I've been listening to a lot of IVE recently. I've always focused on other groups more, but I came to the realization that every single one of their comebacks get frequent listens on my end. I don't think I have the mental bandwidth to get into them as a group, but I acknowledge that their discography is extremely strong. I did a complete 180 on Baddie and now it's a song in my workout playlist.

Hmm...not my favorite song of theirs, for sure. It's slowly growing on me, but it didn't capture me like Off the Record did.

Looks like the link turned private. Is this the same video?

IVE back on their bop shit, I love this song already. For me, they're putting together a discography of songs that have some of the best grooves, with an unforgiving driving bass line that I adore.

Leeseo is really getting my attention with this music video with her presence, and I'm glad to see it! Not sure of the popularity of each member, but I know every time I stop by a kpop store, the only member versions that are available are Leeseo's, so hopefully this helps change that trend.

Overall, it's decent. I think I may have set my expectations too high after hearing I DO, but I overall felt like I liked each song less and less as I went along.

Flip It was definitely the most jarring, I didn't expect a full rap song - I feel like Soyeon is a great rapper, but the rest of the group leaves a bit to be desired. I'm wondering if this is because it's the first time I've ever understood the lyrics (since they're in English). Outside of the rapping, Miyeon's pre-chorus was very nice!

Love the music video. I like the artistic direction that I Do, and I Want That have. Girls fit the song perfectly. Chorus seems to be polarizing, but I like it!

Agreed that bullet wound was definitely toned down - I'd imagine having an actual realistic depiction would be a bit too much for people wanting to just watch a music video though lol.

It's new, if you consider that it doesn't have a studio release! But yes, people who attended their last world tour probably were able to hear it already.

Here's a live performance of it, if you don't mind spoilers.

Saw her perform this live. The silhouette effect that she did during the chorus was really cool, I hope that they do the same thing in the video. Song didn't stand out too much for me, but I have a feeling this is one of those songs that take a few times before it settles in.

I was introduced to Kai when Momo and him did the Rover challenge. Damn does that guy have total control over his body.

Thank you for this lol!

 

Wanted to put an opportunity for our community to gush a bit about their ults. Videos, articles, photos, let it all out!

 

For those who have been lucky enough to attend a concert, have any stood out to you, and what were your favorite parts?

Conversely, for those who are waiting for their first time, which group are you most excited to see live?

 

I feel like most of us probably got introduced into the world of K-pop through a song or artist that caught our interest, and that trickled into getting deeper and deeper into the whole industry. I’m curious about your guy’s story!

 

The game looks fascinating to me, but I've never played any of the other FF games. I'm aware of the characters in VII, but outside of that, would I need to play any others to play XVI?
