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 posting in [community profile] abuelaskpop
Two screenshots in a distressed rainbow-hued frame (top and bottom bar only, blue to red left to right gradient) with a black to light grey slash from bottom left to upper right, the phrase Midweek New Music Roundup atop the divider. Above the bar, a young Korean woman (Bae of NMIXX) holding an open investigation folder and reviewing the evidence therein. Below the slash, a two Korean men (Taemin and Minho of SHINee) dancing to their newest title track. Center bottom text reads May 27th - June 3rd.


Yeah, I know, this is ... super late for the new year, new system. I'm blaming the asshole cats who even now are choosing violence over going the fuck to sleep. Add on that this listing started with over 140 videos, which then got paired down to 90 and many of those required me to do additional research for x, y, and z reasons and, well, yeah. This one took rather a lot, even if it did end up trimmed down to 64 videos.

On the up side, regardless of your taste in Kpop, there's probably something in here of interest, from dance pop to alt rock, hiphop to R&B, EDM to OST. Girl pop your thing? FIFTY FIFTY and Queenz Eye have comebacks, there's the debut of HEART OF WOMAN, and let's not forget BoA and Krystal. More interested in the boy groups? SHINee's back, plus comebacks by IDID, XLOV, and TREASURE. Wanting new rock? Try N.Flying, ONEWE, or AHN YEEUN. Looking for the freshest hiphop? Taeyang (BIG BANG) dropped his collab track with TARZZAN and WOOCHAN while H//PE Prrincess dropped another MV. Feeling in the mood for a cathartic cry? Try any of the tracks with a potential hanky warning! Not sure what you want? Browse the list at your leisure or hop down and leave me a comment for tailored recommendations!

Banner artist slots this week went to NMIXX and SHINee, but you can find all my favorites of the week by noting the πŸ’šs.

IVE - Lucid Dream (Japanese release) πŸ”€ *
JINSOL - Too Cool to Be Grown-Ups

key:
* content warning
+ includes β€œdisappearing” hard subs
πŸ”€ includes CC in English
⚠️ elevated content warning
πŸ”ž age-restricted by YouTube
🚩 other warning
❌ did not complete
🌟 special note
πŸ’š picks of the week


note: this listing starts with the missed tracks and then continues in the exact same order as above ... which is really only an issue in that it means the two INDEGOAID are separated (where usually I'd've pulled them back together)

YORCH (POW) - Blow Your Mind (feat. Sik-K, Bryan Chase) (solo SK debut) ⚠️ πŸ’š https://youtu.be/VNqqNxM6P5k
genre: R&B/hiphop
cw: aggressive flashing, lens flares
note: Yorch's been doing solo music in his native Thailand since 2023, hence the note about this being his South Korean solo debut. Elevated warning for the amount of flashing, which is ... a whole heckin lot, woof


IVE - Lucid Dream (Japanese release) πŸ”€ https://youtu.be/trlOTS4nKO4
genre: dance pop
cw: lens flares, flashing, surrealism
note: CC in English, Japanese, and Korean. Unsurprisingly, this is very dream-surreal


JINSOL - Too Cool to Be Grown-Ups πŸ”€ https://youtu.be/ABrKic-lHQY
genre: pop rock
note: CC in English and Korean....sort of. The song's mostly in English, so there's that, but having the tiny bit of Korean in hangul in the English track is a bit...sigh. It's not actually just a set loop, but they do reuse many of the clips several times, making this one of Those visualizers




JAEJOONG - OASIS (Japanese release) πŸ”€ 🚩 https://youtu.be/2vRspK_5oJI
genre: pop rock
cw: lens flares
note: CC in 4 tracks, including English. We do so love a good SciFi concept ... but it also means there's the lingering feat that some of the environments and backgrounds might be slopped, because we live in the worst timeline. I'm leaning towards it being human-powered CGI, but since I could be wrong... flag it is. I hate it here.


