Stray Kids - Chris, Seungmin, & I.N. cover “I’ll Try” by Day6 https://youtu.be/h7JGwRCpzNc?si=mDfGCWjBi7aKDXr0 This is a live performance and it is truly stunning. Hope to see you check it out.
Stray Kids - Conodoll Karaoke (part 1 and 2 both please) Part 1: https://youtu.be/4ri78XWlACQ?si=ncFCoWqPOmQ0wabA Part 2: https://youtu.be/4GTrpvm_ztQ?si=CuS-cqeMbMGFmhFW This karaoke they did is amazing to see how talented they are even when playing around. I think you will be surprised by a lot in this, particularly Changbin. They challenge themselves by repeatedly attempting female songs in the original female key, among other things. This is one of my favorite bits of content from Stray Kids and I rewatch it often. Chris’ duets with Changbin and Felix are my favorite. The parts are around 11 minutes each, and really need to be reacted to both in one video, please.
Stray Kids - Rockstar Recording Scene (LaLaLaLa & Leave) https://youtu.be/0lT_rA5wCmM?si=rEePNz2FB0ztGM2w
aespa - lemonade (album) https://youtu.be/83C3TZ4Zm_o?list=OLAK5uy_lVGpH4YV73G70F6AtrK7bSThOn0zV0OVc
Forestella "MAMA" (by EXO) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJJUG0vM1Co https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJJUG0vM1Co Very successful reinterpretation of a K-Pop classic – proving that Forestella's K-crossover is a rising genre (with the right know-how). Even die-hard EXO fans were quite impressed by Forestella's version!
Hyunjin (Stray Kids)- Dance Covers https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmWyN_EbtX4IKO1ogmkSWiDgemu27SZZG&si=BFoevTlUgn-BrJhP Hyunjin has some various dance covers that he has done over the last 6 years that are really worth a watch. I've made a playlist for easy viewing. It includes the following: When the Party's Over, Play With Fire, Artist of the Month-Motley Crew, AOM behind the scenes, Yeji (Itzy) + Hyunjin-River + Play With Fire. I hope you give these a watch! *I can break them out into separate requests if needed, but thought they would make a fun video all together. *
Seongwha, Yeosang, and Wooyoung (Ateez)- Money cover (originally by Lisa from Blackpink) https://youtu.be/5b5G8l21sUM?si=A595DNVmwrwJKoDi It would be fun for you to watch the original music video and this Ateez cover! Such a fun song, and the boys look like they had a lot of fun covering it. : )
Han (Stray Kids) - Deep dive (Back to life, Ranking stars, Volcano, can't love, Truman, I got it) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIBiMdSyh8nVGIh--2pVQkQ6wR7xThGP_&si=s7BRVswbbh8Kg3ot I think it would be cool to do a little Han deep dive especially since he just recently released two new songs (one solo, one feature) I just put them in a Playlist hope thats fine :)
Jiung (P1harmony) - ‘I'm Sorry’(CNBLUE) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsmc76k6Sy4 Another member of P1Harmony that is underrated. Such a good performance.
Theo (P1Harmony) - Twenty Five, Twenty One https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQgJBbJYb84 I'm not sure if you've ever listened to this group before but his voice is one of my favorites in kpop and is severely underrated.
Song Sohee - "But A Dream". She mixes traditional Korean singing (not sure what it's called) and modern and it's beautiful and so interesting!
ATEEZ - Bouncy (K-HOT CHILLI PEPPERS) https://youtu.be/U0G5OA6ZH5w?si=5Xexu2uyHfUGQCEr
ATEEZ - Ice On My Teeth https://youtu.be/5OflOlcHLb8?si=lucii_sKZfQt8X5k
ATEEZ - Ash (Japanese Album song) https://youtu.be/cRFWo5vWrcw?si=5XzVrB97s-4dtryr
ATEEZ - 'NASA' Performance Video https://youtu.be/tVJBWoof09Q?si=wTEWI3c7UWrMk0io
You wanted to learned more about BTOB -Sungjae and his voice… https://youtu.be/4YHDorf7Wss?si=VAe6kqr5Z4C72hqM. He is my bias in BTOB other than singing he is an amazing actor.
