Just bought tickets for the Monsta X concert~! :D

UHGGGGG I am LIVING for the old school vibes in Persona. It's soooo good. Can we expect rap line teaser songs for this comeback? So either Suga or JHope is next? Really hype to hear what specific type of fire Suga will spit.

Sidenote: I bought the LY: Answer and LY: Tear albums today since they were just there at Walmart when I was running errands. Haven't opened them to see what photocards I got cause I'm waiting for my sister to get out of school.

Oh gosh I am so jealous! lol I have never been to a kpop concert. xD I hope you have an awesome time!!

I keep seeing posts saying the rap line are all getting teaser songs, so maybe? I'm not really sure. I also see some people speculation about rapper Kookie finally making a comeback. I would die. haha

Ahhhh, I wonder if my Walmart ever has those kinds of albums. I don't actually own any physical kpop merch either. You'd think being a kpop fan since like 2011 I'd have something, but I am always a broke girl and I need food and clothing more. Sadly. lolll Some day I shall own many beautiful kpop things! T-T Oooh, what photocards are you hoping for?

Also, side note, but Pentagon's new comeback is great.

I received mine earlier this week and I haven't really stopped listening to it.

Same, it's so nice to hear her again T-T

I like it a lot too (Pentagon), It's a shame Kino can't promote with them right now :c

As a Kino biased girl, I am quite sad. T-T I am glad they found a way for him to be in the video though! Him just chilling in that big circle window behind them in one of the scenes made me giggle a bit.

I loved Yanan driving him around in the little bike cart.

I will pray to the money gods that you are blessed and get to go to concerts and buy lots of merch~

I was not expecting to see them there at all; I was super surprised. I was hoping to get a Jungkook photocard because I am biased as heck aND I GOT ONE! :D

Pentagon's new song is indeed a bop. I'm really digging it and the MV is SO COOL. What happened to Kino?? Did he get injured? There is quite a bit of that going around lately. :( I haven't really gotten into Pentagon besides Jinho, so I'm not super familiar with them. Still, I hope he is well and recovers quickly~ cc:

yeah he has a leg injury, I believe he got hurt during their Japan tour :( There's been a lot of leg injuries lately, Haechan from NCT's been out for the past month or two as well.

Lol yeah that was cute. And Yanan having lines always makes me happy.

Hehe, thank you. xD AHHHH that's awesome you got a Kookie card! If I ever finally get an album, I will die if I get Jimin. I mean any of them would kill me, but he's mah boyyyy. lol (Kookie is like right under Jimin in my bts bias list though haha)

Speaking of Jinho, he is such a small little bean. So precious.

So many people getting injured. T_T

I knooowww I miss Haechan so much. ;-; Changbin hurt his leg recently too and Seungmin is still recovering from a back(?) injury, but they're both still promoting (although they aren't really allowed to do anything else in order to recover).

Jimin was the other one that I got~ Always love a fellow Libra~

A precious bean who is jam-packed with VOCAL TALENT, damn. Have you heard his cover from Jesus Christ Superstar? Chills. Every time.

We need to put these boys in some plastic bubbles or something until they heal up :/

OOF. So what do you all think about BLACKPINK's comeback?? I love the horns and the bass. That's very cool. I also love the mv a whole lot...but I will say as much as I do like the song and it grows on me the more I listen to it...it feels like it's not full? Like it's missing something? Idk. Lisa, though, my girl killed me with her verse. And then she sang. My god, I love it when they give her singing lines. Bless.

ALSO YG WHEN YOU GONNA GIVE OUR GIRLS A FULL ALBUM?!?! You let them out of the YG dungeon like once a year at this point, and you don't even give them a full album?? Still??? I mean, YG isn't the greatest. We been knew. But still....

[edit] Gah I can't post twice in a row, so editing this in.

Buuttttttt, ahhhhh Stray Kids won their first win the other day on M Countdown and I am so proud and they were crying (especially my babeh Jisung) and oof my heart. T-T

I felt the same way about the BP comeback, there's parts i like but for some reason it fees kinda empty :/?

UPDATE: It's been about a week and a half and I've gone from not knowing Pentagon to "hELP I DON'T KNOW WHO MY BIAS IS". Anybody have any show/video recommendations?

