2022 Kpop binge list
This year Dreamcatcher was the biggest surprise, I love the Apocalypse: Save Us album and seeing them live kept that momentum strong. Weirdly enough until now I could not get into them. |
| 1 | Dreamcatcher (KR)
Starlight
Best song for me this year, the 80s influence makes this a really catchy, lovely tune. |
| 2 | MAISON
The single off the Dreamcatcher album is just as good. |
| 3 | IVE
Love Dive
Awesome song by these newcomers, it's something different than yer usual Kpop singles. |
| 4 | KEP1ER
WA DA DA
Infectious song. |
| 5 | VIVIZ
Bop Bop
Half of Gfriend returns as VIVIZ and do an excellent job. |
| 6 | TAEYEON
INVU
Not much of a Taeyeon fan, yet this track is lovely. |
| 7 | SUNMI
Heart Burn
Sunmi can do no wrong. |
| 8 | Dreamcatcher (KR)
Beauty Full
Solo song from member Dami brings the blink-182 sound. She should do an EP of this stuff next time. |
| 9 | Cherry
Solo song from member JiU with some city pop touches, very catchy. |
| 10 | LE SSERAFIM
Fearless
Another great song from newcomers Le Sserafim. |
