kiss of life vs G-IDLE; Who owns the 2024 summer anthem?

Idle of course!

I'm biased towards KOL. So....... KOL.

Kiss of Life obviously

I don't really like either song. Klaxon is easily GIDLE's worst title track. Sticky has a cute dance though.

My song of the summer is still Supernova.

Gidle for me

Neither impressed me

KIOF, KIOF, KIOF, not KOL!!! 🤣

KoL

I think they decided to become the successors of Sistar.

Hey BEG4DAWIN gimme a "BOTH" option or I won't vote!😂

Anyway. Honestly, the summer is pretty boring so far, so it's not really surprising that Gidle and KIOF is basically the only group that released a good and real summer song. I know some people like to think everything is a summer song just because it was released in the summer, but that's not true.

In general, the 3 best summer song so far is KLAXON, STICKY and Sunmi's Balloon in Love.

And yes, Klaxon and Sticky is not the best song of theirs, but these are just a simple, fun, sexy, and feelgood summer songs, nothing more. Sometimes, the less is more.

It does make sense, because KIOF comes from the abbreviation of the Korean letters.

In Korean, they shorten it to 키(KI)오(O)브(F) so KIOF

Or Weeekly - Lights On and Dance Dance Dance. Also a very nice summer comeback.

Of course I also like KISS OF LIFE and (G)I-DLE.

...I am still waiting

That also doesn't quite make sense. Kiss of Life in Hangul is 키스 오브 라이프 ("kiseu obeu laipeu"), so it seems that the obvious abbreviation would be 키오라 ("kiola"), not 키오브 ("kiobeu").

I am going with Sticky but it's not a strong anthem so far.

Maybe, it is a copyright issue. lol

I'm sure Koreans know better how to read Hangul.

Also, the romanized version in your comment is wrong, and that's the prime example why people shouldn't learn Japanese or Korean using Romanized words. Especially if their first language is English. Reading the romanized version is not the same when you read the actual Korean version, and that's why it's KIOF, not "KIOBEU".

Why are people saying Sticky isn't a big bop when it is??

Idle tt was terrible compared to their others amazing tts and Sticky is simply amazing so kiof for me.

Koreans don't disagree with me though. If you perform a Google search for "키오라", you'll see that the term is often used to refer to Kiss of Life. I don't doubt that "키오브" is the official abbreviation, but people who aren't familiar with the group are probably going to default to "키오라" instead, since it's the more obvious abbreviation.
