We're halfway through the decade. What's been your favorite year in K-Pop so far?

i have no concept of time i don't know how to answer this

2025

2022/23 was PEAK

summer 25 is peaking up HARD too! with kpdh, ADP smash debut, bp and aespa banger 'pre releases' and soon full album/ep drops, this year is kicking pretty hard. only nj is missing really! THEY are the secret ingredient to make everything fully exiting, novel and refreshing!

I just voted something what is time

2022 stuck out to me. Bias obviously New Jeans 4 songs. Idle and Ive had good released. Really enjoyed

Taeyeon and Nayeon solo stuff. Ateez had a good year too.

Got to see BIGBANG and SNSD have come backs, songs was a little mid but I enjoyed them still and good to see 2 groups I watched growing up get one last outing.

2022

2020 was also good

Quote from Yama-Chan

Set a number range between 1-6, assign each poll option to each number, use a rng bot on Google and just pick one

Easy

too much work. voted 2025 because it's the only one i can somewhat accurately remember.

2023 was the peak.

All groups and soloists had bangers!!

Peak of Kpop indeed

The year that gave us HagPants.

I voted 2022 as it has the greatest EP in kpop history (which I am sure Yama is hinting at through the subtext)

I’ll put it in a spoiler as I don’t want to unwittingly bias the vote in favour of 2022, of course it is:

2020, followed by 2022

2021

BTS had conquered the world

Other than one person whom I won't name, everyone knelt before it.

The Weeknd, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift

You name it

Everyone,

except one person,

acknowledged BTS's superiority in 2021.

2024

Supernova, Armageddon, Whiplash, 4x Solo drops

Let's see what comes later this year though, Dirty Work and Dark Arts were bops!

2022 was the best year, but not because of what Yama thinks.😂

SNSD and Taeyeon comeback, MAMAMOO group, solo comebacks, also MAMAMOO+ debut. IU's Golden Hour concert. The last TWICE comeback I actually loved. NMIXX debut and so on.

I don't remember most songs that came out this year, let alone the songs from 20-24
