abuelaskpopImma confess, I feel a little guilty about this wrap-up being almost exclusively sourced from Paradise Diner's collecting from the last 2+ weeks, but I've been on break, so here's the mainstream tracks from that span with my annotations and comments, and then next week, knock on wood, I'll be back to normal. But since this is already a paired down listing, there's no banner and no favorites. Not because I don't HAVE favorites, but because I already cut down the listing to major, so most of these are already well positioned.

note: I moved the two can't be blue tracks together because they were already so close, but otherwise this listing is the same as above cuz it's short and I'm exhausted.
LNGSHOT - Moonwalkin' (debut) 🔤 https://youtu.be/HJgdT15UT4k
genre: hiphop
note: CC in 5 tracks, including English. Can you count the seonbaenim references? All those sharp moves and yet a distinct lack of moonwalks, for shame Jay Park.
ONEWE - Ferris wheel 🔤 https://youtu.be/KyRERlh3X28
genre: pop rock
cw: lens flares, surrealism, bright flash (late)
note: CC in English. An adorable performance video with just a touch of surrealism with the plants and the late appearance of an actual ferris wheel (in the clouds)
Inseong (SF9) - Mute is Off 🔤 https://youtu.be/5dfsW2CBNPs
genre: pop rock
cw: flashing graphics, lens flares, surrealism (mild)
note: CC in 10 tracks, including English. Kitty! Pupper! Ah a pretty boy with a pretty song and oh boy the writer in me really sympathizes with this plot.
NCT WISH - Hello Mellow (Japanese release) 🔤 https://youtu.be/8s23tBtQciU
genre: dance pop
cw: lens flares, flashing, supernatural elements (angels)
note: CC in 10 tracks, including English. Always so happy to have another Japanese release from NCT Japan. 🤣 The use of blue/cooling filters keeps throwing me off. It makes sense in context, but I keep expecting more yellow for ... some reason. Have we gone from incompetent cupids to just general angels? Hmm...
ChRocktikal - PEACE (debut) 🔤 https://youtu.be/lT7DAm9raUE
genre: rock
cw: flashing, lens flares, unsteady cam
note: CC in Korean and English. Always here for more women in rock!
MISAMO - Confetti (Japanese release) 🔤 https://youtu.be/gOjG-70-D5o
genre: jazz
cw: full bunny fur suit, surrealism, supernatural elements (animated skeletons)
note: CC in 6 tracks, including English. I almost tagged this as Big Band, but it's not quite to that level. But it is jazz, so there. A wild ride of a good time. 🤣
ENHYPEN - Knife 🔤 https://youtu.be/R6e4tBWxIxE
genre: dance pop
cw: flashing, supernatural elements (vampires), canon-typical violence, police
note: CC in 8 tracks, including English. CGI Flaming cars were a choice all right. These guys chose violence every step of the way with this video.
Forestella - Nella Notte 🚩 https://youtu.be/HUNkE8Sopwo
genre: Kpopera
cw: flashing effects
note: a lyric video in Italian and Korean, since the song is in Italian. The animation is definitely computer-generated, meaning I'm now sitting here trying to parse if it's human-generated or AI. Sadly, I can't rule out genslop, so a flag it is, sigh
LOLA - TATz 🔤 https://youtu.be/4jyZpXEW88E
genre: hiphop
cw: flashing video "artifacts," "playful" violence, full face mask (animal head), gun (fake)
note: CC in English.
CATCH THE YOUNG - Amplify 🔤 ⚠️ https://youtu.be/V6yhQw99NYY
genre: pop rock
cw: flashing, eyeball closeups, lens flares, background strobing
note: CC in 10 tracks, including English. The way Krock keeps trying to make the Keytar A Thing.... 🤣 I mean it makes sense for the number of bands with keyboardists, but as a child of the 70s&80s, I'm still going to snicker about it. Elevated warning for the progressively more aggressive strobing.
