What would be the absolute worst song you could use to introduce someone to K-Pop?

Cake Cake Cake Cake Cake by Itzy

There are worse but I wouldn't remember

Hmm, worst song?

Why this is the worst? Because this would put the bar too high.

Well.... when I was watching them performing that song in front of scouts from all over the world, one part of me was kinda having secondhand embarrassment. (but well... maybe some of the non-kpop fan scouts enjoyed it)

I checked the lyrics now and somehow they aren't bad loll

At least they are sending some message with a bad song

Babymonster sheesh - atrocious

Meovv meow - terrible

Nct dream rains in heaven - 2000s american boy group fodder, and a bad one at that

I have tried "Dynamite" and that fizzled.. they were laughing at the lyrics .. still mock me about..

King Kong, kick the drum

Ding-dong, call my phone

For sometime my VMs to call them back were the above 2 lines..

so depends on your audience.. if they smart enough to care about lyrics, then better not use Kpop songs with English lyrics..

O.O

It would really depend on what they like, but lowkey it'd just be any song that doesn't sound like any other Kpop song, because they'd want something that sounds like it and won't be able to find anything.

For friends I have that never really heard kpop probably just anything that's like super cutesy really, like even Twice could backfire. Depends on the person.

Definetly one of these Yama-Chan

Fantastic baby was one of those songs, stand always used to introduce non fans to kpop back in the day. But I'd never chose it, I think it's one of the most annoying song ever.

I just knew someone was gonna say this

tortoise and the hare - straykids

cat & dog - txt (esp the english ver)

I think this one has to be up there.

It is interesting that Itzy gets brought up, but they also have one of the best songs to introduce to non-kpop fans in Wannabe.

never forget

(idk if this counts lol, I did really enjoy the boys planet though)

Early Itzy would be good to introduce, just like late Twice like "I can't stop me" or even "The Feels"

Depends on what you mean. If you mean a song that is not a typical kpop song or if you just mean a bad song.....

It's probably best to take a song that is good, but not to good and a song that is kind of "normal" for kpop.

It you pick a "too good" song it's a risk they get a disappointed after that. It would say all early Blackpink would be pretty good start and maybe Dun-Dun Dance from Oh my Girl.

the worse? maybe Gangnam Style..... not because it's bad, but because it's not that typical for kpop.

A lot of people know/like gangdam style _{(this is small town america)} (including the elm students I watch) so I wouldn't exactly say its the worst

I think simon says or mad dog by NCT127 would throw ppl off big time

Sorry Nmixx but O.O was the first song that came to mind

Maybe from Gangnam Style and PSY other songs the person can get to know the ggs of the ladies in the MVs

I got to know 4minute like that

For Apink (Naeun is on New Face) it'd have to be their latest songs though

cat & dog - txt (esp the english ver)

I choose this too. This song has singlehandedly kept me from anything txt related.

This is coming from someone who listens to noise kpop music too.

Songs from [redacted] group, as well as [redacted]. Can't believe people still stan [redacted], users have others groups in their avatars and signature so I know they know what good music truly is, so it's confusing they're still think [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] are good songs.

I guess personal taste and preference do matter.

TXT has a great discography tho Cat & Dog is just so strange its iconic lol

Noise music is my #1

I am pretty sure they do, but cat & dog has a repellant effect on me, I just can't see them the same. If anything Yeonjun Gum dance gif amplified it in a hilarious way XDD (I appreciate his dance skills tho)

and sticker

STICKER in my ideal delusional world NCT didn't release it.

Gum gif is silly but it did catch my attention after that so I gave it a listen, it was polarising but kinda fun. Not something I would listen to a lot but from time to time yeah I can find it fun.

STOP I LOVE STICKER- like I genuinely think its genius, but I think it's because I'm so into the NCT sound.

As I said, it's not because I think it's bad, I think Gangnam Style is good, but It's not a typical kpop song maybe and could make people disappointed if they think all songs would be like Gangnam Style. So better to pick songs that are more mainstream kpop and not "outliners".

Glad you enjoy it. I like NCT sound too, best songs to dance to/hype your self up to but sticker was not for me though tbf I listened maybe once or twice near its release only.

Honestly, I'd still say NMixx's O.O debut song is the worst.

The beginning rap just doesn't fit and the rest of the music goes all over the place.

A lot tbh. I'd say like 90% lmao.

Anything that does not sound like typical pop music probably would not go over well. Or anything too cutesy.

A shorter and easier list would be best songs to introduce someone to K-POP.
