MAXSIX: TOP 22 SONGS OF 2022

Hi tumblr! Wishing you all a Happy New Year in 2023. Things have been absolutely crazy busy down here so I haven’t posted much lately but I hope you’re all safe, healthy and will have a successful year ahead. I thought KPOP gave us an absolutely amazing year of music actually. It was truly the year of the Girl Group and even though I love boy groups more, I have zero complaints. Here’s my Top 22 songs.

22. That Feeling When by Enhypen. This song is just so comforting for me. I put it on when I’ve had an awful week. It sounds like a walk in the park on a sunny day. The structure, tempo and instrumentation sounds very very similar to Post Malone’s Circles but much softer and less traumatised. I appreciate that they consistently put out albums with fully-formed songs on them. I don’t think they will ever be my bias group because I just don’t really vibe with them. I don’t understand their identity or personality (as a group). I don’t understand what part of the market they are aiming for. But they are just new so they have time to figure that out.

21. BTBT by B.I. Oh Kim Hanbin, we meet again, under very very different circumstances this time. It’s been nearly EIGHT YEARS since Ikon debuted and excuse me while I ride this wave of memory and nostalgia for a minute. I’m always proud of how he came back. I wanted to include Illa Illa but that was last year. There’s something so fluid, calm and content about his material now. It’s a lot like the flow of water and I’m sure there’s a whole paragraph about symbolism and rebirth and change in here somewhere but ain’t nobody got time for my essay on him (me included).

20. Antifragile by LE SSERAFIM. I only checked out this group because I really think Bangs (Chaewon) is a big star and would be an IT Girl if Wonyoung did not already exist. I like Fearlesss and Sour Grapes too but I won’t lie, I am really in my Trash-GG-Pop era and Antifragile is so weird but so catchy. I like the use of these lesser-heard chords and it honestly sounds so enjoyably wrong. Fearless is the more stylish song but sometimes you’d rather wear a fur jacket than black suit, you know? They’re off to a good start but the reason they’re this low on my list is because I cannot really love them yet? There’s no gateway bias for me into LS. Excited for their future output though.

19. INVU by Taeyeon. She is one of those cases where I truly have to separate the artist from the art to enjoy it. Her voice is just beautiful here and this song is so lush and gorgeous. I really like the bittersweet nature of INVU and the emotion she was able to bring to it. She really connects with the audience and I think it’s why she remains so successful and popular. The rest of her personality? I will not comment on.

18. Shut Down by Blackpink. Sorry I ended up liking this trash. I know I am already contractually obligated to support all Australians in KPOP but sometimes the Garbage lady did well and needs to be promoted to Garbage Boss. It was a toss up between this and Pink Venom but this won because the Lisa verses bothered me less here. Jennie was always their better rapper anyways and for those who disagree, you are 100% entitled to your (wrong) opinion.

17. Feel My Rhythm/In My Dreams by Red Velvet. For me, they will never top Bad Boy and Psycho but I enjoyed the classic sampling of Bach in FMR. I’m including both in this because they are so similar and I often listen to them together when I want to be in this very particular mood. They’re just both so pretty and soothing to me and that’s all there is to this comment. Great gowns, beautiful gowns etc.

16. Ballroom Extravaganza by DPR Ian. The contractual obligation to support all Australians continues. He has some absolutely devastating material to be honest. He writes things that take me back to my disastrous uni years; when I thought I was living in a Hole album but truthfully, I just needed therapy and a good night’s sleep. He’s my Breakdown OST man. If you vibed with anything I just wrote there, you need Christian Yu in your life. I don’t listen to him often because I don’t like revisiting my breakdown eras but the music is very very good. He’s like the music version of Sicario, which is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen but never ever want to see again.

15. After Like by IVE. It’s just so cute. That’s all. It’s just fun and cute and you can listen to it without any kind of stress or expectation. The sample from Gloria Gaynor had me wondering how rich their management is because damm, not even BTS sampled something this famous. This one is particularly good to have on when you’re getting ready to go out.

