Good to hear he has an agency again. But Galaxy Corp have some mad AI/VR ideas and don't be getting any slop on our Taemin you guys!

I don't post my views on every new Kpop release I hear, but I will note that neither RESCENE -- Busy Boy nor H1-KEY -- To My First Love have really landed with me.
I have been a keen supporter of RESCENE in the past, so I was thrilled when I saw this unheralded release, but what I heard disappointed me. Perhaps "Busy Boy" will grow on me -- or perhaps not. I was not too happy to read that the release has something to with blockchains, which I associate with crypto awfulness.
"To My First Love" ought to be my cup of tea; it continues the vigorous rock of "Good For You" and this style is perhaps a little musical callback to GFriend's rock sound, to complement the visual references to the GFriend "Rough" MV. Yet it didn't grab me and the chorus evaporated from my memory as soon as the MV finished.
So that's this week's dose of Kpop disappointment. Yet my feelings of anticlimax will be as nothing compared to what some BTS fans* will experience if "Arirang" does not live up to expectations, because those expectations are so much higher and the sense of emotional connection with the group so much deeper than anything I feel about either RESCENE or H1-KEY.
Are BTS fans here in the Fediverse engaging in expectation management? What are your hopes and fears?
* I write "BTS fans" rather than ARMY because I am never quite sure how the latter term works grammatically.
I'm always glad to see the LOONA members releasing music 🥹 Yeojin sounds immaculately soft on this song too :blobcathearts: welcome back baby :blobhaj_heart:

cw: lens flares
First comeback for these 5th gen boys. Always such a shame when these new groups struggle to afford proper clothes. 😅 Most of these boys were backup dancers for A.C.E while their maknae is still in high school???? Lort have mercy....
Oh right, the song. Well, the song is pretty typical fluff dance pop but really, you're probably going to be distracted by the dancing anyway.
It's just your basic late night shuffle. 💜

2. 하성운 (HA SUNG WOON) - Electrified
3. KEY - Can't Say Goodbye

I cannot reasonably be expected not to post this one. We've already had Uhm Jung Hwa's version, but TXT's tribute deserves a place on the list too.

Ah well .. it's a #SundayAlbumQuilt on Monday again, because distractions.
There are no surprises at the top of this list. It's the new album I'm obsessed with, the album I was obsessed with last week and the artists whose album imma be obsessed with in a few days. :blobcatgiggle:
Lots of BTS and Onew this week too, my ears are clearly anticipating all the exciting things!
What was your fave track last week?

cw: flashing stage lights, the hip monster's hip rolls
Live vocals for the win, but watch out for those hip thrusts. Or, if you're not feeling strong enough to withstand Yeonjun in white pants, look it up on your player of choice.
