    Ok. I do not have enough 2018 songs under my belt. 🤦‍♀️
    It’s a cheat and I am sorry, but going to have prior years. Going to paste the list I put up on my fan wall and add a few.

    1. Shine ~Pentagon. Pure sunshine and the group that started this journey.

    2. Move~Taemin. I kept seeing his name on dancer lists and vids. At first I was a bit underwhelmed by this and now obsessed. So deceptively simple.

    3. Pinocchio ~Taemin x Bewhy. I\’m going to have to look into more Bewhy songs. I just love the beat and the sound.

    4. Okey Dokey~Mino x Zico. I can not say or think Okey Dokey (yes, I actually say it ) with out adding the \”yo\”. Th his song is addictive.

    5. Countless~SHINee. Love the harmonies.

    6. Bad Boy (live version) x Big Bang. Love T.O.P\’s vocals in this version.

    7. rain bird ~Code Kunst. Love the feel of this song and what got me interested in Epik High.

    8. Here Come The Regrets~Epik High X Lee Hi. Her voice is everything. A Beanie rec and I thank you.

    9. Palette ~IU . I am way older than IU, but I feel like I\’m going through one of these self discovery moments. I think it\’s something we go through multiple times and they are kind of fun.

    10. Complex ~ Zion T x G Dragon. Zion T\’ s vocals are great and GD\’s part made me laugh.

    11. White T Shirt ~Jonghyun. Just fun and catchy. The live performance is so bright.

    12. Purple ~HyunA X E’dawn. Just tells the whole story, lol.

    13. Beautiful ~ Pentagon. Soaring vocals.

    14. Last Dance~Big Bang. First slower tempo song from them I listened to.

    15. Born Hater ~ Epik High. This one had to grow on me and now I love it.

    16. The Woman Who Can’t Break Up, The Man Who Can’t Leave~Leessang X Jung In. First korean song I ever looked up. Makes me wish I could sing along.

    17. Organic Song ~Pentagon. My White Rabbit.

    18. Love is So Nice~Jonghyun. A spring day.

    Special shout out to Ask Me About Kpop. I found this podcast not long after I found kpop. It just started this year but has been a wonderful companion. Just 2 best friends (in their 30s) talking and fangirling.

      “The Woman Who Can’t Break Up, The Man Who Can’t Leave.” That’s one heck of a title for a song.

      I adore SHINee’s “Countless.” I originally had that on my list but I had to make the painful decision to remove it to make room for another song.

      “Organic Song,” E’Dawn is a friggin’ genius.

      “Purple,” I did not know this song even existed! Ha, it’s fantastic! ❤️

        The Woman Who Cant Break Up is such a good song. I was into Running Man before kpop, but because of Gary I had to look it up. Really my first Korean song just didnt follow it anywhere.

        A Beanie posted Purple when that all went down. I think it was my first color coded lyrics video. I so appreciate all those fans who make those.

      I didn’t know TEL had an anthem in “Don’t Stop.” So appropriate now.

      YAY!!! You have an NCT song on there! ❤️

    I can’t really name songs, it’s more artists like Infinite, SF9, N.Flying, Momoland, FT Island. I really listen more OST’s songs than kpop.

      I like all those groups you mentioned with the exception of SF9. I know next to nothing about them save for their song “Now or Never.”

      There are some K-Pop(ish) songs on OSTs so, you never know what you might pick up. Plus, if you’re more of a drama watcher, you’d be surprised about the number of K-Pop songs that are part of the BGM.

    Not in particular order but here’s my list. I just noticed that I have a couple of songs from PRODUCE48. 😅 And that I still love my bubblegum kpop.

    1. iKON’s Love Scenario
    2. Red Velvet’s Bad Boy (not as quirky and upbeat as their earlier releases but I very much enjoyed their sexy and sultry side; the vocals are outstanding and the hook is so catchy; RV’s version of girl crush is just on another level)
    3. BLACKPINK’s Ddu ddu Ddu ddu *does gun choreo for the nth time*
    4. IZ*ONE’s La Vie En Rose (hearing of Wanna One’s disbandment is making me sad already for this group)
    5. Oh!GG’s Lil Touch
    6. BTS Jungkook’s Euphoria
    7. TVXQ’s Love Line (loved listening to this after a tough day at the office; loved how breezy and summery this song is and makes me want to go on a vacation; lastly, SM should’ve made Yunho do promotions blonde)
    8. iKON’s Long Time No See (really love this softer hip hop sound from the boys)
    9. PRODUCE48’s Nekkoya and its instrumental version (which never fails to squeeze a tear from my eye)
    10. PRODUCE48’s Rollin Rollin (just so cute and always puts me in a good mood)
    11. Chanyeol x Sehun’s We Young
    12. Taeyeon x MeloMance’s Page 0
    13. Red Velvet’s Sassy Me (a much superior track than RBB; should’ve promoted with this song instead)
    14. NCT127’s Regular (both Korean and English versions are so good)
    15. Zion.T (feat. Red Velvet’s Seulgi) Hello Tutorial
    16. BTS’ Idol (definitely enjoy seeing BTS perform this live)
    17. iKON’s Killing Me
    18. IU’s BBIBBI (love how candid, honest, and playful IU is as a songwriter)

    I don’t know who the idiot was that limited this list to just 18 songs, but, here’s mine–in no particular order:

    [1] “Tempo” by EXO
    [2] “Shine” Pentagon
    [3] “I Love You” by Exid
    [4] “Always You” by Astro
    [5] “Air” by WINNER–I’m kinda wishing I could just put like 75% of the EVERYD4Y songs + “Millions” on here but I’m trying to limit my list to 1 per artist. Thanks to @jenmole and @obsessedmuch for making this decision difficult.
    [6] “We Go Up” NCT Dream 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 (@raonah, they have seven members too. Although, Mark graduates from the group today 😭).
    [7] “Our Page” by SHINee 💙💙💙💙💙
    [8] “Miracle” by GOT7 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
    [9] “Simon Says” by NCT 127
    [10] “Pirate King” by ATEEZ
    [11] “Tell Me” by Infinite 💛💛💛💛💛💛
    [12] “Loved” by Highlight. I think it’s because of that violin @ally-le. It get’s me every time I hear it.
    [13] “One of Those Nights” by KEY. Talk about a song that grew on me.
    [14] “I am YOU” by Stray Kids. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. How does one whittle down all the good Stray Kids songs!?
    [15] “True Love” by Kim Sung-kyu (Infinite)
    [16] “Boss” by NCT U
    [17] “Love Flutters” by The East Light. I really wanted to include “Let Me Stay with You” as well.
    [18] “My Youth” by Jinyoung 💚 (GOT7)

    OK, next year, we’re increasing this list to 30. I was trying to be cool with the whole year ’18 thing, but yeah. That’s too hard.

    Have you finished your list yet @greenfields?

      Re:Loved electric violin.
      I was just imagining a piano/violin cover of this in my head but would need my daughter to get on board to do it for real. Because you NEED that violin for that song to go from “meh” to “magnificent!” But I’m so glad it made it on to your list!

        Well, technically, it’s the difference between a solo and a group song. That’s what I’m telling myself.
