So many, almost too many to list.
Aespa - Next Level is SOTY for me so far this year. And they took down every single digimon in Korea this year with NL and now Savage.
StayC - Their titles dragged but i was impressed af with their English covers, B sides like Slow Down, and their live vocals.
Brave Girls - Rollin and After We Ride are massive bops, so is Chi Mat Baram actually.
Twice and Itzy - They have put out 3 SOTY contenders this year (MITM, AF, and Scientist) and their latest albums are easily the best group albums in Kpop this year.
Weeekly - Their debut song was solid but Holiday was 10x better, really impressed.
Niziu - Chopstick is easily a SOTY contender, a shocker for me.
