My Top 15 K-Pop Songs of 2023

I genuinely don't know how, but somehow we have made it to December 10 2023, exactly 1 year after my top songs of 2022 post which I've decided to make a permanent thing on this blog. This year I was a lot more organized with formulating this list - I created a spotify playlist in January, and any kpop songs I cared about this year I added to it in chronological order. This list includes songs released between 2022/12/10 and 2023/12/10, and is entirely based on my personal opinion - feel free to let me know ur top songs of the year in the comments and rbs <33

(15) BYOB (bring your own best friend) (English Ver.) - Billlie

I just know some eyebrows are being raised but HEAR ME OUT, this song just speaks to me. It’s not a club banger, it's not an anthemic stadium hit, but it is something for the girlies, and I love it.

(14) Girls' Capitalism - TripleS LOVElution

What a hilarious concept for a song, TripleS is too good. Is this song literally just ‘Generation’ the sequel? Yes! I don’t care!! It’s really good!!!

(13) Standing Next To You - Jungkook (BTS)

Now I’m not an army, and none of Jungkook’s previous singles really spoke to me, they were catchy of course but not for me. This song, on the other hand, is artistry. His passion for what he does is so obvious in this song, I am severely impressed.

(12) Spicy - aespa

Aespa just KNOWS how to do a concept. So many other groups would feel stagnant with the futuristic concept, but aespa keep reinventing themselves perfectly while retaining a sound that is so distinctly them. Spicy is peak girl pop; Ningning you outdid yourself on this one.

(11) Drama - aespa

Can aespa release a bad title track??? Drama would probably be higher if it came out earlier, but based on the month I’ve been listening to it, this is an absolute punch up for aespa. Our stint in the real world was fun and all, but we’re in kwangya again and it feels fucking good. Aespa, keep doing what you’re doing, and I’ll keep streaming.

(10) Fast Forward - JEON SOMI

People didn’t like this song this year, but I fucking loved it and this is my list. As a UK resident and 80s music enjoyer, this spoke to me on a molecular level. I know it's trashy, I know it's been done before, I don't care. Fast Forward is amazing.

(9)  In Bloom - ZEROBASEONE

Category is: Boy Group Kpop (but it's actually good). Pure excellence, this is how to sample a classic song, this is how to debut, this is how to break the mold of boy groups and do it with actually good music (cough cough boynextdoor cough cough). Imagine if they kept this energy for their first comeback. Imagine lol

(8) Cherry Talk - TripleS +(KR)ystal Eyes

People (including tripleS stans) loooveee to shit on this song but it’s literally their best song since Generation, and I will stand by that. This is extremely LOONA coded, if you don’t like it, that must suck for you. BOOM CHERRY TALK CHERRY CHERRY TALK.

(7) Cool With You - NewJeans

They’re literally too good. I have no words.

(6) ETA - NewJeans

NewJeans said this year that being consistent hitmakers is easy actually, this song is fucking excellent. Controversially, I love the production, it's so funky and subversive. I got this song from day dot, if you get it you get it, if you don’t you don’t, and if you don’t I feel sorry for you xx

(5) Attitude - fromis_9

This is fromis_9’s second time showing up very high on my yearly roundups, I’m thinking I need to pay more attention to them. This song is the shit I live for in kpop, its SO HIGH QUALITY. Not a second wasted in this song, just pure goodness throughout. Fromis’s ability to be so extremely on trend never ceases to amaze me. This song is really fucking good, and the whole album is too good as well. Fromis_9, you have my attention. (that actually wasn’t on purpose lol)

(4) Air Force One - ODD EYE CIRCLE

Utter euphoria. That’s what this song feels like. LOONA had a rough 2022, and orbits were feeling it. We were boycotting and fighting for the girls to be free of that fucking company, and when we won, we were happy of course, but mostly exhausted. Then Odd Eye Circle dropped ‘Air Force One’. This song feels like a second wind, it builds up and up from the first second, tension rising, exhaustion fading and then ‘ready set and GO’ and its ANTHEMIC. You can exhale now, the work is done, LOONA is fucking back.

(3) OMG - NewJeans

Oh look, more NewJeans. The audacity to release one of the best songs of the year on January 2nd is crazy. ‘OMG’ is so effortlessly catchy, it’s ridiculous. It’s full to the brim of hooks and creative melodies, this is pop music at its best. It’s serotonin in a song, and the ability and self assurance of the members in their skills is palpable, and oozes from the seams of the track. In a somewhat forgettable year of Kpop, NewJeans were constantly reinventing and redefining what a hit is, and OMG is the physical form of that. Congratulations NewJeans, nobody is doing it like you.

