Twitter thread Q-pop K-pop etc. 2018

2018 my favorite idol-like tracks were not K-pop but Q-pop from Kazakhstan: Ninety One "Ah!Yah!Ma!" KeshYou & Baller "Swala La La," Crystals "Неге мен?" Off-year for K-pop or just my hearing of it? /1 @MargaretMayHan

Best K-pop track TheEastLight. "Don't Stop" will forever have asterisk due to bandmembers' saying producer hit and derided them. Other fave K-pop LOOΠΔ/Olivia Hye ft Jin Soul "Egoist," Pungdeng-E "Caramel Macchioto," Stray Kids "Grrr," NCT U "Baby Don't Stop" /2 @MargaretMayHan

2018 K-pop cont'd Royal KD "Swagchy," Hey Girls "Follow Me," The Boyz "Right Here," Sunmi "Siren," BTS nonsingles "So What" "Anpanman" & "Airplane Pt. 2" But most exciting Korean music probably hip-hop: Jvcki Wai, Kid Milli, NO:EL, Young B, Swings "Work Out"… /3 @MargaretMayHan

…Jvcki Wai "Enchanted Propaganda" & "dOgMa," Jay Park ft 2 Chainz "SOJU" (only scratches surface, so much K-hip-hop I haven't heard) More Korea: Wonderful Machine "Time's Gone" lounge indie; Hong Jinyoung "Good Bye" trot (ditto barely even pawing at surface) /end @MargaretMayHan
