66. HAN YO HAN - Helicopter
This song doesn't have a good replayability factor, because the chorus melody repeats like 1000 times, but, boy, is it fun to listen to this cowbell rap-rock popcorn from time to time. FYI, Han Yo Han has another similar song, but I like it less.
65. Kid Milli - WHY DO FUCKBOIS HANG OUT ON THE NET
Engrish Zico appears again on my list, and it's not the last time. I don't understand wtf he's saying, but the menacing beat is dope. In fact, he could rap about chopping up bodies and eating them for all I care and it'd prolly fit the sense of danger that the beat is evoking. Bonus Mexican pesos for cooking meth à la Breaking Bad in the MV.
64. B-Free - Wild Wild West
63. fromis_9 - To Heart
Standard aegyo orchestra pop that I can actually listen to from start to finish once I get over the annoying heart to heart to heart. Bonus Uzbek Sums for cute fashion.
62. MKIT RAIN - G.T.F.O (Girls, Tequila, Fuck, Over) (feat. Loopy, nafla, BLOO)
From the title alone it's clear this is some silly rap shit by the fuckbois (don't tell Kid Milli, pls) with a Christian tune. Loopy and Bloo sound exhausted on the track because they fought vampires all day. Bloo's tired posture tells it all. Loopy probably used all of his chakra and then some out of a literal thin air fighting them. The others helped too. Nafla being the good big Christian boi that he is stabbed the creatures with his giant cross. An uknown dude in the middle even has white blood spots on his pants as the evidence! Even a retarded janitor with bad teeth helped too with his stick, which needs to be shoved in your face, bitch, if you think slaying vampires is an easy job, and you need to sit down, bitch. Be humble if you actually think you know better than the great vampire slayers themselves.
61. HOLLAND - I'm So Afraid
We have another fuckboi. And this fuckboi is even bigger fuckboi than the previous Mkit Rain crackheads and RiceGum altogether, because, well, he literally fucks bois, ehem, legal boys. Kid Milli must hate me at this point... On the second thought, Holland has more balls than so-called hard-ass fuckbois, 'cos he's the first openly GAY IDOL in a largely conservative country like Korea, that, btw, needs this gei shit. Of course, thank god, Korea's not completely backwards like Chechnya where their dictator addresses allegations of gay men being detained and tortured like "Fuhgettaboutit! Them damn filthy gays don't even exist in our country in the first place!", but Korea still has a long way to go.
Imagine how cool it would be if Holland pulls a Han Seo Hee to annoy homophobes and on top of that writes a damn song about fucking your oppas in the style of, let's say, Troye Sivan's great "secret" power bottom anthem Bloom, supplemented with a hot steamy MV to boot? Ear-candy AND eye-candy in one pack! I'm saying this not only because of ulterior motives as an obnoxious BL loving fujossi. If I'm So Afraid was shit like his debut I would give less of a fuck, honestly. Now since he further released tracks one better than the other I've a mental note in my head, 'Hmm, this guy's songs start to get great. Let's see what comes next.' and will possibly follow him from now onward. I do the same, albeit in a lazy fashion, with many other kpop groups. FYI, there's an RnB Korean singer MRSHLL who came out even before Holland, apparently. And I don't really give a fuck about him, because his songs are meh (still, props to MRSHLL too).
The song itself basically continues where his 2nd title track left off, and is essentially harder, better, faster, stronger than I'm Not Afraid. Cool af EDM chorus and less singing improved everything by miles. Bonus Dutch guilders for MONDO GROSSO's "Labyrinth"-esque dancing in the streets "one take" shot MV .
Let's hope in the future he won't get the treatment of the dumb pLs-ThInK-oF-tHe-cHiLdReN masses. Or crazy type of shippers who seriously think that if two people are just glancing at each other or if actors kiss on screen than they are definitely dating in real life... Uh-oh...
60. Gogang - The Night)
I just skip to the 3:56 mark right away when the best keyboard sounds come in to play with my kokoro. The wanted reaction might be a little delayed.
59. Owen Ovadoz - Changes (feat. Loopy)
I enjoy this sing-songy non-rappy rap. I appreciate his honesty in the lyrics admitting that he possibly might become different if money is involved. Always sedated Loopy won me over with his 보여 (boooooyo) and 놓여 (noooooyo). These parts and 난 똑같아 (nan ttokkata) are infectious. The big portion of the song is, actually. Bonus Paraguayan Guaranis for disproving the fact of Loopy's hats being glued to his head.
58. pH-1 - Cupid (Feat.PENOMECO)
I've liked K-Hip-Hop's resident #relatable PG-13 sing-songy rapper pH-1 since I've discovered his light-hearted "Perfect" (god, I replayed that song a LOT after the first listen). Last year I've noted 비싸 , Cupid and one more of his songs. I got tired of 비싸 after a while. The opposite happened with Cupid. I thought it was just OK at first, but came to really like it, because I just couldn't skip it, the intro's really captivating. The best part that elevated "Cupid" from just OK to good for me is the breakdown: ...help a brotha, ...just don't botha, synthetic low Where you at, cupid? I really need you right now.
I couldn't embed the official MV for some reason. It can be found here.
57. MONSTA X - Shoot Out
Usually I prefer Monsta X's extremely charismatic rapper line over vocalist line, but it's different this time. The raps feel more wonky. Will.I.M.'s last bars in the 1st chorus are just plain cringy to the ear. In addition, the song starts cartoonish with waka waka waka, but the vocal line saves the day, especially Kihyun.
56. Gugudan - Not That Type
Sejeongdan is no longer nugudan for me thanks to "Not That Type". Thankfully, its powerful brass chorus overshadows the absolutely lukewarm verses. I want to run over bitches in GTA to this Beyonce-&-Little Mix-ish girl crush pop. Bonus Venezuelan bolívars for crop top + sport pants street fashion and for Mina.