Forestella - LOL - Legends Never Die https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f95exoC4Xxs Because LOL is currently trending—and Forestella's incredibly powerful performance is definitely one of the best versions!—it's among their best performances!
Btob - Seo Eunkwang covering The Man for immortal songs https://youtu.be/hK8WIrG5OJo?si=zzyrUODq6T0YXmtt
BTOB-BLUE - When It Rains [2018 BTOB TIME CONCERT : THIS IS US] Live Recommend to watch the edited version (shows the members during their parts) : https://youtu.be/TBmb6Zt8R9s?si=icf3Skls9W7eGW_d (The song starts at 1:27 but before that was some edits of their concert included all 7 members you can watch along too) This is the concert version : https://youtu.be/8xdL9U1bDAo?si=ctOATlOhQKNLsdzt The phenomenal VOCAL UNIT of BTOB! King of vocals, nothing more to say. The performance itself proves everything.
BTOB - Wind And Wish Choreography Practice Video https://youtu.be/ozs4s4RiCHw?si=qaD5VTytRXdniYPu BTOB's dance practice videos highlight both their impressive live singing skills on the move and their signature sense of humor.
BTOB - 'Wind and Wish' Recording Day https://youtu.be/hg6azMe-aSA?si=_rhe7DBYG5ivCMuU It captures the members of BTOB passionately working in the recording studio for 'Wind And Wish', the title track of their 12th mini-album. Each member records while bringing out their unique individuality, and they exchange feedback with one another to perfect the song.
KANG DANIEL - Antidote https://youtu.be/7utqrPC090c?si=1sQz7cCU2pt75fuz Repost from April. This is a live performance, and I find Kang Daniel's voice unique and would love to hear you break it down! (Very late because I've been on vacation).
BTOB- when it rains https://youtu.be/8xdL9U1bDAo?si=-UM9JVOYpriQ0uXh
Sungjae-lie https://youtu.be/4YHDorf7Wss?si=WMzfuhdLZbiX5WYN
Sungjae -beautiful thing https://youtu.be/_VRH7CJGk4k?si=BduCkZL1FiVZ5Ei6
Day 6 — Killing Voice https://youtu.be/OvIk6BDkVE4?si=ODEnQaDaKjzYPHC5 K-band, top vocalists, each very unique. One of the most watched killing voice videos on youtube, and they also play the instruments live on it!
Mystery Duets - BTOB's Lee Changsub & Ali https://youtu.be/meJIrlx9NvY?si=fw_CMLrX2IKDzpNx Ali was one of Changsub's professors when he was studying in Applied Music at Howon University. This is a programme that famous singers and celebrities perform a duet without knowing with whom they will share the stage. They sing the song without knowing who is the other celebrity singing alongside. It is only in the middle of the song that they discover each other’s identity as the screen between them rises.
I love when they sing Ali's song called '365 days' afterwards on that show too. The lyrics of the song is like a storyline of heartbreak and healing. It's bittersweet.
BTOB Hyunsik's LIVE compilation in 8 minutes https://youtu.be/731uJyz_lZ8?si=eS_6YGlBWk9U_AOz This is a live clip of Hyunsik, the deep-voiced member of BTOB, performing covers on his live show.