YES, SAME. OMG. I was really into the MV and the song, but when it finished I was left feeling like "what? Really, that's it?" I seriously felt like it was missing something....

Hey, come discuss Blackpink's new song~! (And also someone help me fall further into the Pentagon hole so I can figure out who my bias is...)

I think yeoone is my bias but who knows lmao

I personally love pentagons attempted english christmas broadcast they did A "hightlight" version:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPTnEtfllpQ

Yay for falling into to the Pentagon fandom! If you haven't already, maybe check out their show Pentagon Maker. It's their survival show and how they came to be a group. I watched it in a whim back when it was first airing cuz I was like why not put my heart through another horrible survival show and see where this goes. xD And then their Pentory videos, which are just fun little videos and behind the scenes type stuff. I will admit, they aren't one of my super biased groups, so I haven't watched a ton of their stuff other than that, and random things I stumble upon on youtube, and then like mvs I've all seen of course. lol Oh! Their Weekly Idol episode with Victon and Momoland was cute. I used to love watvhing Weekly Idol but I haven't watched it since Dony and Cony left. T-T

Aaaaaaa I LOVE Boy with luv. It's so cute, it's exactly what I needed right now.

I'm loving the album so far. Im really happy I'm liking it this much. I'm a long time BTS fan but some of their recent stuff hasn't hit it for me

So...this is probably gonna be a long post, lol. I just have a lot to say about this album.

Boy With Luv was so freaking cute, omg!! It came out 2 am, my time, so of course I watched it as soon as it dropped. lmao I am always up that late anyway. xD BUT OMG, it was so cute and Jimin (my bias) killed me with how beautiful and graceful and adorable he is. I can't. crying in the corner Halsey dancing with them and looking cute and everyone looking so happy was adorable and I love it so much. Ok, onto the album. I love every track. Honestly not surprising with BTS anymore, but still. It's hard for me to really love all the songs on albums/eps from any artist (kpop or not) but they constantly put out amazing music. Even then slow songs, which I don't generally love, sound great. Me, through the album- Persona: Yes, President Namjoon, kill it. jams out Boy With Luv: It starts out with my biases beautiful voice?? Yes, please. He sounds like an angel. Everyone sounds amazing in this song. I feel like the song on the album features Halsey's voice more in the choruses? Like in the mv, I think her voice was more so in the second half? Maybe I just didn't notice her voice as much in the beginning...but I swear the actual song has her voice featured more prominently. Which I love, because I felt like there wasn't enough of her voice in the mv for being a featured artist. lol But yes, love this title track. Honestly one of my faves from them. Mikrokosmos: This song sounds so beautiful. Looking into it, it looks like it was written by a scottish singer name Ryan Lawrie. Well, good job, sir! tips nonexistent hat This was one of the ones I was looking forward to just because the name sounded cool. I was not let down at all. It sounds so uplifting and inspirational, even without looking at the lyrics. Make It Right: Ok, so this is the song Ed Sheeran worked on, and going in I was like...oh...this doesn't sound like an Ed Sheeran song at all. But I love it! haha xD It's so funky and cool and I just really like it. Plus all the harmonies sound amazing, ugh. And Hobi singing. T-T HOME: Another song going in I was really interested in because of the all caps. lol I LOVE the beat so much, and they all sound amazing, as usual.....and then I looked up the lyrics. doing body rolls while sobbing ARMY loves BTS and BTS loves us just as much, if not more. It's probably my favorite song on the album, just from how it sounds and then also the lyrics. I loved it a whole lot before even looking at them, so they definitely elevated it even more. How can a song make me dance and cry so much. One again, I can't. lol Jamais Vu: Alright, listening to this one at first I was like oh gosh it's the slow song. As I said I don't generally like slow songs and skip them most of the time...but I can honestly say I listen to this song all the way through when it comes on. It's really good. And it's a Hobi, Jin and Kookie unit track? Ok. Didn't know I needed it, until I got it. xD And yesssss, Jin, show off those beautiful vocals. Jimin is my bias and Kookie is my bias wrecker...although I just say they are both my biases sometimes, lol. Anywho, off track there...I always talk about how good their voices sound and feel like I don't praise Jin as much (no hate, I promise. i love them all...I just obviously notice my bias(es) voices more lol) but within the past few years, he's improved so much and keeps getting better. You go, Worldwide Handsome. Dionysus: OK! This song was the one I was MOST intrigued by because lol hey it's a Greek god for like wine and like hedonism basically, lmao. So I was like ok, gimme the drunk party song! xD I was definitely not disappointed. IT'S AMAZING. It honestly is almost tied for my favorite song with HOME. Probably tied as second with Boy With Luv, idk. But it's ay-freaking-mazing. And it goes full on rock towards the end?!?!?! As if it couldn't get better. After Jamais Vu helped bring me back to earth after all the bops, this one brought me way back out of the stratosphere. lmao aggressively rocking out

