👀 I SEE YOU (Persistent Requests I'm Getting To!)
These are on my radar. No need to re-request — but if you want to keep hearting them, that helps!
🔜 SEVENTEEN Killing Voice — Bennett, Elodie, hannah jade — every single month. It's in the KV queue. It's happening.
🔜 Baekhyun "The Letter" — Nika, 25 hearts, MONTHS of patience. Coming.
🔜 BTOB Killing Voice — Next up in the KV queue!
🔜 Forestella — Zaphne AND Maria, I see you both. Multiple months requesting.
🔜 Taeyeon Killing Voice — Rye and others, noted. After current queue.
🔜 NCT Dream/NCT 127 Killing Voice — still in the queue.
🔜 TXT — Bennett mentioned making an intro video
🚨 BTS ARMY — HEADS UP BTS "ARIRANG" album drops March 20! I'll be reacting when it releases. If you want specific BTS content before then, drop requests below.
💡 A NOTE ON HOW REQUESTS WORK I save ALL past song request posts including heart counts. If I didn't get to a song this month but it's had consistent hearts for two or three months in a row, that ABSOLUTELY moves it up my list. So if you've recommended something and I haven't gotten to it yet — KEEP RECOMMENDING IT. Your persistence is not annoying. It's data. It helps me serve you better. Nika proved it with Baekhyun. WOODZ took Bennett three months — and it got done. It works.
📝 HOW TO REQUEST, BE SUPER RESPECTFUL OF EACH OTHER 🙏 This is all about celebrating artists.
LINKS: Leave a comment with the YouTube link.
❤️ HEART EACH OTHERS' COMMENTS: This is everything! There are SO many recommendations that I can't get to all of them. Heart the ones you want to see! PRO TIP: Find your fellow fans on Discord and coordinate — Patreon doesn't let you message each other directly.
SHOUTOUTS! I'll give you a shoutout in the intro if I pick your comment. If your request is getting lots of hearts, feel free to add a few words about the artist that I can read on your behalf. (Don't want a shoutout? Just say so!)

I'm here once again to ask for your analysis of this Jongho solo 🫶 https://youtu.be/dyWNvMxaSIk?si=YCbagoy-zUMyTQsY
Hyunjin "Lover" ~showcases Hyunjin vocals well :)
Adding onto the Killing voice requests, Apink! From the same parent company as BTOB.
Please React to Hyunjin "Lover" it just came out for his birthday and he produced it himself.
Please react to the newly released Spotify live performance of "On The Road" by ATEEZ. It's a beautiful, heartfelt song off their new album that shows off all eight members' live singing chops~
Have y’all heard of KickFlip? Debut Date: 2024 • Group Type: K-pop boy group under JYP Entertainment • Members & Roles: • Kyehoon – Leader, Rapper • Amaru – Vocalist, Dancer • Donghwa – Vocalist • Juwang – Rapper • Minje – Vocalist • Keiju – Vocalist, Dancer • Donghyeon – Maknae (youngest), Vocalist The song “Mama Said” is a high-energy track that blends confidence with reflection. The song centers on living up to expectations while carving out your own identity—balancing pressure, discipline, and self-belief. MV: https://youtu.be/JY0UTOgh8M8?si=3R68i_q5ASWFrHwW Color coded: https://youtu.be/7_-lH7Vvl4A?si=2TWO6DR80QGEtaTQ
Thank you for the fun reactions. If you’re interested in doing an album reaction, I highly recommend NMIXX’s first full album “Blue Valentine” released in October last year. It was considered as one of the best k-pop albums released last year by fans and critics alike. Amazing vocals, production and just fun and interesting sounds. Would love to hear what you think of it. Thanks!
I'd like to recommend a Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame ft. Banzoin Hakka Mephisto Cover from the anime Oshi no ko. This cover is so cool and crazy. https://youtu.be/jqFPgcMt_Jo?si=hY_GR_U-TRUoH0Zv
Quick take or deep dive recommendations for Red Velvet Peek-A-Boo https://youtu.be/6uJf2IT2Zh8?si=NOVlTqzj1ZI-t8Xq Fast paced, fun, a little creepy. Zimzalabim https://youtu.be/YBnGBb1wg98?si=s_dy4N9zmYrZDXX2 An absolute trip of a song in regards to structure and musicality. I feel like this one is a little polarizing? Feels like riding a roller coaster. Bad Boy https://youtu.be/J_CFBjAyPWE?si=z3pexZuSVJmFaHAf One of their most popular ones. Very Velvet. Birthday https://youtu.be/Ut1OzEVUiM4?si=6U7kjwmVy42hI9Ly Also another trip of a song. References Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue". Co-written by EJAE.