BTOB Guide https://youtube.com/watch?v=MVQWhTWVf6g&si=Pz48FjHihJmvgz8N They really go in depth about the team and each members 🩵🩵🩵
BTOB Changsub - Lee Mujin Service https://youtube.com/watch?v=BftEM5H4zxw&si=b7jH68RmFtEIVvBx He covers a lot of songs in here and I love every single one of it 🩵🩵🩵 Lee Mujin even did a collab with Changsub afterwards (Lee Mujin composed the song for Changsub's recent title song 'Trickle Down')
BTOB - Encore:Outro https://youtube.com/watch?v=98Vui02m6xQ&si=MgnVFObqzSexpZ5z Composed and written by Hyunsik. This is from their concert and it is AMAZING!! 🩵🩵🩵 (P/s: There's a part where Sungjae sings his part a bit earlier than he should 🤣)
BTOB Seo Eunkwang - Golden (cover) https://youtu.be/S4jSBQ8oMbA?is=r2x698fASi4poA_i Eunkwang’s vocals are insane — this is just one of the examples. He just makes it sound easy.
BTOB - Finale (Our Concert) https://youtu.be/29-6omfn-bE?is=1WYzZJJq6e1TphMA Such a powerful, emotional track—BTOB at their most dramatic and vocal-heavy. The harmonies are amazing. 🥹
BTOB - We Together https://youtu.be/lUJ3JEAp-II?is=4AHuFx5ltoJitvKR Their newest song, released to celebrate their 14th anniversary 💜
BTOB - Wind and Wish https://youtu.be/zXOoza3sxiw?is=Dy6a0FWT4gLL4_6G There was just a small teaser of it in their Killing Voice, but it would be worth listening to the full song! As Tim just did a BTOB Killing Voice reaction I’ll take this opportunity to drop a few recommendations :)
aespa - 'Flowers' Live Clipㅣ2025 aespa LIVE TOUR 'SYNK : PARALLEL LINE ENCORE https://youtu.be/GaYur1ULHuM?list=RDGaYur1ULHuM
Giselle - Keep Goin https://youtu.be/StEJqDlS4Z8?list=RDStEJqDlS4Z8 I'm not sure if Japanese songs by K-pop idols should be included here, as I wanted to include one solo song from each aespa member. As for Giselle, I think the song that best showcases her vocals is "Keep Going," but it's in Japanese. Giselle is half Japanese and half Korean. She wrote the lyrics and composed the song.
aespa - Thirsty & Spicy(One Take ver.)it’s Live https://youtu.be/WJMBzYraE7I?list=RDWJMBzYraE7I As for aespa songs that are more vocal, I thought I would recommend their performance in its live, which includes two songs, Thirsty and Spicy.
Stray Kids - Sclass Recording scenes https://youtu.be/8_Nt-jnXGfQ?is=gAptoDet7S3qI-jJ
Stray Kids - Sclass Dance Practice https://youtu.be/Dd6Jxk5Kgws?is=WdulwGHxV-1nMB3e I love the choreo for this song so I thought it could be fun for a Quicktake
Ningning (aespa) - ‘Ketchup & Lemonade https://youtu.be/nBxHgh90KkE?list=RDnBxHgh90KkE Ningning participated in writing the song.
winter (aespa) - Blue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRn71cy8fms\&list=RDxRn71cy8fms\&start\_radio=1 I saw that in the previous months and under the last video there were a lot of suggestions for solo songs by aespa, so I'm posting them here. For now, the girls perform solo songs at every concert. They participate in composing and writing these songs (sometimes also in choreography). Blue - Winter participated in writing the lyrics for this song. I was wondering between this and spark, but I think this song is better to showcase her vocals
babymonster-Choom (if possible all album) https://youtu.be/x3eqqoZPV_E?is=6N9U1SfgQIq7lyCQ The are so good nice vocal and rap skils
aespa-Black Mamba https://youtu.be/ZeerrnuLi5E?is=PXTlf_nOWoiKo07J since we were talking about Kwangya era, chronologically the first song is their debut song "Black Mamba"
Bang Chan - I hate to admit https://youtu.be/ZFNG_5DL-FU?si=2ssk1UfGaYaXdjWq
Hyunjin - Quill Pen https://youtu.be/eSRLZfj3X80?si=7lTkLUQq14vPEiCP
Seungmin - Still Here https://youtu.be/Tsr3lBEn9ww?si=2a3IF8LTDnUyQESj This is the song Changbin wrote for Seungmin (in late 2024 Seungmin asked to each of 3racha members to write a song for him)
Stray Kids on King of Masked Singer https://youtu.be/ZKCjUjfeeBc?si=OeG0IPIMT1LjkWXA Four members have been on the show: Han (2019), Changbin (2020), Seungmin (2023), and I.N (2024). This video has all of their performances (except for one of I.N’s, which I’ll link below), and Seungmin’s and I.N’s parts have a talking section at the end that you can skip if you want to save time (though I.N does sing again a cappella at the end, around 38:20). Here’s the additional song from I.N: https://youtu.be/rstrJ8eo9hE?si=x5ApBKGcjuuZfIJq
YB and Seungmin - 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!!
