K-Pop Poll #2 - Next Group Reaction

For you guys specifically, definitely Dreamcatcher (I think I suggested it last time along with Day6) since everyone who has heard them knows that they are THE Kpop embodiment of anime-like music, you will love them. Also it would be nice to react to a girl group for a change. While the other groups may be more popular than Dreamcatcher in a sense, I believe Dreamcatcher's music is def for anime fans! Even if you don't react to them next, would highly push for you guys to at some point in the near future. I like Ateez too though, they have some epic-sounding songs that are also like movie/show soundtrack level

Dreamcatcher has such an anime sound to their title tracks, I think you'll like them. You can start chronologically by MV release, or if you'd like to follow the storyline do "Fly High" first as it's a prequel, then do the rest by release date. They are a hugely underrated group, I think because their sound is so niche compared to popular KPop. Title tracks by release date: -Chase Me -Goodnight -Fly High -You and I -What -Piri -Deja Vu (part of the mobile game King's Raid promotions) -Scream Their b-sides are also amazing and they have released quite a few special videos for them, as well as member solo covers and member solo original songs. They often participate in song writing, either with lyrics or sometimes composition, and choreography. These girls are hella talented! Don't even get me started on their vocals ❤

Additional kpop groups to checkout: Pentagon Songs - Shine, Naughty Boy, Humph!, Dr. Bebe, Basquiat Astro Songs - Baby, Crazy Sexy Cool, Blue Flame KARD Songs - Dumb Litty, Red Moon, Enemy, Inferno, You in Me, Hola Hola

Re: song recs.... NCT U’s 7th Sense & Without You, NCT 127’s Limitless, and NCT Dream’s entire discography 😂 are personal faves. For SHINee, I love View, Good Evening, and a true oldie but goodie, Replay. Per another commenter above though, I don’t want to overwhelm with explicit requests to listen to these, so please only do what you guys have capacity to do / want to do. If I can shamelessly plug a couple of girl group songs, I’d recommend f(x)’s 4 Walls and Red Velvet’s Red Flavor & Bad Boy. (Clearly I’m trash for SM groups, yikes)

EXO has one of the best discographies in my opinion and I'm not even an EXO stan XD NCT and SHINee are also good ideas. All of these 3 SM groups have different styles. And maybe some more girl groups? (G)I-DLE is very interesting and standing out girl group with very unique voices.

Out of curiosity, I know there’s a pretty long list of groups to check out and the last thing I want to do is overwhelm you guys but would you guys also be open to checking out solo artists? or maybe artists outside of kpop? Maybe like kr&b or khiphop? Bc I think you guys would like artists like Jay Park, Dean, Zico, JUNNY, etc. - JUNNY is a very underrated kr&b artist from Canada. The song that introduced me to him was called THANK YOU and at first I thought it was solely in English but it has a mixture of Korean as well. You don’t have to necessarily react to JUNNY, I just like recommending new music :)

Would highly recommend NCT or SHINee! Happy to drop song recs if you end up wanting to react to either groups. They’ve both been my favorite groups at one point in time (until SKZ took over lol)
