Last one. :)

My second Token Boy, and another 2nd Gen legend. Taken from his solo debut, which also happens to be my Album of the Year, Chase.

Soshi sunbaenim. 🙇‍♀ It was a toss-up between this or INVU. The woman is incapable of releasing bad songs.

KARD were my 'gateway drug' into Kpop, so they have a special place in my heart. This was their first release after J.Seph had completed his military service, and it's a return to the sound that hooked me back in 2017.

This one snuck up on me. Couldn't stand it when I first heard it lol. Similar happened to me with SNSD Hyoyeon's Dessert a couple of years back. 🤷‍♀

These kids only debuted in November.

The young kids knocked it out of the park last year, especially the girl groups. This is the Dance Practice version, bcos the official MV is about twice as long as the song. 🙃

'kay, bit late, but here's my #KPop Top Ten for 2022.

Disclosure: I'm mainly a 2nd Gen GG stan, so this list is going to be top-heavy with women. Pun slightly intended. Also, while I'm a literal card-carrying MooMoo, there won't be any #Mamamoo in this list, tho between them the girls released 50+ songs last year, so they could probably get their own Top Ten. Hmm... 🤔

Anyway #KPopSOTY22 starts in earnest in the next post...
