mamamoo incoming

Hopefully it's a new year release!

Damn, I hope so too. I was wondering when they would release something new.

Gabora · Dec 28, 2017

God damnit, I really like Heart Attack! LOL

Also fuck Bono, give me girly music like Heart Attack every God damn day!

Unfortunately, try as I might, I could not find a link to a short Sana video I have, so I'll have to settle for a shitty gif...

Happy Birthday Sana!

G-Nitro · Dec 28, 2017

Going to be honest. LOONA/Chuu "Heart Attack" is a bop off the bat. First song of theirs I felt like that off the first listen....

Oh and Happy Sana Day ;)

Kodama4 · Dec 28, 2017

Happy B'day to our favourite Sanake

CrimsonMina · Dec 28, 2017

Happy Sana Day!

greenbird · Dec 28, 2017

I mentioned last year's list a while back when people were discussing RV's visuals, but The Independent Critics have now put out their 2017 list of 100 most beautiful faces. The whole idea is kind of silly to me, but I'm always intrigued by the results.

If you want to skip the video and see who made it from the Korean entertainment industry, check the spoilers below.

99 Kyulkyung
88 Park Shin-hye
69 Jessica
62 Go Ara
55 Irene
51 Suzy
40 Taeyeon
32 Lee Sung-kyung
23 Seulgi
21 Sana (Happy Birthday)
18 Jennie
15 Lisa
5 Nana
3 Tzuyu

Gabora · Dec 28, 2017

That list absolute garbage. The only name I half agree with is Lee Sung-kyung. The rest don't belong on this list specially not Jessica, or Kyulkyung, or Sana.

Edit: not saying any of those girls are ugly, far from it, but none of them are the top 100 most beautiful faces.

SolidSnakex · Dec 29, 2017

Blackpink House will debut on January 6th

Favi · Dec 29, 2017

I can't take that list seriously as well, it's very obviously made to generate clicks. But since beauty is a matter of personal opinion (after a certain point at least), I don't care too much about it.

Nana totally is one of the 100 most beautiful faces in the world though

Gabora · Dec 29, 2017

Dreamcatcher will be on After School Club on January 2nd, what a way to kick off a new year.

Deleted member 9746 · Dec 29, 2017

Red Velvet finally performed Rookie again! It's been forever. Happily Ever After was a nice treat too, but I kinda wished they performed Look instead.

And Irene strikes again. The zoom was a bit much, though.

--R · Dec 29, 2017

Dammit, I forgot the Gayo was today. How were the stages?

Its almost as if she can tell the camera dude is trying to shove the camera in her face lol

I hate Signal, but damn if that Gayo performance wasn't something else, damn

In case anyone is interested, this is a link to the Twice performance

Kalnet · Dec 29, 2017

I quite love Gayo's performances tonight.

Being a moomoo I am, I loved their performances tonight, especially Piano Man and the Medley. The medley was short but fun.

BTS blew me away as always! 'Not Today' still remains one of my all time favs this year.

RV is forever amazing! Rookie especially felt nostalgic to me after watching them performing live in person earlier this year for a fanmeet!

GFriend and Twice are great!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

It's only gonna be a single.

Minatozaki Sana · Dec 29, 2017

Happy Belated Birthday to this gen's most iconic idol Sana <3

Kodama4 · Dec 29, 2017

Signal remix

pinkurocket · Dec 29, 2017

Semi nsfw though the MV is pretty safe besides some outfits.
Queens of the fancam Laysha's new track that hadn't been posted here (I think). The song is quite strange with basically three different songs in one, but it kinda works. Something about the transitions does it for me. The production is good.

The stages were eh, but the performances were great. Since the line-up was smaller than last year, the artists invited performed a lot more songs than they usually do.

LJKO · Dec 30, 2017

GodFriend at it again ^_^

Kimchi_Breath said:
Meh, they chose to cover 'Now' out of all Fin.K.L songs. My hype was already pretty low after Irene and Seulgi had to drop out, but damn at that boring song choice.

Would of been better if they cover Fin.K.L white T_T

Kalnet · Dec 30, 2017

Since New Year Eve is tomorrow from where I'm at, I'll post my Top Korean Songs!

I'll list the remaining 50 songs that I thoroughly enjoy this year in the spoilers as well.

I've also Youtube linked each song in the list so you can give it a listen to it right away without going through to search it.

11 - 25

26 - 40

41 - 60

Pretty damn good year for Korean songs all around! Bring on 2018!

I figured my Top 25 already. It's late here, so I'll post tomorrow.

No No Eul · Dec 30, 2017

Because damn.

Gunpla is very popular with woman Korean BJs for some reason. You can very often spot one or 2 in the background of a picture or a video.

And thanks to this lady I just found out there is a ZZ version KA... I wish getting gunplas in Brazil wasn't so expensive

MHWilliams · Dec 31, 2017

And thus, I give you my Top 25.

Honorable Mention: EXO - Electric Kiss

Did a full write-up of the Top 10 over at Medium.

G-Nitro · Dec 31, 2017

Here is my final Weekly K-Pop post of 2017, and surprisingly the music this week still brings some really strong tracks. 2017 has been one of the best years of K-Pop I've seen in a long time. It created one of the hardest Top song countdowns I've ever worked on. Also one video from this week made my Top 100, which is crazy for the last week of the year. I hope everyone enjoys.

K-Pop MVs You Should Be Watching – 12/30/17 - http://g-nitro.com/k-pop-mvs-you-should-be-watching-12-30-17

I have been enjoying seeing how everyone's Top songs list differ and I haven't been disappointed. It's great to see many diverse song selections, and I hope people enjoy mine as tomorrow kicks off my Top 100 countdown. So look for songs 100 - 81 to be up tomorrow. <3

*101. LOONA/Chuu - Heart Attack
Chuu dropped too late for me to really rank it, but it would definitely place somewhere in my top 100 with a bit more time.

2017 was just a really great year for music. A bit surprised to not see my #1 on any lists yet, but I know a lot of people aren't the biggest fan of ballads. A strong year for solo releases, and they took 8 of the 12 top spots. Loona and RV dominated in sheer numbers, which I wasn't surprised by at all.

Ryan_MSF · Dec 31, 2017

I always enjoy reading through peoples end of year lists, nothing like a refresher in the stuff you've forgotten about. I was a little concerned at the beginning of the year that for me a lot of stuff wasn't immediately clicking, but it's really impressive how we came full circle and it ends on what's probably one of the strongest years in a long while.

Kalnet · Dec 31, 2017

It's 2018 from where I'm at now so...

Happy New Year KPOP ERA! Here's to all of us here and hope we'll have another wonderful year!

Cheers!

Ryan_MSF · Dec 31, 2017

Sunmi + PRISTIN? I wasn't ready for this for even a minute.

Pendulum · Dec 31, 2017

I'm so behind - just got back from holidays, now there's New Years stuff to do today, haven't watched any Gayos, made my end of year list, or paid homage to Sana - so I'll just say Happy New Year to everyone and wish everyone good music in 2018.
