Another #KpopMonday , another theme, #4MinutesPlus , hence yet another occasion to thank @Erzbet for pulling this together,
Thanks also to @girlbandgeek for devising the thingumajig that compiles the #KpopMonday playlists.
I decided that my selection would have to be a song that I have never posted here before, which meant that lots of longer songs I like a lot were not eligible.
I'm sure I haven't posted this one before:
Oh My Girl -- Secret Garden
https://youtu.be/Lznx5A7fNto?si=vJVP-rmKVzSUFyX9I love the lush instrumental sound here. I miss "dreamy" OMG!

BINI -- Blush -- Coachella 2026
https://youtu.be/qoFd0oT6llE?si=u3DuE5DvJEPo_ohMI've seen some of the publicity boosting BINI, but I'd like to know more about their popularity in the Philippines and the place of P-pop in Filipino culture.
Is Kpop as popular now in the Philippines as it has been in the past? Or is Kpop now beginning to be eclipsed in popularity by Filipino idol pop?
Is P-pop on the verge of a global breakthrough?

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen RESCENE – Runaway -- Just Dance -- Genie .
One of the things I love about Kpop is its sheer abundance. Not only do lots of groups release lots of music with a frequency that makes the western pop industry look miserly, but most releases will have, on account of music show performances, dance practice videos , and so on, a multiplicity of versions.
So after my last week's posting of the RESCENE -- Runaway MV as #KpopOfTheWeek and midweek postings of music show stages, I come now to this wonderful video in which the simplicity of set and styling allow the group to engage us to the full through their dancing.
The original MV was one that I enjoyed because of its dream like blend of school story and fantasy. Yet I also like this performance video for the reason that I so often enjoy videos of this type; they allow me to pull away from the specifics of narrative and concept and be enchanted instead by the sight and sound of performance.
The outfits facilitate this enchantment, and I am relieved that this video shows the girls not to be under the heel of the #BigClumpyBoot lobby!

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen RESCENE – Runaway.
Although this past week I have been enjoying Kpop from a number of groups, the song that stands out to me is the RESCENE comeback.
From the opening guitar and synthesizer, through the contrasting first and second choruses, to that emancipated dance break in the forest just before they head out to see the sun rise -- everything about this MV is magical!
RESCENE -- Runaway

#KpopMonday #5thGenerationKpop
@euphoricaster posted an ARTMS track, so here is another post-LOONA release, Loossemble -- TTYL.
This was Loossemble's best title track. Sadly, it was also their last; they never did talk to us later.

Thanks to @Erzbet for bringing us up to #5thGenerationKpop for #KpopMonday
Your organizing efforts are much appreciated.One 5th generation group I must promote is RESCENE. Here they are in a performance of one of my favourite B sides that shows off their vocals well. They look adorable too!
RESCENE – Pinball -- dingo live

NiziU -- Too Bad
https://youtu.be/b_GqrwmptWo?si=2XpCHzcrymysRrc4Although Nick James of thebiaslist.com, whose pop music taste is not a million miles away from mine, was decidedly lukewarm about this track in his weekly Jpop round up, I must say I love it - it's a great piece of dance pop. It's catchy, with a beat that you just have to move to, and in the final chorus there is ad libbing and a kick in of percussion to make the whole track satisfying.
The MV works well too. It's crammed with detail, so worth replaying with pauses, but doesn't seem cluttered; the co-ordination of colour and outfits helps keep it together. The choreography, executed with the help of back up dancers, is as good as that of a Kpop group.
In fact, this MV exists in that sweet spot where Korean and Japanese idol pop meet. I love it, I love it, I love it!

Where would be without @Erzbet organizing #KpopMonday ?
Thank you for choosing the #3rdGenerationKpop theme. This generation marks the time when I started to dive deep into Kpop.
Here are WJSN with a favourite B side. "Cantabile" is interesting to listen to, has a rap from Exy that I enjoy, and features nice vocals as well as some "cosmic" instrumentation reminiscent of "Save Me, Save You".
If that isn't enough, everybody looks so pretty.
All in all, "Cantabile" is just my style of Kpop!

For #1stGenerationKpop , here is S.E.S with this delightful disco track:

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen Hearts2Hearts – Rude.
Loved everything about the chorus and Carmen and Ye-on's parts. In general I enjoy the bouncy, ultimately disco derived house sound. I wish they had gone a little lighter on the rap and I am afraid that Stella's English passage was a painful reminder that I am not in the target market.
The MV has a lot going on but does not feel cluttered to me. Lots of great outfits, but my favourites were the tennis dresses.
Overall, I liked "Rude" a lot and can see why this bright sound works for them; it works for this fan too!
Yet I must say that I hope that they will return at some point to the more mysterious atmosphere of "The Chase".
No doubt when it comes to my opinion though, SM couldn't even care less...