Requesting for some lesser known K-indie Artists with great voices, compositions and vocal colour!: Hachiko - Big Naughty, SION, Yescoba, Ahn Dayoung [WING CYPHER LIVE VERSION] https://youtu.be/5jfri9NGsmI?si=G-X-E37q2yVL80Y8 SION - Comedy, Cutlery Collector, Dirt Cheap [LIVE] https://youtu.be/N3m1W8-k0d8?si=DWQ5FJLvwd3aUcnp SION : a little background about SION, SION is South Korean-German, and was originally on The Voice Germany and performed as Sion Jung around 5 years ago (you can see his performances I believe up till semi-finals if you search sion the voice germany!) DVWN: (pronounced as Dawn , he's changed his artist name a couple of times before settling to his current version of Dawn, as a more mainstream / popular artist changed their solo name and it was too similar, so things were getting mixed aka he was getting less traction, unfortunately.) He's a singer songwriter, and has written quite a number of songs for a number of popular groups, but his voice has always been so unique and comforting to listen to to me. DVWN- Last https://youtu.be/Wvw-gCt5tQY?si=KfWzYUKcovgq4aqj DVWN & SOLE = Stuck With You (Cover) https://youtu.be/roKHeXxycIk?si=sYqU56vbhBcYO8zb DVWN - Painkiller (Cover) https://youtu.be/D4a4LmAuX84?si=yDVVFXg1boFD2dIr GAHO : GAHO is someone that people who love kdramas would find familiar, especially if they watched Itaewon Class. However, rather than his more popular mainstream songs, I thought I'd recommend some of his works before he became a bigger hit. GAHO - Heaven https://youtu.be/Qb3s_bldDSc?si=cHygHyAj3b0gcoms ( I recommended this song for a reaction, because of the lyrics and how it speaks to grief and loss, like a last parting words and wishes of someone who has already gone to heaven before you) JUNE ft. GAHO , Moti, Jeong Jinwoo- Beautiful https://youtu.be/TzFZESllzUY?si=7X6NKFXVlt_c3b7w GAHO ft Villain - Then https://youtu.be/TJMUeFY_E2I?si=kFqhhzqEQKgzM2ok Even if this doesn't get reacted to (or only some get reacted to), here's to hoping that I've at least introduced everyone here some of these lesser known artists that I've deeply enjoyed!
Itzy - Thats a No No Since its going so insanly viral right now I thought I would put it here aswell https://youtu.be/Geh1ZEjkaeM?is=eJNuuF37YhxuvLWO
This is a performance by ATEEZ of their song Wonderland and samples Dvorak's New World. It was made specifically for a show where they competed against various other groups including Stray Kids and BTOB. This is also the same show with the performance of Love Poem that you reacted to! A lot of fun stuff in here! https://youtu.be/-uDitNeFO-I?si=pdopnyl8EKnuym8j If you'd like to listen to the original song: https://youtu.be/Z_BhMhZpAug?si=ocIluz8WhX8RgjrC
I’m going to suggest some older songs: Vixx Eternity: https://youtu.be/cIfoNcm8Psw?si=sfVhI9iw_N0X4Dhp Kim Jaejoong Mine: https://youtu.be/GYgTJ9D4Rgg?si=S0lflWkcuJac-QPM EXO-K Mama: (this was an inspiration for Your Idol from Kpop demon hunters.) https://youtu.be/KH6ZwnqZ7Wo?si=QJeuq3McwgSZy3I7
Song Sohee, a Korean Singer Songwriter who sings wonderful Korean traditionals in a modern way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXgFtumJDBc&list=RDTXgFtumJDBc&start_radio=1 . She deserves attention.
The new Blackpink EP Deadline, especially the song Champion that was co-written by EJAE. You can hear that very well in the hook melody https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgOGYHPoPsE&list=RDPgOGYHPoPsE&start_radio=1 .
PLAVE Killing Voice https://youtu.be/LDemgZcBj7o?si=NSWn5yTrx7lZb__u PLAVE is a virtual k-pop group comprised of 3 real life music producers and 2 real life choreographers. They appear to us as digital models based on motion capture of the actual (human) members. The Killing Voice shows these virtual members set against the usual KV Backdrop. From left to right are Yejun, Bamby, Hamin, Noah, Eunho. They have diverse vocals across many music genres.
Woodz Archive.1 album review. I know I mentioned Cinema earlier, and that was a pre-release but is also on the album. As usual with Woodz, it's best to listen to the album in order of songs. There is a reason why he chose this order. Also, I heard a few days ago he originally wanted 20 songs, so 17 is lightwork 😂🧡💙 Playlist link, but it's also on streaming platforms: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_knuo8nEEvS5tEDcgbx0pgl5X_DtkVY3bk&si=qyMJoTzz5rJ_CHsT
I actually came here specifically to ask how you’d feel about this: https://youtu.be/8EZZvgLncFk?si=knYfg00O2JTPQYij We’d get the title, the pre-release, & another song, and Tim gets a live session!
