Nine's Top Kpop Songs of 2018 (Part 3)

Yeah,  so I'm bad at remembering to write these out for whatever reason, so expect that these are going to worse and worse in quality as we get close to the end.  30. Crush - Weki Meki Ever since the group was announced, I've been in Week Meki's court. Doomed from the start, I was the only one who liked their debut track,   I Don't Like You Girlfriend , as it was critically panned by literally everyone. Their first comeback La La La fared no better in the eyes of the public. Crush , however, was a leap forward for them, even if it came at the cost of almost all originality. I can't believe that that's a good thing, but it is. There's really nothing super exciting about this song; it's a generic pop song that literally any other group could sing. It's saved from mediocrity due to Yoojung's great rapping; she really makes or breaks the track. In general, this song benefits from having a great hook in the chorus. It gets caught in yo

Okay bitches  here we go part 2 I definitely remembered to start writing this one up yup yup yup 40. Hi High - LOONA It saddens me that Hi High is so down low on this list, like FavOriTe before it, but honestly it's because LOONA's title track as a group have not lived up to the extraordinary hype of the solos.

As far as LOONA songs go, this one is a little bit more generic, as the group aimed to go more public friendly with their debut. It's bright and airy and definitely a summertime song. It uses electronic sounds to create an almost magic effect (I mean that thematically). There's this rift that goes thorough the song that's just frantic and wonderful and gives a sense of both whimsy and fear. The bridge does a great job of slowing things down before it gets

Look here it is the post no one was waiting for. I've had this list assembled for about a week now, and I've just been too lazy to actually write out the blurbs for every song. Like last year, there will be 50 songs, and therefore 5 posts. I'm still debating on if I want to put my 10 honourable mentions or not, because honestly this list could have been a top 60. We'll see. This list will be updated daily over on my twitter as well. Before I begin, I just want to say a few things: I am working on a new LOONA theory, but it's taking awhile. I'm about 2000 words into it and only about an eighth of the way through the whole planned thing.  I am the mod over on the jbj subreddit , and would really appreciate some more active users, since I can only do so much and the sub is so dead. Yes, I'm kind of begging but whatever. If anyone who reads this is a Joyful I would greatly appreciate the help.  I am planning on this blog actually being active more in 2