EXO - Crown 🔤 🚩 https://youtu.be/BWfKkqo1Mk8
genre: dance pop
cw: supernatural elements (Legend powers), aggressive flashing, blood/injury, canon-typical violence
note: CC in 9 tracks, including English. So, as far as Lore goes, this looks like Sehun, Kai, and D.O have all up'd their abilities (Sehun to full storms, Kai to teleporting others w/o himself, D.O to having a rock form?) (Suho already showed off using his powers to utterly dehydrate another), which. Hmm. I feel like there's a couple ways of reading this, so holding back on more theories for now. But also, fuck the techbros cuz yep, that's genslop in the backgrounds, especially on the interior of the giant crown, I hate it here. No Big 4 company has any viable excuse (except corporate greed) for not just hiring An Actual Human Artist (or five) for this sort of thing.
can't be blue - should be you https://youtu.be/TlrGMdDKvpk
genre: rock (ballad)
cw: flashing (bright/sharp), arson
note: genre whiplash who? Oh no, not another new band to fall in love with...
can't be blue - Black Tesla (feat. XngHan) ⚠️https://youtu.be/CJFI_Z_wVsk
genre: hiphop/rock fusion
cw: glitch effects, aggressive flashing
note: the glitching gets really bad, hence the elevated warning, so take care with that. I suffered through for my baby Seunghan, but you do what's best for you. The hard subs aren't completely useless, but they aren't the best, either
ONEUS - Grenade https://youtu.be/_UQCWEp-8BQ
genre: dance pop
cw: aggressive flashing, fire effects
note: Look, I just came here for a good time and I'm feeling Very Attacked, Leedo.
LA POEM - Meant to Be 🔤 https://youtu.be/LYpVXm3VPuE
genre: Kpopera
note: CC in Korean and English. The chess game as a set piece was a Choice all right.
M.O.N.T - History https://youtu.be/3IjtP7PRcrE
genre: pop rock (anthem)
cw: lens flares
note: unsurprisingly at this point, given the style of video, the hard subs are of questionable utility
AxMxP - PASS 🔤 ⚠️ ❌ https://youtu.be/pAgRuO6h7OE
genre: heavy metal
cw: aggressive flashing
note: CC in 8 tracks, including English. The aggressive flashing starts early and doesn't really ever quit, so this may have to be a pass if you're sensitive to that sort of thing. Lort knows I tried and then had to quit when it got too much.
dodree - Just Like a Dream (debut) https://youtu.be/PqWApYzlfrU
genre: trot
cw: lens flares
note: CC 4 tracks, including English. It's in the inflection of their singing that makes me think this should filed under trot rather than, say, folk rock. The staging kinda supports that, too, so fight me. But don't fight too hard - between the etymology of their name and which JYP subsidiary the girls are on, I'm probably right. 😜
1VERSE - WABIF (Wide Awake Before I Fall) 🔤 https://youtu.be/8b4Cf1tlDFk
genre: dance pop
cw: flashing effects, lens flares
note: CC in English. Labelled as a visualizer, for whatever reason. Aww, we miss Hyuk though
TNX - CALL ME BACK https://youtu.be/0-xKvImq7Ek
genre: dance pop
cw: flashing effects, camera motion
note: CC in Korean and English. Boys, no. Spamming and demanding she should just give in and call you back is toxic. Take the L and move on. At least that pupper will always love you ... if you're a good boy. 🤣
ZEROBASEONE - ROSES 🔤 https://youtu.be/JUeZL0TyT3I
genre: dance pop
cw: animated surrealism, animated flashing
note: a little bit psychedelic, but in a muted, more pastel way than that term usually means.
XG - HYPNOTIZE 🔤 ⚠️ https://youtu.be/cUfDOS2SINM
genre: dance pop
cw: supernatural elements (mer-creatures), aggressive flashing, sureealism, background flashing/strobing lights
note: CC in 6 tracks, including English. Bringing the deep sea mers AND the pastel lolita looks. Elevated warning for the level of flashing
Hwina - Hello, Sara 🔤 https://youtu.be/DZS54k1KiNI
genre: soft rock (ballad)
cw: lens flares (late)
note: CC in 8 tracks, including English. Mournful and feels very GL-coded.
KiiiKiii - 404 (New Era) 🔤 https://youtu.be/zhHB4dZTChw
genre: dance pop
cw: flashing, unsteady self-cam
note: CC in 6 tracks, including English, but doesn't cover any of the dialog. So much nostalgia packed into one video.
