So a while back, I asked for k-pop recommendations (particularly up-beat dance-y type songs to jam to) and I got about 10-15 recommendations. I then did my own research into most popular/Korean pop songs sung in english that I could sing along to. Here are the songs I found that I liked the best. These songs are in my ever growing k-pop playlist on Apple Music and I have listened to them on repeat since I rediscovered “Gee” by Girls Generation (introduced to me by a friend wayyy back in high school!). Enjoy! These are all alphabetical for your OCD needs.
TLDR; I realized recently that all of these are really fun upbeat tunes so this is my contribution to the tag #kpop recommendations

hello all! this is my formal intro into kpop tumblr bc i don't want to flood my usual blog with my nonsense.
my name is bb and i currently stan 19+ groups (with varying levels of commitment). my ults are txt and purple kiss but i know and love a lot of groups, and i especially love to talk about them! i'm always looking for kpop friends so pls pls message me if you are too!
It's 2024, can we stop assuming idols who are part of the LGBTQ+ community just because "we get a feeling"?
First of all, why does it matter to YOU who they love/date?
2nd of all, assuming someone is gay/queer without them saying it THEMSELVES is extremely disrespectful and can be extremely harmful.
Unless they have said it themselves, unless it has come out of THEIR OWN mouths, do not assume and go spreading your certain idol is part of the LGBTQ+ community...or ANYONE for that matter.
It's not your job in the first place. Know your boundaries.
i've gone through all my old documents from back when i started getting into kpop (2008/9) and i have a folder full of old question based tag challenges (we used to call them memes???) and idk i think it could be fun to upload them and see newer fans go through them.
a lot of them a kinda fic writing based, but some of them are kpop based specifically i think.
most of the bands people stan nowadays weren't even a concept yet back then and most of the bands i was into then aren't together anymore.
is that something people would be interested in it?
Another year has gone by, but there were still some mishaps, dating rumors, lawsuits, and controversies in the world of K-pop. A lot of groups lost members or disbanded this year, either because artists wanted to move on from the idol world or because there were some messy behind the scenes fights with their agencies. So, here’s my annual list of the most important scandals of 2022.
