Liked
 * 100% - Summer Night
 * Apink - I'm So Sick: Apink made a more mature concept for the first time, and it surprisingly works. I admit the vocal samples in the chorus are a bit annoying and the lyrics should have been a bit more detailed, but as it is, it's fine.
 * Flashe - Baby Lotion: IDK actually... it sounds childish but fun at the same time. Then again, I also like Twice's latest songs, so that's not a problem.
 * Golden Child - Let Me
 * Holland - I'm Not Afraid: definitely a step-up from Neverland, which is quite boring IMO.
 * Jessi - Down: I seriously wonder when the tropical house trend will end, but this song does it well so it's not a problem.
 * SHINee - Our Page: not exactly a masterpiece, but at least it doesn't sound like every other ballad in K-Pop these months.

Disliked
 * Yang Da Il ft. Wendy - One Summer': zzzzzzz...

ALBUM REVIEW: Loona yyxy - beauty&thebeat I don't have anything to recommend this time, so I decided to write a track-by-track review of Loona yyxy's mini album instead.
 * dal segno: we start with a happy interlude, which attracts the listener with a cool guitar riff and snaps and then switches to quirky, dubstep-like synths. At the end, there is a low-pitched voice that can nourish your creative mind if you're interested in the Loonaverse. I give it a 7.5/10.
 * love4eva (ft. Grimes): and now we get the feature track, which has received some flack for being too similar to Gee (both songs are produced by E-Tribe). As for me? I prefer this to Gee. I know it's almost identical, but... Idk, it's bubblier and sparklier to me. 8/10
 * frozen: now, we have a song about falling in love head over heels with a boy over cool, synth-rooted production that leads to an explosive chorus. I think this should have been released as the feature track instead, since it's really nice. 8.5/10
 * one way: and now for an attempt at a ballad, which works much better than all the other carbon-copies in K-Pop from this year. The reason why it works for me is because Loona sound more angelic and recognizable than most other singers, hence why the song captures the feeling of needing someone to love in your life. The strings and the piano notes definitely help. 8.5/10
 * rendezvous 18.6y: we end the review with a bright, bubbly pop song about the coincidence that made each member meet and form the Loonaverse. I live for those handclaps and the synths in the chorus, and that's why it gets a 9/10.
