My #1 post of 2022
youtube
translation by LAZYMOODZ from the video comments. they also translate other moments.
Starting @ 27:02 *Rough translation* About (THAT) kiss scene in ep.6 (:
Host: For Phayu & Rain cp, their kiss scene was screen capped a lot and it shows that it wasn't just a kiss only when it's zoomed in. There were some details. So let's talk about it, was there that much detail?
Boss: Uh.....
Host: Just a moment. Nong Rain first... You were the one who initiated it. You're the one giving him a reward. How do you feel seeing the screencaps that show a bit more than just a kiss?
Noeul: You mean...
Host: Every scene that we all were screaming about with you two.
Noeul: Yes so... Host: Did you see what I saw?
Noeul: Yes, I know which screencap it's about. (5555555) If you're talking about THAT screencap... it's not in the script everyone. It's what Boss and I improvised ourselves. Because like I mentioned, at that moment they are two ppl crazy in love who is sharing intimacy. And at that moment, they love each other.
Boss: Yes... and I want to explain further...
Host: Were you surprised?
Boss: (To Noeul) Were you surprised?
Host: Just think that Boss isn't here...
Noeul: So actually, I can't even remember what I did. Because at that moment, I was focused on him. I wasn't thinking like... we didn't have anything in the script that says we have to, 'touch here or touch there.' I just felt that I love this person and I love him very much. He also loves me too. And I was in a happy mode. I was enjoying it. So I put everything into it. He's mine. I acted with those feelings at that time. And, I can't remember the things I did. When I watched it again... it's like what everyone saw.
Host: When you saw the UNCUT did you realize what you did?
Noeul: Oh, it was clear. (555555)
End around 29 : 00
moo i’m gonna need a list of your favorite kpop songs and groups because now i’m invested since i know you have good taste
Hmm well get ready for a long list then because I've got lots. I'll bold the songs (and artists) that are my TOP faves from the whole thing (because I know it's gonna be a daunting list) and put an asterisk (*) next to the songs that have amazing mvs on youtube that make the listening experience even better 🤌
Obviously I love all of mamamoo, but some notable ones that I listen to a lot by them are 'I Miss You', 'Taller than you', 'Diamond', and 'Hip*'
'Maria*' and 'I'm bad too (feat DPR LIVE)' by Hwa Sa
'bboom bboom' by momoland
'MUSE (feat Paloalto)' by Hannah Jang
'Cause I'm God girl', 'Flower Shower', 'Follow me (feat Wooseok)' and 'Red' by HyunA
'Gucci' and 'zoom' by Jessi
I like most of (g)i-dle's songs but some of my faves are 'oh my god', 'hann', 'latata', and 'senorita'
'Swim- virus edit' by youra
'A.M.A.F.' by saay
'Dont hang up' by suran (feat ph-1)
'Eight*' by IU
I pretty much love all of BTS but here are my all time faves from them: 'black swan*', 'mama', 'lie', 'friends', 'jamais vu', 'spring day*', 'so 4 more/2nd grade', 'trivia: seesaw', 'singularity*', 'answer: Love myself', 'outro: tear', 'anpanman', 'don't leave me', 'pied piper', 'first love', 'look here'
okay I will stop with BTS because I'm a bit biased toward them considering they were the group that introduced me to kpop in the first place lmao
Okay I lied I'm not stopping because now for the solo albums from bts members:
'tokyo', 'badbye', 'everythingoes', 'do you', and 'change' by RM
'Hangsang', 'daydream', 'blue side' by J-Hope
'People', 'so far away (feat Suran)', 'give it to me', 'the last', and 'interlude: set me free' by Agust D
And they're not on Spotify UNFORTUNATELY, but also: 'promise' by jimin and '4 o'clock' by V and RM
'If you' and 'fxxk it' by bigbang

'DOOM DADA' and 'Turn it up' by t.o.p.
'Whisper*' by VIXX LR (very homo mv for this one fellas)
'Hoodie', 'Tuxedo*', 'Damnra', 'Leopard (feat Solar)', and 'Brag' by Ravi (Ravi is also a big mint chocolate chip fan and even remixed one of his songs and turned it into a Mint choco anthem so he gets TRIPLE my respect for that)(also his voice is just so sexy that I told my partner that if his voice turned into a person I would happily cheat on him with it. He is okay with it)(literally the two Koreans I'm legit in love with are Hwa sa and Ravi and they've both been called "unattractive" by Korean standards so I guess I just have GREAT taste)
'HALA HALA' and 'pirate king' by ATEEZ
'Back Door*', 'Gods Menu*', 'Red Lights*', 'Thunderous*', and 'Maniac*' by Stray Kids (best way to consume stray kids music is by watching their MVs because WOW they're so good like wow WOW)

On top of listening to kpop, I'm also really into k-hiphop and k-indie, so I'll give some recs for those too if you're interested in giving them a try
K-Indie (or R&B or however they would classify these types of songs that I feel don't exactly fit into kpop. If im wrong then shhhh im just going off vibes okay):
'Dancing in the Rain', 'EXIT', 'Cloud', and 'Say Hello Inner Child' by Rad Museum
'Comes and Goes', 'Settled down', 'Big Bird', 'Die Alone', 'Wi Ing Wi Ing', and 'Love ya!' by HYUKOH (literally all their songs are so good though, oh hyuk has a BEAUTIFUL voice)
'Its you', 'SEATTLE', 'MAMA DONT WORRY', and 'NO SENSE' by Sam Kim
'Your dog loves you' and 'Poem (shhh)' by Colde
'No one told me why' by ALEPH
'hawaii in seoul', 'lost in seoul', and 'Waves' by DNYDK
For K-hiphop:
'J2B' by YUMDDA (feat DEEPLFLOW, paloalto, The Quiett, and Simon Dominic)
'Siren remix (feat uneducated kid and Paul Blanco)' by HOMIES (Paul blanco's verse in this song literally MURDERS me every time)
'Feedback', 'Let's disco dance', 'Memoir (orchestral version)', 'Raw (feat Seungmin Kim)', and 'Rambo' by Gwangil Jo
'fine! (feat kid milli)' by punchnello
'vv 2' by GIRIBOY feat CHOILB, Hayake, Kid Milli, and Seungmin Kim
'115 (feat pH-1)', 'under the ground (feat dean)', and 'Wu' by nafla
'business boy (feat nongmill kim and BLOO)' by Huh!
