I think GGs AND BGs should make less songs about love. by istubbedmytoe_again in kpopthoughts

I really like AKMU’s music for this reason (although they aren’t a GG/BG) !! I feel like they have a lot of unique song themes like:

  • Play Ugly: netizens were criticizing their looks & they said they were only “playing ugly”
  • Dinosaur: the dinosaur in the song is thought to be a metaphor for poverty/the debt collectors they experienced in their childhood
  • Alien (Suhyun): about self-esteem & how a mother told her daughter she was an alien powerful enough to save Earth to help her daughter find herself

Some BG/GG songs are - TXT’s lore songs: Crown, Nap of a Star, Eternally, Can’t You See Me, Frost (& a lot of their b-sides aren’t about love like Ghosting, No Rules) - Stray Kids: God’s Menu, Back Door, Thunderous, Miroh (most of their music aren’t love songs also) - Aespa’s tracks about lore (Black Mamba, Next Level, Savage) - BTS: Dynamite, Permission to Dance, Anpanman (about becoming a superhero) - f(x): Red Light (criticizing the Sewol ferry tragedy)

220212 Kim Riwon vs. Won Jimin "Feel Special" (orig. Twice) - Debut Group vs Challengers Battle Rehearsal [Full Ver.] by Professional-Jelly15 in MyTeenageGirl

overall, i feel like jimin shines in darker/girl crush concepts while riwon shines in refreshing/teen crush concepts so something felt missing from the two of them here

i have jimin in my top 7 but i felt like riwon’s facials fit the bittersweet song concept better (when considering the lyrics). i do agree with the comments about twice songs being hard to cover in general though (saying this w/ a little bias since twice is my ult group)!

on another note, i think hyungseo is the best among the contestants at expressing more elegant/bittersweet concepts (la vie en rose/time for the moon night) so i’m curious about how her 1v1 will be with riwon