Ateez (Yeosang) - Legacy https://youtu.be/J2I21hGkbqo?si=9Twvzh0nneuxf-b6 In “Golden Hour Pt. 3,” all the members of ATEEZ had solo songs that really showcased each individual’s strengths. Since Yeosang, unfortunately, often has very few lines, I thought it might be interesting if you could check out his song “Legacy.” I think it turned out so incredibly EPIC that it could actually be a soundtrack for a movie or a video game. I’m curious to hear what you think about it. (also sorry for the second comment. Hope this is fine.)
Xikers - Bittersweet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DVqzqdHorw I LOVE Xikers and soon they'll have a Comeback. So if you are interessted in them (I saw some coments about them below): Check this song out. It's my fave and I really, really love the performance. They are great and especially the rapline is very, very talented.
Almost forgot to say this again… WOODZ: Archive. 1 Full Album. I’ll recc it until I die. It’s worth it.
Stray Kids (Seungmin) - Ultra https://youtu.be/-9Yg_Yh6MoE?is=vOaOXv6lULVxrSlK Silly little Quicktake. For their fanmeeting Stray Kids switched their Solos which gave us this absolute gem of Seungmin performing Ultra!
Han (Stray Kids)- Back To Life https://youtu.be/F0UIsSnotlA?si=rZkFmZb0MY1yFt-G Brand new solo song from Hannie! Love rocker boy Han with a guitar in hand.
yes yes yes yes
Straykids (I.N) - Lee Mujin Service https://youtu.be/hQrlBne5PI8?is=SitzxCJIBP_OE9iE
Please check out xdinary heros - voyager
aespa - supernova https://youtu.be/phuiiNCxRMg?list=RDphuiiNCxRMg Supernova is one of aespa's weirder songs. One of the producers is Dem Jointz, who is known for his experimental songs (and the famous producer tag "incoming"). Supernova and Armageddon were the double-title tracks of their album, and the aespa girls themselves bet that Armageddon would be more successful, but Supernova had PAK (number 1 on all Korean music charts) and won song of the year at many K-pop awards shows.
By the way in your web page with the hearts and all that you have Forestella - Time In a Bottle twice (As two separate items under the K music section)
Forestella - Sweet Dreams (Cover): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1ce1r3FCjY This is a song in which you can TRULY appreciate the changes in Hyungho (Kang) voice, his insane GRIT, his insane ROCK notes, his POWER.
