JANUARY 13th K-POP RELEASES

  1. Vibe (feat Jimin of BTS) – Taeyang
    1. This song was well anticipated by both BTS’ ARMY and BigBang’s VIP. What can I say? The song was a vibe. Taeyang’s vocals and energy really set the tone for the whole song, and when Jimin came in with his verse it was a double kill. The music video was simple, but so well done. It put the focus on the performers, instead of the graphics. I can’t wait for the album. It’s got over 17M in just 14 hours at the time of posting.

  2. Reason – Dreamcatcher
    1.  The intro reminds me of my days before I found K-Pop, as a member of the EMO to K-POP pipeline, Dreamcatcher has always caught my attention with the rock tones. With 3.3M views since posting 10 hours ago, the music video features candid videos of the members at various fan events and an animated portion.