How beautiful they look!
I must say, though, that if I had not already known how Dayoung ( second from right) looks now from her last September's very Californian solo debut "Body", I would not have recognized her. Compare with a picture from a couple of years ago...

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen Fifty Fifty – Wish You Were Here.
Unlike many men of my age, I have never treasured the original Pink Floyd song as an especially meaningful all time favourite; I quite like it, but it's never occurred to me to think of 'Wish You Were Here" as outstanding in any way.
The Fifty Fifty cover, on the other hand, has impressed me. I much prefer the instrumentation here, but above all the girls' timbres, ad libs, and harmonies make this version strike sympathetic chords within me in a way that the original has never done.
I hope Fifty Fifty continue with songs like this, "Gravity", or "When You Say My Name" -- that is, material which allows them to show off their vocal talents to their best advantage. As well as finding them pretty and charming, I like their singing so much that I feel I must support them even if come out with songs like "Skittles" that I do not care for at all.

Thank you @Erzbet for coming up with #DesertsAndOases as a theme for #KpopMonday
"Oasis" is a catchy little summer song released in 2022 by a nugu duo that no longer exists. Those familiar with British English will smile at the pronunciation of "oasis"; I'm sure that Koreans would be similarly amused by what I sing in the shower.
1CHU -- OASIS

I posted the other day about how unsatisfied I have been by Kpop releases so far this year.
I should qualify this complaint.
In the first place, I recognize that we are not far into the year and that my complaining shows how I have been spoiled by the industry's flood of releases at other times of the year.
More importantly, I should note how much I have been struck by dodree -- Just Like A Dream. It's a new sound in Kpop. Whether the song signals a new direction or is just a quirky one-off remains to be seen. Anyway, I like it!
dodree join NMIXX as a JYP girl group with strong vocals and a readiness to be musically adventurous. I am not a company stan, but JYP deserves credit for nourishing these groups as well as a range of other girl group sounds and styles: TWICE, Itzy, NiziU...Although Girlset got off on the wrong foot and have so far been overshadowed by Katseye, perhaps they will come into their own with the long term commitment a big agency can afford to offer.
As I said, I am not a company stan, and I am aware as I write this of stories about the trainee Momo attempting to quench her hunger by eating ice and similar rumours and allegations of mistreatment . Alas, JYPE is hardly unique in this respect.

The prospect of this and the WJSN comeback on the 25th are keeping my Kpop spirits up in what I have otherwise found to be an unsatisfying year so far.

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen ARTMS -- Butterfly Effect.
This fancam from Cologne of one of my favourite ARTMS songs (starts at 46:17) makes me think that I should go see Kpop live...but then this fancam has been shot from such an advantageous spot that I wonder if my actual experience would be an anticlimax.
I derive so much pleasure from the performance and visual aspects of Kpop, which makes it interesting to compare my response to this performance of "Butterfly Effect" with my feelings towards...

I refuse to sign up for the "full experience" on Instagram, so this screenshot will have to suffice.
I like the way Eunha looks both pretty and pensive here.

WJSN -- WW
https://youtu.be/1d2oJUT4m7o?si=LyEDcmvEcV9rq_mNI think the "WW" stands for the song's "uwa uwa ". I'll have to get back to you about the meaning of "uwa uwa"...
Great intro, quirky verses, an infectious chorus, Exy's rap - a super song from e.one.
I wonder if repeating "uwa uwa" could bring about a WJSN comeback.

RESCENE (Zena, Liv, Minami) -- ‘MVP’ Live Performance
https://youtu.be/lviLSHBntGQ?si=cDxTKgZm0igQgQHC -
Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen H1--KEY -- Not Like A Movie.
Although I enjoyed the rock sound that this group have had on their last couple of title tracks, I prefer to hear them on a mid-tempo track like this, as I feel this type of song shows off their vocals to the best advantage.
This song came out towards the end of December but does not seem to have received much attention subsequently. Perhaps the agency should have ensured that the song title is immediately visible in English on the YouTube MV to facilitate exposure beyond Korea.
Yel, the one with the ponytail, is my current H1-KEY bias, but this could all change by next week!