IDID - FLY! πŸ”€ πŸ’š https://youtu.be/fcfv_p_NWx8
genre: dance pop
cw: lens flares, flashing, dripping wet boys (fully clothed)
note: CC in 6 tracks, including English. Look, guys, Captain said I can't follow any more groups, giving me your names isn't going to change his mind! I know what happens when I learn names! 🀣


XLOV - SERVE https://youtu.be/1IzZezTfwE0
genre: dance pop
cw: flashing, unsteady cam, lens flares, blood/injury
note: ... all those CC tracks and no real English? Gentlemen, what we have here is a breakdown in understanding the point of closed captions. Yes, the song is (mostly) in English, but I guarantee the auto-gen English track in a mess. Like yes, for Kpop videos, I have the CC on for the official English translation ... but I know these tracks exist BECAUSE I have long had CC on by default because my brain has days where it needs the help processing audio. And I have it set to English and not auto-gen English, because auto-generated captions are at best a crap shoot ... and often just have "[music]" instead of making even an ATTEMPT at the lyrics, regardless of language. And yeah, I tried the auto-gen because the audio balancing was actively working against my audio processing issues (which were wallowing in the members' mushy pronunciation and giving me less than a half of the lyrics) and lo, they were indeed useless, dropping words and defaulting to just "[music]". I can't even switch to the German track because that actually makes my processing issues worse, so really, a miserable five minutes of trying to enjoy this and failing entirely. I'll give it another listen via streaming audio later, maybe I'll be able to love it then...


H//PE Princess - One day πŸ”€ https://youtu.be/9sqgpi74u7w
genre: hiphop
cw: flashing, lens flares, water glare, camera motion
note: CC in 10 tracks ... but you'll need to select English (United States) to get the translation instead of raw hangul and kanji because nothing says English like hangul and kanji mixed in, right? πŸ™„


LIT - Different (feat. Ted park) πŸ’š https://youtu.be/WUgou24MQLo
genre: hiphop
note: so fun, my only complaint is that it's too short!


INDEGOAID - WORK https://youtu.be/dhilJWFOSLI
genre: hiphop
cw: flashing, video "glitching," lens flares, language
note: ah yes, the perennial censoring of the written "fucks" while doing nothing about vocalized swear words πŸ™„πŸ˜…


SORAN - ceremony (feat. MIYEON (i-dle)) https://youtu.be/cGsA7Jsl8P8
genre: pop rock
note: I ... might have gotten wildly distracted by the blankets on the couch, oops. Blame the mallard drake. It's a cute song, even if my ears cringed a bit for how very high Miyeon's lines are (but that's very much a me thing).


Yun Seong - LIGHT https://youtu.be/TwrPBF3QiGI
genre: pop rock
cw: blood/injury, lens flares
note: when an MV looks like an OST and even looks familiar, but the usual research pulls up nothing. But damn it sure feels like a sports drama OST clip MV. πŸ˜… (It's not, but it COULD be, has the right feel and everything)


TAEYANG (BIG BANG) - WOULD YOU (feat. TARZZAN, WOOCHAN) πŸ”€ ⚠️ πŸ’š ❌ https://youtu.be/K1VTsnCNu3Y
genre: hiphop
cw: unsteady cam, aggressive flashing, arson
note: CC in 9 tracks, including English. Elevated warning for the very aggressive flashing that knocked me out, which is unfortunate cuz it's a good song. But since I didn't make it more than maybe halfway, CWs may be incomplete. Proceed with caution.


Jackson Wang (GOT7) x Mayday Ashin - Alive ⚠️ 🚩 https://youtu.be/PEjARMUgcIU
genre: pop rock
cw: camera jerk, lens flares, aggressive flashing, teeth (fake), surrealism
note: is this basically a Pepsi commercial? Sure, but not like it's the first time we've had a product MV in these roundups and Jackson always gets a pass-thru. Comes with hard subs on the bottom right. Elevated warning for the aggressive flashing. Sadly, there's a couple scenes that are almost definitely genslop, sigh. Dagflabbit, Jackson!


