YG:

I'm a girl group stan, so it's interesting that most of these are boy groups. And not a single Kpop gg song (since Twice's is Japanese)

hybe: idk

BTS: Butter

Rosé: On The Ground

Red Velvet: Queendom

Twice: Perfect World

SM:

Really hard to pick between Ten, Taeyeon, and Wendy. Their solos are killing it this year.

JYP:

SKZ comes on top for me, but I also liked TWICE, 2PM, and Itzy's comebacks this year.

YG:

I don't mind Gone, but OTG is more dramatic, and I like that.

HYBE:

I also liked Butter, but again, this one's heavier and more dramatic, so it wins out for my tastes.

SM : next level

HYPE : i know i love you

YG : one the ground

JYPE : in the morning

hybe : Butter- bts (and Love Song- TXT)

I like multiple but I’m just putting one release for each

SM - Hate That by Key and Taeyeon

JYPE - Alcohol Free by Twice

YG - On the Ground by Rosé

HYBE - Butter by BTS

HYBE

Not an official release, but it saved 2021 right from the start, so yeah

Just TXT best song

Butter is a nice one, still better than majority of what I've heard in 2021

SM

Suddenly really liked Taemin song, haven't liked anything from him beside Move

JYP

Idk, nothing really stand out from what I've checked

YG

Same as JYP

NNext level, alcohol free, butter, on the ground

JYP

Alcohol-Free 100%. My favorite release this year.

Mafia In The Morning was great but it was boring after a while. I think by the end of the year, maybe The Feels will take the spot.

HYBE

Permission To Dance is one hell of a bop. US-UK vibes. Love it. Reminds me of 1D.

I think that Butter is also amazing.

YG

So far, On The Ground is the best.

Unexpectedly, I like Lalisa so much.

SM

My pick is surprisingly Next Level.

So much hype for Queendom but the song was pretty underwhelming in the long run.

HYBE:

SM:(make me wanna play COD…)

YG

JYP

HYBE: Butter

SM: Hello Future

YG: Hey Kid Close Your Eyes

JYP: ... does Cheese count?... If not, then, Guard You, I guess? Man JYPE has fuckin sucked this year.

HYBE- LO$ER=LOVER

JYP- Kura Kura if that counts

SM- Queendom

YG- what did i like from yg this year??? i guess my treasure?
