Got7, a heptagonal idol filled with only Jin-guk [Jeon Hyo-jin‘s selfish pick]
- Based on albums released from January 1st to January 29th, arranged in order of release date-
◆ ONEUS Special Album [Dear.M]: We Are Young
- Background music that encourages freedom. A cheer that fills an open stadium comes to mind. The perfect track to enjoy our own freedom, with our own sound. Heart-pounding rock/metal sounds and ONEUS‘ powerful shout “We Are Young” filling the gap. Dreaming of the eternity of youth.
◆ WEi 7th Mini Album [The Feelings]: Fear
- Smooth, easy listening. Leader Jang Dae-hyun’s words, “I hope the members are proud of me”, were a well-founded confidence. ‘Fear’, written by Jang Dae-hyun, is a medium tempo track with an easy-to-listen acoustic guitar sound that is imbued with a yearning to save others from anxiety. Placed at the end of the album, it completed a quite satisfactory dragon head dragon mi narrative.
- A heptagonal idol packed with only Jin-kooks. With 7 members, 7 agencies, and 7 stars shining in their own places, they solidified their identity with the 7-sided [Heptagon]. Above all, it is attractive that it is an ‘omnibus album’ that has fantasy-youth-road movie-romcom-melodrama-human drama. It is filled with self-composed songs that contain each member‘s individuality, showing off their abilities, and you wonder ‘Will it go together?’ However, all the songs are dotted with the ‘sincerity’ of the group trying to come together, so you can listen to it smoothly until the end. If you’re curious about the sophisticated musical world of GOT7, the role model of ‘Apart But Together’, this is a must-listen album.
- A first impression that makes a mother smile. The hip-hop-based dance song ‘Knock Knock’ is an addictive line created by the harmony of 808 bass and drum sounds. In terms of content, it‘s fun to auditorily express the excitement and trembling toward a crush. The hesitant kickflip is depicted and automatically makes you smile.
◆ (G)I-dle Minnie’s 1st Mini Album [HER]: Valentine‘s Dream, Obsession (Feat. TEN of WayV)
- Minnie’s vocal introduction. Has Minnie‘s voice ever been this lyrical and elegant? Even the word ‘Obsession’ has a sweet-sounding magic. In particular, ‘Valentine’s Dream‘ really captures Minnie‘s tone. Minnie’s words, ‘The song that is most like me’ ‘I wanted to release it as a solo song, not as a group’, will make you believe it.
◆ Eunhyuk‘s 1st Mini Album [EXPLORER]: A-yo
- A good example of an intro. ‘A-yo’, which has an impressive 20th century old-school sound, runs through the entire album and has the power to make you listen to the whole album. The only downside is that it’s too short. I left it to you, so give me more.
