That particular morning, I got the urge to open YouTube first thing in the morning (abandoning my usual habit of drinking water even after discovering that I have developed a thumping headache). As fate will have it, the first video was of Billie's Ring x Ring, looking completely unassuming with its thumbnail.
Plugged my earphones in and the first few seconds of the video seemed to agree with the thumbnail. Then the blitz happened: blinding lights, sharp noises and aggressive vocals as a greeting, all in max volume.
It was a lovely hash of disorientation and bewilderment and I lived for it. My senses were definitely aroused and so did my headache that was guaranteed to become a pain in my arse now.
Anyways, Ring x Ring best 2021 K-pop debut