MODYSSEY - HOOK https://youtu.be/kK4kGeB5mQs?is=RVu_pVbQ2PiC6edO
Stray Kids - The First Take recordings https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVwk6zAgPZjlxMgaO5aAtPVxvCbYkNuMc&si=0mpGCCt7DL_CxTn_ This is a link to a playlist of all their First Take recordings/videos. This like the Killing Voice but it is a Japanese recording studio and as the name implies they record a song in one take! A lot of artists have done First Take recordings such as Nmixx, anime LiSA, SB19, Harry Styles, just to name a few! I really like the Stray Kids ones because they are vocal, b-side tracks and I don't think you've listened/reacted to most of these songs before! I also recommend watching them from their first one 5 years ago to the more recent ones, I think it's satisfying to see how they've grown lol
xikers (rapline sumin.minjae & yechan) - delulu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC6tSUowhIg&list=RDnC6tSUowhIg&start_radio=1 just an amazing song thats sadly only released onto youtube so all of roady are now trying to convince kq to release it to streaming. For me this is just a really cool song also playing on the viral term delulu from delusional
Keeho from P1 Harmony- Creep (live cover) https://youtu.be/fAQOnVWFvyg?si=_7Ip8Bejum8smPWY
P1 Harmony- L.O.Y.L. https://youtu.be/mt6gODAEpxY?si=IvuZiChUelvm6Psr
Seventeen - Don’t Wanna Cry This is the song you said you wanted to hear more of during the KV! https://youtu.be/NMshSO9OWAQ?si=2xrDOBfUjVsBVb67
I chose this one rather than the Music Video or Performance Video because neither of those have translated CC either, and this has live vocals!
ATEEZ — Coachella full performance (preferably Weekend 1 when tensions were highest) Weekend 1 on x (it's not on youtube in its entirety anywhere): https://x.com/1024brainrot/status/1904610702809068025 (or if you can only do on yt, here's a Weekend 2 fancam which doesn't have as good audio as the weekend 1 on x does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SJn072gHHE& ) ATEEZ had the huge honor and pressure of being the first kpop boy group ever to play Coachella, invited when other "higher status" boy groups from the Big4 agencies had not been because of their spectacular LIVE singing and performance skills. They went all-out doing live rock band rearrangements of all their songs for their Coachella set, took some time to showcase some Korean culture during one song ("The Real"), and even brought their pirate roots to life during their epic closer -- the orchestral version of WONDERLAND from KINGDOM (yes, *including* Jongho's B5 live at the *end* of their 50-minute set!). Especially during Weekend 1 when there was so much dry desert wind blowing that you can visually see the dust clouds (and it made them look even more epic and exciting!), what they manage to do with their live singing in this insanely high-stakes, intense first weekend performance was *insane,* absolutely lightning in a bottle, and I'd love to hear your thoughts and deeper vocal analysis of what they did!

ATEEZ Hongjoong - cover of Beat it by Michael Jackson https://youtu.be/6G6c9xs6nEE?si=AnZGgZkheLwsYrFG
straykids - never ending story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dk-27B5Uzg&list=RD0Dk-27B5Uzg&start_radio=1 an amazing OST that is a fan favourite. ( I am still jealous of all the stays that got to see it live since they almost always seem to forget it exists) I mean i am pretty sure they only did it again after the first releae for the series bec stays were so loud about their love for it
tablo x rm - stop the rain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXAcTToLy_Y&list=RDZXAcTToLy_Y&start_radio=1
kickflip - twenty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt0wRAFpwvg&list=RDGt0wRAFpwvg&start_radio=1 this song is from their newest ep! it released around early april
and since literallly i've been watching on youtube since then has been their performance here the peformance from thei ep showcase! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1FuT7aRpKw&list=TLPQMDMwNTIwMja0QWOlCw6BfA&index=28
xikers - do or die https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcig2Rn9Rak&list=RDwcig2Rn9Rak&start_radio=1 a new group i think we havent seen here yet with pretty amazing music as well! quite a few of the members participated in this song (the rapline) bec they wrote their lyrics. also hongjoong from ateez participated in this so i thought since we already had a reaction to them you would be interested in this as well! theyre under the same company as ateez but have been delivering nonstop and i am a pretty big fan of their music!