14. Young Luv StayC. This was a song that I instantly understood and connected with. I always thought of this as the sister version of TXT’s Loser = Lover, which was actually my most played KPOP song of 2022, even though it was released August 2021. Sentimental rock songs are just my thing I guess. I really love the tempo of these pop-rock songs and it’s crazy to me that StayC and TXT do the genre SO well but don’t lean more heavily into it. This constant need for re-invention is not always necessary. Sometimes I wish groups could figure out what they do best and stick with it. Not everyone can be Seventeen.

13. Muddy Water by Stray Kids. This is my favourite Skz song this year and if they don’t play this when I see them live, I will protest loudly and annoyingly. Changbin usually has my favourite verse in every single Skz song but it’s all Felix MVP for this one because I always prefer deeper-rap to chipmunk. Hyunjin’s lower register is so nice to listen to and I’m so frustrated they don’t use it more often. Jisung is flawless as usual and I sit here patiently waiting for him to drop his (likely) psychological Jixtape. No clown music please, give me all the shadows of your mind Han Jisung.

12. Ash by Seventeen. What a surprise and revelation this song was, tacked to the end of the album like a “Oh yeah we’ll just put one of our best songs here like an afterthought”. This is Vernon’s song and his rap verse is one of the BEST I have heard all year. It is just flawless in its tone, pace and delivery. He’s a really good example of knowing what he does well and perfecting it over time. Black Eye just came out and I absolutely adore his voice on it. He’s just such a revelation and I hope there is more solo material from him in the future. I didn’t think Seventeen could do anything to surprise me anymore but they do it every time. What a group.

11. HOT by Seventeen. This was the song that got me back into the fandom, after Mansae (seven years ago!) I love the intro. Definitely one of the best intros I’ve heard in a long time because it set the tone immediately. This song always gives me a big hit of energy when it plays, kinda of like taking a sip of Red Bull. I have to just talk about how crazy talented the video editers were. The amount of work that went into the HOT mv blows my mind every day. Whenever I sit and watch it, my head can’t compute that humans put this together.

10. Guerrilla by ATEEZ. The most surprising song for me this year. It was at once the most expected thing from Ateez and so damm unexpected. I didn’t think any group would lean this hard into this genre because Korean versions of anything but pop is always a diluted Hello-Kitty version. I feel like it announced them in a Big Way and I love watching them riding this wave. Every time I listen to them I thank the Universe that they managed to get Jongho in the line up. I think this needed to be their title track (for the impact) but the album absolutely had even better songs on it.

9. Cheers by Seventeen. The confidence and arrogance and cockiness involved here was so tasty to witness. Also: Seungcheol ass. Yeah, I play this one a lot and whenever I blast it driving, my lil Kompressor thinks he’s a Nissan GTR in Tokyo Drift.

8. Wildfire by Monsta X. I know the bare minimum about this group so I had the lowest of expectations but the longevity of this song on my playlist truly surprised me. It’s a slutty club jam with torment and a narrative that I totally understand. I have always maintained that the writing, production and depth of this song is what ‘Red Lights’ was striving to be. I think you need to have lived through some shit to bring the necessary conviction to songs like this. Do I feel that Chan has been through a soul destroying toxic relationship? No. Do I believe Hyungwon has one every Sunday? Absolutely. I pray every day for him to release a solo version of this.

7. Attention by New Jeans. The first thing I heard from them and man, what an introduction. A total breath of fresh air in the age of mash-up noize songs. It took me a long time to figure out what I really like about them and it’s the minimalism. KPOP is so crazy and OTT where More is More so when you get something stripped back like this, it seems new.

6. Cyberpunk by Ateez. The World: Movement was one of the most solid albums released this year and it absolutely blows my mind whenever end of year lists don’t at least acknowledge how cohesive it is and how TIGHT that production was, like damm, they really kept only the choice cuts. I love the journey of Cyberpunk because when it started, my brain just went: Bladerunner 2049 Club Jam. The Hongjoong-Mingi rap though, worth buying the entire album for. They just never disappoint me. If you see Song Mingi today, please tell him that I love him.

5. Hype Boy by New Jeans. This song reminds me SO much of 2nd Gen SM girl groups. It reminds me of S.E.S, who were the first Kpop group that I knew about and loved. This is just a very very good and well written song. There’s really nothing else to it. When the music is so solid, there doesn’t need to be anything else added to the equation. By sounding 2nd Gen, they’ve managed to make groups like Itzy and NMIXX sound so dated and messy in comparison.