(2) Sugarcoat (NATTY Solo) - KISS OF LIFE

I am being deadly serious when I say this song altered something in my brain. I struggle to comprehend how much I love this song, and I’m struggling even more to express that in words. I found Kiss of Love’s other debut songs to be quite fun, but this song eclipses anything they have ever and will ever release. Natty is such a powerhouse, I am in awe of her skill. If you haven’t heard this song, which is upsettingly likely as while this song had a moment on TikTok earlier this year, it was still a quite niche trend that didn’t last long, PLEASE go and listen, this was the best song released in 2023. But, this list doesn’t just include 2023. It also includes that tiny window after December 10 when literally no one releases music. No one except…

(1) Ditto - NewJeans

Ditto is one of those songs where you listen to it for the first time and you’re left a little bit speechless at the end. I don’t think I’m ever going to forget this song, or how it makes me feel. Ditto has changed the kpop industry forever, and it will go down in history as a defining moment of the genre. It’s melancholic and nostalgic and heartfelt, it's laughing through your tears, it’s hugging your best friend before you go your separate paths in life. I still get a little tug on my heart whenever Hyein’s beautiful intro vocals come in, and I think I always will. NewJeans, you’ve released a lot of amazing music this year, but thank you especially for this one, I’ll love it forever.

[sanstropfremir]

4th gen bg haven't gained popularity outside of their own fanbases which is also why it's rare to see like any of them on variety shows but I've been getting the feeling that ggs are still doing pretty well? Like gg always have been more popular but IVE's been doing like insanely well and even itzy and aespa have done leagues better than the 4th gen bgs from the big three. Anyways I'm sure someone already asked but what 4th gen groups do you think people should keep an eye on on or check out?

that's because girl groups have double the intended audience than boy groups lmao. girl groups are marketed to male AND female audiences, but boy groups are only marketed to female audiences, for many obvious heteronormative reasons.

alrighty (cracks knuckles) you want recs? lemme give you some recs:

purple kiss: debuted 2021. had the most perfect first comeback and have a no skip discography. great performers and have really good intro choreographies. bside recs: pretty psycho, cast pearls before swine

billlie: debuted 2021. they got a big boost in popularity thanks to gingamingayo but i'm gonna rec them anyways bc they deserve it. their debut track inexplicably samples christmas music. they did an excellent kick it cover. bside recs: flipp!ng a coin, overlap

pixy: debuted 2021. flop bc their company is tiny but they do a mean horror concept and have some of the best bsides in the game. they're having a comeback right now pls support. bside recs: greedy, the moon, moonlight.

xg: debuted 2022. they're a korean japanese collab group so they don't promote the same way as other groups do. absolute banger of a first single produced by simon from dalmation, and they're going to be releasing another at the end of the month

cignature: debuted 2020. also flops but they make bangers. boyfriend is what caught my attention but i'm a big fan of assa as well. bside recs: villain, hinghing

tan: debuted 2022. formed from a literal survival show and has the MOST second gen energy you will see outside of someone from second gen. which is fitting because one of the members is actually second gen. incredible rnb debut track and the english version is even better. and here's an acapella version for good measure. surely this traffic light cover will cure my mental illness. they're about to have a comeback that's gonna blow my brains out. bside recs: literally just listen to their whole ep it's three and a half songs.

tempest: debuted 2022. the new boy group from yuehua (woodz's agency). super fun debut track and they're very promising performers. i would commit a crime for hanbin (pink hair). bside recs: bad at love, just a little bit

blitzers: debuted 2021. major first year theatre kid energy and i find it so endearing. the debut choreo involved spinning their maknae 360 degrees for no reason. their first comeback was my favourite choreo of 2021. bside recs: hop in, love bottle.

nine.i: debuted 2022. the most insane (figurative) debut choreo i have ever seen. here's me losing my shit about it in the tags, and here's a reaction video they did where they explain all of the move choices. so basically content made for me and me only. also one of their members produced their entire ep. bside recs: beauty inside, wasted youth

tnx: debuted 2022. these boys are FRESH (like debuted a month ago fresh) but i've been keeping an eye on them thanks to this frankly better than it should have been win cover. all those boys made it into the group btw. bside recs: 180sec, burst up.

