Damn. Yuna's solo is yet to come, but in the interim I think Chaeryeong has pound for pound the best solo thus far based on the long previews. Can't wait.

I agree but I would add IVE and Le Sserafim to this as well. They're too huge in Korea and Japan to ignore.

Considering that Fallen Angels is my favorite Wong Kar Wai film, I absolutely LOVED this music video. I'm pretty confident Fallen Angels, particularly Michelle Rei's character, was the inspiration.

I think it's a BLOP. I like everything except the chorus. Surprised at how many folks think it's a flop especially considering it's just a pre-release. If this was a title track then yah I'm saying yikes but its a decent b-side.

There has never been a more correct award than Ditto winning Song of the Year because it is dang MASTERPIECE.

Also as much as I joke about NJ, I'm happy they won Artist of the Year. That said objectively speaking I would've given the vote to IVE since in terms of discography I feel they had a stronger year, but Ditto and OMG alone carries a hell of a ton of weight. Can't scoff at NJ and well deserved!

As a big Taeyeon stan myself, I found this mini album underwhelming. Really wanted more, especially following INVU, but you know what, it's a similar comedown like when we went from Purpose to What Do I Call You. The only knock is that I wish I connected to at least one song on To X the way I connected with Wildfire on WDICU.

Wow outsold iu 👀

YES. Here on the 27th of November let it be heard by the people, long proclaimed by the disciples of King Taeyeon, that the great assault on KPop by IU would see it's greatest resistance from our benevolent King Taeyeon. The hour is at hand WhyKnock!

I need to listen to it again but I think I wanted something more powerful. It's still a good song and would've been a great b-side on an album with a Taeyeon signature power title track.

As it stands I'll edge bop. If it wasn't Taeyeon I objectively would've said blop.

Of the B-sides it's either between OTT and Payback. Really like both songs. I don't hate Baddie by any means but it legit is behind the rest of the tracks on the album for me.

1. Love Dive

2. I Want

3. I Am

4. Off the Record

5. Between Blue Blood or Either Way

I liked this song too. Hell, I just liked the fact that Lee Hyo Ri didn't try to pull off a 4th gen type song, and just did something that fit her.

Quite liked it but damn she never was an exceptional dancer, and she danced on par with her younger self, yet you can see how much the dancing skill set has advanced with the later generations. Hyo Ri still has presence and she looks great!

I feel like I'm being generous by saying Blop, however can't deny that the deck was stacked against Jini and she got as decent as a song you could ask for. So good job Jini. Hope for better tracks from her.

the thread title got me dying

YES. Give it to me. Especially can't wait for Hyori (and always bracing for another plagiarism accusation) but still love her.

Hell, too bad Son Dam-bi don't got any music going on because this would've truly the month of queens!

I WILL NOT STAND FOR ANY NOT SHY SLANDER. NONE.

The helllllll is wrong with you. Not Shy was NOT a huge departure from what they did earlier.

You should replace the Wannabe-Not Shy line with After School-Ven Para. Then your point is valid. And I say this as someone who really likes Ven Para.

Haha actually as a Midzy, I wish they would've gotten Baddie over Sneakers. Ryujin would've killed it with this song if it came last year. But Sneakers was huge for ITZY in Korea so what do I know.

I'm not a big fan of the song, but I'm going to go objectively Bop. I say Bop because I see why Either Way and Off the Record exist as they do and why they're being pushed as Title Tracks instead of "pre-release" tracks. As those 2 earlier tracks as companion tracks, then Baddie is the deliberate antithesis to them, for better or for worse.

Baddie is absolutely my least favorite title track from them, but Either Way and Off the Record I like more then Eleven and After Like. So I'm not pressed. I would be though if Baddie was their solo title track.

IVE IS AT LAST FINISHED. FLOPS FOREVER.

😋

hell, I think it's a BOP.

Their mispronunciation of the English words in the chorus is a tiny bit distracting but other than that I like it a lot.

Safe to say at this point I'm essentially a Dive now.

Damn.