4. Run BTS by BTS. Well well well. And look what we have here. It took years of utterly whelming material for me to get something like this from them again. This is so fun, memorable, catchy and full of the attitude and personality I think they kinda lost along their way to infamy. It sounds like 2nd Grade lost all its baby fat and graduated from college with $3 in its pocket. If you think I sound like an old person then get off my lawn.

3. Ring by TXT. Kang Taehyun is my favourite boy on this entire list and this song is his (feat. Yeonjun’s rap, which is one of his best imo). It’s cute but not saccharine. It’s simple without being one of those superficial filler songs on an album. It’s lighthearted but performed seriously well. Anyways, Kang Taehyun is my favourite boy. Did I tell you how Taehyun is my favourite boy. No? Well he is my favourite boy. Ok. That is that all.

2. Ditto by New Jeans. Australians in KPOP always outsell but an Australian-Vietnamese Girl in KPOP? Represent, Pham Hanni. This song and the MVs were like a shot of Nostalgia Cocaine straight into my veins. It hit really hard in a way I was not expecting and I was thinking about all the friends from school that I don’t see anymore. I hope they continue to provide to us with great, well written (age appropriate) music. I have my own issues with their management and can only hope good things for them in the future. This just came out like 5 minutes ago and I already love it.

1. Love Dive by IVE. Even if I didn’t like this song (which I do), I can comfortable give it the title of Song of the Year. This is the perfect representation of them as a concept: high teen, unattainable but not intimidating, cool but not in a way that alienates kids who grew up unpopular. The minimalistic structure and tight production of this song is 10/10 but the things that truly made it for me are the ethereal angel vocals and that beat pause before the chorus at the end. The choices......they are flawless. Future Classic already.

SEOSPICY’S TOP POSTS IN 2022

Author's note: Thank you everyone for reading, liking, reblogging and sharing my writings. I appreciate all of the feedbacks you sent through asks and messages. Thank you for a wonderful year! (Ps. It comes as a no surprise to me that 4 out of 5 are Bangchan fics.)

GLASS.

Han x reader. (s)

Author's note: Just Jisung being a pervy neighbor :)

Content warning: Infidelity.

People should fall in love with their eyes closed.

But Han falls in love with his eyes wide open, through the looking glass.

After traveling to a few countries for his photography exhibitions, he decided to get back and got someplace to settle for a little while until new ideas struck his head and the cycle starts all over again.

When his eyes first landed on you, it was accidental.

He went out to the balcony one morning, trying to capture a picture of the gargoyle of the building. He took a few shots then dragged his camera while kept looking through the viewer and eventually found you.

He looked through the window and saw you were staring at your own reflection in the mirror while sitting on a stool and gracefully combing your hair with so much care.

It wasn't every day he saw women brushing their hair yet it also wasn't something as extraordinary as jumping off a plane for skydiving but peculiarly, he found it very interesting.

He took a few pictures of you just sitting against your vanity, combing your hair, and once in a while raking it with your fingers.

Then you put the hairbrush down and just stared at your own reflection like you haven't seen it for a long, long time.

You were looking for something in the reflection of yourself as it looks back at you.

Then from out of nowhere, another person entered the frame. A man came behind you and put his hands around your shoulders.

You talked to each other through the reflection in the mirror then he kissed the top of your head before left.

The smile that you put on your face for him faded like the day turned to night.

And you faced your reflection again with eyes that were still searching for something in it.

Han couldn't help himself.

Not when your apartment was right across from him and he could see everything like your life is a living miniature except that he couldn't play with the person in it.

In the morning, he woke up around 7 because he knew you would wake up around that time.

He had put on a tripod for his camera that was set just behind the window of his balcony.

As he waited for the coffee machine to finish, he looked through the camera with squinted eyes.

You were awake but didn't get up from your bed yet.

You had one hand under your head and your eyes were looking at the void of your bedroom, out of your head, out of this world.

He always took this moment to adore you, how you looked so beautiful by just being awake.

Then your boyfriend came into the frame again, shattering your bubble of thoughts and saying bye to you for he was going to work or whatever business he has to do outside, Han couldn't care less.

