bobby came in at the end haha so 6

the issue i have with a lot of YG songs these days is that they sound like recycled big bang and 2ne1 songs/songs that were made for those two groups that were just never put into an album, with the exception being akmu and treasure. but a lot of winner and ikon music just sounds like big bang 2.0 to me, and the same applies with blackpink and 2ne1. even though i feel that way with the song i really like it. it feels genuine and gives me major kpop 2014 vibes, and the music video does as well. ikon has grown on me with time and i feel bad for these guys, and i really feel like they are hardworking and want to achieve actual success. i am rooting for them on kingdom 100000%

I like it

YG still largely uses the same songwriters that they had in BigBang/2NE1 times. They are trying different stuff with Treasure which hasn't really worked out yet. YG also held auditions for new songwriters last year. They are clearly aware of it, but don't seem to want to go away from the koreans making songs for koreans philosophy. I personally like that approach more than just buying demos from british, swedish or american songwriters.

Nice, chill bop

wonder who this songwriter sonny is, maybe it's hanbin's new name?

its a bop, I just listened

Definitely a bop! Somehow it also feels like it could have been a Big Bang song. I get the same vibes!

edit:

lol just read the other comments about this above. I actually don't regard it as a bad thing. I think it's good that YG has a distinctive style. It's what made them succesful so far. People like it.
