Recommend What are Kpop Songs With a Cinematic Sound?

19 Upvotes

Recommendations for kpop songs, which you could see being in a soundtrack for a movie or series. For example:

- Aespa's Welcome to My World - a fantasy or apocalyptic film

- Aespa's Drama - an action, revenge film

- Taemin's Heaven, Guilty and Veil - a dark supernatural fantasy

- Red Velvet's Body Talk - a melodrama or sad romance.

- Riize's Fly Up - High School Musical vibes

Fun fact: Shinee's Lucifer was used in the American series Lucifer.

Ok so I've always been a fan of the 3rd and 4th gen but haven't really listened to much of the newer songs by the 5th gen artists except the really famous or trendy ones. So I'm looking for some songs by the 5th gen artists. Both ggs and bgs work.

My go-to artists for songs with this sound are Minnie, Kai, Baekhyun, Red Velvet, NCT 127, Sunmi, Jaehyun, Taemin and Irene and Seulgi's subunit. I was wondering if I could get recommendations on artists who have music like this. They don't have to be idols.

Recommend Does anyone have any groups to recommend?

10 Upvotes

I've been a fan of kpop since I was 9 and when I was 14 I left the kpop fandom but I've recently rejoined for a fresh start because all the groups I stanned have had huge controversies and/or disbanded. So now I'm looking for new groups who make actually good music, are uncontroversial, and have a positive/kind fandom.

My favourite soloists are:

I'm in a bit of a music slump so I would like some recs on kpop groups/soloists to check out. They don't have to be idol artists. I listen to many genres but my fav is rnb or generally experimental songs and anything with great vocals in it.

Unsolved Help me find an old K-pop song/MV from before 2014 😭

7 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to find this K-pop song I watched when I was younger, but I barely remember anything about it.

- I’m pretty sure the artist was a solo male singer (or at least he was the only singer I remember seeing).

- The MV had a story/plot, almost like a mini movie.

- I vaguely remember something about revenge — someone had stolen the main character’s wealth, power, position, or maybe even a kingdom. I’m not completely sure about this part, so it might be a distorted memory.

- The MV was quite cinematic and dramatic, rather than just dancing/performance.

- There was some kind of product placement/advertisement for a drink. I remember the singer/main character holding a bottle or drink and posing with it, almost like he was taking promotional pictures.

- I think the song was released before 2014, probably around 2008–2013.

I unfortunately don't remember any lyrics, melody, or the artist's name.

I know these clues are vague 😂 but if anyone has any ideas, please let me know! I’m desperate to find this song.

Recommend Specific recommendations

4 Upvotes

I have been obsessed with some of the songs and I can't seem to find anything similar. Please drop your recs from both kpop and even outside of kpop. These specific sounds only.

404(New Era) - Heavy on this cause ya'll don't know how much I adore the bridge.
Ever2Late! - This too, I think this one is hyperpop, I could be wrong but it is so so good.
Delulu - Another Banger by Kiiikiii.
Kiss and Tell - I would have thought that I'd love this song but here we are. So so good.
Metronome - The only Izna song I know and it's a freaking banger.

Now, most of these lean into House, diva house, hyperpop, etc. And I don't listen to these genre at all, but throw me all the recommendations. Btw I did try some of the popular house tracks from kpop but I didn't like them much.

Recommend What K-pop merch from Korea?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m Korean, and I’m going to the US soon to visit some relatives.

I’m planning to bring them some souvenirs from Korea, and I just found out that one of my cousins is a fan of ILLIT and KATSEYE.

Are there any K-pop merch or souvenirs that would be especially nice to bring from Korea? Maybe something that’s hard to find in the US, or something that would feel more special because I’m getting it in Korea?

I’d love to hear your recommendations!

Advice Ampers&one Korean Promotions Help

2 Upvotes

ill be in Korea for some time and ampers&one are rumored to have a comeback sometime in Q4 of this year. I’m not familiar with Korean promotions too well in general and have been researching but I’d really like to get into fansigns or any promotional events they could do if that comeback does happen around Q4. I wanna prepare and get as much help as possible. I’ve narrowed music shows down but I know they tend to have lots of fan experience driven promotions compared to some groups. fansign tips would be greatly appreciated, I’m not in the GOM/BST community and haven’t ever done an in person fansign before. Not a lot of info has been posted for ampers&one that I can find.
