List here.

Before starting, I'd like to talk about Stellar's disbandment. They were a group full of talent and potential, and all their songs (except for that embarrassing debut track) were amazing, but their agency treated them as sexual tools to earn money from and forced them to perform the infamous provocative concepts of Marionette and Vibrato (the company even tried to sign a contract with an erotic Chinese TV show). This is why, even though I love K-Pop, the way it works should be heavily revisited. When you see a K-Pop girl group doing suggestive dance moves or showing parts of their body, don't call them "h***y s**ts", because they were forced by their agency to do so: instead, notice how much they are suffering under this "sexy" image, and try to support them as much as you can. Goodbye Stellar... :(

Now, back to the new releases of this week!

Liked:
 * Ego Function Error - Lazy Cat: sounds like an anime OST, but I don't mind that
 * Kim Sung Kyu - True Love: finally a K-Pop ballad done correctly
 * NCT U (Ten & Taeyong) - Baby Don't Stop
 * SF9 - Mamma Mia
 * WJSN/Cosmic Girls - Dreams Come True

Disliked:
 * Jeon Soyeon - Idle Song: sounds a bit like a kindergarten song (especially because of that "neodonado" part)
 * NCT Dream - Go: sounds like a bunch of cluttered noise

If you want to discover more K-Pop... There's this channel called K-Ville Entertainment, which has this weekly (kinda) series where their Patreons choose K-Pop songs they like and gather them into a playlist. It's a nice series, you should check it out ^_^

Recommendations This actually came out today, but I don't care because it's great. The verses are not that impressive, but then the chorus pops up and snatches everybody's wig.