Having him out of the house felt like his least favorite movie character was absent from the scene, it was when Han felt the most triumphant.

That was because he can have you for himself.

STARS ALIGNED.

PART I

Bangchan x reader. (s,f)

Chapters: Part II / Part III / Final

Author's Note: Advance warning! Prepare your delulu ass and embrace the cuteness, like it or not.

Chan was deep in his thoughts when the elevator dinged open, or he was too sleepy to barely function.

He waited until the door slid open to get in, then pushed the button to his apartment floor, when the elevator was about to slide shut, he saw someone coming his way.

Chan hurriedly pushed any button to halt the elevator door from closing as he watched you half-jogged into the elevator, carrying a coat and bag in one hand.

"Thank you," you muttered when you got in, then stood on the opposite corner as the elevator began riding up the building. Chan rubbed his eyes to take a look at you, he glanced at you, up and down.

You were wearing a skin-tight dress in the color he likes so much, black. The dress dipped low at the cleavage and hung low, right on the mid-thighs, Chan guessed that you must have been coming back from a night out.

Then you bent over to fix the strap of your shoes, and Chan's eyes flicked to the exposed skin on the back of your thighs, then down to where your hands worked open the straps, then strapped it back again, properly.

You yelped when you almost tripped, and Chan was ready to help you, but fortunately, you gripped the handlebar on time.

Chan almost forgot that he was in the elevator and his floor was one level away, stood up and looked straight ahead.

The elevator dinged again, signaling that it had arrived on his floor, and Chan caught a whiff of your nice-smelling perfume when he walked past you.

Chan didn't want to creep on you, but he was also curious about which floor you lived on.

When he looked back though, you were also getting out of the elevator and were walking behind him, but went in the opposite direction of the hall that leads to the other unit on his floor.

You walked up to the door and unlocked it. And that was the first time Chan saw the neighbor of his new apartment.

He got excited thinking that this wouldn't be the last time he saw you if you're neighbors.

"This is a really nice apartment," Jeongin beamed as he looked around Chan's new and still lack of furniture apartment.

Chan poured a glass of juice for himself and then took a canned soda for Jeongin, "I should thank you for telling me about it," he said, then handed Jeongin his drink.

Jeongin popped open the soda, "it was actually my aunt, she recommended it to me," he replied, then gulped his drink.

He gasped after he swallowed the drink and then sat on the sofa, "she lives in the next unit, by the way," he informed.

Chan thought he misheard him, so he didn't think about it that much. "I planned on giving this to my little cousin," he muttered while holding a paper bag, "but they're not at home right now," he sighed.

Jeongin placed the paper bag on the glass table, "can you give it to them instead?"

"Huh? Me?" He asked in utter confusion.

Jeongin nodded, "my aunt knows all of you," he assured him, "she'll recognize you,"

Chan pursed his lips, "but is your aunt really living in the next unit?" Jeongin nodded again as he sipped his carbonated drink.

"Why?" He asked.

"I've seen the person who lives in the next unit, and I don't think it's your aunt," he explained.

HAVEN.

Bangchan x reader. (s,f)

Author's note: I am aware that I haven't written a Bangchan fic that is heavy on the fluff side, so here you go!

"I'm really, really, really sorry," Chan muttered the moment he got out of the elevator.

He saw you were sitting on your suitcase, next to the door of his apartment, reading a book.

"I was working on something, and I lost track of time," he explained, then punched in the pass code to unlock the door, "I'm sorry for making you wait for hours," he apologized again.

When the door beeped open, he swung the door wide to let you in.

"It's okay, it's about time I finish this book anyway," you assured him.

He let you get in first then helped you by dragging your suitcases inside.

"If it wasn't because my mom kept calling me, I'd have forgotten about it. I am so sorry," he apologized for the umpteenth time.

You softly laughed at him, "it's okay, Chris!"

He heavily sighed then turned the lights on, "Still, I feel so bad! I made you wait for more than two hours!"

"It's okay, Chris! It's all good now," you comforted him.

Then it got quiet, you looked into each other and realized you haven't really properly greeted each other.

"It feels weird isn't it?" You asked him with eyebrows raised, "we haven't met in years, and here we are," you added.

He nodded with a grin that made his dimples prominent.

