The melody of the first verses is so MBLAQ's 'Stay' chorus. Was wracking my brain trying to remember what it reminded me of and someone mentioned it on Reddit. Yep! But then the main chorus here also reminds me of something I can't figure out. I swear it's like a Kelly Clarkson song... or P!NK... or maybe Younha? I think it's a western artist though. Something that got a lot of mainstream play, but I probably never knew the name of. That's gonna drive me nuts.

[MV] DAYOUNG (WJSN) - body
Cybertruck at the beginning notwithstanding, fun energetic choreo! Like SISTAR or Hyolyn fun summer tracks.
[OST] Dynamicduo, TEAM BOSS - BOSS
Not sure of the full context, but I believe "BOSS" is a film that will come out around Chuseok next month. This is a track on the OST. It's a collaboration between Dynamicduo and the main actors in the film who are known as 'Team Boss' together. Jo Woojin, Jung Kyungho, Park Ji-hwan, and Lee Kyuhyung.
[MV] TDYA - Keep The Light
This was meant to be a temporary project group in the context Korea's 80th Liberation Day celebrations. The group was formed with HyunJin of Loossemble/LOONA, MIRANI the rapper, Amy Park from 1MILLION dance studio, and FRIENDSHIPING who is a livestreamer. Interesting project.

[DEBUT] iii - Forbidden Midnight (Real ver.)
Kind of an odd situation. 'This' group debuted a couple years ago with this track, but they've since had a complete line-up change and now are... debuting again? I remember the original MV had super intense filters that made them all look quite uncanny. This is a little better in that regard.

[MV] Stray Kids - CEREMONY
This video is so wild. Lol. Stray Kids has typically not been my jam at all, but I have a ton of appreciation for the lane they've carved out visually and sonically.
[MV] HUS / Humming Urban Stereo (feat. CHUU) - BBB
The actress in the MV is MIO/Mihee who was in the group BOTOPASS.

[MV] CORTIS - GO!
New BigHit boy group. This is a pre-debut release. I believe their concept is to be largely self-produced, which is kinda interesting.
[MV] idntt unevermet - You Never Met + Storm + BOYtude
Another giant MODHAUS project group like tripleS. This is the first debuting subunit.
[MV] TaeLet - Ecstatic Confession
I have no idea what's happening here, but I'm posting it out of appreciation for this ballet/taekwondo performance mash-up in the video. It loops a few times in the middle there to fill out time. Lol. Really fun.

[DEBUT] XngHan&Xoul - Waste No Time
XngHan was previously known as Seunghan and a member of RIIZE. Got dropped from the group due to personal life drama/rumors. Debuting with/as a dance crew with Xoul. So almost like a SeoTaiji and Boys kinda thing.

[MV] WOODZ - Smashing Concrete
Photosensitivity warning! Nice warning in the video too. Mild stuff about a minute in and then about 2 minutes in it gets intensely flashy/strobe-y. Careful!
[MV] Son E Ji U - Korean Dream: Come, O Glorious Light!
Epic song with excellent singers to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Korean liberation. The vocalists are Son Seung Yeon (Sonnet Son), Lee Ye Joon, Ji Se Hee, and U Sung Eun. Hong Dae Sung was the composer/lyricist. And also the Seoul Grand Philharmonic Orchestra and the National Chorus of Korea, of course!

[DEBUT] CrazAngel - I'm Just Me
Edit later: Came back to this after realizing it was a cover/remake of this My Name is Red-Haired Anne song. Such an odd choice to cover a track like this for a debut. Interesting.

[OST] LE SSERAFIM - Kawaii (Eng.)
The theme song for a Sanrio stop-motion animation series 'My Melody & Kuromi' (Netflix).

Pre-debut release. A couple of these guys are North Korean defectors. I believe that's a first in the industry.