StrayKids "DO IT" Recording scenes. I know it was mentioned in the KPOP Chat, but I don't see it here. I just listened to it and I think it would be great to watch and get professional opinions on. I feel like this shows them having TONS of fun, trying each other parts, and we get some harmony recordings. Credit to Binnie in the chat for mentioning it first. https://youtu.be/o66KJX1YJ3s?is=Fjmw1wZ4xAfIaCMd
It's mentioned just a few comments down ❤️
ENHYPEN Demons Cover and any thing ENHYPEN Live from vevo studios
IVEs Rei and Liz Duo Lee mujin service
SKZ just dropped a new recording behind for Do it and Divine and since you already analyzed both songs it would be fun if you watch this one too https://youtu.be/o66KJX1YJ3s?si=_G2nd93KPl1GbRf8
Because we all may NEED more StrayKids... As mentioned on the album reaction, here are the music videos that go along with several of the songs from KARMA. Adding them here in the March Requests area so they’re easy to find if you decide to check them out! INTRO VIDEO (just talking): https://youtu.be/owOGZAqFkRo?si=T1EKZraAH--JyV9r ALBUM RECORDING (already requested below): https://youtu.be/h1li3NlTB0I?si=zPsdukMO9d8bDhah BLEEP: https://youtu.be/qS7OsvKqojg?si=61b96VxR9j2Vl8X6 CREED: https://youtu.be/y-rPpGpnSg0?si=OkKMjIfNMFJEmQOr 0801 (Street Ver.): https://youtu.be/ciRftriyejM?si=iCZAC6FrDZMcvvAk
Taeyeon killing voice pleaseee https://youtu.be/5ch94AaPZRQ?si=1lMvFOrUaOs7j3Wl and shinee excuse me miss live https://youtu.be/T0MAL3hVwoE?si=f_olMpiApidA_XpH
i also suggested taeyeon - invu :)
EXO “Back It Up” Recording Behind the Scenes (Just uploaded yesterday) https://youtu.be/N3wXFs1NWQo?si=Tv_H2eVACW2gU2pQ I think it showcases EXO’s diverse tones and vocal abilities/techniques pretty well.
How about the Intro + recording to all STRAY KIDS' albums. We can do it one album at a time.
Yess I think Tim would find the Intros super interesting!
Han solo - Hold my Hand (Live?) More Han as you wished😂 I think we intened to do more of the Hop Solos anyways and thats a great one!! https://youtu.be/DzBB7izZnZk?is=HNTzxZeS3F8gg7DY Edit: AlexDaBoi also shared a really good live version that would be fun aswell
https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1_eDew7Ji5TH_yHZu-yTJaWojeUYBRHzThDWjE38WmWs/mobilebasic
i once again need your support guys: let him listen to taeyeon - INVU i beg you guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbZH7XWDW_k she also has a ton of nice content to follow up on if you like this one
IVE Killing voice
I posted it further down below already. Please scroll down and leave a heart/like so we get the count up! Thanks! (March 5th at 6 ♥️)
I also want to recommend xikers! They're from the same company as Ateez! my favoirite title track is witch so I'd love a reaction! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se6lN0a4-28&list=RDSe6lN0a4-28&start_radio=1
we have more reveluvs now and I saw requests for TVXQ in the previous months, and in Killing Voice there was talk of Irene's vocals, so I thought that an interesting response could be TVXQ - Wrong Number https://youtu.be/j8-cOkJeLyM?list=RDj8-cOkJeLyM and a cover by Irene and Seulgi https://youtu.be/GLpvdWXQ2o4
Red Velvet Feel-My Rhythm - Deep Dive. This song samples Bach's "Air on G String.", music video has many references to famous paintings, especially H. Bosch's "The Garden of Earthly Delights," and tells the story of the transition from winter to spring (the music video was released on the March equinox, which is also Bach's birthday). The perfect song to showcase their combined Red and Velvet concept. MV https://youtu.be/R9At2ICm4LQ?list=RDR9At2ICm4LQ Recording Behind https://youtu.be/ekAlRHP4F9E
Yes please~ one of my favorites ❤️
I REALLy want to mention straykids skzplayer and record songs which some of them were also performed by them on 2KIdsShow so i really hope tim could check those out too! My favourite ones are prob want so bad (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqx8kAauMA8&list=RDtqx8kAauMA8&start_radio=1)and the two songs han and seungmin did (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udpt9Xr_Xf8&list=RDudpt9Xr_Xf8&start_radio=1) volcano in general is a song i would really love to see a reaction to!
I would love a song analysis of the performance from YB and SEUNGMIN at Gayo Daejejeon 2025 https://youtu.be/0hIjJLWzkVk?si=098c9ZaAUH3KsT5x YB is a K-rock band from the late 90' and they invited Seungmin to sing with them at an end of the year show. Seungmin was really excited and nervous! They did two of YB songs, first Stormborn only YB and then Peppermint Candy with Seungmin. The vocals are amazing!!
https://youtu.be/lbEvYkxSxnQ?si=R__ltG9w-gRfaIZR Hi, I want to recommend Enhypen - The Sin: Vanish Album Production Story/Behind pt. 2! There's a part 1 to this, but part 2 has some behind on the individual members doing their own remixes to their title track too, so it's even more fun ^^
Xdinary Heroes They are JYP K-Band, I think you'd really enjoy the their sound! Specifically their main two singers, the bassist (Jooyeon) and their keyboardist (Jungsu). Jooyeon has one of my favorite voices in all Kpop I'd reccomend giving their live clips or live stages a listen XYMPHONY - https://youtu.be/ittWjMW6E7w?si=JhOKhShYZkWp_oPz FIRE (My Sweet Misery) - https://youtu.be/ROtw1Wpu3CQ?si=DDZaj-zNVMNkNVmJ Money On My Mind - https://youtu.be/3xMBueotrAU?si=J0-M0DwSnOEgooFB These are some of my favorites of theirs, but any live, mv, or performances of theirs are always amazing!!