You went in for a hug and he returned the hug by looping an arm around you, rubbing your back a few times before pulling away.

"How are you, Chris?" You asked him.

He sucked air through his teeth, then smiled, "I think I'm good," he answered.

"How about you?" He asked.

"I'm doing good," you replied, "and thank you for letting me stay in your apartment,"

"Oh please, letting an old friend stay for a week is nothing," he said then crossed his arms on his chest.

"I'm not like... intruding your private space, right?"

He quickly shook his head, "No, I rarely stay at home anyway," he said the pulled the handle of your suitcase.

"Your room is this way," he led you to the guest room and pushed the door open

"As you see, I haven't really bought much furniture for the house, but I hope the bed is comfortable enough for you," he explained, then set your suitcase next to the dresser.

"This is more than enough," you sauntered to the empty table facing the window and put down your bags on it, you peeked through the curtains to see the view and sighed at how beautiful the afternoon sky was.

"But do tell me if you need anything," he added, leaning one side of his body against the door frame.

You nodded at him, "sure, will do," you replied.

"I'll leave you to tidy up," he said then left the room.

THINNING.

Bangchan x reader. (s,f)

Author's note: No angst this time. Just a good ole friends to lovers fluff! :)

"I'm so busy I don't have time to be sad about my break-up!" You said as you fixed your eye make-up with the visor down while Chan was driving your car.

"Or maybe because it's your second break-up in this month alone, you're probably immune to it," Chan playfully remarked.

You pinched his arm but because of his firm biceps, you could only pinch just enough skin and inflicted a little pain.

"Ouch!" He yelped.

"Oh, shut up! It's not even that hurt!" You sneered at him and continued fixing your make-up.

You leaned in close to him as the car arrived at the destination.

"How's my make-up?" You asked, batting your eyelashes at him.

He went to examine it with a laser focus and tapped your cheek, "You look horrible!"

You lightly punched him on the chest now, but he also got a nice firm pec there.

"How do you have muscles everywhere?" You nagged with so much frustration while he could only laugh.

The club was in full swing when you arrived. Chan doesn't like going to this kind of place, but since you were the one who insisted on him going, he had no choice but to surrender. It was that or you dragged him there yourself.

"This is my friend, Chan!" You introduced him to your friends from university and took the tequila shot on the table, gulped it down your throat.

You gasped as the alcohol burned down your throat.

Your friends stared at you and they were probably pissed because it was supposed to be girls' night out. No bros allowed.

"I know, I know. But he's leaving tomorrow," you quickly explained to them, "so I thought why not celebrate two things at once!"

You grabbed the drink in your friend's hand and took a little sip.

Yet your friends still stared at you, "oh come on!" You stomped your foot on the floor.

"Cute me some slack!" You whined, "he'll be away for three months!"

But it seemed like they doubted your words.

"It's not that," one of your friends finally spoke up.

"Are you sure he's just a friend?" The other chimed in, while the rest gulped at how blunt her question was.

You sighed and gave your friend her drink back, "Look!" You began speaking.

You pulled Chan by his elbow to your side and linked your arm with his, "you can be friends with anyone with dicks and not hop on them, okay?" You sneered.

"You guys should know that better!" You rolled your eyes at them, slightly annoyed.

Chan let out a dry laugh, he agreed with the point you tried to utter but not so much with how your word it.

"We're just friends. And we've been friends for like..." you glanced at him and tried to get a hint of the answer.

"We're just friends!" Chan stated, putting an end to the conversation and the doubts your friends have about you and him.

My #1 post of 2022

THREE OF A KIND.

PART I

Bangchan x reader x Hyunjin. (s)

Chapters: Part II / PART III

Author's note: pls let me know if they should do it again!

"Let's play a game!" Chan announced, grinning from ear to ear that his dimples sunken in his cheeks.

With his red cheeks and silly laughs, you were sure he was slightly drunk. You turned your head to the other side to look at Hyunjin and exchanged a knowing glance.

"Is he drunk?" You whispered.

Hyunjin giggled, "I think so," he whispered back and took a sip of his drink.

The three of you were sitting on the sofa, facing the table that was filled with an array of snacks and a few cans of drinks from juice to the half-empty bottle of liquor.

