The New York Times mentions NCT 127's 'Sticker' and Aespa's 'Savage' as one of the best POP albums of 2021, the only two Kpop albums on the list.

Deserved, both albums were amazing

Both NCT 127 and aespa's releases were some of the most memorable to me. I'm super happy to see them get the recognition!

Oooh wish I could read what they say. My two favourite groups

Both albums have incredible b-sides

Deserved Congrats to both!

Congratulations NCT and aespa!!

Congrats NCT and aespa! Well deserved. It’s really nice to see them in lists with other great albums this year. I highly recommend Jazmine Sullivan’s Heaux Tales, which is also on the list.

There’s no blurb on those two albums. There are blurbs on their top 10s and t then a list of their other 15-20 faves. I have a NY Times subscription - I’m searching the site to see if there was a past review I missed.

EDITED TO ADD: I just checked. No longer review.