Wilcox - Burst https://youtu.be/cRXgibuIV8k
genre: R&B
cw: lens flares (mild), injury (minor)
note: apparently 2026 is the year for me to rediscover some former special interests. And I'm okay with that. πŸ˜…


SOORIN - Five Star https://youtu.be/D5yDpVyEjq0
genre: pop rock
cw: supernatural elements (magic), brightness
note: Decora kei meets Kpop 🀣 Decora would go one or two orders of magnitude higher with everything - more face stars, more hair ties, more accessories - but still.... Catchy and cute!


ONEWE - ICARUS πŸ”€ πŸ’š https://youtu.be/BTEzUKfhWl8
genre: alt rock
cw: lens flares, blood/injury, supernatural elements (spectral wings)
note: CC in English and Korean. Generalized warning that this feels very much like it's coming from a place of talking about someone lost to death (it wouldn't have to be, but it's hard to escape the undertones). We won't comment on using Latin in reference to a Greek myth.


Woo Yerin - My Hyacinth https://youtu.be/FhaZVdjOFqU
genre: folk rock
cw: flashing, lens flares
note: and now for another dose of genre whiplash! So folk it's practically country-western


AHN YEEUN - DENY ⚠️ https://youtu.be/gnNNVo3CegM
genre: alt rock
cw: moth, body horror, vomiting, blood, possible possession?
note: is "horror rock" a thing? Ahn Yeeun does that sort of thing very well - like in this case, turning the color yellow, usually something cheerful and comforting, into something horrific. Elevated warning for the horror vibes.


Queenz Eye - Y2K https://youtu.be/9TB9kjkrs_E
genre: dance pop
cw: flashing, background strobing lights
note: there's something ... something about watching a bunch of girls who hadn't even been conceived until YEARS after the Y2K hullabaloo. I mean, yeah, the average active writer for these groups is going to be a good 10+ years old than them, but still. πŸ˜…


SEEYA - You, Like Spring https://youtu.be/bd3shTmJtbk
genre: pop rock
cw: flashing stage lights, lens flares
note: so sandwiched between two much younger groups, the mature original SeeYa lineup, back together still, making this feel like more than just an anniversary thing. And as an older lady myself, I am here for it.


HEART OF WOMAN - Lost in Proof (debut) https://youtu.be/MB4F09i9Iwg
genre: dance pop
cw: flashing, light orbs
note: had to replay it and I'm 98% sure there's a balance/mixing error where total volume goes up and then back down lower. It's not a huge error, I'm not sure one would even catch it if they were using speakers, so... And then my brain pulled a noppleninger and my focus was completely lost. πŸ˜…πŸ˜…


INDEGOAID - S.O.R (feat. DJ Aidemo, hanwool) ⚠️ ❌ https://youtu.be/rTNA8esGc6Y
genre: hiphop
cw: aggressive flashing, inverted B&W, brightness, camera motion
note: all those warnings combined to force me off the video at maybe halfway thru, I'm not sure, I was being pestered at the time as well πŸ˜… So yeah, warnings might still be incomplete, proceed with caution


Forestella - Now We Are Free (THE LEGACY ver) πŸ’š https://youtu.be/F04x3TtFzXA
genre: cinematic soundtrack
cw: flashing stage lights
note: I initially hesitated to put this on the listing and really had only left it in the playlist as a pre-programmed break for myself, but then I got here and oh this is a stage performance with a modern dance troupe and since I no longer have the bandwidth for The Overflow (where I used to send these sorts of things), I'm pulling it back into the new releases list, despite it being a cover. I'm not crying, you're crying 😭😭😭😭


Seok Matthew (ZEROBASEONE) - Love Ain't Easy πŸ’š https://youtu.be/nZS9J20OWog
genre: R&B
cw: flashing (muted), lens flares
note: composition and lyrics credits to Matthew, aww... still not crying, still you crying 😭


Yiya - Wish You Happiness https://youtu.be/jmZXbbRwSVo
genre: adult contemporary
cw: moving bokeh, animated video "artifacts"
note: it says music video, but it might be more accurate to call it a lyric video. Potential hanky warning ... or maybe I was just primed for it by the previous couple of tracks.


