Abuela's BONUS Song of the Day (Oct 15)

Mark Tuan (GOT7) - hold still youtu.be/yUGWccYjrYI
cw: aggressive flashing, blood/injury

Mark, Mark, Mark. What did you do? 😅 Song's in English with some violent imagery in the lyrics. Also, he comes soooo close to bisexual chair sitting...

ACE (VAV) - Lean On Me youtu.be/gSq1PGRyFCM
cw: lens flares, potential hanky warning

It's an accident that this song finally lands SotD on the same day I'm having Big Feelings, I swear. I don't even go here and still ACE has stolen the bias slot.

I'm going to forever be salty that Seunghan got pushed out of his group by hateful bad actors. As a solo debut, this is some good clean fun

The fact that this MV has been copied twice in the last 12 months is wild to me. Made moreso cuz the boys have said this is a core track

Flashing back to 2015 & these BABIES acting the fool, intercut w/ clips from the film. The nonsense levels are so high w/ this & we love it.

Villain - A Piece of Work youtu.be/z2qVC0XLlG0
cw: lens flares, implied drinking, potential hanky warning

Throwback to 2018 with this tear-jerker of a ballad because who doesn't enjoy some emotional damage with their Kpop adventures?

Bradley Simpson - Almost (feat. Kim Hongjoong (ATEEZ)) (audio only) youtu.be/UkPicHjyaG8

Not a collab I had on my 2025 bingo card, but so thrilled with its existence. Captain has such a sweet singing voice, these two really worked well together.

And now for something differently political! This video was originally released to honor Mother's Day, so also includes cute baby pictures of the band & Lzzy.

Disturbed - The Sound of Silence youtu.be/u9Dg-g7t2l4
cc: surrealism, flashing
CC in ENG

Leaning into my Abuela side by flashing back to a cover of staple of my childhood. A decade since this was released, almost 6 since the original, & still entirely relevant.

Yeonjun (TXT) - Ghost Girl youtu.be/tA48jeiyRaw
cw: flashing, lens flares, implied smoking
CC in 5 tracks, incl ENG

Is it blood or is it just paint? Tortured artist trope strikes again. And yet I get hung up on this song so very easily.

[delayed post] Midweek New Music Roundup :: September 17th - 24th abuelaskpop.dreamwidth.org/56289.html

This week's listing features new music from LUN8, MINGI (ATEEZ), SUHO (EXO), Junhee (A.C.E), Huh Gak, plus many, many more!

In a distressed frame (top and bottom bars only, red to blue left to right gradient), three screenshots. Leftmost, five members of Korean male idol group LUN8 , wearing black suits, dance in an open arena-like space. In the center, a close-up of a young Korean man (Mingi of ATEEZ), his face mostly obscured by long bangs, holding his arms in front of his chest in box pose, hands fisted. He is about to make the biting sign, a signal in street dance vocabulary that means someone has stolen your move, your style, or a whole concept. Rightmost, a close-up of a grinning Korean man with ginger-red hair (SUHO of EXO), wearing a soft grey sweater, leaning against an unseen tree. Title text reads Midweek New Music Roundup. Bottom text reads September 17th - 24th.

Song Mingi (ATEEZ) - ROAR youtu.be/mdIT5Z4cLlY
cw: aggressive flashing, drinking (social), shirtless Mingi
CC in 10 tracks, incl ENG

The same week Mingi drops this MV, we get Boys II Planet playing shit games, blatantly copying ATEEZ. Shameless.

ACE (VAV) - NEED U youtu.be/FAcpE6eVmaA
cw: lens flares, camera motion

And now for something a little different: something a bit more pop-rock from a pretty boy clearly gunning for a bias slot (as if he didn't already have that after Minha Razão).

The Boyz - Stylish youtu.be/WKwDbkUqdiY
cw: aggressive flashing
CC in ENG

Yeah, I'm still pissed about the Juhaknyeon BS, but this is still a good song. That feels a bit like a sequel to Gibberish, complete with a "KEVIN!" moment
