This was perhaps the most disappointing day/night of K-Pop in years

Yes. Kinda feels like a bit of a damp squib. The hype was there, but results sorely lacked.

different strokes for different folks

Good song

Good times

i liked blackpink and ateez songs.

I will say I am disappointed with Blackpink's MV, it's almost jarring to watch because it's just so far from the norm for them. I do like the song for the most part, definitely not their best though.

Twice's comeback overall just fell flat for me, even the album didn't have anything that I will be adding to my playlist. And the title track? Well, I've only been following Twice comebacks since More & More but it was my least favorite comeback from them by far, which says a lot because Scientist is somewhere in there.

There's no accounting for taste.

You should listen to some Day6 to cleanse your ears

Trust in Icy this song is it

No, I'm not, because the quality of their songs didn't surprise me. I expected their title track to be the same old boring Tiktok songs.

The TWICE song had more potential, tho. With a Bridge and MUCH LESS autotune and 30 more seconds, it could've been a BOP.

At least YG tried, I'll give them that, but they still failed.

Enjoyed both songs a lot more than that boring hiatus group with their simple songs

Nope. Not disappointing. I was not impressed by the Twice previews. And I don't like Blackpink. I'd rather listen to the good comebacks we had this month (and no that does not include the Black Label Artists), and the Ive preview sounds good as well.

Nope.

I'm going back to my TBL stan phase.

Time to keep looping

Ew you are pathetic

TWICE didn't disappoint me because they delivered an actual album and even though I don't like the tt there are other songs on the album I can say for sure are bops.

BLACKPINK was..meh. They sounded different and not in a way that sounded right to me.

Quote from Yama-Chan

My opinion on 2025 is now locked in.

I had expressed a couple months ago that I had high expectations for aespa, BLACKPINK and Twice saving this year.

They did not.

That BP song sounds dated and something I'd expect from a CF/collab song, except their CF/Collab songs are substantially better.

And the Twice song is only listenable if I tune out the lyrics, but it's only 2 minutes and 13 seconds long. That is not the Twice I know. And I hate it.

I actually like Dirty Work, but it's not some generation defining hit

NONE of these songs will be remembered as timeless classics. I feel confident saying that.

Oh, and Ateez's song was better than any of them.

I completely agree with many points. BP does sound like it's a CF song, and I like Dirty Work (despite it being like pared down Armageddon).

Twice's song sounded... rather muted. It had potential, but it didn't go anywhere. Too much like an easy listening TikTok song, which is abnormal for Twice with their punchy TTs.

Not listened to Ateez's latest cb, yet, but will later 😉
