Sunmi continues to lose her power over the K-Popjustice subforum as Balloon in Love becomes her lowest ranking song in #KSOTY history. Yes, even lower than 2023's Call My Name which finished at number 70. I don't think we're ready for @BEST FICTION's fury...... Hold on to your weaves, unnies!
Balloon in Love is the lone single released by Sunmi in 2024 (I'm not including the OST she did in October, by the way). It was written by Sunmi and Lee Do Hee with the lyrics fully written by Sunmi. Balloon in Love peaked at number 89 on the Circle Digital Chart.
Balloon in Love, I feel like, was designed to be a major course correction by Sunmi since her 2023 eclectic single, Stranger, wasn't really well-received. But I feel like she course-corrected wayyy too hard to the point that all the edge her music usually has is all sanded down. To me, Balloon in Love is her least interesting single yet and I'm not saying that just because it's more understated than most of her singles. Heart Burn, another understated offering from her, is my favourite song of hers. So I know Sunmi can definitely deliver something better even without resorting to tricks and gimmicks.
Well, to be honest, I'm making it sound like I hate Balloon in Love which is not the case at all. It's only the chorus that I find really subpar. A shame, really, because those excellent verses deserve an equally excellent chorus. But it's in the middle 8 where the song truly shines... only to lead to another dose of that forgettable chorus. The production... is not Sunmi's best but I think it's perfect for the summer season so I don't hate it.
I really hope Sunmi finds her way back to releasing great music again. I know she still has it in her so I'm not giving up on this unnie just yet. To be honest, I don't think I ever will. I will always have time for her. Rooting for you, unnie!

Sorry sister, no meltdown from me this year. The results stopped making sense at like #99, so I've just been along for the ride <3 And sadly this is what I've come to expect from these participants taste-wise, so I can't be mad.
he/him
Hmmm -- most of the early eliminations have been spot on but there have been a couple glaring, baffling decisions in the last handful of elims. This should have gone way further.
This last string of eliminations has been especially hateful. As much as I like it, I obviously get NEMONEMO is very divisive and was always going to be an early cut, but Full moon, Inner Dance and Balloon In Love are all excellent songs which deserved to make the top half of the rate at the very least.

I knew you heathens would tank this so that's all I'll say about that. I agree with the Yerin Baek parallels so instead of going back to JYP again now that she's worked with Chungha, can Sunmi collaborate with Yerin next? Something in the vein of Square would be excellent.
Also just for some context on this, Sunmi made multiple tracks to be the title track that were more her usual style, but they were rejected by ABYSS. They told her they wanted an "easy listening" song so she angrily presented Balloon In Love to them as a last resort and they ended up loving it. Chungha asked if these other songs would ever see the light of day, maybe on a mini album and Sunmi wasn't sure since she made them to be title tracks, but teased that maybe they'd appear on a full album (don't hold your breath on that one, girls.)
So all in all, send hate to @ABYSS_COMPANY if you don't like the song!

I played four Red Velvet remixes last night in a house/garage afterparty set.Red Velvet mentioned 5 times in an elimination that does not concern them. Always and forever a RELEVANT group!
Their staying power!
Ah! I didn’t know all these shenanigans were going on behind the scenes. I guess that’s why her label mate BamBam left the company.
he / they
I disconnected a bit from Sunmi for a bit because she started talking about NFTs so I kind of brushed her away. This was the first song I'd purposefully listened to since maybe Go Or Stop.
she/her
Balloon in Love is stunning and should have lasted longer.

Another diva down! Just missing the top 80 is Miss Hwasa's NA.
NA is the lead single of Hwasa's second mini album, O. It was composed by Yoo Gun Hyung, TBHits, Amanda Ratchford, Marlon Roudette, Theron Thomas, PSY, Shinae An, Tricia Battani and G’harah “PK” Degeddingseze with lyrics written by Penomeco, Damian & Psy. NA peaked at number 97 on Circle Digital Chart, a major downgrade from her previous single, I Love My Body, which peaked at number 9.
Sigh..... the potential this song has... only to be destroyed by that trash chorus. Psy, you will pay for your crimes! No but when this song started, I was filled with so much hope that this will be Hwasa's best single since... oh my god, since 2020's María? The first verse was great but it's that pre-chorus that really had me hyped. And then I was met with maybe the worst chorus of 2024. The song never quite recovered after that.
Look, I get it, the chorus is very catchy. It's fun, I like the beat, etc. I sometimes find myself reasoning out in my head that, hmmm, maybe this isn't too bad actually. But I just know in my heart of hearts that this song deserved a better chorus than what it got. You don't even need to look that far because there's a song called Ego in the same damn album that really should've been the lead single. The chorus for that song sounds so, so cool and what a diva like Hwasa deserves. I'll link it down below for you to enjoy.

