I've saved this playlist and I'm looking forward to listening throughout the week!

I actually didn't know Kep1er changed agency (although that's not really surprising, as I don't keep up with them, haha), but I've enjoyed a few of their songs in the past. I think I quite liked TIPI-TAPI from this album, but I need to check out the rest of the songs properly.

I remember liking quite a few TXT songs a few years ago, but I haven't listened to them much recently (same could be said for quite a few others in this post too, actually, so thanks for popping them all back on my radar, haha). I might have heard some of the songs from this album in other random playlists and so on, but I am definitely excited to try them properly. Also, it sounds like I need to check out their previous album! 👀

Ooh yes, Minho's album!! I was a bit surprised by how much I liked it. Came And Left Me was my fave on it, but I also really liked Affection - it seems that one was a common loved song among other friends!

I definitely have my eye on XG too - so many of their songs are so catchy! And Babymonster - I thought their songs wouldn't be my vibe, but I've actually added quite a few of their songs to my playlists now I think about it (starting with Batter Up last year, iirc).

I discovered a few CRAVITY songs I liked through one of your other posts/playlists, so I'm really looking forward to trying the songs you've added this time!

Kep1er now technically belongs to both Wakeone (as before) and Klap, with the latter handling their promotions and artistic direction. The album is so good, I hope you enjoyed the songs I included!

Oooh, I'd be so happy if I played a part in you rediscovering TXT 😁 You'll definitely see me posting a lot about them because I'm seeing them live in a week!! I liked this most recent album but the one before is one my all-time favorite albums ever, in all of kpop. This reminded me that I've been meaning to write a proper album review of that one!

Minho and Babymonster were huge surprises for me too! I need to keep my eye on them from now on, haha. And XG just keeps getting better and better with every release, I'm in awe of their creativity and talent. The CRAVITY mini album is fantastic, I hope you liked it too!

I already know you loved The8's song from your Instagram stories but my comment section/Instagram dms are always open if you want to discuss any others 🥰

Oh yes, I saw your story!! Can't wait to hear more about the concert. Plus the fact it was seated is so 🤩😂

I definitely need to check out CRAVITY's discography fully, because I think I've liked a lot of their songs from your playlists.

Haha, yesss, such a good song!! And I probably would not have discovered it without you 😄

I must admit that I didn't even listened to Jin's album even once ... I didn't enjoyed his title song and wasn't curious about the rest of the songs.

I'm realising that even tho I love BTS as a group, I don't like all of their solo projects. Everything about J-hope's new style and attitude makes me cringe a lot, for Jin I'm just not into his style. For JK I'm neutral, and for the 4 other members I'm all in !

Now for JayB. He droped his album when Ginie and I where in South Korea and it gave a huge signification to it. Like, listening to the song while riding a bus in Seoul city felt amazing !

I would have loved his album anyway, but yeah it felt even more good !

We also were in Seoul when Ateez dropped their last mini album, I enjoyed it but wasn't in the right mood to fully apriciate it. As you know, I discoverd Xdinary Heroes during our trip because Ginie got us tickets (and I will always be thankfull to her for that), so I was quite obsessed by them during the whole trip, only JayB could manage to make me listen to something else aha !

And for SKZ, I was really into them a few years ago. I still like to have some news about their work and careers but I barely listen to any of their songs now, and I also not catching up with their CB. Don't really know why. Just guess that I moved on ...

I think it's perfectly fine to not like all the solo music the members release! I’m not crazy about everything that Jin, JK, and Taehyung released but I'm all about the others' music. I struggled first when I noticed that I don't like everything the same amount but I know it doesn't make me less of an ARMY. It's the same with other groups I like, not all members' solo music will hit the same!

It must have been really special to be in Korea when JayB dropped his album 🥹 I can't even imagine! And yeah the most recent ATEEZ album definitely requires a certain mood but it did grow on me and a lot of songs became favorites.

I saw all the stories about the Xdinary Heroes concert when the two of you were in Korea and it looked really fun 😍 I like them, especially their first three mini albums, I haven't really caught up with them since. I want to see them live too someday, maybe after I checked off all my ults from my list!