You were surprised to have them visiting your place for a spontaneous little get-together that led to you pulling out the bottle of rum you have in your alcohol stash.

"I'm pretty sure I put a lot more coke than the rum," you said to Hyunjin.

Hyunjin shrugged, he took a bag of chips from the table, "you know he's bad at drinking," he commented, then shoves chips into your mouth in which you voluntarily took and ate.

Chan scooted close to you on the sofa, "Come on! Let's play!" He announced again, along with a toddler-like whine.

When you were about to speak, Hyunjin fed you with more potato chips which you reluctantly took and ate again. You glared at Hyunjin, and he responded with a giggle.

"What are we going to play, Hyung?" Hyunjin asked, put down the bag of chips then dusted off the food crumbs on his lap.

Chan pulled out something from behind him and made it seem like a magic trick, you chuckled at how silly he looked when he did that.

He slammed the thing and took it out of the box that turned out to be a deck of cards.

"Have you been hiding it behind you the whole time?" You asked him.

Chan laughed, he pushed his curly dark hair to the back and took the deck of cards in his hands, "I always come prepared," he said.

"Hyung, you haven't told us what we are going to play," he reminded him of his unanswered question.

Chan held up his hand, "We're going to play suck and blow,"

"Oh!" You exclaimed at the mention of the game name you haven't played since your last college party.

"You know it?" Hyunjin asked from behind you.

You nodded because the answer was obvious, "yes,"

"How do you play it?" He asked.

At first, you thought he asked you that to make sure you knew, but it was actually the other way around.

"You don't know?" You asked him back.

He shook his head.

"I'll give these cards a good shuffle while you explain how the game works to Hyunjin," Chan said, then began shuffling the cards even though it was no use to do that.

K-Pop Song Interpretation: "1 Trillion (1조)" by AKMU Lee Chanhyuk

youtube

What's your first song of 2024? For me, it was AKMU Lee Chanhyuk's first single, "1 Trillion (1조)". It's a synth-pop song like his previous releases in Error album. And the cover... is that a recreation of Queen Elizabeth II in pound sterling coins?

I can tell that he's one of the genius storytellers in this world. "1 Trillion" contains a story of a 14-years-old-boy with his dream to have coins with 12 zeros. First, he told his father. Seems like the boy's dream isn't more than a nonsense one. The father said that it was 1 trillion and told him, "I'll buy whatever you want right now. So sell that dream to me, my son." Guess what is the boy's answer?

"I realize, 'what? It's not a dream!' Now that I've heard it, it's a prophecy. I think a hundred times and it was fantastic. Wait dad, I can't sell it to you. Cause this will come true true true true. 1 trillion come true true true true," – "1 Trillion" chorus.

It goes the same for the second verse. The boy met his grandma and told that he would buy her an airplane. Still in his dream, he found a huge amount of money. It's getting interesting when it comes to the 2nd pre-chorus. I think it was Lee Chanhyuk's story when he was a kid.

"I didn't know when I was a kid. Being on the stage and closing my eyes, really, I think I could seize it."

"1 Trillion" released exactly at 12PM, January 1st 2024. Quoted from hankooki.com, Lee Chanhyuk heard that someone's first song in the new year will become a metaphor for that year. So, he wrote this. He wishes his listeners tons of luck in 2024.

"At 00.00 on January 1, 2024, I hope that everyone who listens to '1 Trillion' will have great luck, like winning a fortune," he said.

I wish you good luck too, my dear readers. Don't forget to listen to "1 Trillion" by Lee Chanhyuk on your favorite digital music streaming platform.

I'm so in love with Run BTS from their new album. I could write a whole article about this piece. Firstly it reminded me of their beginnings. The rap line dominated the songs and even the vocal line spoke more than actually sang. But when the sing it reflects their ranges so freaking well. Especially Jimin and Jin in the bridge part are killing me every time and then later on their falsettos *chief kiss*. V and JK are the basis for the other two and also kill their parts. The rap line as whole just flexed. I was killed and got sent to heaven. Yoongi just rapped without taking a breath like it was the most natural thing ever. Hobi showed a complete new voice in my opinion,I have never heard him like this. And RM's flow is so fucking vibey you need to move your body to it. I just stop here but this song is one of the best songs I've heard ever. Period.