ENHYPEN Both Jake and Heeseung have appeared on Lee Mujin Service. And both were amazing!! I think both appearances are worth watching, but if you can only pick one to start with then I would suggest Jake's since he's my bias. Jake - https://youtu.be/310BeJgswro?si=jkpDjfEIUI8jK5Ld Heeseung - https://youtu.be/NPWxSUk5000?si=r8Q9eBBDKWTaQvRf Love the vocal analyses! Thank you!
SEVENTEEN Killing Voice (+ Intro?) KV: https://youtu.be/if6_qE9NOh4?si=emumTk9Yof2ENiCi It's hard to introduce you to 13 members without melting your brain. I think it might be best to give you very basic info (just faces labeled with names & positions) and have you watch the KV.
For anyone wondering: I think the next step would be to show him the Rolling Stone: In My Room performance (link below) & give him more info about the members once they're broken down by unit! https://youtu.be/qFcsPXQWN6U?si=atscbM_WXjCeEJhZ
Jay from Enhypen did a collaboration with Yuuri on “Dry Flower” that’s amazing. https://youtu.be/v6jLJtIl_HM?si=K-CNmkIjab7QRnPO The last note with their voices together has a sound that I really don’t know how to describe. Would love your thoughts.
Since I joined to be the 3rd gen pre-girlcrush ambassador......GFRIEND. The first time listening to GFRIEND is always a trip given the raised 4th anime chord structre, the key changes, the string counterpoint, the random electric wailing guitars, and the super synchronized choreo from that era GFRIEND-'ROUGH' https://youtu.be/r_6q_-d-7Sk?si=DUdKJu4rek3cwoor *fun little tidbit, even though the english title is Rough, in korean the title means 'running through time'
Red Velvet - Cosmic MV and on It's live.
MV: https://youtu.be/FyG21rXCxlY?si=FXJ8yWIkm87m3lrq It's live: https://youtu.be/ycZ0sHLLEJA?si=Tm_YLoF0cWWIT3sB
Please more BTS before the comeback. Proof Live: https://youtu.be/iP62Tg04vww?si=B77DPlB_wb6zus5
I have the Festa Room live down below as well :)
Only to see the reaction when he sees the number of members (but also bc they're my favorite current group if my pfp didn't give it away) TripleS-'Girls Never Die' https://youtu.be/2tda_TCjz8w?si=99J327T9FdErhPFg
Hwasa “Good Goodbye” Record Delivery (at home) https://youtu.be/1dcMTWULN28?si=ea65NG2vywjqBZKr
I just add the IVE Killing Voice. https://youtu.be/nz4lquCTsuw?si=7X4Ka4FUfdzDUzOq IVE just released their second full album Revive+. The pre-release 'Bang Bang' gave them their 78th music show win and 6th Perfect All Kill this week!
How about some other Stray Kids Japanese releases: Circus, https://youtu.be/jW-bkbSWb4A?si=_uq5byfHKgnM-gCE (lyrics https://youtu.be/3wzsC_IU67w?si=jixbhfwrOgN0Olm7); The Sound, https://youtu.be/ivijoIfhl0o?si=0QRB_PmFwfngcw9Z (lyrics https://youtu.be/45G7dhV1AZQ?si=cZM01NhJ5RJY5ckQ); or Aiwokuretanoninaze, https://youtu.be/BLfrPSSO_YI?si=ASOcqQ65krgHy2dW (lyrics https://youtu.be/G08MhPw-nWg?si=TKfzxHXdxtQcVvzY)
I think Tim would enjoy Circus! I've been listening to it again recently, and it's just fun... crazy fun!
I'm recommending this solo performance by Jongho from Ateez once again, since you were surprised by his vocals, and I'd really like an deep dive reaction/analysis <3 https://youtu.be/dyWNvMxaSIk?si=UBlKkW0P5eSZPWr8
Please check out New World by Ateez! I think you will enjoy it Lyrics: https://youtu.be/r-DFHakqDCg?si=wRHpw8l_u9u4zj6C Live: https://youtu.be/gcmMzxNLFUY?si=hAhLTYsxahDiOB9m
I'd humbly like to request a new solo artist to you, Tim! His name is "KANGDANIEL," (admittedly I have seen his name spelled as all one word and two words, so I am not sure which is right). I have included a guide for you but it's from 2022 so it might be a little dated. "A 2022 Helpful Guide to Kang Daniel" - http://youtube.com/watch?v=6v81l7Vmxmg I am also including one of my personal favorite songs by him, "Antidote," where he sings about the struggles he has with depression and anxiety. I have included a "live" version as well as English lyrics. "Antidote" Live - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7utqrPC090c "Antidote" Lyrics - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTtzBd2DMpU
StrayKids recently posted a video of them recording the karma album. https://youtu.be/h1li3NlTB0I?si=5iBIzfq8DEcTcPJm
Came here to comment this! I think you (Tim) will also find this interesting because it shows more of 3Racha working together in the studio. And it's a fun video showing their personalities a bit better, too!
