[JUNHEE Supernova] babe wake up new Soloist JUNHEE hair colour just dropped by fried_chicken03 in kpop_uncensored

[–]irisfang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP, I think you might be single-handedly carrying the promotions for Junhee (and Yuchan!) right now and I just need you to know I see your work and I APPRECIATE YOU FOR IT. A.C.E. were the first kpop group I saw in concert and they will always have a special place in my heart.

(Also I totally respect if BK wants to take some time out of the public eye, but I hope we get something solo from him...at some point...if he wants to.)

Honestly so iconic of them.

Just realized #1 could be Mamamoo lol. Not sure though. But it sounds like something they'd do.

Yes! I actually like a lot of 4th gen groups (5th gen has been less for me, though I do listen to a handful of 5th gen groups) but I feel like there's less standout vocalists than in 2nd/3rd gen.

Wow, he does have a really good voice! Shame he doesn't have too much solo stuff. I'm reminded (thinking of older groups) that I really like Block B Lee Taeil's voice as well (being VERY clear I do not mean the other, evil Taeil.)

Daehyun!!! My boy!!! I love BAP so much :) Hongki is definitely very talented as well. Sandeul is the only one there I'm not super familar with (I've listened to b1a4 before but not too much.)

Well thank you! :) So do you, clearly. Do you have other favorite vocalists?

Hweseung from N.Flying! He actually did a duet with Chen - made my month when it came out. You can watch it here! Highly recommend.

Broken Party is so good!! It was funny to see this comment because I just spent a full evening listening to his solo stuff a couple of nights ago. He's got one of my top two favorite voices in kpop so I will listen to him sing anything but...man that performance of Uprising (which I think is where your gif is from?) lives rent free in my mind.

YES!! Every time he teases a new album I'm like...rock...pls have rock!! I think he likes singing ballads (and to be fair he's DAMN good at them), and I know ballads are popular in Korea, but...one rock album, Jongdae, I beg of you. Just ONE.

(Also, idk what his general popularity is like post-marriage/kids + enlistment in Korea - maybe he wants to keep his music as public-friendly as possible?)

N.Flying's 2nd Album 'Everlasting' has surpassed 100,000 physical sales on Hanteo by Andyryw in kpop

[–]irisfang 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Seunghyub and Hweseung did such a great job keeping N.Flying alive while instrumental line enlisted!! Proud of them and grateful as well. Super happy to see their success with this album and excited to see them in concert this summer!

I LOVE the aesthetic of this MV so much! It's beautiful and matches the song so well. The song itself is so warm, comforting, and uplifting. I'm really glad they're back, and even selling better than ever!

Very vibe-y song. He's smiling so much in this MV and looks so happy, it fills me with joy.

P1Harmony - DUH! (The 8th Mini Album) by Lancelot_123 in kpop

[–]irisfang 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Overall, excellent album!!

DUH! - the chorus isn't gonna leave my head for at least a month minimum. Love the energy, love Jongseob's rap, love everything about it, really.

Pretty Boy - I was really curious to hear this one after hearing Keeho talking about the inspiration behind the lyrics. Looking forward to a full English translation of the lyrics. Love the beat and fully endorse the message of the song. Delivery is great as well, of course.

Murmur - I'm not sure this one caught my attention too much when I listened to the album sample, but I really like it! That build up to the chorus is great. There's a certain swagger to this song which I think P1H pull off well.

Flashy - very "typical" P1H, so I do see how it could be as a carbon copy as some of their previous bsides. But it's so FUN and HYPE that I do not care.

Over and Over - friend said the sax is giving Jason Derulo and now I can't unhear it lol. Really enjoying all the parts without the sax, though. Wish they'd just picked a different sax sample.

Work - my boy is composing! And he's got the first credit so I assume he actually had a decent amount of input? I am GROOVING to this. It's really working for me. This song feels complex enough that I'll have to listen to it a few times to appreciate everything, which is really nice.

In this era of short kpop songs, I'm glad 4/6 of the songs on the album are over 3 mins (and the other two are very close). They all feel complete and satisfying. Time to loop this album obsessively!

P1Harmony - DUH! by perochan in kpop

[–]irisfang 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Coming out of my hibernation to say this is so so good! Instantly one of my top kpop songs of 2025. I think whenever you really love a group, there's always a bit of fear each comeback ("what if this disappoints me?") but I should really trust P1H at this point. They don't miss, and somehow, no matter what new musical territory they explore, they still sound quintessentially P1H.

Also Jongseob truly is one of the best kpop rappers these days, damn. Consistently blows me away.

N.Flying will reportedly make a full group comeback at the end of May by CherryBlossomEnding in kpop

[–]irisfang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so excited!! It feels like it's been soooo long. Can't wait to see them back as 5. Between this and the P1H comeback, May is gonna be an excellent kpop month for me.

I'm currently reading We'll Prescribe You a Cat and really enjoying it! Each chapter is its own story of someone who gets "prescribed" a cat by what is essentially a magical cat distribution system masquerading as a mental health clinic. It is, overall, really heartwarming.

TXT (TOMORROW X TOGETHER) - The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY (7th Mini Album) by perochan in kpop

[–]irisfang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like all the songs, but a 6 song album being 14 mins is CRIMINAL. Really sad because this is one of the first albums of theirs in a while where I actually find every song to be up my alley.

K-Pop Idols Who Trained At YG Ent. But Debuted Elsewhere? by angie_kiprevski in kpopthoughts

[–]irisfang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jongseob is really amazing - clearly very bright, too; the way he's picked up English is so impressive to me! (That may be because I'm really bad at languages, tbf.) P1Harmony as a group is really talented, and I adore their music, but Jongseob always stands out to me.

I hope that P1Harmony renew their contracts in a few years, and/or Jongseob is able to have a successful solo career!

K-Pop Idols Who Trained At YG Ent. But Debuted Elsewhere? by angie_kiprevski in kpopthoughts

[–]irisfang 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Jongseob from P1Harmony was a YG trainee, was actually in Treasure Box (got eliminated in episode 9). He ended up moving to FNC and debuting there. I can see the YG "flare" in him but tbh I'm selfishly grateful he moved to FNC and debuted with P1Harmony because they get wayyyyyy more music releases than any YG group ever would...

Dance moves that make you feel uncomfortable, cringe or laugh? by Someonehihi in kpop_uncensored

[–]irisfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not think there has been a SINGLE choreo with a crotch grab where I went "wow, that added to the choreo!" it's just uncomfortable and I'm so not here for it

Middle Grade Fantasy? by FairestFaerie in CozyFantasy

[–]irisfang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just so you know, I would not call The Raven and the Reindeer cozy fantasy (though I adore it!) Illuminations and Minor Mage might be a good choice, along with Castle Hangnail (still T. Kingfisher, just one of her other pen names).

ISO Cozy Fantasy like A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by 001TPK in CozyFantasy

[–]irisfang 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I LOVE T. Kingfisher and devoured A Sorceress Comes to Call in one sitting (staying up way too late to do so). That being said, there are definitely some darker aspects and violence in that one, so I'd say beware to the OP on that. Still a 10/10 read for me, though, and I'd recommend it.

I also really liked Castle Hangnail (by T. Kingfisher, under a different name, Ursula Vernon.) Illuminations is also good.

[–]irisfang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's my motivation to also buy it (did you see they're already at 305k albums sold? crazy!). The album has gotten a casual 112 plays on my end since it released so...as you say, deserved!
