#kpopoftheweek — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #kpopoftheweek, aggregated by home.social.

  1. 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 BBGIRLS – Body Wave -- Performance Video.

    Just about everything worked for me on this old style summer song from BBGIRLS; the only part I'm not sure was a good idea is the repetitive passage in the postchorus. But if that's the price for the delightful "No hesitation...Close connection" prechorus, I'll pay up.

    The MV features lots of what I think are cameos from Korean entertainers, none of whom I recognize; I'm afraid most of the humour was lost on me. As is so often the case, I prefer the performance video. Although the choreography is nothing special, the members look great not in spite of but on account of their age; they're in their early to mid thirties, which is old only in Kpop terms. I hope to see more and more "older" idols continue performing, although I can understand that the idol lifestyle might well be less appealing at age thirty than at twenty.

  6. 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 – Pretty Girl -- Idol Booth.

    I've been following RESCENE from the very beginning, so I am delighted to see their popularity rocketing in South Korea. Their cover of Kara's "Pretty Girl" is such fun. The song's jaunty catchiness has always appealed to me, and RESCENE's voices sound good in this version.

    I'm enjoying the MV and stages, but this Idol Booth video must be my favourite so far; the overall styling charmed me, bias LIv's hair being up and bias wrecker May's hair being bobbed delighted me, and the girls' cute marching put a ribbon on it!

  11. 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 izna -- R.I.P.

    I haven't watched much Kpop this week, but I did manage to catch this nice pop rock B side from izna. Let's not get into a footwear discussion...

  16. 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 -- Lemon Tang -- Music Core 952.

    I like this, but I don't love it. In fact, it's probably my least favourite H2H title track. Nevertheless, those prechorus sections with Yuha and Stella are pure gold. The summery outfits for this stage are just right.

    Everything one might expect and want from a Kpop summer track. I was going to post the 1TheK performance video, but then I saw this stage and was taken by Seeun's bob and the pale yellows of her outfit.

  26. 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 izna – Metronome.

    What a wonderful comeback! The music clicked with me immediately, with the contrast between the two parts of the chorus being particularly striking and pleasing. I also liked that unexpected dance break. I'm going to have to learn names, as the members have nicely distinct voices. So far the only member I can name is Koko.

    I often prefer performance versions to MVs, but here the MV is a winner. The musical contrast has a satisfying analogue in the visuals; look not just at the settings, but also the hairstyles, the outfits, and the make up. Everybody in their diverse ways looks gorgeous throughout.

    Of course, the most immediately impressive part of the choreo is that for the first part of the chorus, but I must admit to being so taken with the girls dancing face to face then moving into a V formation in the second part of the first chorus (1:05 -- 1:11). The forest set dance conveys intimacy, grace, then power.

    I've played the MV umpteen times and also enjoyed the music show stages, the performance version, the Studio Choom, and the B sides. My pleasure has also had the added spice of the unexpected, because although I had liked "Racecar' and "Timebomb", "Mamma Mia", their most recent title track, grated with me. How delightful to have low expectations so decidedly surpassed!

    Unfortunately, it seems from what I read online that the clicking and purchasing public are less enthusiastic about this comeback. Let's hope sales pick up!

  31. Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that have particularly liked. This week I have chosen tripleS – BabyFlower -- Suit Dance.

    Even though I have delighted in the possibilities that large groups like LOONA or WJSN have been able to develop on account of the number of their members, the 24 strong tripleS is too big even for me. As for the Objekts, Seasons, Gravity , Cosmo and the various subunits ...no, it's all too much for me.

    Casual listener though I am, I have enjoyed a number of their releases and I like this one very much. The anime influenced sound works well and this video shows off the choreography better than do the music show stages. I love the signature "la la la" and don't care if the concluding high note owes as much to vocal processing as it does to vocal prowess.

    With regard to outfits, this suit dance provides variations on a restrained theme, a co-ordination without dull uniformity that I find appealing.

    tripleS -- Baby Flower -- Suit Dance
    youtu.be/FWOh8wKclYQ?si=NxuYYK

  32. Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that have particularly liked. This week I have chosen tripleS – BabyFlower -- Suit Dance.

    Even though I have delighted in the possibilities that large groups like LOONA or WJSN have been able to develop on account of the number of their members, the 24 strong tripleS is too big even for me. As for the Objekts, Seasons, Gravity , Cosmo and the various subunits ...no, it's all too much for me.

    Casual listener though I am, I have enjoyed a number of their releases and I like this one very much. The anime influenced sound works well and this video shows off the choreography better than do the music show stages. I love the signature "la la la" and don't care if the concluding high note owes as much to vocal processing as it does to vocal prowess.

  36. Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that have particularly liked. This week I have chosen Heart Of Woman – Told U So.

    Heart Of Woman took the bold step of debuting with a full length album, “Heart Byte Legacy”. After enjoying “Lost In Proof”, a title track with a pleasing older Kpop sound, I started listening to the album. “Told U So” immediately caught my attention. “Please let there be a performance video” I prayed, and this morning my prayer was answered. Will we be granted live performances in the coming weeks?

    If you take pleasure in European Kpop connections, go to 1:11 and hear Liuyin, who was brought up by her Chinese family in Rome, sing in Italian.

  41. 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 ITZY – Motto.

    Melodic, full of bright energy, great chorus, proper bridge, and a couple of nice ad libs as the song nears its close...what’s not to like about this comeback?

    Perhaps the MV, which I thought looked a bit of a mess; let’s not get into a discussion of the rights and wrongs of the here heavily used AI. I’m looking forward to the performance video.
