KPB22 Readers' Poll

MOST MISSED MILITARY HUSBAND​


military.png

1. Wonho ♡​

26 points / 6 votes

2. Taemin ♡ SHINee​

23 points / 5 votes


3. Wyatt ♡ ONF​

17 points / 5 votes




Not the most surprising of results, but it was actually pretty close! Wonho wins this one on account of being probably the most universally thirsted after idol, but also because his solo career was going very well and he filled a pop niche with no other real competitors (from20 has been putting in a good effort though hehe) But really the most egregious thing is (I believe since he is working as a public officer or something due to injury) we haven't even gotten a single pic of him in uniform, though he has been uploading many other pics on his social media in the time he has been enlisted.


Taemin has always been SHINee's baby and also a very sensitive individual, so people were (unfortunately correctly) worrying for what his enlistment period would entail. The idol had to be discharged early due to mental health concerns, and is already back with us for the most recent SHINee comeback, and I believe a solo comeback due later this year too.


Also already back with us is Wyatt, who was recently discharged and reunited with the other ONF members, and also immediately hydration for the thirsty:







Other idols to get two votes were DAY6's Wonpil, EXO's Baekhyun and ONF's Hyojin.

Today we eliminate 10sec, a B-side by the band LUCY. Man I always hate having to write commentary for a song I don’t care for that did really well, I don’t wanna drag it when we are this close to the finish line! This is… fine, but I don’t know, this sunshine café music kinda annoys me. I have enjoyed a LUCY song here and there but overall I’m never gonna stan this style.

@Christopher (4.5) is not feeling it either: “The weird “Tusk” drum intro got me excited, but then it instantly devolved into the kind of pastiche nu-jazz that gives me waking nightmares. I suppose if I was in Busan getting a root canal this would be fine listening, but otherwise…” Oh my god ffff @Salami (5) thinks LUCY is a figment of our imagination: “I'm sure this group doesn't exist outside of this rate because it's the only time I hear of them. I don't think I'm missing too much. Bit too jazzy for my liking.” I’m also kinda surprised by the loyal following they get here, but I guess we will keep seeing their songs pop in this rate, hehe.

@Wills (7.75) (who I believe first introduced me to the group sksks) dishes out some criticism: “Man, I dunno… I've been hot on these guys for awhile, but this album just completely failed to grab me like their earlier work did. Luckily, they seem to be back on form this year, so I won't be unstanning anytime soon!” and @chrisjche (8.5) found potential new faves: “This song made me want to dive into the rest of their discography!” Good for you guys!

@boom bazooka joe (9) stans the vocals: “SING, BESTIE!” @enjoy (9) on the other hand comments on the instrumental “A lovely arrangement. The waltz-y melody with the piano plink plonking in contrast the tasty bass... Inject it to me.”, as does @MmmDani (9): “The production makes this song. Strings are always a win.” I think @Attis (10) Boy Boosted one of their songs in a previous rate, he calls this “Real music”. I’m scared @Slice of Life will ban me for my score, since he gave this his (11) “for the arts, not the charts!!”. Well, it did end up doing well in this chart so there you go!

I don't know much about Wonpil, but he seems like a nice fella. Cute boyfriend-like looks, and he gets points from me (figuratively) for being a keyboard/synth king. Kinda gagged he was the only DAY6 member to get votes! Also gagged by how different he looks with the shorter undercut!

Tonight’s elimination leaves us with only three Team Sweet tracks, and this one is perhaps one of the best representatives of those. Candy Sugar Pop by ASTRO sounds exactly as the title suggests, though I guess it’s a bit more mature sounding than NCT’s similarly titled effort… @MmmDani (6) comments “The lesser of two sweet-based evils.” and @enjoy (8.5) also drags the other group a bitsy: “I feel like every song that comes after NCT tracks are getting extra points from me. This is fun though, the chorus is addictive. I can't say no to a f*ggy last chorus.” @Salami (6) had to brace himself: “Dreaded it from the title alone. I won't be listening again but it wasn't awful.”

@Christopher (8) says “Solid. Good rap break.” and @nikkysan(8) rejoices: “It's been years since I've liked an ASTRO title this much.” According to @Attis (10) they are “Finally returning to their roots.” @Wills (8.25) however, is satisfied but not that impressed: “Not bad, but really hoping they're done with this dead-behind-the-eyes disco pop for awhile” Honestly I feel your fatigue but I would still rather listen to these than the stereotypical shout-a-thon (this is a false dichotomy, of course, but currently it’s pretty much the reality). Regardless, I've noticed a distinct lack of 10s for a song this close to the Top 10, so I guess you're right. To me this is the most 8-score sounding song of all time!

@boom bazooka joe (9) commentary hurts a bit, of course: “I'm starting to get more into Astro lately for reasons. (Moonbin is the reasons.) This song is so cute.” He was definitely a stan attractor and, for me, the face of the group, though Eunwoo got really popular in the mainstream as an actor too. Speaking of him, @chrisjche (9.5) says: “Though it sounds like a SHINee album track, I love it - chorus is so catchy! And Eunwoo looks amazing as always.” He does, he is so unbelievably handsome fff And I definitely hear the SHINee comparison, this wouldn’t sound out of place on one of their newer albums.

DPR IAN (Christian Yu), was a rapper and leader of the K-Pop group C-CLOWN (this is why he is these charts/rates despite singing in English and not promoting in Korea). After their disbandment in 2015, he went ahead and founded DPR, a multi-genre music and video group of which he is the CEO and Visual Director.

I mean... look at the material. Do I even need to say anything? This man is SEXY. I'm not usually this much of a simp for the sleazy rockstar, cigarettes and tattoos vibe, but here it just does something for me fff

Candy Sugar Pop’s chorus is great, I think the verses let it down for me. NCT’s Candy verses were the only redeeming factor, the rest of it is a sugar rush nightmare.

I’m surprised by how far apart these were eliminated, I expected them to land quite close together.
