[delayed post] Midweek New Music Roundup :: November 27th - December 4th

[hitokage]

Hey, at least I'm not as behind as I was last week? XD Shit's been hard, getting back on track post-Helene continues to be A Thing, any help with that, including patience, is appreciated.

So yes, the snow has started in Seoul and so to have the seasonal songs. As such I have added another item to the quick icon key: the seasonal song tree marker! In other words, entries with a 🎄 next to them are winter songs (that may or may not be overtly Christmas-y). I'm still experimenting over here, I might start putting the trees on both the short and long lists, but for this week they're only on the first list.

ANYway... we're back to just the one week (ish) of releases again this week, with a little bit of everything from trot to instrumentals, R&B to EDM, hiphop to OSTs and jazz. Whether you decide to go straight down the list or pick and choose by whatever method you like best, chances are there's something for every Kpop taste. Boy groups your thing? LUN8 and NINE.i are back. In the mood for hiphop? Jinjin (ASTRO) has a new JIN LAB track out this week. More in the mood for down tempo smooth R&B vibes? Yang Da-Il or JUEUN might be just the thing. Looking for rock music? Try Yesung (Super Junior) or CLOUDIAN. The girl groups are mostly taking the week off from releases, aside from Japanese group ME:I, but there are still plenty of ladies in the listing, from soloists Chungha and Rendy to OSTs from Yeji (ITZY) and Winter (aespa), plus plenty more.

Banner artist slot this week goes to Chungha and a cute pup, with additional picks going to MYTRO, The8 (SEVENTEEN), and WayV, though it was so very hard to narrow it down even that far, there was a lot of great music again this week.