Jin Kwon - 따릉이 타고 갈게 https://youtu.be/HevwmN0WmDU
genre: folk rock
note: almost feels like an e-bike commercial πŸ˜…


NMIXX, Anderson .Paak - Caution πŸ”€ ⚠️ https://youtu.be/eJd4ii5avNw
genre: hiphop
cw: aggressive flashing, police presence
note: elevated warning for the amount of aggressive flashing. I know it's a common practice in US pop, but CC in all caps is so not good practice.


aespa - LEMONADE πŸ”€ https://youtu.be/83C3TZ4Zm_o
genre: EDM
cw: flashing, implied police presence
note: CC in 8 tracks, including English. I'd just like to have a few Words with the styling team.....


Krystal - PWLT (People Want to Live Together) https://youtu.be/6wHI_rLQiSc
genre: R&B
cw: lens flares, brightness
note: everything about this is giving 70s Motown vibes, so if that's your jam, have I got good news for you


Henry Lau - ENJOY THE SHOW πŸ’š https://youtu.be/nbBSwZRXmEU
genre: country-western dance pop
cw: lens flares, camera motion
note: Hoe down fiddle in my Kpop? It's more likely than you think! πŸ˜… Kinda want to see a face-off between Henry and Lindsey Stirling now. Guess we're going to have to add That Saloon Set to the list of That Places.


AhfonΓ© - time travel https://youtu.be/5m2nWkxp6NY
genre: EDM/hiphop
cw: lens flares, camera motion, flashing (dark)
note: the camera motion almost took me out a couple of times. Normally, I'd let this just stand as hiphop, but the EDM elements were too strong to not mark.


Peakboy - ClichΓ© Song https://youtu.be/004zaWJECwg
genre: R&B
cw: flashing graphics
note: the way this starts with a warning about unsynced content was enough for me to pause to make sure I had this note written out before I did anything else. I won't spoil what this actually meant, but ... well played, sir. 🀣 And now I miss California.


CHEEZE - Universe (My Royal Nemesis OST) https://youtu.be/6nZLGMuDJFY
genre: adult contemporary (ballad)
cw: lens flares, medical/hospital, sudden kiss trope
note: video is entirely clips from the drama, so may contain spoilers.


off the menu - Superpower ❌ https://youtu.be/GOigANXwOPQ
genre: alt rock
cw: flashing, unsteady cam, surrealism
note: I don't know if it needs a warning or not, but the mindless, pointless violence, even while being aimed at inanimate objects, just ... turned me off entirely, so I quit about 2/3rds of the way through.


BoA - Ain't No Hard Feelings πŸ’š https://youtu.be/YeVCiWLuqYU
genre: R&B
cw: lens flares, video "artifacts"
note: Not sure why we're calling this a visualizer instead of an MV, but whatever. On third thought, I'm going to say BoA's the one who secretly found the Fountain of Youth because damn.


WeJiSu - True to Myself https://youtu.be/pv806mkjwl4
genre: funk rock
cw: video "artifacts," lens flares
note: another vintage-styled video, this keeps up and I might have to call it a trend. πŸ˜… Lack of brass precludes it from being funk, but that's some very funky wah-wah on the guitar, so funk rock it is?


Kim Donghyun - Relay https://youtu.be/842UVKy2Luw
genre: soft rock
note: surprisingly no real lens flares, despite being shot outside, on a rooftop, with the sun sort of behind the singer.


