Kpop Weekly Bops

Since I'm not as busy now that I am done school I am back here to continue this blog! Starting with weekly (hopefully) bop blog posts. These posts will mostly have songs that just came out in the prior week but may also mention older songs as well! Unlike before I am not gonna have a limit on the number of songs that are gonna be mentioned but just whatever is currently on my mind old and new!

This week seems to be a girl power week because every song in my head is by the females! 

So let's start!

Number 1 bop in my head this week is *drum roll* 

Chungha's Snapping!


This song is such a bop! The English parts are so catchy, the video, choreo and singing are all just perfect and amazing! Also can we talk about that long haired backup dancer cause if you watch the choreo version of this...that little dance duet is just soooooo fire! I think this song will be in my head for a while to come!

Number 2 on the list is....

(G)I-DLE's Uh-Oh


Ok so this song isn't a hundred percent my style but it is honestly cool that you can see this group is doing music inspired by music around the world. This is a great throwback to the 90s and it's cute. Their outfits are also soooo cute (also Shuhua has lines!), my only complaint is that the real catchy part for me is at the end and then song is done! This is just a single but I can't wait to see what else they come out with this year!

Honorable mention:

Red Velvet's Zimzalabim


This song wasn't really my thing but I always gotta support these girls! 

Past Songs still in my head!

CLC's Me


I LOVED this song a couple weeks ago so I had to mention it here after I started these blogs again. Also I'm so proud at where they've come!

Somi's Birthday

This song is not what I expected from her and I still stand by the fact that I don't think she will do well solo but this song is quite catchy and I'll support her nonetheless.

Everglow's Bon Bon Chocolat


The music video is great and some of these girls were from produce. The song is really catchy and a great debut! I hope they keep going on to greater things. The video above is the dance choreography. The MV can be found on youtube.

Produce X 101

Produce X 101 has just released it's eighth episode and I thought it was the time to do my yearly who do I want to pay attention to list. This year there is quite a number of them.




Name: Kim Yohan
Age: 19
Label: OUI Entertainment

Lots of potential and is very charming. He also seems to be very well-mannered and hard working. He is surprisingly good at rapping even though he considers himself a vocalist. After his NCT U- Boss cover, it is apparent he has talents in rapping. His singing is adequate and needs more training.

Name: Han Seungwoo
Age: 24
Label: Plan A Entertainment

He is a member of boy group VICTION and seemingly the most talented vocalist of this season. He also seems to have a very kind personality as he is seen mentoring others (Yu Vin) on singing. 

Name: Kim Wooseok
Age: 22
Label: TOP Media

He is a member of the group UP10TION. He has great visuals and seems to be an overall allrounder. He also displays some leadership skills.


Name: Kim Sihoon
Age: 19
Label: Brand New Music

He seems to be a skilled dancer, especially a choreographer. He has good rapping skills. I'll have to see more to tell with him.



Name: Lee Wonjun
Age: 18
Label: E Entertainment

Has good leader qualities. I noticed him with Jinhyuk for the x position battle. While many would say he wasn't really being a leader as Jinhyuk was doing most of the work, we have to remember that mnet might have edited out any instance of him actually leading to heighten the drama. When he did speak I felt he was very mature and Jinhyuk didn't seem to have any problems with him and more the other trainees. From his cover song stage he seemed to have some rapping skills and good expressions. I think he has potential but am worried he will be eliminated soon from lack of attention. 


Name: Ham Won Jin
Age: 18
Label: Starship Entertainment

He has good expressions and excels in the center position. He also seems to be a stable all rounder. I would say the only thing is I'm not fond of his attitude sometimes as he has a tendency to get a bit mopey but I will still keep an eye on him. 


Name: Nam Dohyon
Age: 14
Label: MBK Entertainment

He is a very talented rapper so I think he definitely deserves to have an eye kept on him.



Name: Song Yuvin
Age: 21
Label: The Music Works

He is a member of MYTEEN and a soloist. He has good vocalist and a caring personality.




Name: Song Hyeongjun
Age: 16
Label: Starship Entertainment

He is just so freaking cute! And he has been working hard since his fall into the X category and then rise again. 


Name: Lee Eunsang
Age: 16
Label: Brand New Music

His singing voice seems nice and he has good visuals so I'm keeping an eye on him.

Name: Choi Suhwan
Age: 17

He seems to have skills as a vocalist. Will keep observing. 

Others that I am observing but not as interested in include:

Keum Donghyun
Kim Minkyu
Tony

Kwon Taeeun

Moon Junho
