I'm really new to the Kpop community. I know a bit of Jpop since I'm into anime, and I know the band Stray Kids since they did the OP and ED to Tower of God. I'm looking for good groups to follow. Any songs or bands to check out?

As a Stay, more Stray Kids! Their songs slap and they have a new one coming out soon! Some of their best in no particular order:

[SKZ RECORD] CHANGBIN, FELIX - 'Cause I Like You' (좋으니까) Lyrics [Color Coded_Han_Rom_Eng] - YouTube

SKZ BANG CHAN – ‘DON'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE' (인정하기 싫어) Lyrics [Color Coded_Han_Rom_Eng] - YouTube

STRAY KIDS - 'STAR LOST' Lyrics [Color Coded_Han_Rom_Eng] - YouTube

Tower of God.

wait hold on does TOG have an animated series?

Basing on your background, let me recommend these TREASURE songs:

Black Clover's 13th ED

That's can suit your taste i think :

Dreamcatcher's one of the most anime-ish Kpop group out there so you might like their stuff.

I actually heard a story about this. Someone loved K-Pop but had a boyfriend that hated it. One day, they put on Piri and lied to say it was an anime theme song. He ended up believing her and loving the song. Once it ended, they revealed the song was actually K-Pop and he was surprised and decided he liked Dreamcatcher's songs. Based on that story, this person might like Piri, who knows? Have a great day/night!

Quote from surgeezie

Yeah! It came out in 2020 and It's pretty good! It made me start the Webtoon.

( I've read TOG since release and I forgot to check for adaptations LUL I dropped off and I'm restarting haha)

Did you say bands?

Here is my template for newbies to check out Day6

These are some of the songs I recommend to someone who is new

Their debut song: Congratulations (also their 3rd most viewed MV)

This song is a huge fan favourite. Fun fact, Day6's criteria for debut was to make a song good enough to be the title track, and after writing over 100+ songs, Congratulations finally made the cut and got approved.

This is their first song as 5 members, because Junhyeok left the band after their debut

Their most famous song in South Korea: You Were Beautiful (also their most viewed MV)

Their most popular song on Spotify: Shoot Me (also their 2nd most viewed MV)

The song that got their first music show win: Time Of Our Life

Their OT5 comeback back in 2020: Zombie. This got them their very first MAMA award with Best Band Performance MAMA2020

Lastly, their latest comeback

If there is any song in particular you like a lot I can give you some other songs with similar vibes

I knew you'd promote them, thank you for not letting me down.

A song from anime since you like it:

I think this have Japanese vibes too.

You love tog too. My fav webtoon

Exo. They have the best vocals and most consistent discography in kpop. Their discography is diverse but especially if you are into r&b pop sound you should definitely check them.

Here are some recommendations.

Also if you ask me they have the best performances as well.

I really recommend looking into Stray Kids if you liked them, they have a very diverse discography so you will surely find something. (And if you're interested in kpop beyond the music, their personalities are nice and they're very talented too.)

here are a few recommendations:

Energetic, "hype" songs

God's Menu (arguably their most iconic song at the moment)

Back Door (actually a mix of various genres, it's fun)

Thunderous (it's kind of musical-like, with the incorporation of traditional Korean instrumentals)

MIROH (EDM banger)

DOMINO (a b-side from their most recent album NOEASY)

District 9 (their debut song)

My Pace (their first comeback, with pop-rock elements and encouraging lyrics)

CHEESE (the intro song of NOEASY)

Easy

Victory Song (from Clé 1: Miroh)

Boxer (also from Clé 1: Miroh)

SSICK (b-side from NOEASY, there's quite a lot going on but it works well)

Christmas EveL (went quite viral recently, complaining about Christmas)

Emotional (higher energy) songs

Hellevator (their first song ever, about struggles of trainees)

Scars (originally released as a Japanese comeback but the Korean version is out too, if you like Hellevator you'll like this too)

Silent Cry (current fan favourite b-side from NOEASY; rather complex, touching lyrics)

Levanter

Voices (from I am:WHO their first comeback)

Phobia

Side Effects (quite ahead its time, about experiencing anxiety after confidence)

Winter Falls

Red Lights

Awaken

B Me

Emotional (more on the chill side) songs

Secret Secret (melancholic)

Sunshine (lo-fi, comforting lyrics)

Ex (really nicely written breakup song)

Mixtape: On Track (it has a nostalgic, mellow feel)

19 (about the strangeness of suddenly becoming an adult)

My Universe (sweet)

Gone Away (sad ballad)

Another Day (acoustic, rather sad)

Cute, fun and bright, or refreshing songs

Awkward Silence

Get Cool

TMT (the lyrics are bittersweet, though)

The View

Blueprint

Star Lost

24 to 25 (sweet, Christmas love song)

Hoodie Season

Question

Surfin'

Haven

other (?)

Chronosaurus (about how frightening the passing of time is, it's a bit eerie)

3rd Eye (ambient, eerie, emotional)

Maze of Memories (entire group raps, at no point will the song go in the direction you'd expect)

The Tortoise and the Hare (rather experimental, intro to IN LIFE)

Any

We Go

0325 (dnb, nostalgic, it's actually made of three intro songs)

My Side

BTW, they're coming back with a new album, ODDINARY, soon!

here's the trailer

also idk if you know him, but 3RACHA (the producing unit of SKZ) will be collaborating with SKY-HI soon too

This one's highly recommended 💜

And I thought I went overboard. I stand corrected. You're probably going to overwhelm them!