CORTIS - Blue Lips πŸ”€ https://youtu.be/hOIY3OhvD94
genre: R&B/hiphop/spoken word
cw: dripping wet boys (fully clothed), water glare, lens flare
note: CC in 8 tracks, including English. Don't look at me, the genre tags are what they are (could probably have collapsed it down to just R&B but pfft)


Jang Beom June - She in Class
genre: funk
cw: water glare, lens flares, brightness, supernatural elements (implied angel)
note: might even be funk rock? Ah yes, the things men will do thinking they're in love....


Lacostar - Ben 10 🚩 https://youtu.be/AWYRo1JS_lY
genre: hiphop
cw: possibly genslopped augments
note: you know, I thought for sure I had to be wrong about what this was going to be, but no, it's exactly what the title says


Tabber - New Moon πŸ”€ https://youtu.be/Vkx6SSd612E
genre: R&B/EDM
cw: flashing, old school horror tropes
note: CC in English ... and falls in and out of sync, le sigh.


Jeon Gunho - My Person (2026) https://youtu.be/rwDeYFnkDh0
genre: adult contemporary (ballad)
cw: lens flares
note: white text hard subs with minimal effort made to separate them from the video, so the predictable happens when they land on top of his sweater.


Chanwhi - Our Time https://youtu.be/aLm8u5TBIII
genre: adult contemporary (ballad)
note: tiny beef with the font aside, at least this way the hard subs are consistently visible? πŸ˜…


RapidEye - Remedy 🚩https://youtu.be/QDWZuzjrufA
genre: dance pop
cw: janky af animations
note: another virtual group? or maybe worse than that, I don't know, this may be their last appearance on the listing because yikes, is this super bad


Kang Seungyoon - No breaks (Reborn Rookie OST) https://youtu.be/fhaNZlCSSNw
genre: rock
cw: implied male nudity, lens flares, camera flashes
note: video is entirely clips from the drama, so may contain spoilers.


DaNTe' - Even the day I let you go ❌ https://youtu.be/-BWRx1ASSSg
genre: R&B
cw: video "artifacts," lens flares
note: honestly, if you're normal, it's probably fine - I made it over halfway before the flaring brightness and my own stupid headache took me out, so...


Renjun (NCT) - Echoes Between Us (solo debut) πŸ’š https://youtu.be/FFcgGFpO1n0
genre: adult contemporary (ballad)
cw: blood/injury, flashing, lens flares, surrealism, potential hanky warning
note: the hard subs were a bit hard to read on my screen due to size. Thought about labeling this as "supernatural" for the greenery, then decided on "surrealism" instead. I'm not crying, you're crying!


Tra - Fall in you (λ―ΈμΉ˜λ„λ‘ λ„ˆλ§Œμ„ OST) https://youtu.be/Tl8ONdW-iFQ
genre: adult contemporary (ballad)
note: I tried to find an English title for this webtoon, but after all the research I've already had to do this week, I quickly ran out of steam, so hangul title it is. Not a fan of this form of open captioning, but the chonky drop shadow is better than doing nothing, so...


TREASURE - IF I πŸ”€ ⚠️ https://youtu.be/QERKD90hG98
genre: hiphop
cw: aggressive flashing, blood/injury, arson
note: CC in English. Elevated warning for the aggressively violent imagery and severe flashing.


tripleS - Baby Flower πŸ”€ https://youtu.be/6q8UMVXhXsE
genre: dance pop
cw: lens flares, disco ball
note: CC in 5 tracks, including English. The way I thought this was another subunit at first...


Leewoo - It'll Be Alright https://youtu.be/Ic41nPLRwFs
genre: adult contemporary (ballad)
note: do you need the potential hanky warning note or are you normal? It's the breathy delivery as much as anything. Once again, the hard subs are not great, but we've seen worse. [insert side note here about being old enough to remember when "alright" was not all right]


FIFTY FIFTY - Like a Bubble πŸ”€ 🚩 https://youtu.be/iZzpq5iqevg
genre: dance pop
cw: surrealism, lens flares, water glare
note: CC in 5 tracks, including English. That bubble elk was almost definitely genslop, sigh, meaning there could well be other slopped elements as well. I hate it here.