straykids - 2kidsshow (lee know & Han) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2bkDilVH8U&list=RDt2bkDilVH8U&start_radio=1 want so bad is another fan favourite and i really enjoy it as well since i really love lee knows as well as hans voice
stray kids - 2Kidsshow (seungmin & Han) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLhCAa_VAoI&list=PLaBX6-0zc535SbHYrJPzmD4l7qZ8yhLa7&index=8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YLbNSC9HUc&list=PLaBX6-0zc535SbHYrJPzmD4l7qZ8yhLa7&index=10 i know that at least volcano is already requested but i hold the performance very dear since we only very rarely get the chance to see sky player/records live. with that said i love all the 2kidshow performances but these two are simply my favourite! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB6VJXA5cYw&list=RDSB6VJXA5cYw&start_radio=1 im putting volcano the full song here again since in the 2kisshow performance its cut short
DK X SEUNGKWAN (SEVENTEEN) - Die With A Smile (COVER) https://youtu.be/04GSqsX0S50?si=z4onzXzc8ydJnFs8 this was meant to be somewhat of a teaser for their upcoming duo/unit album (which i would love to see you react to, but in your own time :3) and showcase their vocal prowess as SVTs main vocalists … though their talent is generally acknowledged in the kpop scene, i feel like they’re both still very overlooked as some of the best vocalists at the moment. they kept the song in the original key, with seungkwan taking on lady gaga’s parts. for a while after it was released, lady gaga fan pages all over social media were reposting the cover and praising their performance … i think that says a lot already :3

BTS — “Film out” Live at MUSIC BLOOD https://youtu.be/nvbDUtrWSt0?si=CKCa6Lfy144993-g This is a performance of one of their Japanese tracks, and one of my favourites of harmonies. It doesn’t have subtitles unfortunately, but I’ve linked a translation: https://www.bangtansubs.com/film-out
RM — Nuts (Live Clip) https://youtu.be/z7FiZTE1NiI?si=mhRNsaHpK0SIMxcX This is performance of one of the B-sides from RM’s album Right Place, Wrong Person, and it’s a good introduction to the vibes of RM’s most recent solo work. The whole album is a very weird and wonderful listen, would recommend.
Jungkook — Euphoria (Live performance) https://youtu.be/zC_KsEiurvE?si=ugluJKZSZ1CrwSV_ I see standing next to you in the recs already, so here’s one of my favourite live performances from Jungkook, and one of his more famous ones. Euphoria is the intro track for the Love Yourself: Answer album.
Agust D — Snooze (feat. Ryuichi Sakamoto, WOOSUNG of The Rose) https://youtu.be/zCNqdvR9e_w?si=pS4nwaSYkpIAJ9wx Agust D (Suga of BTS) has said that Snooze is dedicated to aspiring younger artists. The video linked isn’t the official music video (there isn’t one) but it’s well done and the lyrics in the captions are good.

KPOP HISTORY in 20mins | From SeoTaiji to BTS https://youtu.be/kPS4tCHT6SA It's not a song, but Tim has asked about the history of K-pop many times, and I think this video is good, showing how it all started and explaining the history from the 1st to the 3rd generation

Super Junior - Killing Voice https://youtu.be/F28lRubLEKs?si=udGC0ELy2sL7Iar- Super Junior, debuted in 2005. Current lineup is 10 members. Super Junior is one of those groups where the talent goes way beyond the stage. They’re not only strong singers and performers, but also songwriters, producers, actors, hosts, and variety legends, which is a huge reason they’ve remained such a lasting force in K-pop.

Taeyang - Eyes, nose, lips https://youtu.be/UwuAPyOImoI?si=JuFIBAvJT0FQck5C After Wedding dress this is Taeyang’s most famous solo song. It is about longing for a past lover. Taeyang wrote this song while on a break with his girlfriend (she is the girl in the photo in the MV). Perhaps the song worked because they got back together and are now married with a son.

SHINee - Sherlock(Clue + Note) https://youtu.be/8kyG5tTZ1iE?list=RD8kyG5tTZ1iE We recently discussed on Discord that it would be interesting to do a deep dive with this song. The song has an interesting structure, as it's a combination of two b-sides from the album, "Clue" and "Note." And, it's one of iconic K-pop song.
