As It's Technically the 10th in South Korea...
I never thought that when I got into K-Pop (thanks to Sammi) that I would ever find a group that I'd enjoy more than anything. When I found Ateez I was floored, they saved me from a dark place and everything. Never did I think I'd find a group that meant more to me than them..
and then....I discovered Up10tion. Never did I find a group that touched me more than them. Their lyrics, their vocals, their chemistry, everything. I always tell people you can't bias just one. And it's true. Each and every member of Up10tion touches you in a way that you just cannot let go. Hwanhee and Xiao with their unbreakable friendship and chaotic energy, Bit-to and Kuhn with their amazing father like qualities and deep voices, the motherly kindness and gentle heart of Jinhoo (depsite the crap he was put through), Wooseok's heart and how hurt he was that Jinhoo didn't make it with him into Produce. Kogyeol and Gyujin's friendship, I always thought that Gyujin was quiet and didn't talk much, but the more I watch he's completely opposite, always taking care of the others. Kogyeol looks like an actor, he's tall, dark and handsome. Yet his vocals and his beautiful eyes are unmistakeable. And then, there's Sunyoul. The one idol who can sing and make me cry without hesitation. His voice soothes and touches your soul in ways that can't be explained.
I've only been into K-Pop since feb 2020 and I am hooked. Sure I stan many groups but none have touched my heart the way Up10tion has. For 7 years they have made some of the best music my ears have had the pleasure of listening to. Torn apart because of Top Media yet still out there doing them. Writing their own music, at least most of it, composing and even arranging. Watching Xiao grow up from this quirky youngster to this amazing writer has been a blessing.
Here are my favorite MV's they have come out with
That's pretty much everything right? I know...how can you not love their TT'S?

Discography:
Many Honey10's are on edge as we don't know if the 7 year mark is the end of their contract, and if so whether they will renew or not, as it's obvious that Top Media sucks. But we aren't here to be negative. Let's appreciate the hard work, the beautiful music, and beautiful members of Up10tion.
If you haven't checked them out do it now! They deserve the world!