Chaein - How do you feel (Little Toad, Little Toad OST) https://youtu.be/YUo-4KADFrg
genre: folk rock
note: video is entirely clips from the movie, so may contain spoilers. Out of context, these clips are only mildly creepy at most, which makes the disconnect between the tone of the movie and the tone of the song... something


SHINee - Atmos πŸ”€ ⚠️ πŸ’š https://youtu.be/1XFEtAx5i7E
genre: dance pop
cw: aggressive flashing, unsteady cam, lens flares, animated flashing, fireworks/pyrotechnics
note: CC in 8 tracks, including English. Why do they keep giving SM boys cars? It never ends well for the car. Four keys and a star? I'm not crying, you're crying!! 😭😭😭😭😭


MEOVV - DDI RO RI πŸ”€ ⚠️ 🚩 https://youtu.be/aHM2RKeMaeM
genre: dance pop
cw: aggressive flashing, horror vibes
note: CC in 8 tracks, including English. Any time we START with Bach's Tocatta and Fugue, we know we're in for something. Sigh. The CC being censored in a way the lyrics aren't is so irritating. Pretty sure they genslopped several elements and I'm just... sigh.


REGO - To Everyone I Love https://youtu.be/hvgVNAMFBw4
genre: rock
cw: unsteady cam, lens flares, flashing stage lights
note: I guess it'd be unfair to say these hard subs disappear, but they get hard to read a few times. Feels like an anniversary gift song/video with all the behind the scenes and stage clips, but I've just about used up my research tokens for the week, so....


age x - saddenly ❌ https://youtu.be/cs7PDv5XAKE
genre: R&B
cw: lens flares, SI warning
note: I ended up scrolling down pretty fast with that flash pointed right at the goddamn camera so much, so warnings are likely to be incomplete.


hizui - isn't this love? πŸ’š https://youtu.be/OSxNtA94vRM
genre: R&B
note: another instance where the subs don't entirely disappear, but they're still not great. Always in love with a woman with a deeper singing tone.


Sung Sikyung - Day dream https://youtu.be/oEQTh959YDg
genre: adult contemporary
note: potential hanky warning, but put down here due to lack of any other warnings. πŸ˜‰


XIA - GRAVITY ⚠️ ❌ 🚩 https://youtu.be/bdctjZjx5Hs
genre: EDM
cw: aggressive flashing, lens flares
note: Junsu is actually showing his age (kinda), but ooph, too much flashing, I had to nope out. Suspect there was some genslop even in the little I did get to see, so that's ... yeah. πŸ˜“


N.Flying - In Between Seasons https://youtu.be/BosYKbiNw_k
genre: pop rock
cw: flashing, lens flares
note: Are we moving in or moving out or yes? πŸ˜… Grown men being silly boys? Yes please!


K.Will - This Is How Love Begins (Doctor on the Edge OST) https://youtu.be/MdVYF-meqIk
genre: adult contemporary
cw: water glare, suicide attempt, trauma
note: video is entirely clips of the drama, so may contain spoilers. Well, as long as 2026 is being the year of surprise comebacks from my faves of the early to mid 2000s....


Anyujin (IVE) - Sad Saltiness (The Legend of Kitchen Soldier OST) https://youtu.be/Exv3da2e0xs
genre: pop rock
cw: flashing, military, supernatural elements (??)
note: video is roughly half clips from the drama, which may contain spoilers, and half clips from the recording studio. Since I'm not watching it, I can't say what's behind the system elements seen in the clips.


Wanna One - Spring Breeze, Again https://youtu.be/Ja6XFh-LLWQ
genre: R&B
cw: flashing, stage lights
note: the font used for the hard subs is terrible, le sigh, but I'm not really paying attention cuz of the clips of the boys all radiate such joy. I really need to watch this one of these days


And that's the week! What were your favorites? Any surprises? Let's chat!
