Has any idols solo music shocked or surprised you?

    I never expected Yuqi to do inspirational rock song for her solo (I never expected her to debut that fast neither) I was so positively shocked. This was before (G)I-dle started doing some rock songs too.

    She was supposed to be the more "cute" member before this

    Jackson's solo releases have really surprised me. They're so varied and some of his concepts are pretty unusual. I feel like he could have played things safe and leaned into an image that relied on his looks and being cool, but he has shown a real artistic side and clearly had a vision. I love it.


    I don't know if this really qualifies, but I was surprised by Baekhyun. I was just getting into EXO when I came across City Lights. I hadn't really paid that much attention to Baekhyun in the Exo songs that I had heard. I was leaning more towards Chen, DO, and Chanyeol. But that City Lights album straight blew me away. I couldn't believe how good it was or how right up my alley it ended up being and his vocals were sublime. I became Baekhyun biased immediately and have never looked back.

    The first time I watched the MV I thought awesome! Then I realized how bad it actually was. The song was a perfect fit for Bomi, but terrible fit for Chorong. It doesn't fit into Apink's Discography at all. I'm not against switching it up but this just didn't work. The performance was to be honest, terrible and the Choreo was even worse. IST is destroying Apink and Weeekly.

    I listened to Mark (tuan)'s music at the beginning of the year and I think this is my fav song from 2022 (is it still kpop???)

    I agree I thought Jackson would do hip hop like I was not expecting the concept and everythjng it’s like so good. City lights is amazing album Baekhyun did what he needed ;judgingpepe:

    Im also kinda surprised by Mark style because I thought he would do more rap but it’s more like chill I guess

    Jackson's early solo work was what I expected, but this work over the last few years has been really great. I didn't expect this style from him, but he's really hit his niche I feel like.


    Bambam's solo work was also surprising. I did not expect him to go for Korean solos firstly and I definitely did not expect him to release something so bubbly like riBBon or dreamy like Slow Mo. His solos in GOT7 were always a bit more party/swag based. His duet with Seulgi also took me by surprise. I feel like of all the GOT7 members Bambam would have been lowest on most people's list of soloists, but he's really proved a lot of people wrong.