SHINee - Sherlock(Clue + Note) from SHINee World IV Concert https://youtu.be/M4pINahBoRY?list=RDM4pINahBoRY We also talked about how it would be cool to see the reactions to a concert with this song, because the concert also combines these two songs, but in different parts than the original sherlock. It's probably one of the most famous performances at a SHINee concert. ( Fun fact: SHINee's Key participated in designing the clothes they wear during this performance.)

Stray Kids HAN - Volcano https://youtu.be/SB6VJXA5cYw?si=NW_fiwIXyxgdW0fq This is one of our favorite Hanpop songs (yes I am taking the authority to speak for all of us 😂). Composed, written, performed by HAN. A love song that is also sad, but not exactly a ballad? I am not sure what you genre call this if I'm honest. Translated english captions are available on this official video.
MINNIE from i-dle feat Ten from NCT - Obsession https://youtu.be/-pKYsndlSXE?list=RD-pKYsndlSXE Minnie composed the first demo version of this song about 4 years before its release (2020-2021). Minnie is my favorite voice in i-dle and Ten is one of my favorite NCT members

Stray Kids - Dominate Experience Movie https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0GJMHZGJC/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r This one might already be kind of locked in for later, but I'll drop it just in case. It's 2.5 hours and available only on Amazon Prime for purchase (or Blu-ray coming soon). It's a full recording of the DominATE concert in SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, with additional documentary-style interviews peppered in. This concert includes performances of all 4 Duo songs (Cinema, ESCAPE, Burnin' Tires, and Truman). A great watch even though it'll probably a multi-part series to get through it!

Girls' Generation - I GOT A BOY https://youtu.be/wq7ftOZBy0E?list=RDwq7ftOZBy0E Every time I hear "I like weird songs," I think of this song. Girls' Generation (also known as SNSD or Soshi) is one of the legendary 2nd generation girl groups, known in Korea as Nation's Girl Group.
Wendy - Like Water https://youtu.be/-Ih5UArd4zk?si=zFEL0YRvBGzFoJN6 Wendy is the main vocalist of Red Velvet, and “Like Water” is her emotional solo ballad about comfort, healing, and unconditional support.
Yes please~ I love this song ❤️
Red Velvet - RBB (Really Bad Boy) https://youtu.be/IWJUPY-2EIM?list=RDlikYKQXBLbw this is the song i wrote about in the guide that Irene sang D7. I really like everything that happens in the background vocals and the number of vocal layers
DAY6 - Killing Voice https://youtu.be/OvIk6BDkVE4?si=xJF0iZylnVtppa7N (no subtitles just good music and vibes :) Keyboard: Wonpil Leader/Guitar: Sungjin Bass: Young K Maknae/Drums: Dowoon 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
yess
Tomorrow X Together - Song medley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUERJYKCzWU A video showcasing their live vocals across various songs, almost similar to a killing voice. You have not covered TXT much so I feel like this would be a fun video to react to :D
I can’t remember if I recc’d this before or just mentioned it! I’d be glad to do a TXT guide if Tim says he’ll do this vid :)
Stray Kids - La La La https://youtu.be/dBDkYofMUs4?is=wKcvCx3QVlynEOsq
IRENE (Red Velvet) - 'Like A Flower' Special Stagegraphy https://youtu.be/SafyAWcgVXg?list=RDSafyAWcgVXg It's a medley of several of her solo songs from her first mini album. The order of the songs in the video is "Calling Me Back," "Strawberry Silhouette," "Summer Rain," and "Like A Flower." I thought of this because you didn't hear much of her singing on Killing Voice. I really like her voice, especially the lower vocal on "Summer Rain."

I do think Tim should hear BigBang but he should watch a good introduction video for them detailing their history before hearing their music

Babymonster - Stuck in the Middle https://youtu.be/GsV1i0QHi-o?si=on_EEWPALWp7zu8w Ahyeon is not in this track due to being on hiatus when released. a more Ballad type song of theirs compared to the dance/hip-hop ones you've heard already.

