Once again this forum proves to be a bunch of terminally joyless flops. I thought this place was supposed to celebrate cheesy pop music? This song has hooks galore (that pre-chorus is awesome), a production style that stands out against the current ocean of sameness, and a charismatic and enthusiastic performance. What more could you actually ask for? What it and N.O.M don't have, however, is a budget above ₩100.000, but I guess that's part of the DIY, lo-fi charm of the whole thing.

Well, at least the actual gheys managed to end up higher than the pretend gheys of OnlyOneOf, so there's some PopJustice in this early elimination, kii. Yes, like the song or not, N.O.M (Nature of Man) deserves praise for being unabashedly fucking queer in a society that is still very Christian and very bigoted, still moving forward and releasing music almost a decade (!!!) into their career. Props to these queens!!! I particularly love the sassy rapper one, he serves in the MV.

@boombazookajoe (10) is conflicted: “Here's the tea -- there's no way to actually rate this song with any objectivity. It's far and away the worst track here. But on sheer audacity of these men for doing ... all of this paired with the sheer audacity of whoever decided to submit this song, I don't want it to be eliminated first. So hopefully my 10 helps.”. Meanwhile @Inland Empire (6,5) is confused: “?”

@Attis (2) tests my enjoyment of him “Suddenly I become homophobic, get the bag off the tv I'm not watching that, maggot oop queen-” as does @KimLippington (2) “I’m sawry but I do not have the sense of humour for this and I’ll never listen to it again outside this rate.” @eatyourself (6) makes a pertinent comparison: “What sort of Jiraya OST.”

@Salami (1) says “I don’t like novelty songs and this sounds and looks like one. Sorry if it’s serious but I couldn’t hack it.” Fair enough, I guess! @bbynewyear (6) offers a measured take: “A better song than I expected from a group that after a quick google search, looked kinda gimmicky - good for them!”

Let's end on a positive note with our song-submitter and our 11-giver!

@Ana Raquel (10) is here to represent her great taste in chaotic bops: “I had to pick the song that invented the Korean gays from the 80s I hope you enjoy it!!!!!!!!! Also seriously, they've released some bangers in the past few years go check their music out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

@FunkyButChic (11)
spills: “What? Did you think I was lying about this being an 11? Ya’ll… what a song. A true 80s throwback. That classic chord progression! The squared-off rhythm! A bare-bones but totally effective chorus that just keeps on stacking the hooks! It has all the elements of a Sobangcha smash, but sleeker and sexier and far more open about taking it up the ass. N.O.M are fighting the good fight for cigs and good music and we should celebrate that.”

I actually had it a bit higher at first. I think it was a 7. Like it was camp, it was gay, it was cute. But once I had to listen to it like 16 more times as I was rating the whole playlist, the song just lost a lot of its gimmick and novelty.

I think it could have been funny if it lasted a little longer and continued outranking actual serious efforts from other artists, but realistically, it makes sense that it would leave now ddd.

You people really think Hot Sauce is better than this?
NCTzens are one of the biggest organized crime factions of this forum... they will literally do whatever it takes. Don't come for me y'all, I like/love all of their songs here.

actual serious efforts

Now I know I didn't just read this on PopJustice dot com!
Just because the song is funny / not serious doesn't mean it didn't take actual effort or that it's less deserving than anything else here. Plus, they are indie chanteuses competing against billionaire entertainment companies!

Oh I mean effort, as in you know...releases, something that was produced, put out. And so I just meant it's a bit of a comical release, not meant to be taken seriously and an attempt to reach some sort of success, as opposed to... like pretty much the whole list here of releases from mid-to-major companies.

I mean yeah it’s a novelty song but it slaps. You just know if it was released by some unfunny Korean comedian like Yoo Jae-suk it would get a PAK (with different lyrics I guess dd.)

Anyways, there’s much worse left so let’s focus on getting rid of that and leave the homos alone!

Ooooh and let me just say that No Strings Attached is one of my favorite discoveries in this rate, so thanks for that @nikkysan.

I wish Holland made a comeback this year, and then, it would be a lot more queer here, but anyway, that's me with my 20BiTeen nostalgia on this forum. Anyway, I fell to this song's campness. There is something about hearing something for the 1st time ever, and getting your eyes' attention for that video. There are a lot more high scores coming for Team Fairy.
 
Mega Punch is not just some non-serious fluff, it's a hook filled song that knows itself and doesn't take itself seriously.
It is better than many songs left.
I've always been impressed by the value put into promotion and videos for Kpop artists. But I'm also used to low budgets consuming so many PJSC eligible songs so the video was very much appreciated.
