Nine's Top Kpop Songs of 2019 (Part 1)

Hello all! Welcome to the first part of my 2019 list. If you've been paying attention to my twitter , you'll know that there have been some issues with posting threads with YouTube links. This is apparently a bug in an algorithm but it doesn't seem to be fixed. As soon as I can make a video thread I will do so. Until then, please enjoy the blog posts only. How the list is going to work is I'm going to post my honourable mentions (rank 60-51) with no explanation here on part one alongside ranks 50-41. Each post will also contain a bonus song which is not list eligible, or a song that didn't crack the top 60. Without further ado, let's begin. Honourable Mentions 60. Flower Shower - HyunA 59. Don't Need Your Love  - NCT Dream and HRVY 58. Hit - Seventeen 57. Red Sun (021)  - GWSN 56. I'm Not Over You - Ryeowook (Super Junior)  55. 365  - LOONA 54. Goblin   - Sulli   53. Can

XX and Butterfly (The Atrociously Late LOONA Theory Post)

Do you ever promise something with absolutely 0 hope of any follow through?  Well, that's been me with ever updating my poor LOONA theory. Its been 10 months since "Butterfly" was released, and I never did a follow up theory on it. Which has been awful for the one person who occasionally contacts me on my twitter asking for me to update. Well, here it is my friend. Sorry to have kept you waiting. Before I begin, I want to give you a little bit of an update of my life as to why this post hasn't happened. I've had all my notes since release, so there's very little room for an excuse, but I'm going to give you an excuse nonetheless. 2019 has been a year of immense change for me in my personal life. I've gone harder on the dating game since I actually have some semblance of order in my life now. I moved out of my parents house. Recently, I've started (or will start) a new job in the legal world. And my nails have never been longer so it

Nine's Top Kpop Songs of 2018 (Part 5)

So, instead of sticking with the plan of these posts getting consistently shittier as time went on, I decided to put some actual effort in to write this.  Please take note that this was a bitch to type out because currently my fingernails are too long for me to actually do anything but they were also professionally done so I can't take my heathen nail scissors to them there's literal nail art going on.  FURTHER EDIT: You ever start making a post after you get your nails fixed so that they're short again so you can type only to realize that you're just lazy? Yeah, me too.  YET ANOTHER EDIT: You ever been so lazy that you write 5 words every 7 days. Yeah, me too.  10.  Egotistic  - Mamamoo Mamamoo really did it for me this year. I often don't listen to their releases until well after the fact, but after my love of  Starry Night  became apparent I had to listen to this as soon as it released. And I was not disappointed. This song is Latin inspired, brass

Nine's Top Kpop Songs of 2018 (Part 4)

Listen, I never promised consistency in posting.  I hope everyone had a good New Year's celebration. I drank a shit ton of wine, ate lobster, and smoked just the tiniest bit of weed while getting rejected by men on online dating sites. Here's hoping that in 2019 I can actually keep up with writing this blog.  20. To Heart - fromis_9 While the way I wrote about Glass Shoes  made it seem like that track was fromis_9's debut, they really didn't debut until January 2018 with To Heart . The track, for the most part, just sounds like a stereotypical APink-knockoff that wouldn't really turn heads. And it really didn't, considering that the song itself didn't have a lot of success. Now I like this song for a few reasons. Firstly, there's a real string section! You can hear real violins! It's fantastic. It's even lampshaded in the video itself with Gyuri playing the song on her violin. It's absolutely fantastic and sets the mood for the e
