and they dropped their latest single, "yukiakari," today!

&team has been an ult from day one. off-stage, they're an adorable family. on-stage, they're a powerhouse wolf pack, and frankly unmatched.

a musical. their ability to express each song's emotion through facial expressions, their voices, and their dance while maintaining such unity is unmatched. the lore is incredible, if you're a lore lover like i am, but mostly inobtrusive for those who aren't into it. the "firework" mv is CINEMA.

#kpopadvent2024 there are so many more but i'm wrapping with &team. although they're jpop, i do not care, they are perfect. they're perfect. they are quite frankly some of the absolute best dancers in the industry right now, their vocals are top tier (including live). every song is a stage from

#kpopadvent2024 in a roundabout way, loving pentagon is also what got me into boynextdoor (and zerobaseone, actually). when i first saw "one and only," i couldn't stop thinking that they had the same losercore energy, serotonin-inducing skill, and organized chaos choreo as pentagon in "shine" era

since then i've ulted both, which led to me getting into golcha, so i moved backwards lmao

i already liked their stuff, but i wouldn't have said i stanned them until then. "burn it" was my first comeback as goldenness

#kpopadvent2024

it was because I knew hui had the voice of a god that i decided to watch the livestream of his musical "sonata of a flame." golden child hong joochan performed opposite him. i was immediately hooked. the story was great but the real power lay in their chemistry and skill, their harmonies haunt me

#kpopadvent2024 with pentagon, as with many people, it was "shine" that pulled me in. years later and it still does not fail to make me happy EVERY TIME. i was not a diehard fan until much later, but i adored jinho with all my heart. this choreo! those vocals!

#kpopadvent2024 with the boyz, though I watched some of their early stuff, it wasn't until the kcon after rtk that they cemented their hold on me. their "checkmate" stage that day! then i watched rtk and fell in love. so i'm putting "the stealer" here because that was my first comeback as a deobi

if you don't yet know nine.i, i implore you to give them a shot. though they're in a period of struggle, being without an agency at the moment, you will not regret it. in addition to their debut, let me suggest "young boy" and "wasted youth"

#kpopadvent2024 my sister showed me some of nine.i's predebut videos and i was fascinated by the sheer potential and skill i saw, so i was hooked even before "parallel universe" dropped. then it did and i watched awestruck and said "there's no way he'll do that solo every time" but seowon DID

okay i'll stop now, but this is just a very small fraction of what clogs my phone's storage
