Today, we will be listening to some of our favorite 2023 pre-summer K-Pop comebacks! We’ve got music from Stray Kids, Taeyong, EXO, Ateez, and Le Sserafim. Let’s go! 

Here’s the full episode, and we’ll also drop song by song below.

Our first song today is going to be from Stray Kids’ recent album drop called 5-Star. Although we love S-Class, there’s enough chatter about it online, so we’re actually going to play our favorite song from the album which is called Collision. Let’s go ahead and enjoy this one together: 

Collision is a sweet song that compares love to the collision of planets, but in turn also a total fuckboy anthem written and composed by Han and & Millionboy. Listen to the episode for our opinions on this amazing B-side!

After starting off strong with an energetic petty love song, we’re going to keep it steady with our next choice. Although Taeyong’s SHALALA title track has arguably been among the top neo sounding sounds to come from NCT, we’re going to let the bounce bow wow wow wow bounce rest for today and we’re also going for a B-Side here. From the SHALALA mini album, let’s listen to Ruby.

• SUN – has worked with Astro, Wonho, Monsta X 

The complete anti-fuckboy anthem. A tale of unconditional, maybe unrequited or maybe reciprocated love. Completely contrasting Shalala. More opinions on the episode!

We know this is a pre-summer episode and this next song totally does not fit the typical summer vibe, but we HAVE to talk about this song. EXO’s most recent ballad drop, Let Me In. Let’s give it a listen.

OMG. Oh. My (Our). God. We don’t have words. We’d tell you to go to the episode to hear our thoughts but the truth is that the song took us out and left us pretty speechless. If you still want to hear us be unintelligible, listen at your own risk.

Ok, we’re done with the sappy stuff and ready to turn up the summer heat up in here. It’s been just over a week since we were BLESSED by our favorite licuadora (ENG: blender) music makers who make 1 team with 8 gorgeous and talented parts: Ateez. Let’s get Bouncy together!

Male body parts. Spelling bees. El Chichicuilote. What do all these things have in common? We’ll plug the episode again…

We have arrived at the end of our tracklist for today, and we saved the party for last. Although this song is actually the oldest in this setlist, we just got a tease for a remix so it’s FRESH on our minds. Let’s listen to Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard’s Wife from our fearless girlies, Le Sserafim.

Kathy got her whole life from the second she first heard it. Laura didn’t, but she eventually came around. All the references and back stories can be found in one place and one place only: you already know what it is.

Ok, not to plug the episode again BUT we did make two versions of it because when we limit our streaming parties to Spotify Premium holders, a lot of you miss out. So here you go, with a version that unfortunately only has 10ish seconds of each song because, copyright.

If you want more than 10 seconds of each song… you guessed it.
