#YES I've been won over by this show lol honestly love when a show proves me wrong

[ryansjane]

a boss and a babe is giving me all of the most random combination of gmmtv actors I like lmao, book hugging mike on that bike had me weak, mike & fluke bickering on the beach was iconic & fluke cracking leo’s poor back made me laugh. not even mentioning force & thor being exes lol, it’s like a randomly generated lineup but it works bc they’re all my underrated faves, so slay <3

17 songs of 2017

totally out of order, i just wanted to write this for myself and see what I was listening to. leggo.

1. KARD - Rumor

I love the concept of a mixed group, i love that mv, love the moves. all in all - a bop. and they were releasing hit after hit this year, like wow, that was a super consistent success. and also one of the boy's voice is deeper than my social anxiety issues. props for them, i love KARD.

2. WINNER - Fool

give me a moment to wipe my eyes, please. ok, here we go. this song was actually the one that brought me into K-pop this year. I was always aware of the genre and I've listened to some suju and 2NE1 before, but I was never a die hard fan, I was never into it as much as I am now. and my first step in this direction was this song. gosh, it is so, so good. I've understood exactly one word of all the lyrics in this song and nevertheless I've bawled my eyes out every time I've listened to it in the night, alone, dreaming. idk what was the story of WINNER when there were 5 members, and I do not care, honestly, because those men have obviously hit the jackpot this year, getting all the love and fame they could with such high quality hits, and that one member that got away is probably cursing himself all the way to hell right now.

fool is a ballade that stays with you for long. the simplicity of the accompaniment, the light sound, the heartfelt voices and the sincerity of it all makes it unforgettable. a true winner for me.

3. GOT7 - Never Ever

oh god, I thought this song is 100 years old and is a classics of k-pop, but it happened to be released in 2017, so strange. not the best song of got7 /gif of bambam niga hamyeoning in the background/, but it's decent. maybe 'you are' is overall better, but this one has the vibe of that iconic song that everyone knows, so I put it in here. also i've listened to it lots so.

4. SISTAR - Lonely

a surprisingly good one, soyou and bora's vocal are stunning. I've listened to it a lot this year, and only now I've realised that they've disbanded. that's what's really sad indeed. starship loosing girls bands like wigs. thank god for monsta x.

5. Seventeen - Clap

better than dramarama 100%, I'm being objective here. it's has a clever mv, smart choreo (hoshi is literally a god and proves it every freaking time, he's impossible) and a nice instrumentation. also that break in the live ver. with joshua in front gives me chills.

6. BtoB - Movie

because HOW CAN YOU NOT?!! ilhoon as the joker? minhyuk as james bond?! DO YOU DIE LIKE I DO?! this song is totally my style. funny, funky, great vocals - that's btob for you. in my opinion songs like this one suit them the most. it is like a /movie lol/ ray of sunshine, it gives me the most pleasant feels. it may be not very mainstream, no heavy edm/dubstep or over-the-top choreo, but it certainly found it's listeners. I adore this song. peniel's rap was a killer, wow, fresh and clean indeed, and let's not forget about that iconic music show performance where they all were cosplaying various characters, oh dear, only btob can pull that off.

7. BewhY - Wright Brothers ft. C Jamm

or any other track from the blind star album. see, this is not even k-pop, this is korean gospel rap, for god's sake, and still BewhY kills the game with his hits. yes, that man is powerful like that. bobby, zico, mino, they are all idols now, but BewhY would never be one of them. he is one of a kind, honestly. he has his own style, his flow is effortless and unique, and those silences, did you feel them? his significant silences say more than half of the idol rappers' parts would ever say. the world has been blessed by this album, strong power thank you hallelujah.

