Midweek New Music Roundup :: February 11th - 18th

[hitokage]

Thanks to Seoul actually observing the holiday this time, the release roundup for this week is pretty thin. Which is good for all of us cuz I've been struggling with my health again, so if it had been too much longer, I doubt I would've made it. As it is, there were so few listings that I reverted back to the original form of banner ... and then, like the predictable simp I am, put my Emotional Support Boyband in it. You're welcome.

Depending on your specific Kpop interest, it's entirely possible you won't find anything for you this week - the men dominated, with a smattering of releases across pop, alt rock, folk rock, hiphop, trot, adult contemporary, and even a neoclassical instrumental. Short as this listing is, most of these drops came as a surprise, so there's that. And hey, it's a short enough list, you won't lose too much time clicking every link.

As already noted, banner slot this week went to ATEEZ, with additional favorites marked.