RM 'Wild Flower (with youjeen)' https://youtu.be/u18be_kRmC0?si=Y5saTOgb2Ev5QQkm This is a solo track from RM (of BTS) from his album Indigo. He collaborated with Youjeen, a well known Korean rock singer and her voice is amazing on this track. The music video is gorgeous and has the official lyric translations as well if you turn on captions!
Love this song, even though the English wordplay is a little awkward
BTS Room Live for Festa 2021 https://youtu.be/RRhjdYsNwAk?si=51WPkohs5C3T2j7k Putting this one out here again! It’s a 10-minute performance of some of their b-sides. A bit similar to a Killing Voice, but as a medley with one song from each of their albums at the time, going from the oldest to most recent. Super fun performance, especially to get an idea of how they interact and ad lib on stage. There are English subs for all the song lyrics as well if you turn on captions.
TWICE - I Can’t Stop Me “I Can’t Stop Me” is peak retro synth-pop, those driving basslines and the neon aesthetic are chef’s kiss. The vocals really shine too, especially in the chorus where it just lifts. They’re also the group behind Strategy, and one of their sub-units performed Takedown in K-pop Demon Hunters. I think you’d really enjoy this one! ✨ https://youtu.be/CM4CkVFmTds?si=0ONw_buRxrnAP4UI
and then what the heck I'll put the ODDINARY main trailer up again, I think people were interested (if not you can all tell me to eff off, its fine). Paraphrasing my intro from last time: this is NOT music and would be suited for a very quick take. It's a cinematic trailer introducing the ODDINARY album (which included songs like MAINAC, VENOM, Charmer, Freeze, etc). They have a lot of trailers like this for different albums but this one changed my life. I'm really just interested in what you get from the meaning / story of the trailer and if you agree that Stray Kids should star in a Netflix Original psychological thriller series 😂 https://youtu.be/qaaywl-6H4o?si=UZEkUTgiHxlPla_e
Honestly we've got a lot of really good reqs already. What I would love more than anything is to have you react to either the MANIAC Seoul or DominATE Seoul bluray/DVDs that exist. I got them both recently and they are now my most prized possessions 😂 But since they aren't available to stream anywhere, and they are difficult to acquire (you have to buy used or get them from a kpop merch importer usually), I'm coming in with a request for something big: The Stray Kids DominATE movie. EDIT: It came out (in the US) last night! Hoping it comes out for the rest of the world soon 🤞🏻 It's essentially their entire DominATE concert from SoFi Stadium in LA, with some of the stage banter trimmed out and with some 1:1 interview segments added. https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0GJMXC6Z3/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r
Let's come together and send him one of the Blu rays 😭 I would love for him to watch this. It's so so good.
The show "Lee mujin service" any episode! Lee mujin is such a good interviewer, asks great questions about the artists voice, music choices, etc. AND OFC the fact that the whole show is about taking one member of a group and letting them showcase their vocals! At the end of each episode the artist also does a duet with Lee Mujin and its always a treat :))
Also for a Quicktake this Radio performance of Thunderous😊 https://youtu.be/OL0DEbb_Ze8?si=Nns7C3kGK-OxBFO6
ATEEZ’s Jongho is incredibly talented. He’s worked so hard to learn how to sing and continues to take vocal lessons to improve himself. His vocal coach in Korea is the same as Baekhyn from EXO’s vocal coach. When he’s in LA, he always book private vocal lessons from Seth Riggs’s daughter Katie Riggs. She even offered to continue to work with him in Korea. Jongho has 2 solo songs he wrote and has done many OSTs and covers but we can start with these first. Solos- 1st- Everything MV- https://youtu.be/0FTL_zgvzAM?si=eaWfqpwRWS08L7cV Everything concert performance- https://youtu.be/lemt8fZiaHI?si=nMANixjhIHP3lY2V 2nd- To be your light MV- https://youtu.be/DElqg7XL-s4?si=MEOFPlRljCjXradt To be your light concert performance- https://youtu.be/yIqHEb2J6DE?si=KbAFPRITs-6ZUaV0 Here is amazing cover from Jongho. His vocal talent is so incredible. https://youtu.be/4RQm4MJhcC4?si=xD2EQTpujchemNWu San and Jongho did this beautiful cover of IU’s Dear Name. I wish it was on Spotify. https://youtu.be/jCWlqmwZRrM?si=T9OGeUucYhlO_Wrw Lee Mujin service is a show where guests sings a few cover songs and also talk about their inspirations, music journey, and aspirations. We have 5/8 members on the show so far. Yunho’s episode is coming out today!!! 🎉🎉 Jongho- https://youtu.be/_XfeoJCEfWc?si=JRZeRts5oNXhgVNK Hongjoong- https://youtu.be/8Egm9zI_pS8?si=j7nbYhO_9e1w75qO San- https://youtu.be/immmh3o4ijI?si=ELBP2YUzMqr5FTJR Seonghwa- https://youtu.be/qV4IizJmFas?si=gUBR7ZdI-SynWkzT Yunho- https://youtu.be/p4Q221AMiss?si=NjGzw-4X_RQFb1mv
Dear Name is such a good one! I loved that more recent reminder that Sannie was slated as Vocalist #2 right under Jongho originally, even though his spectacular dance/performance grew so much he rightly leaned into that. The Choi Bros sing so beautifully together~
