Thank you for your through article again.

I'm curious about something, you mentioned and I've seen it mentioned elsewhere as well, 5th gen kpop, what would that mean in relation to earlier gens, how it's different and do you know how it started or who belongs to 5th gen?

I'm with you on disappointment if groups release only singles for a long time and the album is then a compilation of those singles. I think they're trying to follow how it's done in the west?? Although.. I'm not that familiar with how western musicians do it. 1-2 songs of a single is always a bit of a disappointment though.

I think it's quite nice to stretch summer out a little bit longer! This post is a nice way to remind me of that time, haha.

Ahh, A.C.E! I have a friend on Twitter who really loves them, so most of what I know about them is via that route, haha. I've listened to a few of their songs but definitely need to try more. All the guys seem so fun, and Junhee in particular - his face is so expressive, I love it!

I am going to have to check out She A Wolf! I have a certain fondness for wolves thanks to my all-time favourite character, Nighteyes, so I would love to hear about these other wolfy K-pop songs, haha. Off the top of my head, I know ONEUS' Leader and Mr. Wolf 😆

I remember my Shawol friend showing me Key's Tongue Tied, but I don't remember it being Japanese?! But, then again, I am known for listening to songs in English from K-pop artists and then realising after like the fifth listen that all the lyrics are English, haha 💀

"Unnatural and Bad Blood are both heavy on Latin music" - uhhhh, I will definitelyyy have to listen to these Eunbi songs, then!! 😍

I added your playlist to my library - I'm excited to listen!
