This is not your abuela's Asian funk!

Seungmin (Stray Kids) - My Destiny (The potato lab OST)
cw: blood/injury, sudden kiss trope

Video is half soft puppy Seungmin, half clips from the drama, so beware of spoilers. And overacting. And a dripping wet ML.
(I've been moving this down the SotD listing for about a month now, oops, totally a coincidence that this is popping at the same time as my ire peaking)

( bonus SotD: ARrC - nu kidz )

I realize the 20th ended hours ago, but shhh. I don't know how long I'm going to keep this up, but for now ... a piece of joy every day. Or in this instance, four pieces of joy (so no embeds - I'll do that starting with tomorrow)

1. ATEEZ - Celebrate https://youtu.be/xnDTQ8qV3nE
Because we all need some love and encouragement to keep being who we are, regardless of what that looks like to others. You are wonderful and unique and so very loved.

2. Stray Kids - Youtiful https://youtu.be/RrFn_KJn7Rk
cw: animated twinkling, hanky warning
Yeah, this one always gets me right in the feels, which was rather the point, since this is a love bombing in Kpop

3. NCT 2021 - Beautiful https://youtu.be/nAvjYapdSxk
cw: lens flares, Taeil
This is one from their never-perform-live (again; they did it once) collection, but if they did decide to bring it back, I would not be sad to see them giving Taeil's lines to Doyoung and Kun. Especially Kun.

4. The Rose - You're Beautiful https://youtu.be/7IFJQRlcNQ0
cw: Woosung's cardigan oh lort XD
Arguably more romantic than the others, but it's all in how you choose to read it, really. Plus I just really love the way the boys tease Woosung.


Keep strong, look out for each other, and for as long as I can, I'll keep bringing you Kpop (and other Asian pop) both new and old.
