Ranking the BIGGEST K-Pop debuts of 2024 | ReacttotheK Weekly Podcast #56
Added 2025-02-01 06:22:17 +0000 UTCAs TWS sings, "First encounters are always so hard!"--a sentiment proven true in this episode as Colton, Umu, and Saffion rank 10 of the most popular Kpop group debut songs of 2024 to decide who made a good first impression and who needs to make up for a lackluster introduction with a strong comeback.

I came here hoping TWS wouldn't be trashed, and came away so damn validated.

I guess it really depends on how much drama a person wants in their music! Happy to have introduced you to BadVillain!!!

Hi. :) Here's why I dislike Magnetic and Illit in general - they are what I would call "New Jeans coded", which is to say they have a similar style to New Jeans....who I also don't like and I know I am very much in the minority on that as well lol. I don't like what I term as 'busy but light' percussion, and I'm not huge on the 'airy' voice they all tend to sing in, while also staying in a mostly narrow range of notes in the middle of their ranges. Plus, there's the 'pleasantly dissonant' chords and harmonies and I just don't love that amount of dissonance in a song, whether pleasant or not. Tbh, I'm a drama queen at heart, so I don't vibe with the laidback/chill/don't care mentality haha. BadVillain title track? Playlist before I even got to the chorus so that tells you where I'm at.

2025-02-26 19:55:09 +0000 UTCI appreciate this episode so much because it always gives me new groups to try out! I like being able to at least check out less popular groups even if I don't end up liking them.