TREASURE - BETTER THAN ME 🔤 https://youtu.be/e5llkCmysGY
genre: pop rock (ballad)
cw: lens flares
note: CC in English ... and song is entirely in English and so very soft. Like makes me want to wrap each of them in a blanket and tuck them away somewhere safe and warm. 😅
i-dle - Mono (feat. skaiwater) 🔤 ⚠️ https://youtu.be/DYgE3SGPEqk
genre: dance pop
cw: aggressive flashing
note: CC in Korean and English. I, um, have Thoughts about these lyrics, but I am... yeah, no, this is me walking away
AB6IX - A Minute, A Second https://youtu.be/1hRzRN2bs3k
genre: R&B
cw: lens flares (mild)
note: pretty boys singing a pretty song. The hard subs aren't horrible, but they could've been done better.
YOUNG POSSE - VISA ⚠️ ❌ https://youtu.be/Q-448r79Oa4
genre: EDM
cw: aggressive flashing
note: elevated warning for the level of flashing starting early - it never fully reaches vaporwave, but it certainly gets close. Enough so that I had to nope out halfway through
POW - Come True (feat. Shin Onyu of Shin In Ryu) 🔤 https://youtu.be/kI9YD61ehIw
genre: dance pop
note: CC in 5 tracks, including English. And oh lort, this triggered some extreme nostalgia with that opening. I'm going to pretend like that song isn't potentially older than these boys...
8TURN - BRUISE https://youtu.be/WxL5cNNelLk
genre: dance pop
cw: lens flares, flashing, pyrotechnics
note: CC in English and Japanese. Shot in wide angle, so probably best to view in full screen.
ONE OR EIGHT - TOKYO DRIFT (Japanese release)🔤 https://youtu.be/Qcz-7evvAqY
genre: hiphop
cw: flashing, surrealism, pyrotechnics
note: CC in 9 tracks, including English. Why are we revisiting this song? Is the Fast and the Furious franchise coming back to Japan?
Seungmin (Stray Kids) - Still here 🔤 https://youtu.be/Tsr3lBEn9ww
genre: R&B (ballad)
cw: animated flashing, potential hanky warning
note: CC in English and Japanese. The Korean hard subs vanish entirely into the snow and only sort of get better as the scene changes.
WHIB - ROCK THE NATION 🚩 https://youtu.be/uRnl1Lj7GqM
genre: dance rock
cw: lens flares, flashing, violence
note: Sigh, yeah, that's a bunch of genslop for the combat sequences. How utterly exhausting
SUNGMIN - Godsaeng https://youtu.be/2i89jTziQnM
genre: trot
cw: aggressive flashing
note: the level of flashing for an otherwise simple/plain video is kind of ridic, but hey, if it makes him happy....
SUNGMIN - Dancing under the Stars https://youtu.be/2i89jTziQnM
genre: trot
cw: aggressive flashing
note: I feel like I've just taken psychic damage from these two videos and I'm not even sure why. They're both incredibly simple chorography pieces, which is something I normally enjoy, but this one more than the other feels ... off. IDK.
ZEROBASEONE - LOVEPOCALYPSE 🔤 https://youtu.be/nYueShCPYUY
genre: dance pop
cw: flashing effects, stage lights
note: CC in 6 tracks, including English. Another looking back video as they prepare to say goodbye to being a group of 9. It's a little wild to think about how much they've done in just two and a half years, actually....
Navillera - NO LIMIT (debut) https://youtu.be/cwO2OBuXVj8
genre: EDM
cw: lens flares, guns (background)
note: hmm, sensing a slight mafia vibe.... 😅
SYA (BLITZERS) - Stay https://youtu.be/UfTtyM_DdW8
genre: rock
cw: flashing, unsteady cam
note: Sya, when you say don't worry about you but then spend a good chunk of the video stumbling around...well, the urge to wrap in bubble wrap gets worse, not better. 😜
SOLE - Look at My Heels (Honour OST)
genre: dance pop
cw: flashing
note: video is entirely clips from the drama, so may contain spoilers.
And that's a wrap on January! Hopefully weekly roundups will resume in normal fashion next week, possibly even on their proper day. 😜
