I started to get into K-Pop in 2018 due to the KDA Popstars Live Performance of Soyeon for the LOL World Championship.

After rewatching that Performance too many times my YouTube recommendations were pretty K-Pop heavy. With Jennies SOLO which got released around the same time I started to watch a lot of Blackpink content.

After this I warched the subbed 2NE1 content I could find. In 2020 I binged a lot of ITZY content after Parus et ITZY and Wannabe. Then I found Dreamcatcher and watched about all of their content.

In 2022 I went to my first K-Pop concert with the Sunday of K-Pop FLEX and later in the year the Berlin and Tilburg shows of Dreamcatcher's Apocalypse: Follow Us Tour.

Obviously the main language for Kpop is Korean. But with many songs also having Japanese versions, more and more English ones releasing nowadays, and even some Chinese versions existing. Do you listen to those? And do you only do so if there is no Korean version, or do you preffer a certain language?

I often like Japanese versions as I can speak it a bit while I can't speak Korean, so it's easier to follow along in my head. I guess there being some similarities between the languages' grammar and stuff make it easier to translate, and most sounds are quite doable to learn to pronounce, making it work easier to make a more natural sounding translation. Next to the amount of Japanese members ofc.

But I personally don't like most English versions of Korean songs as it just really sounds like it was clearly not meant to be in English giving it an odd flow. Most exceptions to that are songs that are completely rewritten instead of translated, like Weki Meki's Cool/100 Facts and songs that are originally made in English.

Chinese has been hit or miss as it really depends on if the idol can pronounce it well. It really seems to stand or fall with if the artist already speaks Mandarin or not.

Of course Korean versions are always good.

KARD - Cake (www.youtube.com)

This has got to be the best KARD song to date. My favourite used to be Dumb Litty, but I find myself putting this on repeat way too often.

Reminder to never skip the B-tracks. Not just for KARD but in general. They tend to have the some real gold.

Community seems dead but maybe it'll get back to live with the current Reddit drama, so in good hope!

I've been into Kpop since 2nd gen, and so far 4th gen hasn't been my fav era. But, that doesn't mean there is no good music! There have been some absolute bangers too, so wondering what are some of your fav releases this year so far?

For me it's between:

  • Le Sserafim - Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard's Wife
  • Ive - Blue Blood
  • KARD - Cake

I personally like Soompi, but I keep thinking if I'm restraining myself too much for not looking other sites/forums.
