Do your favs release albums with filler songs?

All groups have "album fillers", some groups just have more than the others, but I would say all groups have at least 50% of them.

Nope. NewJeans’ high quality is always felt through their entire album/minis.

Non except that 1 time where they had an intro in an album of them just creepingly saying some French stuff

A.C.E hopefully never repeats this cause that one intro was so creepy

I can name a filler song in virtually any full length album but it's not as bad as it was in 2nd gen with the obligated "mall music" song

all of them do, it's actually normal in kpop and especially in full albums. nct have a lot of quality songs, but occasional fillers too. same with stray kids and exo.

the group i stan that has the least fillers is red velvet imo.

With (G)I-dle I don't see it because every song is composed by a member of the group and they always bring new ideas and vibes

With T-ara definitely, except their first full album which was suprisingly a no skip, every one of their minis had atleast a filler, and in the later minis half of the bsides were filler tbh. But their title track were soo amazing (until 2014)

Dreamcatcher don't have many fillers, I would say maybe one per album maximum.

2nd gen group albums had a lot of filler imo

There’s nothing wrong about an album having 1-2 fillers songs. Most of the time fillers are ballad.

I consider ballads filler songs because most of them bore me

That is what i do also....

But of cource everything depends what defenition we have for a "filler song", but if we say that any song more that 50% the listners thing is "boring" is "filler" I think a lot of songs are fillers.

I don't know of any Exo album fuller song. Which of their songs do you think is filler.

365, Baby, Cosmic Railway, 24/7, Cloud 9, One and Only, First Love, Beautiful, Day After Day, etc.

im finding it difficult to understand how fillers are ballads because ballads usually require high-quality vocal skills to sing them. A bad vocalist can't sing ballads, at least not easily. I think ballads tend to be the best songs on albums because of their vocal quality, I guess I'm wrong.

So unless the ballads you listened to were sung by bad vocalists, I do not know how they become fillers.

In my mind, a filler is a poorly done and uninteresting song with low quality vocals, arrangement and production in general.

A filler is a song who has nothing to with album.

There are some songs I don’t like but I get the purpose while most of ballad are here to add some diversity and versatility and see a lot of them are thrown at the end of the track list because they’d kill the atmosphere of the album.

I'm brave enough to say Day6 has zero filler songs

Yes, my fav Blackpink has 100% filler songs.

I'd go maybe 10-15% filler for me in the groups that I like to listen to.

Probably why I like these groups more than others.

Aespa and RV both have a really strong library of b-sides.

Other groups with a lot of good b-sides IMO are Loona, Lesserafim, Blackpink, NJ and StayC. To a slightly lesser degree Ive and Gidle.
