I am far more interested in following all the Hybe skullduggery. The allegations are bonkers: planting that cult’s words/concepts in the BTS songs, manipulating the charts, etc. I can fully understand why Suga in a reminiscence mentioned how stressed and miserable he felt at the beginning. Hybe clearly is a pretty awful place but not comparatively as awful as some of the other company’s execs who are/were corrupt, autocratic and psychotic.
Ah. It’s an album.
I don’t think you’re missing much by not knowing those songs.
Dang, that’s a lot. I stopped being interested in Bangtan years ago, but it’s sad to see them be in the middle of a shitshow like this.
I hope they get out of it.

For those of you who know your contemporary K-pop. I don’t recognise any of the songs which isn’t surprising.

No NewJeans songs? Is it because of the Min Hee-jin/HYBE conflict? That’s craaazy.

These are songs of the last two years (maybe three), I think.
Is this like an event?

I was going to say, it seems very recent! Especially considering there’s no really popular tracks from ‘older’ groups either on there

Some older groups had comebacks in the past few years, but they don’t get the same attention anymore.
And older hit songs… I don’t think they would be in these type of lists. People these days don’t even recognize the names of older groups.

I’m stuck in 2nd gen, hahahahhaha.
If the song or the group isn’t 10 years old don’t ask me.
And even so…