THE JURY'S THOUGHTS:
@love choerry motion (1): "All over the place and not good, please make it end"
@KimLippington (4): "Tacky!"
@savilizabeths (4.5): "I've never been much of a Hwasa girlie and this doesn't exactly do anything to bring me onboard." [Slicey: She's a fantastic performer with charisma for dayssss. But some of her musical choices.... mama....]
@Vixen (4.5): "It's… fine… Actually…is it? Girl, I don't know. Like obviously she can sing, but it comes off as annoying and gimmicky, to no one's surprise I suppose. Let's just say that this being a P Nation song makes perfect sense. Could also have been a recent (G)I-DLE song I suppose - oop" [Slicey: We need to free her from Pee Nation actually, I'm so serious!]
@BEST FICTION (5): "I remember the month I voted for this being sooooo bad and barren. The songs that aren't in this rate while this made it ajbfjasfsa" [Slicey: Gurl, if only you gave this 1.25 less points, Balloon in Love would've defeated it!! Learn from this!!]
@clowezra (5): "Yeah maybe!"
@leedlelee... (5): "The title is perfect because that’s exactly what I said after listening to this track…"
@mika (5): "This sounds like something I listened in 1992"
@askew (5.5): "Noona Gangnam Style" [Slicey: Byeeee]
@eccentricsimply (6): "Can't believe this is the woman who released Twit."
@Crisp X (7): "I never thought I'd say this, and I hope this stays between us, but I miss Mamamoo and their clown pop shenanigans" [Slicey: FFFFFFF hopefully you don't miss them performing as dogs for a song called Waggy, unnie....]
@ysev (7.5): "Oh oh okay Miss María doing it for the gay clubs (in the UK)! There's just something about Hwasa that always gives me court jester and that's what keeps me from truly bopping to any of her songs beyond the post-irony confusion (is it good? is it bad?) that I feel listening to her. Like... I would never go out of my way to actively seek any of her output but when it comes on somewhere (literally only once a year when we rate) I bop... or I don'T?" [Slicey: COURT JESTER SHDGFKJHSDGFHKSAD SHUT UPPPPPPP!!]
@boom bazooka joe (8.5): "What an upgrade from that Meghan Trainor trash she released in 2023."
@codecat (8.75): "Last year, she loved her bawdy. This year she loves THE GAYS."
@Salami (10): "When I first heard this I hated it because it has that same beat that I'm so sick of. Fortunately she changes it up very quickly. I don't know how people don't love her after watching her perform this, she's got everything. Well done to whoever picked this, she remains flawless."
@soratami (10): "BANGER!!! People will say “it’s giving PSY”, and, well it definitely does give PSY. Now stop acting like that’s a bad thing." [Slicey: Sorry sister but we just have to agree to disagree on this one...]
@KimLippington (4): "Tacky!"
@savilizabeths (4.5): "I've never been much of a Hwasa girlie and this doesn't exactly do anything to bring me onboard." [Slicey: She's a fantastic performer with charisma for dayssss. But some of her musical choices.... mama....]
@Vixen (4.5): "It's… fine… Actually…is it? Girl, I don't know. Like obviously she can sing, but it comes off as annoying and gimmicky, to no one's surprise I suppose. Let's just say that this being a P Nation song makes perfect sense. Could also have been a recent (G)I-DLE song I suppose - oop" [Slicey: We need to free her from Pee Nation actually, I'm so serious!]
@BEST FICTION (5): "I remember the month I voted for this being sooooo bad and barren. The songs that aren't in this rate while this made it ajbfjasfsa" [Slicey: Gurl, if only you gave this 1.25 less points, Balloon in Love would've defeated it!! Learn from this!!]
@clowezra (5): "Yeah maybe!"
@leedlelee... (5): "The title is perfect because that’s exactly what I said after listening to this track…"
@mika (5): "This sounds like something I listened in 1992"
@askew (5.5): "Noona Gangnam Style" [Slicey: Byeeee]
@eccentricsimply (6): "Can't believe this is the woman who released Twit."
@Crisp X (7): "I never thought I'd say this, and I hope this stays between us, but I miss Mamamoo and their clown pop shenanigans" [Slicey: FFFFFFF hopefully you don't miss them performing as dogs for a song called Waggy, unnie....]
@ysev (7.5): "Oh oh okay Miss María doing it for the gay clubs (in the UK)! There's just something about Hwasa that always gives me court jester and that's what keeps me from truly bopping to any of her songs beyond the post-irony confusion (is it good? is it bad?) that I feel listening to her. Like... I would never go out of my way to actively seek any of her output but when it comes on somewhere (literally only once a year when we rate) I bop... or I don'T?" [Slicey: COURT JESTER SHDGFKJHSDGFHKSAD SHUT UPPPPPPP!!]
@boom bazooka joe (8.5): "What an upgrade from that Meghan Trainor trash she released in 2023."
@codecat (8.75): "Last year, she loved her bawdy. This year she loves THE GAYS."
@Salami (10): "When I first heard this I hated it because it has that same beat that I'm so sick of. Fortunately she changes it up very quickly. I don't know how people don't love her after watching her perform this, she's got everything. Well done to whoever picked this, she remains flawless."

Now, it's time for your updated Kill Lists!!
Please comment the 10 song you think should/will be eliminated next!!
Hints for the next 10 eliminations:
6 Superbloom Songs
4 Non-Superbloom Songs
At least 1 song by a male act
So what you're saying is that you could've given Balloon in Love a 9 and prevented this?
It's ok though, @soratami was worried they'd be the first to lose both their Superblooms, but my 5 for NA prevented that... We were both still knocked out before the Top 80, but maybe we were too ahead of our time for certain people!