Sorry for the comment dump everyone, but I typed them all out in advance in notes to just copy and paste because I’m really busy today
BTS - We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal https://youtu.be/7UWBYJjuIL0?si=4jM5njA4pl4UzeEL A song that lyrically and visually takes you on a journey of BTS’ history. From the beginning fighting alone against everyone trying to tear them down, to ARMY coming in to lift them up and now everyone fighting together to reach the top
BTS - Louder Than Bombs https://youtu.be/I1Pcj3CHun8?si=Wh9hF1VloxpHnK9u A fan favorite even though it has never been performed. Enchanting harmonies, it tells of the pain and loneliness that comes with fame while also promising to continue for the fans
BTS - Mic Drop https://youtu.be/kTlv5_Bs8aw?si=SAFd_LwKp9qgEUzn This was the opening song to the YTC concert. The music video version was a remix done in collaboration with Steve Aoki
BTS Rap Line - Outro Tear https://youtu.be/UDuaJGYe8EQ?si=nMIHzAPiEi-1lJZp Written during a time of hardship where the members were considering disbanding. It goes through “tear” the crying that happened, “tear” the feeling of being torn apart, and “fear” of the unknown
BTS - Spring Day https://youtu.be/xEeFrLSkMm8?si=0wha98AfMR_pBj6H This one was performed during the YTC concert, but personally I would love a breakdown of it. The song is deeply meaningful to ARMY and the Korean public. While nothing is officially confirmed, there is strong evidence of connection to the Sewol Ferry tragedy. I strongly recommend watching the music video with this explanation video https://youtu.be/Tye1ONFeKis?si=ybX_XcuX0GrNhsFY
Jungkook of BTS - Standing Next to You https://youtu.be/6q0JnftlH-I?si=cOZY1a_WTiEvRLZA The Michael Jackson influence is strong with this one
V of BTS - Stigma https://youtu.be/AcAvNIZ5bDs?si=JPY_WHkVRphfladA With the Tiny Desk performance you got a good feel for V’s more natural lower voice, in contrast this song is spent mostly up in falsetto which really shows off his range
Jimin of BTS - Set Me Free Pt2 https://youtu.be/UaywgAqcLxI?si=dN9wAoZLsVQm357R This one is very different from what we normally see of Jimin in solo songs. I’m honestly not even sure how to describe it
J-Hope of BTS - More https://youtu.be/pKdBFeewZYE?si=jCC0_2Ma79I9-rxY The album that this one is from, Jack in the Box, is a bit of a deviation from other J-Hope solo works. More incorporates some elements of rock music while still being a rap song
Agust D (aka Suga of BTS) - Daechwita https://youtu.be/qGjAWJ2zWWI?si=8akdnDxdKIto4Uj9 Daechwita is a genre of royal military marching music. Suga incorporated this into the song creating a very unique song. I know there’s been some confusion about this one, this link will take you to the correct video
Jin of BTS - Epiphany https://youtu.be/sVH2eKVKIWU?si=4a3Mq5Kb78iwVbFu Jin has such a beautiful voice for emotional ballads, this is my favorite one
RM of BTS - Moonchild https://youtu.be/G9ntaxClfrA?si=4er-ORGD1tdlzT0r RM primarily raps, but this is one of the rare times he tries to do a little more singing
SEVENTEEN 10TH ANNIVERSARY B- DAY PARTY : BURST Stage https://www.youtube.com/live/WDxDuSkuSR8 May is Seventeen’s anniversary month and their special anniversary show from last year might be a good way to celebrate it 🤍
This is a pretty long one! If he’s going to do something much longer for SVT, I’d (personally) prefer it be the full group 💔

That That by PSY (Feat Suga of BTS) https://youtu.be/8dJyRm2jJ-U?si=wfJGPc-lKmcXAtMI This song was also produced by Suga. The shortened version is that Suga wrote the song and sent it over to PSY asking if he wanted it, PSY then convinced Suga to feature on the track with him and co-star in the music video. Suga is on video saying he feels tricked and all he wanted to do was produce the song
