001. rating korean-pop groups ! daily shoutout – @heartsuko follow me at; @daisuko sets _____ _____ _____ _____ a. blackpink (girl group) opinion – blackpink is an iconic group that set the foundation for many other rising kpop groups (newjeans, itzy, etc). personally, i think a lot of their songs aren't that unique and are sort-of repetitive. i really enjoy shut down + duu-du duu-du by blackpink, however! their members are really talented and have such iconic voices. rose is my favorite singer in the group (her vocals are amazing), and lisa is a very talented dancer. all together, i think blackpink is quite edgy, even though they don't have the most original songs... i would rate them 6/10 b. twice (girl group) opinion – twice is my favorite girl group for SO MANY REASONS. their members are really talented, vocally and in their choreography, their songs are really nice, and their music videos are so aesthetically pleasing- they have so much w rizz lmao... my bias for twice is chaeyoung, because her rapping vocals are really smooth and like wow- my visual for twice is either chaeyoung or nayeon, because they're both really pretty and i would totally date them if i wasn't so much younger than both of them. i rate twice a 10/10 because yes <3 c. itzy (girl group) opinion – i love itzy. periodt. they're very edgy, and their style is reminscent of a sharp, vibrant rock-and-pop music aesthetic. yeji's vocals are amazing, and their songs set a fun, futuristic mood! a lot of itzy songs are incredibly catching and stuck in my head... however, i feel like they need to work on their choreography a bit, and mixing up their dance styles. itzy's cheshire era was actual literal perfection, and i rate them a 7/10 d. ive (girl group) opinion – i don't really like ive in particular... a *few* of their songs are catchy, but they don't really convey a god, consistent vibe, and i feel like their song lyrics and the instrument don't match up. plus, there's been a lot of drama featuring jang-wonyoung (the so-called center of the group), so i'm just staying away from their music. not many of their songs have an "appeal" to me, or are very unique, so i'd rate ive a 4/10. e. stray kids (boy group) opinion – i love stray kids to the moon and beyond- i am a certified stay for so many reasons ahasjhasjhk- first of all, their members are so talented (and very hot *cough cough*), and their great vocal ranges are literal fire. felix and bangchan are my biases for stray kids, and their voices are so deep and smooth. hyunjin is my visual because he's so hot.. but taken (luxie i'm looking at you). skz is overrall a really great group and their music is really empowering! listening to skz always hypes me up, and i rate them a 10/10. f. nine.i (boy group) opinion – nine.i is a new k-pop boy group that popped up recently. if you haven't heard of them, they have 10 members under the company firstone entertainment their debut album was called new world, which i absolutely love. nine.i's songs are pretty good, and they remind me a lot of stray kids (skz). in fact, i don't really stan nine.i because i feel like they're a rip-off of skz... overrall their songs are good and their members are talented. i would rate them a 6/10. g. bts (boy group) opinion – bts is such a classic. every basic k-pop stan knows who bts is: one of the first k-pop boy groups that set the way for many others to come, like skz and enha (enhypen). i really like their songs, which have a really chill vibe. the thing about bts is that their music is a lot like modern western pop, instead of being super-upbeat and bubbly like a lot of k-pop girl groups (in reference to twice's celebrate album). my bias from bts is jungkook, and my visual is v (he's hot, admit it). i would personally rate bts a 7/10. h. newjeans (girl group) opinion – aaah, time to talk about newjeans! there is so much hype about this new, famed girl-group. they really made a hit with ditto and hype boy, which got them up to the name of one of the most popular k-girl groups! my bias from newjeans is probably danielle because her voice is so smooth and angelic (like my voice = crusty musty car), and my visual is haerin because let's face it she's gorgeous- one thing i dislike about newjeans is that their songs are pretty repetitive, and every time they release a new song, i'm not really surprised or enjoying it as much as i should whenever a new song from one of my favorite music idols comes out. their songs are really chill and simple, and they're great for a relaxing vibe. all in all, i would probably rate newjeans a 6.5/10. i. enhypen (boy group) opinion – this is the last k-pop group i'll be rating today! i don't listen to enha a lot, and usually i'm not the biggest fan of boy bands (with the exception of skz), but i'd say their songs are pretty good! they sound pretty nice together and their song drunk-dazed is really amazing- i would personally rate enhypen a 6/10. the end – ciao :3