8. Monsta X - Beautiful

okay, now listen. maybe it is not an ultimate masterpiece or smth but this was the song that made monsta x more popular in the industry and I'm very grateful for that. but I am still struck by that fact that they only won their first show with dramarama. like honestly? where the fuck was everyone when 'hero' was in promotion? the l e g e n d a r y, absolutely terrific mv for the 'all in'? and literally no one giving a single fuck about 'stuck' when this song is actually a blessing sent from heavens? and my baby hyper man jooheon released his 'rhythm' in early 2017 and no one cared? DID YOU SLEEP WELL, KOREA?!

also the boys slayed this song, btw.

9. EXO - The Eve

damn son, this one is hella sensual. out of all EXO songs that were released this year this one got me the most. ko ko bop is a bop indeed, but the eve has that vibe that pleases me more. also the vocals. I'd probably kill for d.o.'s voice. and that choreo. kai and sehun have no mercy. a great song. special mention for the whole 'the war' album though. I lived.

10. Super Junior - Black Suit

this song is so stylish, classy, has such a chic vibe that you can't just forget it. every time I hear it I smile, dance and lyp-sinc, and I do it literally anywhere, I just can't help myself. this song gives me energy and I have a few memories that I've made bc of this song that I'm very fond of. it is kinda in the same league as BtoB's 'movie', but is more on the dramatique and chic side. the legends and the true kings of k-pop.

11. NCT127 - Cherry Bomb

THAT. MOVE. don't lie, you know what I'm talking about. what a legendary choreo, mother father, holy moly. I am in love with nct because imho thy have the most unique style from all the k-pop groups I know. they are fresh, young and totally wild. their charisma is a weapon of mass destruction. and pls don't get me started on mark. you know, the one that has a 'long ass ride' through all the NCT units and thinks of himself as of a long lost EXO member.

so this song is a hit, it's catchy as hell, it has a great beat, great rap parts, killer hook, bomb choreo, smart mv. it was made for success.

12. BtoB - Missing you

yes, I'm heavily multifandom, but how on the earth, tell me, can you not stan a group where you have, aside of other members, one of the most outstanding vocal line in k-pop nowadays (hyunsik is great at making songs and his voice is great, changsub's falcetto is giving me chills and sungjae is so talented it's unfair to us mere mortals, but eunkwang is... well. silver light. let it shine forever). I think that maybe this song will be forgotten by most people with time, but when btob sing it live it really touches you deeply, and the lyrics are great. I've cried, yes. and also btob actually winning things that they deserve with a ballade is giving me a strong sense of justice existing in this world.

13. VIXX - Shangri-la

did you fucking see this aesthetic masterpiece? if yes, than no words are needed, you've heard and seen it yourself. the song is nearing perfection, the synthesis of minimalistic electronic sound effects and unique asian flavours is majestic, not to mention that they've finally had a DECENT DROP GOD SAVE ME, I've been waiting for a decent drop in vixx's songs since forever. and the performance of this song on the last day of 2017 k.o.ed me completely. a total must-see.

14. G-DRAGON - Untitled, 2014

I need to have another moment here. well, this song is something fragile, delicate, and something so vulnerable, even thinking of it makes it hard to swallow. I've cried to it too. it feels like a confession, not romantic, but personal. the vocals are stunning, you don't always need to be a terrific singer to impress people with your voice. sometimes it's about the colours of the tembre and the way you use it, your imagination. G-DRAGON has it all and more. this song, people, is what is called 'art'.

15. Heize ft. Shin Yong Jae - You, Clouds, Rain

I love heize's style, and the combination of those voices was a win. such a great song honestly.

16. Red Velvet - Rookie

it is so cringy it hurts, but it is a good pain. ma shupa rookie rookie rookie.

17. WINNER - Really Really

did you really think this year's list of k-pop personal hits could go without this jam? really? pfft. everyone knows this song, I mean everyone. thank god they've actually won some music with this song at least. the fact that they didn't win the daesang for the song of the year still sounds ridiculous, sha-sha-frickin-sha. in conclusion, really really is an ultimate bop. neol johahae.

this was unnecessarily long and you absolutely don't need to write an essay like I did here, or write anything actually, but I'd really like to see what songs were you listening to the year, @floraleona and @theblobmaster 😊❤
