샵 모음 - S#arp Music Playlist

If any K-pop fans want to try something new and a bit different from newer K-pop songs, please try S#arp.

Trust me when I say they are a lot of fun to listen to (even when you may not know or know the story/ background of S#arp), their music in just one album is like a roler coaster tome it is at least (OMG trying to explaine why I like this group is just 😆😁)

When you love music of a K-pop group, that is no longer active, and not many people know/ like but also want them to become more well known and their music to become popular again. (It's like keeping a secret or keeping something to one's self so no one else can have but at the same time want other people to know and love.)

S#arp is one of my first favourite coed K-pop groups that debuted in the late 90s (ahh, when K-pop was quirky and different, the early years of K-pop (in my opinion, of course, some may agree) and one of many favourite 1st gen kpop groups.

It's probably a minor frustration of mine and or any other lover of old K-pop songs like me, is that you can't find full Albums or even a single song of sed K-pop groups, duoes, soloists and bands on Youtube both in English and Korean (mostly 80s and 90s that I'm talking about).

Even though Youtube made a playlist of S#arps songs, almost all their Albums (4 albums out of 6 and 1 compilation Album) are on there, which is why there is another playlists of S#arp's music that has 2 more of the Albums.

I've watched this video 3 times, and it's one of the reasons I got interested in 90s K-pop in the first place. I wish more people that like K-pop know about the history/ foundations of K-pop (the 90s is when K-pop was pretty much born by Seotaji and Boys).

@anemoiawithatouchofobsession and @kpopsunbaes, do you also find this a bit annoying, or is it just me.

December Wrap Up

Wow. It has been a whole twelve months since we have started this blog and now we are on the final, official post of the year! A mega-post compiling the top songs of the past year, as well as official departures and disbandments of groups from 2019, will be up on our main blog @kpopsunbae​ (make sure to go and follow us there for more content, although it will be quite a bit different than what we put on this blog). 

As some of you may know, this blog (as well as the previous one, @kpopotd​) are project blogs that end once the year is done. This means that while we will no longer post on this blog it will remain as an archive. We will however be back with a third blog in the future as a continuation of this blog (it will cover 2016 and onwards!). This does not mean that we will go completely off grid once 2019 is done though! 

This coming year of 2020 has a lot in store for us, your K-Pop Sunbaes! We currently have a website to overhaul, an Instagram to properly launch, and of course we will continue releasing podcast episodes! Remember to follow us on Twitter too, our handle there is @kpopsunbaes (updates will be on there and you can interact with us too!). 

On a final note, we are so appreciative for the love that you all have given this blog over the past year. It has been such a fun experience and the three of us have had a blast working together on the blog, having meetings, and eventually completing just under 900 posts. We hope you will continue to support and follow us in our upcoming endeavors. We wish you all a very Happy New Year! 

새해 복 많이 받으세요!

❤ JR, Min, and Onyx
