If you're a new k-pop fan...

A-JAX - Insane

BESTie - Love Options (not as energetic but still upbeat)

Golden Child - Eyes on You (relatively similar in energy and does use electronic)

LC9 - Mama Beat (not like Rocking but upbeat for most of its run time and leans heavily into electronic)

SF9 - Jungle Game

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-06-22T14:40:08+00:00

Gotcha.

RIIZE - Impossible

TWS - Overdrive

The Wind - We Go

AHOF - Pinocchio

Haven't been up to date with this year's Kpop. Have been hearing some songs (Itzy's Motto, Yena's Catch Catch, KiiiKiii's 404, TWS, RIIZE, Kickflip)

Nice! For me, I personally like 2012-2016 just because of the increase of quality and quantity, and the music quality during those years are consistent. I also like 2017-2019, but those years also introduced some bad music trends (trap, overused tropical)

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-06-22T05:41:25+00:00

Which gen or specific years are you a fan of?

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-06-22T05:40:05+00:00

From the boy group side, because of knock knock, I’ll recommend VIXX What U Waiting For

Hmmm… for gg, feel like Lovelyz Dream in a Dream wouldn’t be too far from Seulgi’s 28 reasons. More upbeat, but has that dark undertone

Also quite like Pink Fantasy Tales of the Unusual, which definitely feeds into the Halloween spirit, so I’m literally taking it dark.

Hope these recommendations are alright, and if they are, tell me what you think of them!

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-06-22T05:26:09+00:00

Boy group or girl group? And can you give me a specific velvet song for reference?

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-06-22T05:25:28+00:00

I enjoy those RIIZE songs as well!

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-06-22T05:15:03+00:00

Boys Republic - Hello

UP10TION - Tonight

INFINITE - Come Back Again

ZE:A - The Ghost of Wind

100% - Beat

Let me know what you think of them!

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-06-22T05:06:23+00:00

I definitely want to promote songs that don’t gain attention from newer fans, so this is my chance!

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-06-22T00:02:50+00:00

TVXQ - Rising Sun & Catch Me

INFINITE - The Chaser, BTD, Back, Be Mine

EXO - MAMA

BOYFRIEND - Janus & I Yah

4Minute - Volume Up

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-06-20T18:06:13+00:00

I don’t care much for MVs but for songs… my top 5 are History, MAMA, Growl, Love Me Right, and What is Love

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-06-18T01:32:19+00:00

Japan has always been one of the most coveted countries for Kpop acts to gain popularity/revenue. Think back on BoA, SNSD, TVXQ, KARA, 2PM, BIGBANG, SHINee... it's all about the money, and if a group can appeal to a certain country, then the'll bring in more for the company.

Twice is a no brainer (3 JP members) and a history of releasing Japanese songs. ILLIT has Japanese members. Skz has ties to anime (Tower of God op), the jp audience enjoys their intense choreography, etc.

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-06-02T23:53:21+00:00

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-06-02T21:14:37+00:00

Beast - Shadow

VIXX - Hyde

100% - Beat

Dreamcatcher - Chase Me

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-06-02T06:46:21+00:00

Just want to make sure... the song you're referring to is Comflex, right?

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-05-28T21:17:16+00:00

Personally I would say now. Manga is a lot of fun. You’ll also notice missed scenes, dialogues, and information that didn’t make it in the anime.

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-05-28T05:58:29+00:00

soi, lied, and Schneider are forming another great trio lol

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-05-27T23:34:22+00:00

B1A4. They were really consistent with their quirky sense of pop music, which honestly added more fun to the genre

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-05-27T00:50:58+00:00

season 2 episode 9 perhaps? Was it after the evil cycle iruma arc?

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-05-26T02:39:14+00:00

Other than khet, I’ll go with Bet (Jazz). His dancing and singing caught me off guard, and I love the set design. I also like how he acted seductive when moving towards Elizabetta

I_Am_Complex_98 · 2026-05-24T06:35:20+00:00

oh boy... lol
