hitokage: Suran in a white frame with rainbow hearts on the right side under plain text Abuela's Kpop (abuela's kpop)
[personal profile] hitokage
In a distressed frame (top and bottom bars only, red to blue left to right gradient), three screenshots. Leftmost, five members of Korean male idol group LUN8 , wearing black suits, dance in an open arena-like space. In the center, a close-up of a young Korean man (Mingi of ATEEZ), his face mostly obscured by long bangs, holding his arms in front of his chest in box pose, hands fisted. He is about to make the biting sign, a signal in street dance vocabulary that means someone has stolen your move, your style, or a whole concept. Rightmost, a close-up of a grinning Korean man with ginger-red hair (SUHO of EXO), wearing a soft grey sweater, leaning against an unseen tree. Title text reads Midweek New Music Roundup. Bottom text reads September 17th - 24th.


The last ... few months, really, have been quite hard on me as a kitty rescuer and foster mother, it's been the major factor driving why these roundups are delayed more often than they're on time anymore. There have been some additional issues, to be sure, but the net result is that I'm going to have to go back onto semi-hiatus for a couple weeks, maybe as long as all of October, I don't know yet. I have Songs of the Day picked out for the next few weeks, so health-willing, those should keep posting, but other, longer posts are on hold -- Roundups routinely take 8+ hours and even Music Mondays where I know the song well in advance still tend to take 2-3 hours, which is more time than the cats are currently interested in letting me have, so ... we'll see.

That said ... this week is another 90 videos from across the Kpop spectrum. Feeling the need to dance it out? tripleS have dropped another subunit with a Japanese release, GENBLUE are crossing over into the Korean market, and TWS have dropped a pre-release. Looking for the freshest hiphop? Check out XG, Song Mingi (ATEEZ), or SOYER. Rock more your speed? SUHO (EXO) brings us another alt-rock hit, Guckkasten offer up hard rock, and folk rock and soft rock proc all up and down the list. Hankering for a good cry? Search for "potential hanky warning" and have at. We've even got fresh trot from Kang Sori, Kpopera from Austin Kim, and jazz from soopie, plus OSTs by Keonhee (ONEUS), Lee Changsub (BTOB) and SOMIN. Not sure what you need? That's okay, browse the list however you like.

Banner artist slots this week went to LUN8, Mingi (ATEEZ), and Suho (EXO). I know, I'm a predictable simp. Keep an eye out for the ๐Ÿ’š to find my other favorites on the week!
