From:

I had a longer comment and DW ate it twice, but:

I wouldn't say this sound is gone in K-pop, but the feeling kind of is.

"The feeling" being that K-pop was flexible enough in its willingness to sample other genres, any other genres, to make it really fun to listen to? I'm guessing, based on the entry you linked to. (Cause "the feeling is gone" in regards to K-pop in particular means something different over here and I'm having a very hard time getting out of my own head and trying not to focus on my feelings. If that makes sense.)

(This is part of why I was/am so cranky about the dismantling of Pristin; "Wee Woo" and "We Like" were very much not everyone's cup of tea but at least they felt like different cups of tea! I still get surprised now and then--"Love Bomb" and "Mook Jji Bba" last year and ”Eung Eung” this year -- but it feels like sounds have solidified and the surprises are the exception rather than the rule.)

(Like even Ladies’ Code played it safe? sigh.)

Kinda curious what you think of Juzim.