For a fun little QuickTake, this Band live performance of chk chk boom is super fun https://youtu.be/2rYBB2IjNaw?si=Znlu9c4SU4puodiU
Adding to the Killing Voice reactions, Big Mama is more a vocal group than a regular kpop group. More Korean RnB/Soul I think? They first debuted in 2003, so just between 1st and 2nd gen of kpop. Disbanded in 2012, but returned in 2021. They're also called "The Singing Professors" as they all have been or currently are Professors in different Performing Arts Universities/Colleges. Their Killing Voice from 2021 is amazing! https://youtu.be/OsRogAzmsF8?si=vRrAnOry84d8xeL9
Rami, the one member from babymoster you haven't been able to hear yet, appeared on Leemujin about a year ago! While this was a while ago, she was a 16-year-old girl who was fighting a pneumothorax (collapsed lung), and YET she still killed these songs. Seriously, 6 years of being a trainee really paid off! In my opionoin one of the best voices out there! While this whole video is worth watching I'd specifically recomend her cover of Bloodsucker, and of Forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7HM5zTDG0Y
Leaving this here again. I would love to see your analysis for ATEEZ’s Wonderland. There are two versions. The first release from 2019. There’s a music video. Then there’s Wonderland Symphony no.9 (2021) that they performed on Kingdom. I’d love to see your reaction for their performance Kingdom and their most recent performance at SBS Gayo Daejeon. If there’s any vocal improvement from 2021 to 2025 for a specific part and analyze his vocal techniques. You’ll know what I’m referring to when you see it. I don’t want to spoil it. 😄 Wonderland MV- https://youtu.be/Z_BhMhZpAug?si=RmVyo-JOO3kWT7Ge Wonderland Symphony No.9 Kingdom version- https://youtu.be/-uDitNeFO-I?si=EgxgthmIzsjmh1Wi Wonderland Symphony No. 9 concert version- https://youtu.be/G_teYoaBWGE?si=JxHIBdZ2GFXL1df3 Wonderland Symphony No.9 SBS Gayo Daejeon 2025 (end of the year music show performance)- https://youtu.be/Ap02_Z7CK6o?si=YTdZw8vzoxpM6-Jd
Haven't heard any update about him watching Kingdom: Legendary War, even though it had a lot of likes!! But do I think it would be great for him to hear the original/MV version FIRST regardless.
Rather than recommend aespa for an 8th time I'll just recommend solo work by them cuz they are all individually insane!! Winter's voice oh my gosh! I have no words to describe how her vocal definition and control make me melt. I could give a whole list of just her songs! But her Cover of Confetti is such an amazing piece https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNU4n-vGTgo NingNing's Solo Bored was one of my first aespa favs and it just has so much detail and popflips and high notes and just such an amazing song Lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AN0NjfXaiE Studio session: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um7vx4gv6AE (15:20-end --- first half is Karina's solo) Karina, I could also leave a long list just for her, but her cover of I Choose You on Leemujin Service is such a banger, and she has so much fun doing it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ9sgHCrJZw (10:04-12:36) AHHH I haven't gotten to Gisselle LOL I'll save her for later (she also does more rap and hasn't appeared on Leemujin yet :( ...)
District 9 (old MV + Dominate performance) Somebody said its time for some old Straykids and I agree! So why not go for their Debut song District 9. This is the original MV https://youtu.be/u6unJQownW4?si=7cgQ7q9g3rw5y3-L This is a great live from their recent Tour https://youtu.be/GahnYn9lOTo?si=3AbfyjO6AMOABttG
Truman - Felix and Hand We should definatly do more of the duo songs! https://youtu.be/diMyNjWyDW8?si=HACAHNlP3zIgLnif
id loooove to see you do a deep dive with DAY6 Killing Voice! they are a band under JYPE (same company as Stray Kids and NMIXX) They've got 3 main powerhouse vocalists, each so uniquely tonally different from each other LORE!: They're the first band to come from JYPE (paraphrasing here but) it's been said that the band was created because the members weren't the most skilled in dance in the sense to be in a traditional kpop group, but JYPE didn't want to miss out on debuting such skilled and talented voices so they put them in a band together instead. Since their beginning they've created and written all their own music, and sort of had a grand underdog story, where only in their like 8th year after debut they blew up and like 3 of their songs including their debut song topped the charts domestically in south korea for a long while https://youtu.be/OvIk6BDkVE4?si=xJF0iZylnVtppa7N (no subtitles just good music and vibes :) Keyboard: Wonpil Leader/Guitar: Sungjin Bass: Young K Maknae/Drums: Dowoon
Karma full album reaction Super excited to recommand this. Karma won a crazy amount of big Kpop awards for best Album of 2025 so I think that alone justifices a full Album reaction🫣😂 It has so many bangers but also a lot of variety!! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mWWBROogQ5c66U4EBLBwtS-MabO5atW9E&si=kCDPEePx3LBOREFv
Yessss please!!!
