Best year / era for your favorite kpop group to date

Fromis_9 - 2021. My friend has been telling me to check them out for almost 3 years. But I finally decided to check them out this year after I heard their new comeback song. Best decision of my life.

STREAM!

IZONE - 2020. It was the best year for them. The songs that were released that year are just Top Tier. I freaking love all of it. SSOTS, Panorama, Sequence.

I'll do eras because idk years LOL

Twice - Fancy. This era was EVERYTHING. Visuals. Musicality. It really was the Twice's transition to who they are now!

T-ara - Roly Poly. A SONG AND ERA SO ICONIC A MUSICAL WAS MADE AFTER THIS SONG.

SNSD - Genie. It was so hard to pick but Genie was so iconic with the flight attendant outfits, THE AMAZING SONG, everything

Red Velvet - Bad Boy. To this day, nothing beats how amazing Bad Boy was! The styling, the visuals, the music. Top peak Velvet!

Blackpink - DDDD. BLACKPINK IS THE REVOLUTION AND THIS IS THE MONUMENT OF IT ALL

TWICE

2018

What is love, DTNA, Yes or yes

Best year for Monsta X was 2018, without a shadow of doubt. For others I'm not sure.

Favorite era was All In/Stuck in 2016 though.

For Red Velvet my favorite year was also 2018 with Bad Boy/Power Up/RBB.

Aespa right now

TWICE's best eras are Yes Or Yes? and Likey.

My favorite year of them ever is 2018, thanks to YOY as well as their versatility in that year.

2017 was great too because I like many bops in that year (Likey, Heart Shaker, Knock Knock), but I like 2018 more

BLACKPINK: 2016 or 2020. 2016 they had their debut and first comeback within 1 year (2 releases a year??!) to shocking success, dubbing them monster rookie. the memories of BP's rookie era were so hopeful and nostalgic. 2020 was the year in which they released their album and cemented themselves as #1 GG and #2 group in the world.

What is Love? was the most remarkable as it's my first comeback

I'll do eras cuz it is difficult to choose which is the best year in BTS career. I mean I can say any of the years and it'll be difficult to argue against it.

Sonically : LY era.

LY Tear is enough to claim this one. But they also had all time faves like Mic Drop, Pied Piper, Love Myself, etc during this era. All the solos are great and probably the strongest amongst all three.

Lyrically / Conceptually : WINGS / MOTS. Difficult to chose one over the other.

WINGS is unique. They gave solo song to each member to tell their stories related to the concept which is a bold move considering they were releasing them under BTS name and not their own. Then there were songs with lyrically strong output like Am I Wrong?, Spring Day, Not Today amongst others.

Concept of MOTS is a very difficult to understand since most of us cannot think from artist's pov. ON, BTS' most cathartic song, is probably the most disrespected song. This is probably BTS strongest era, artistically speaking.

Overall : HYYH era.

I mean this is more emotional choice than objective one since I connect with BTS & the music from this era the most. Still I think this is a very strong and the most complete era of BTS.

But yeah I agree with you. WINGS era is probably the most ICONIC era.

For BTS, I prefer 2018. It’s the most important year for the Love Yourself : Series. They released two two notch albums and their message touched and is still touching so many people with this trilogy.

For Red Velvet, I prefer 2017. They released three amazing albums which showed how versatile they truly were.

For Mamamoo, I prefer 2018. Their music reached their peak this year after three amazing years in 2015, 2016 and 2018. Their season project is well-executed and sounds really good.