So, after my whole long post on my thoughts on the album no one asked for, here's my track ranking no one asked for either. xD

1. HOME
2. Boy With Luv
3. Dionysus
4. Persona
5. Make It Right
6. Mikrokosmos
7. Jamais Vu

But like honestly, there is barely a hair separating all of them and a lot of them are tied at spots and stuff, haha. I love them all.

Tagging since we don't have a chat topic in the group yet. Come chat! lol

Ahhh, this is my first time posting here, but I've been lurking haha. Pushes social anxiety to the side for the moment... :3

I love, love, love Boy With Luv! The music video is just so adorable and colorful and happy! Just exactly what I need right now, haha. I love how all the members look so happy and carefree!

I, too, stayed up to watch the video when it dropped...which was 5 am my time, haha, but it was so worth it!
V (my favorite) just looked so good in the video, and I loved all the focus and lines he got (his voice!)! (Plus, he is so extra with that tongue at the beginning and 'bae', haha). And Jimin was so adorable and got so many lines and time, too! He was just so cute and his voice! (Jimin, along with Jungkook, are behind V at the top for me, too...but I love all the boys, haha) And the lyrics were so adorable and everyone sounded so good and...I think I need to stop for a moment, haha. xP

Honestly, though, I don't feel Halsey added very much to the song? She was barely in the video...and the video version has less of her than the version on the actual album?

I haven't had a chance to really listen to the other songs yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

I'm actually pretty new to Kpop, only started listening in August of last year (right before Idol came out...BTS was the first group I listened to, haha). I've gotten into a lot of groups since then...but haven't watched shows/vlives. ^^ I have seen a lot of music videos, though (and some comeback stages/live performances). xP

So as far as helping you, , with Pentagon, I can't really recommend anything. xD As of right now, though, I'm partial to Hui and Kino. ^^

One more thing! The BlackPink music video! I did like it, but I'm also with you guys in feeling that it was...lacking something? I dunno.

Sorry that this is so long! -slinks back into hole-

For those keeping up with my Pentagon Bias Struggles™ - I'm currently torn between Wooseok, Yuta, and Shinwon.

Also, y'all....I haven't seen the BTS MV yet or listened to the album...SHAME ON ME. But I will be back to update with opinions when I do~

OMG That was fantastic I can't wait to go watch the whole thing. XD Why the heck does Hongseok speak English so well though????

I have been traumatized by one too many survival/debut shows so I boycott and avoid them now. ;~; I love Stray Kids, yet I've only seen clips from their survival show from watching other compilation videos. I just don't want to watch idols go through that anymore...the industry is hard on them enough without putting them through all that stress and trauma. I just really hate it and want to watch the idols I like have fun, not be stressed, depressed, and well-dressed.

I'm slowly going through their little behind videos and that little series they did of...wishes? I can't remember what it was called or what the right word is right now. Also I watched that Weekly Idol~! Is was good and had the bonus of Monoland. But with three bands I feel like I didn't really get to see any of them.

Same though...I haven't really watched Weekly Idol since they've left, unless it's one of my top fave bands (Stray Kids was just on and it was such a good episode).

I guess the kbops group is set to admin only tagging?? Which is kinda counterproductive. CC:

Welcome~! :D

Kino was in the running for me, but then I decided he was just too cute(?) for my tastes. He is an absolute sweetie though, and also an Aquarius, which I am weak for so...who knows.

Weird that we all are picking up that Kill This Love is lacking something. Wonder what it is....

Long comments absolutely acceptable~ It's kinda expected when there is so much to talk about with people who are into the same things as you~