Rain's Switch to Me with JYP https://youtu.be/-Bf_BB9iTNI?si=7sc4jeZ6y7h8SgDn
Also again requesting long form BTS Yet to Come concert streaming on Amazon. One of the best filming for a concert recording I’ve ever seen. It really feels like you’re there, but sound quality isn’t compromised at all
Really hoping for this one! It has captions for all song lyrics and comments as well, and the setlist is a great journey through their discography
Dreamcatcher - 'Jazz Bar' https://youtu.be/El51Srq208A?si=CbUMbwk6PXDbE2Mw This is the live performance on arirang radio. Just to hear Dami's singing voice it is worthwhile. We know her as the fierce rapper, but her singing voice, especially in the bridge, is angelic! BTW Handong is missing, because at the same time she participated in the Chinese survival show Youth With You 2.
Bleep - Straykids (song Analysis or Deep Dive) I would be super interested in what you have to say about this song so I just had to carry it over again😆 https://youtu.be/qS7OsvKqojg?si=sh0DaGnDy-2hIs2O
I would LOVE for you to react to SKZ guest appearances on LeeMujin Service. It's a music talk show hosted by Lee Mujin which is an amazing singer song writer as well. Here the kids showcase different ranges of vocals in a very stripped down, minimalistic acoustic setting, talk a little bit and also sing a duet with Lee Mujin himself. I think it's a really nice format and it helps you get to know the kids better and they show some amazing vocals every time. Here's a link to Han's episode: https://youtu.be/OE9BfiiMSrU?si=uNp9SczBMm5vj9KG So far other than Han only Seungmin, Lee know and I.N have participated, but they all did all amazingly well, as expected. I think you will really enjoy this.🩷 Update: Ok playlist link from the comments! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3ZmZaurttDQQ_4pWeluupT12FWgfs4js&si=ViZaXQfFd0ZiPjQn It's the first 4. The rest are just the snippets from each episode. Hope this makes it easier 🙏🩷
Yes! To all 4 episodes of Lee Mujin Service with Skz! ❤️
Definitely gotta check out "Dune" by ATEEZ! I really think you'll enjoy the harmonies in this one! 😉 There's no music video for it, but here's the colour lyrics video: https://youtu.be/C8c2R51iqhg?si=npfhNaBL7Mjf92Uw
ATEEZ I would like to recommened Ice on my teeth by ATEEZ again because it is simply an amazing song. Here is their MV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OflOlcHLb8&list=RD5OflOlcHLb8&start_radio=1 Here is live performance of this song, which also has an intro that the original track does not have, and it is one of their most iconic performances: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5uwDZGgX7E&list=RDY5uwDZGgX7E&start_radio=1 And if you would like to, here is the instrumental of the song, it is simple yet genius: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xotApBlgHns&list=RDxotApBlgHns&start_radio=1
Yes!!
Requesting Jimin's Serendipity again https://youtu.be/BEMaH9Sm3lQ?si=jINhMvKU4w4JAZhe
Requesting Kim Jong Kook's Killing Voice again. Please let me know when this gets close and I will make an intro video for him! https://youtu.be/w6GphHYhFjc?si=7Y_TwZzY__fcHcj2
Spring Day by BTS. This music video has so many references packed into it as does the song. It’s deeply meaningful and I’ll post a second link to a breakdown of what’s in the music video. Keep in mind that much of it is theory and has not been officially confirmed https://youtu.be/xEeFrLSkMm8?si=9vOCm4RQGJco3EMG MV explained video https://youtu.be/Tye1ONFeKis?si=0iOTP-WtQ3NA54Dk
Woodz - Cinema (the pre-release single for his upcoming album). Official MV: https://youtu.be/b60RXXBik1w?si=_f22dKtnlZcNhGNe Concert live: https://youtu.be/N_eqwatYCv0?si=kcwxMWSLZtCdNWVt Studio live: https://youtu.be/vyXP4RbCxhw?si=nDZ9jnSk7OJctXIX Radio live: https://youtu.be/5R0ERyGBTi0?si=DAKPxUpZN0vOtfHv
I *do* want Tim to hear Cinema so badly, but I really want him to hear Woodz's variety! Drowning, I'll Never Love Again, and Cinema are all the same style of music, while his b-sides to each have been so different! I'll wait until the album comes out (in 55 hours!!) to recommend anything else specifically, though.
i-dle - 'HWAA' https://youtu.be/z3szNvgQxHo?si=LAXEEkhCtfmNO2XF Last official release as a six member group.
I LOVE this song!
