YONGIEEEE HAVE YOU EVER READ FOR KIM HANBIN?? OR HAVE ANYTHING IM CURIOUS 🌎

I only did one reading for Hanbin and it was mostly related with his relationship with Lee Hi ! but I never read for him as a whole ! i really want to do a solist reading (with him, woodz, dawn, etc)

Etienne’s Top Fives of 2022: Kpop Edition - Soloists

Moving on to my next post in my top fives! In general, I’m not as in to soloists as I am groups just as a rule. One of my favorite things in music is use of harmony and voices working together, and that’s just something that groups are better suited to than soloists (and why a lot of my favorite songs of soloists are ones where they feature someone). That being said, the solists that I am into, I tend to be very into.

The category of soloists is going to consist of people who are (at least these days) purely soloists, and any members of a group where either their group did not have a body of work as a group this year or I only enjoy them as a soloist and not as part of the group. Someone who is debuting as a soloist but has previously been active in a group doesn’t count as a rookie for me, so all my soloists are in this list.

The list with representative MVs is under the cut!

Here’s a shoutout to the soloists that made my preliminary lists, but didn’t make it to the top five list (in approximately the order that I ran into their music this year): Woodz (”I Hate You”), Yein (“Plus N Minus”), Lee Sujeong (“My Name”), and Choi Suhwan (“Chance”).

5) Ryeowook

Ryeowook’s mini album, including “Hiding Words” (above) and “Bluebird” (https://youtu.be/fDIi1XFUWMs) was an amazing showcase of his voice. While he still participates in Super Junior comebacks as they happen, I pretty much only follow his solo career of the still active Super Junior members. His voice is beautiful and really captures his preferred genre’s emotions so well. I do appreciate the sort of magical realism of the MV for “Bluebird” though, and dithered over which one to pick as the representative song. In the end, “Hiding Words” is my favorite for how incredible his vocals are here.

4) Ryu Sujeong

I am so excited for a few of my Lovelyz biases to be starting to release solo music post Lovelyz that I actively like! Yein is in my honorable mentions above (as is Lee Sujeong who wasn’t one of my Lovelyz biases but had an excellent song anyhow), but Ryu Sujeong’s “Pink Moon” (above) was definitely my favorite solo release from a Lovelyz member post leaving Woolim. It really showcases the versatility of her voice and a direction that her style could be going as a soloist. Definitely looking forward to what she does next!

3) Lee Chaeyeon

I was so excited for Chaeyeon to finally have her solo debut! While I’d been hoping for her to eventually re-debut in a group post Iz*one because I feel like she really thrives in a well balanced group environment, I’m pretty happy with this album and MV. I was able to listen through to the album several times after it released and found it enjoyable and noticed new things each time. I love her voice, I think that the overall concepts present in the album and MV suited her, and most of all, I was relieved she was doing things again. Many of the songs off the album went on various of my playlists, and I do come back and listen to a lot of them just to listen to that song. I think that “Danny” (https://youtu.be/GOP_bBJ1pOo) also deserves a special mention here for having incredible storytelling based choreography that really captures my interest to go along with an awesome song.

2) Chungha

Chungha’s “Sparkling” really did a good job of showing off her voice and is yet another song and MV in her growing list that show off how versatile as a dancer and vocalist she is. She’s got such a nice voice, and this release is catchy. She’s such an amazing performer, and as I always, her releases make me want to see what she will do next along with really appreciating her current work.

1) Changmin

A thing that a lot of incredible vocalists in Kpop don’t have yet is vocal maturity, and Changmin’s “Devil” is really showing off just how complex and interesting Kpop gets when you have vocalists into their thirties who are really getting into the strength and maturity and richness of their voices. Very few vocalists in their teens and early twenties could execute this even a fraction as well, Changmin couldn’t have executed this even remotely this well in the early stages of his career, and I’m glad that he’s stuck around long enough to give us this incredible song. His voice is so rich, and he’s exploring new styles to him that showcase that. I am really hoping that we keep getting incredible solos from him that showcase that vocal maturity and richness.

While I’m not generally as into soloists as I am into groups, feel free to recommend things to me! I’m sure that I’ve missed people that I would really enjoy.

Lee Hi icons ; Soloist.

Yeah Is me again, I'm sorry it was to keep them IN the closet haha I hope you understand my confession. Also I will ask you, Do you think pple will care for bts or other kpop group in the future??? At las in america? I ask you this because I see a lot pple hating on bts mostly because of their fanbase and because they find them manufactured and fake.

Not in America but they will be legendary like shinhwa and seo taji in the future when they get in their 35-40s for sure BTS will be.Blackpink will be reveered like S.E.S and TLC (black american girl group) Shinee will be those feel good legends that really stand the test of time of our teens and young adult years with Jong having more increased somber respect. HyunA will be an icon in her older years but her relationships antics to stay relevant will be talked more about her, her humbleness won’t succeeded lee hyori’s, hyuna will not be with e’dawn in the future, but will be a mother but her face won’t take too well to her surgeries. Mark & Taeyong will go on to be big and Taeyong could do somethings in America, America would respect NCT more than BTS tbh, don’t ask me why. KARD may collab with an american artist soon. SNSD will be MEGA legend but in a quiet way. Hwasa will go on to do great things and do urban sounds as well as Big OST’s for dramas. Same for Hyolyn. Taeyeon will get knocked up and Yuri will be married, Seohyun too. the other sistar girl who did some song will do big things that korean public will love. Someone from 2pm most likely JUN.K will become producer and writer for other idols. Lee Hi will be remembered as woman who didn’t bloom all the way in her best years but will release really good songs securing her as solist singer.  Taeyang plays things too safe and unless he goes for it with taking a risk to come to america, he will remain in korea having kid once hyorin gives in. Public will always regard him well unless he fucks up.

Taemin will become an iconic figure in his own right and viewed as one of the best dancers of his generation to the public.  shinee’s replay will be one of those “oldie but goodie classics” that elders will look back on. In America Taemin could do some great things with dance that will get him a reputation among the industry as a good choreographer, but that is if he tries.

But yes BTS somewhat put themselves in that position to get hated on although they should never be judged for their appearance. But after taking a longgggggg break from BTS and looking at them now.......what people say about them does kinda sound true. BTS is a group one needs to be a stan of to understand them to get it. They do look like women and sound like very gender neutral almost like women like on some tracks like dynamite so although it’s fucking frustrating to hear they look like girls, I see why.