omega x: debuted 2021. formed entirely from members of disbanded 3rd gen flop groups as a 'second chance' type group. if you want crunch, here's some crunchy. if you want bright, here's some bright. bside recs: younger, action, bounce with me

dkz (formerly dongkiz): debuted 2019. these boys are mega flops that have already gone through a name change AND a lineup change. absolutely banging music and they do mostly bright and fun concepts. see: cupid, crazy night, lupin, blockbuster, fever

a.c.e: debuted 2017. they debuted in hot pants with only a fetish gear company sponsorship and a dream. they. are. singers. who. SING. they're officially on hiatus rn bc 4/5 of them are in the military but you should still support them. see also: take me higher, down, changer, goblin, undercover

onf: debuted 2017. they're also on hiatus because they all enlisted at the same time (minus their japanese member u) but you should still support them because they produce summer bangers. see: sukhumvit swimming, complete, popping, beautiful beautiful, we must love, goosebumps. also one of the greatest bsides of all time

onlyoneof: debuted 2019. blew up a little bit last year for doing a homoerotic pseudo kink choreo with a dick grab. if you like stuff adjacent to western indie/alt music these are the boys for you. see: savannah, dora maar, sage, angel, designer, gaslighting

golden child: debuted 2017. picking up the story mv slack. one of their members can play paganini and if you don't know what that means, it's not an insignificant skill. see: pump it up, wannabe, burn it (also a story mv)

oneus: debuted 2019. it's likely that most people know about oneus already but in case you didnt, you're welcome. extremely strong dance group and with impeccable concepts. also they have the actual best fourth gen dancer yeo hwanwoong. see: luna, bring it on, no diggity, valkyrie. their sibling group is the kband onewe and you should check them out too.

ok that's enough for now, i think.

Limitations:

1.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ No underage

This rule is pretty obvious.

I will not write smuts for idols who have just recently turned of age. I will only accept requests for idols who are 18 years old if they have been of age for six months max. However, fluff and angst might be considered for them.

2.‎ ‎ ‎ No over-the-board kinks

Kinks I'm okay with are: daddy/mommy & unnie/oppa kink, breeding, degradation, squirting, power dynamics etc.

I won't be judging you if you are into them, but don't expect that I will write the following: feet, full-on noncon, scat

3.‎ ‎ ‎No beastiality

Requests can be made by clicking on the talk balloon with a plus sign on the right-hand top side of my blog, or you can scroll up and click the last link linked in Introduction. Too lazy? Just click here to do it.

If you are uncomfortable revealing your username, you can toggle the anon function when you leave an ask/request.

Requests are always open but will take a while because I write them whenever I feel like it.

Please be specific with it. Do you want it to be smut, angst, fluff...? Which idol do you want it to be?

Don't spam the same thing over and over. I'll get to it in a while.

I can reject a request if I feel uncomfortable with it or simply do not want to do it. But besides that, I'm pretty open.

Notes & Reminders

I get that many people don't like smut, or fanfiction about real people in general. So if you are one of them, you're free to block me or simply click off my blog. It's that easy, trust me.

Other than that, whoever comes across this blog, I hope you enjoy my writing. It's been a while since I wrote this much so I'm kinda rusty, but with enough feedback and experience I'll probably be good enough to go.

And for the love of God, please do not copy or plagiarize my work. Do not even try to convert it or post it on another website without my explicit permision. It has happened twice already, and I've only written here for a month.

If you want to post it somewhere like Wattpad or AO3, DM me about it. Same method goes for people who want to translate or convert my stories.

Also, the only social media I have for my writing and fanboying are Wattpad (@iznsfw) and this Tumblr blog. I am not active on any other social media, for my writing or personal life. So, if you see my smuts on this or any other platform that aren't under the designated blog name, please report it to me. Similarly, if you see people claiming to be me on any other platform other than Tumblr and Wattpad, please report it to me.

Hey hey may I ask about #9, #17 and #21 for 2021 review please?

9. What are the songs that stuck with you since they came out?

this is difficult because if i like a song, i'll listen to it obsessively until something new catches my interest, so they all end up sticking with me. but i'll go with abittipsy by youha because i feel that she's criminally underrated. this song was love at first listen for me. anything 80s inspired is an automatic favorite. it's great to blast in the car on the way to work at 6am.