'bodega' and 'UFO' by 99 God
'BESIDE', 'Dressroom', 'not ok (feat ski dash)', and 'IZZEN' by H!GHLY BASS (definitely an underappreciated artist and he deserves more attention)
'SUPERBEEWHY' by SUPERBEE (feat BewhY)
'to all the uneducated kids too' by Olltii
'DOKI DOKI', 'YESSIR', and 'MAMA (feat bangkokboy)' by Ski Dash
'Wet (feat Jessi)', 'Bbung', '1 Week', 'Kari', and 'Yah, Nuh' by Flowsik
Aaaaand let's end it there 👌 hope you find something you like! I know a lot of these recs are pretty popular but there are some lesser known ones too that I think deserve way more love and attention 🖤
the smf leader/subleaded/rookie/etc choreo videos just all came out and they really are something i guess. i do not personally get the creative decisions to shove like 293838 men into the two middle groups or cut dance videos like that but Oh Well. personally chosing to focus on how fascinating the styling for the subleaders choreo was. like, thoughts? visually they look semi-fantasian (for lack of better words) but you turn the volume up and its bibi & yoon mirae so … ??
took a break from my graphic design hole to watch these and.......well. mnet has never learned a single thing i guess. i'm not really sure either why the choice was to add the two 'middle' sections, bc the original way they did it in swf with just the leaders/subleaders was fine. adding the rookies worked great too, since it was still kept to eight, but then designating all the other guys as 'middle' is lowkey disrespectful lmao. like yea everyone is not the same ability but you don't need to all label them like that, yeesh. my issue with a lot of these choreographies + the way they are directed (and it was the same with swf) is that they're not very good routines because of how broken up they are via editing and use of scene changes. this especially applies to the middles, bc those are basically just two person choreos that they half-assedly expand to include 16 people. the middle 1 choreo has a cut in the middle of it that doesn't make any logistical sense in terms of the flow of the piece, and it's the same with middle 2. i have to assume that mnet has some kind of requirement for having them separated out on risers like that, because wow does it fuck with the flow AND it looks bad.
vata had a great intro for the leaders but then immediately undercut everything with shaky camerawork and a ton of cuts, whereas it would have been so much stronger if they'd kept in that first space and actually showed the transitions between everyone. the rookies was very 'pop six squish cicero but what if we were BOYS' (boring, you could have been cuntier about it, esp with a sik k song), but it did manage to stay all in one place and keep its flow. i think wootae did the best job actually, since he was willing to go beyond the hiphop styling that everyone else is stuck in bc men are fragile. he also used the camera very well, and the cuts are mostly feasible transition points (other than the costume changes). also i like the set the best as well, since it looks like it's the inside of a building atrium/courtyard that they just added plants and ionic columns too, which makes it this kind of weird space between industrial and fantastical. since the title of the song is 'love and war' (law), i'm assuming that all the juxtapositions were intentional, including the more fluid costuming. i'm not sure that it's totally conceptually coherent as a piece, but it's more interesting than any of the others specifically because it looks different, so that's a good thing
vangdale: remixtape "pharmmate" VITA 0930 kcpresent party MIX SET edit ver* on soundcloud. remixes of other songs BUT unreleased original tracks by vangdale, wondior, chillin homie, venko, moon sujin, leevisa.
way ched & trade l: ched & L (to be released on sunday). feat leellamarz, sik-k, jay park, street baby.
Have you read about the drama between Sik-k and Swings?
yes haha i commented a little here.
basically i don't see the point or sik-k's problem. swings isn't perfect, but he does a LOT for the community and is working really hard to promote and support tons of newcomer artists, to me this is somehow the wrong time to diss him. like at least he didn't sell his companies to some giant corporation like jay park btw 😬
this makes sik-k look childish and a bit self-centered because it's obviously a personal problem here that he's trying to turn into a community problem, trying to pull others into it (haon ofc and then he started it while featuring for leella, nsw yoon, and street baby which kind of makes it reflect back on them as well). maybe he's doing it for album promo??? maybe sik-k has a serious reason for hating swings but he can't say it?? but like this it just makes him look dumb :/
funny side fact is that no one cared enough to stop sik-k's feature on kid milli's album, and kid milli will probably return the feat when sik-k's album comes. (idk for sure, but i would assume swings is executive producer on kid milli's album, and it is KNOWN that he will make money off of it) so it can't be that bad? 😂 *edit: all while kid milli didn’t know about the fight 😂😂😂