A throwback, No More Dream by BTS. This was their debut song back in 2013 when their concept was heavy rap hip hop. Jungkook as the youngest was 15, Jin the oldest was 20. Very low budget and the music video is a bit cringe, but it’s fun the see how far they’ve come https://youtu.be/rBG5L7UsUxA?si=DiBRCfu_N08TeN4U
BTS rap line Outro: Tear. A powerhouse song with a very emotional story. It was written about their feelings of fear and being torn apart during a time of hardship when they considered disbanding https://youtu.be/UDuaJGYe8EQ?si=PV5v9dT80v3f6a6K
For Oh My Girl.....to really showcase their vocal talent (and just SUPER interesting chord progressions) Oh My Girl-'Classified' https://youtu.be/VPg-HtAUeRQ?si=Dhjo4hO_499Bn2ve
PSY who first brought K-Pop into the mainstream zeitgeist with Gangnam Style did a collaboration with Suga of BTS called That That https://youtu.be/8dJyRm2jJ-U?si=GS_4hIFiBZhTQ_qr
Genuine banger this song was stuck in my head for so long
T.B.H by QWER i dont think you've listened to them before? but this is Kpop group that has members play instruments as well Guitar/Bass/Drums and Siyeon is their vocalist. Their name QWER comes from League of Legends because the girls were streamers/ content creators of some kind before. this link actually has 2 songs but the first is TBH. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QonXUELzeRw&list=PLWLbB12SGFIMkMvtAHKh5AoErRZed_YES&index=2
he would enjoy their journey so much!
Again recommending Mic Drop from BTS. There is a full Korean version, but the more well known one which is the one that plays in the music video is half English and a collaboration with Steve Aoki. This is the introduction a lot of people get to BTS https://youtu.be/kTlv5_Bs8aw?si=RKGY3jtEYQv24Qi6
Another Skz recording bts. This one has Item and Topline, both songs you enjoyed during the concert reaction https://youtu.be/9odkgNeDJm4?si=dowVclguZNPmSbEF
Also by Jin of BTS, Super Tuna. The man made an absolutely ridiculously catchy song about his love for fishing. The original song was only one verse and the chorus, but it got so popular he made a second verse after returning from the military https://youtu.be/ArHGiOxYwHM?si=QOeFBXP9OcPLC9ns
Side Effects - Straykids https://youtu.be/qJXCbv9xscI?si=jSaGOhjlk9idnO7Z think its time for some old straykids!! It put the dance performance Video instead of the music video because I personly think that the choreography is amazing and you can see pretty well whos singing!!
I know I am late, but it has been on my mind since I saw this suggestion. Side Effects sits right in the middle of the Clé series. I would suggest starting with Miroh, then Side Effects and to finish off with Double Knot. I see a definite progression in these three songs. Just my two cents...
The Astronaut by Jin of BTS. A solo song done in collaboration with Coldplay. It was his farewell song before starting his military service https://youtu.be/c6ASQOwKkhk?si=ZJNVlaKtLaRCtxrh
Another favorite of mine from Agust D is Snooze featuring Woosung from The Rose and instrumental from Ryuichi Sakamoto, a famous Japanese artist and composer. It’s a very different style from Agust D or Daechwita https://youtu.be/okfdIIUQOik?si=zPvOpoy1PefxIDan
STRAY KIDS - 'The Tortoise and the Hare' https://youtu.be/0RNL1oQrUYY?si=4xQ8Lhy0aeQo7Mex Again trying for this but I think youre going to find this fun. This is truly one of their most experimental songs. It really wasnt written for commerical succsess but was just them having a good time producing something weird.
aespa - 'Thirsty' https://youtu.be/WJMBzYraE7I?si=UDZImQDkvH2c9b5I The song is quite different compared to aespa's title tracks, but the R&B style b-side helps showcasing their vocals. I love especially Karina's ad-libs at the end of the song. Unfortunately we hardly hear her sing like that in the title tracks. There is no full length MV so I recommend the it's live version (first part).
You reacted to Agust D by Agust D, but I still think you’d really enjoy Daechwita. It’s so unique with the traditional instruments https://youtu.be/qGjAWJ2zWWI?si=N1G13nn111j0A4XY
Skz - Bounce Back This is a song that was mostly written by Han and his Rap here is absolutly amazing. There is no MV so I put the color coded lyrics. https://youtu.be/DEIhaHvW_JE?si=ZfrmyROnarS_jCy8
Since Tim also seems to like context for songs - I wanted to add that this song was written in response to racist / extremely disrespectful comments made by photographers at the Met Gala when they first went together in 2024 (the first full kpop group to attend, if I have my facts right). It's a diss track through and through. Though I don't think they have straight up said "the Met Gala is why we wrote the song", it features the clap that Bang Chan did to disengage from the photographers and the timing is right. I think it was mentioned in the HOP Intro video that Bounce Back was originally much more aggro and the Company asked them to tone it down with "younger audiences" in mind.
Suggesting Babymonster "Stuck in the Middle" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsV1i0QHi-o you've listened to 2 or 3 of their songs before and asked if they had a more ballad type track and this is one of them :D note: this video features 6 of their members since Ahyeon was on hiatus at the time but there is also a 7 member version.
you said this was the place to do it.....I hope there are other 3rd gen fairy concept fans out there! If not but you enjoy incredibly honed vocal skills across an ENTIRE group please give them a chance! Oh My Girl https://youtu.be/a-O02JzD3us?si=8u8DVy-6AefOHg4o
Maybe also suggest a single song for a quick take.