17. Favourite choreographies?

ooo's libidO for obvious reasons. it's not an excuse to rewatch the guilty pleasure version, what are you talking about?

also literally still obsessed with txt's no rules. it's probably my favorite txt routine, period. just so fun and energetic.

taemin's advice and kai's peaches - naturally.

billlie's entire dance practice playlist. i go back to their rave de favela dance a lot. they are just...so good.

ive's eleven was also great. loved the formations in that one.

oh, and i liked itzy's swipe choreo a lot. that was fun. and that's all i can think of.

21. A moment that still lives in your mind rent free?

bring back ooo dumbass tiktok era in 2022

it's 2021 review o'clock

[kangtaebins]

billlie for the ask game

Aaaa!! Im glad someone said billlie bc I’m just starting to become interested in them!! My best friend really loves them and has been trying to get me to stan so I’m familiar!

Favorite member(s):

Suhyeon and Tsuki! (Believe it or not, I've had a Tsuki facecam in my list of things to gif for a hot min and will get to it eventually!!) For Suhyeon, I noticed that I would point her out every time my friend showed me a photo of them. I would always be like "Omg who's that she's really pretty? What' her name again?) She has a very pretty voice. As for Tsuki, I feel like it's obvious- her facial expressions on stage really surprised me. I couldn't believe how amazing she is!! She's got such great stage presence and confidence when she's up there! I'm like ok period go bestie!

Favorite song(s):

Given that I've only heard their tts, I have to say Gingamingayo. However, that's so valid bc that's one of the best gg tts I've ever heard,, I said what I said. When I tell y'all I BLAST that song in the car- I mean it. The whole neighborhood can hear it

Why I don’t stan (yet) / if I want to:

I simply just haven't listened to their b-sides or learned all their names yet. However, I want to stan! I just have to see more content from them I but I really like them rn

Question for veteran fans:

Which bsides should I listen to first? Are there any facecams in specific that you'd like to see me gif?

💌 Send me a kpop group!

Who are some 4th gen groups that you've been listening to/watching?

my tastes flip all over the place constantly, so what i'm listening to on a daily basis is extremely variable, but there are definitely groups that i've been keeping my eye on and have made their way into my general rotation!

purple kiss - another absolutely flawless discography. like actually. they have two eps and they are both perfect. also they're great performers please watch zombie if you have not already.

billlie - excellent performers, excellent discography. they're still so new (they debuted in november!!) but again, lots of promise. i recced gingamingayo already and there's a couple more bsides on the playlist.

oneus (and onewe) - when will they blow up and get the recognition they deserve? both of their discographies are flawless, and oneus has amazing choreo (black mirror!!!!) to boot. other recs: valkyrie (their debut?!?), luna, rewind (the choreo has moves from all their other choreos in it), regulus, veronica, tbh just watch this 30min live set.

onf - obvs they're on hiatus rn which is honestly tragic but i really like their discography and 2021 brought us some of their best bangers (goosebumps), but also sukhumvit swimming is a personal fave.

onlyoneof - i've talked about them before, i'm a big fan of their discography. i love what they did with the choreo for suit dance, thank god someone is finally using costumes with intention.

a.c.e - also on hiatus, much to my eternal dismay and the tragedy of the whole industry because who is holding up the vocals now that donghun AND jun are gone??? it feels weird to call them fourth gen and i don't usually group them in the fourth gen category but i'm not gonna pass up a chance to promo my boys. changer, down, undercover, savage, goblin, take me higher.

ateez - that was probably obvious, given the state of my blog. i don't listen to the hugest spread of their discography but they are one of the top performance groups for a reason (my two fave songs are on the playlist below)

blitzers - my fave bg debut from 2021!! i love these boys i think they have so much promise and they do not seem to take themselves all that seriously which i love. will make a mistake made my best choreo of 2021 list!

cix - just a good solid bg. they're pretty good performers, they have a good creative team, and they make bangers. jungle is unfairly good.

some interesting things from rookies from the last few weeks:

this absolutely fucking BANANAS pink fantasy choreography; even though the mv came out in nov they're promoting now for some reason.

this new bg trendz has some really fun choreo; one for trauma (fantastic opening sequence) and one for their title track villain (excellent prop work? i'm so impressed with their choreographer). i think this is their debut(?) so i'm gonna be keeping an eye out for them in the future.

and here's a playlist of some of my fave fourth gen tracks, which is covers groups and also soloists! it's not totally comprehensive of all my faves because i cut a lot for flow, but it's a pretty good indication.
