#KS⟲TY2022: The K-Pop Song of the Year 2022 Rate | #28

I’m quite scared of take-off when flying and I fly relatively often, and the absolute serotonin boost Smiley by Yena gives means it’s become my go to song to put on repeat until the plane reaches cruising altitude ….
For that alone I’m having to give it at least a 9.
 
If you still haven't voted in the 2012 portion and you're looking for songs that weren't included in the playlist, then may I please present to you:





They all deserve a spot, so please vote with your hearts.

I only voted for things you typically see on those “Kpop songs you should know” lists because my 2012 knowledge is poor.
I started getting into k-pop late 2012/early 2013 and it was the BEST time. I always love to find out what era people got into kpop because I feel so many did in 2012/2013 with the output being so strong. (Although my first foray was Sorry Sorry by SJ in 2008 which I became obsessed with on holiday)

I first heard of it in 2012 but I wouldn’t say I started properly listening outside of SNSD until 2014 maybe.

A couple slow months on the release radar have sent me digging through Kpop herstory once again, so this side rate is happening at the perfect time. I'm not sure that my personal 2022 top ten quite matches my 2012 picks, but a) that's a mighty high bar to clear, and b) it came far closer than either of the two previous years!

More than anything, it's just great to celebrate Kpop past and present. And yes I'll recant if The Chaser fails to make top 10!

Played 40-odd before I nodded off after midnight. But I'm going to start early today to aim to play and rank the rest. There will be a break, however, as I have an important VOCAL COACH meeting at 4pm today, and I'm so, so excited but nervous but I need one locally!!!
