Ranking the BIGGEST K-Pop debuts of 2024 | ReacttotheK Weekly Podcast #56

As 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.

LOL, nice to meet ya Magnetic disliker haha :D I totally get what you mean by "busy but light" percussion and what you said about the vocals and harmonies. I guess it really depends on how much drama a person wants in their music! Happy to have introduced you to BadVillain!!!

Ok, completely separate comment because you said you'd never met anyone who disliked Magnetic and now you have. 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.

I'm glad! I'll brainstorm with Colton how we could do more episodes that combine several different artists in one go :D let me know if you have any suggestions! ^^

I 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.
