[MV] HWASA X Street Woman Fighter 2 - Chili

[REMAKE] JUNIEL - Three things I want to give you

Remake of Park Hye Kyung's song of the same name from the early 00s.

[MV] The Rose - Wonder (Eng.)

[MV] BewhY - Holy Toast

[MV] BOBBY - f

Big flash warning for photosensitive viewers! Pretty intense. Also some artsy gore/violence.

[MV] Song So Hee - Asurajang

Cool traditional fusion. A little heavier on pop than her previous releases that I've heard.

[MV] JK Kim Dong Uk - Better

[DEBUT] JUNGSOOMIN - With You

[MV] BÉBE YANA - Vision Getting Blurred

[MV] Big Mama - Happy Me

[MV] NCT 127 - Fact Check

[MV] IVE - Off The Record

[MV] (G)I -DLE - I Want That (Eng.)

Content warning for implied domestic abuse? Some blood and gun violence.

Cool, kinda different sound. Can't get on board with the lyrics though.

[MV] ONF - Love Effect

[MV] Billlie - BYOB (bring your own best friend)

[MV] ONEUS - Baila Conmigo

[MV] DAWN - Heart

[MV] Jungkook (feat. Jack Harlow) - 3D (Eng.)

I prefer the music here compared to 'Seven', but it's still very basic Top40 American radio. Can't stand Harlow's part at all. Those lyrics... yuck. There's a [Jungkook only version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXqNiVJJ2s8) at least.

[MV] CHEEZE - The Day After You

[MV] XG - PUPPET SHOW (Eng.)

[MV] ITZY - RINGO (Jpn.)

[MV] TOUCHED - Night View

Flashy light at the start and throughout the second half.

[MV] Oh HyunWoo - Eclipse

[MV] Shin Yujin (LEENALCHI) - Silk

I think LEENALCHI actually disbanded earlier in the year. A shame! But good to hear Shin Yujin on her own.

[MV] HONG JIYUN - The scent of life

[MV] Min Soo Hyun, Kim Jung Yeon, Park Min Su, Gong Hoon - Life Goes On
