le sserafim's "antifragile" is pretty good, is a k-reggaeton wave on the way?

kep1er's "we fresh" is the fun sort of kitchen sink song

KARA showing the kids how it’s done. “When I Move” isn’t as good as their classic Sweetune tracks (a very high bar), but boy do they sell the hell out of it

Excellent medley of their greatest hits at MAMA too - these songs sound as massive as ever a decade on:

i don't really understand what the point of a kara reunion single is if they didn't get sweetune to produce it. it's fine but what could have been...

IVE - Love Dive - narcissistic, my god I love it
not sure if i have a fave k-pop song this year. Maybe IVE - "Love Dive"

absolutely loving the joyously silly Gershwin refix of "birthday" perhaps in spite of myself, very embarrassing to bounce around to

It's cool to see SNSD and KARA be successful with better-than-expected comebacks

from last month but Nature - "Limbo!" is great - feels very classic kpop

Very vibe-y track - might have to vote for both that and Hype Boy come year-end

catching up on various things i missed, kep1er's "up!" is quite cool
idk what will make my eoy list beyond "feel my rhythm" and "ditto" though which are such standouts

haven't decided which NewJeans track to vote for, I was going to nominate "Attention" too but didn't want to vote split (though maybe it might encourage people to check them out idk. i did nom the EP as well fwiw)
I'll prob vote for "Love Dive" and "28 Reasons", maybe "Antifragile" too. "Feel My Rhythm" grew on me, but I still don't love it that much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
