That's a great list, ufo... I'm down to vote for everything on it up to Siren.
I'll add:Momoland - Bboom Bboom Pentagon - ShineSeventeen - Oh My Chungha - Roller CoasterGFriend - Time for the Moon Night Dean - Instagram Lee Jin Ah - Run (with Gray)**NCT 127 - Boss NCT 127 - Simon Says Minseo - Zero The Boyz - Giddy UpApril - Oh My MistakeSHINEE - Countless
Other songs I'm thinking about but don't feel strongly about: ONF - Complete Got7 - Lullaby
And the ones no one else will vote for:Brand New Boys (MXM) - Ya Ya YaSoyou - All Night (with SIK-K)Day6 - Shoot Me** UNB - Black Heart SHINEE - Lock You Down
**Mostly as a stand in for the songs from these artists I wish I'd nominated last year lmao, but both songs are pretty hooky.

Also, this is separate from my year-end list, but here's my JAZZ WATCH 2018 list for those who are interested:
Lee Jin Ah (with Gray) - Run Dean - Instagram Soyou (with SIK-K) - All Night Minseo - Is Who? Brand New Boys - Ya Ya Ya UNB - Black HeartApril - The Blue BirdFromis_9 - Dancing Queen SHINEE - Retro BTS - PlutoHeize - First Sight
Fully expecting this trend to jump over from Korea to the US at some point, or maybe that's just my wishful thinking.

To let you guys know how serious this is, we have two local very good jazz stations these days they are the only thing I listen to on the radio.

Basically last year would have been a great time to nominate some jazzy Kpop
(example: Heize - JengaLee Jin Ah - Random Day6 - What Should I Do)
and these songs have grown on me a bunch, so this year is my chance to make amends.

Also add CLC - Seventh to that JAZZ WATCH 2018 list, I think I might nominate all the tracks on it just for laffs.

i could definitely get behind 'Run' and 'oh! My Mistake'. i'd forgotten about 'Run' but it's excellent

Since I feel so strongly about this, I went ahead and made an 8tracks playlist for ya'll. Some of the songs on it are from 2017 tho:

I love oh! my mistake, have you seen the video of April doing it live acapella after the audio cuts out at some college festival? They aren't power vocalistss by any means but much stronger than I'd thought.

Not sure if there's a consensus pick yet but I *still* haven't gotten over the vocal arrangements on NCT U's "Baby Don't Stop" so that's probably going to be my highest-placing K-pop pick.
Other faves, mostly the same as what everyone else has posted: Red Velvet - "Bad Boy" (a real slow-burner for me but it's now kind of my favourite RV song? Weird.)SHINee - "Good Evening" Hyolyn - "SEESEA"TWICE - "What is Love?"Pentagon - "Shine"G)I-DLE - "HANN (Alone)"SF9 - "Now or Never"April - "Oh! My Mistake"
Also was this ever posted here? TSJ reviewed this a couple of weeks ago, and it's incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR5CtMLuiqQ

WINNER track is really fun! Seungyoon sounds good in that range and Mino's rap is really fun at that speed.
I like the BoA a lot too, SM stays on point with the Latin fusion tracks.

@Roz
SF9 - Now or Never is nice, and I think we forgot Super Junior - Lo Siento too! https://youtu.be/odl7J8Ms6MQ

Though how legitimate a list that doesn't include NCT U - Baby Don't Stop is, I don't know.
oh i'm glad that reminded me of SEVENTEEN - Thanks, i really love that one but keep forgetting to add it to my 2018 playlist
― ufo, Saturday, 22 December 2018 04:08 (five years ago) link
also See Sea is just the ideal tropical house track, so effortless and i love the vocal layering in the chorus so much

kpop 2019
here's a new thread
― ufo, Friday, 4 January 2019 05:06 (five years ago) link
Holy crap guys, I got sick and didn't nominate anything for the 2018 year end list :(
I'm just about to check if it's on there, but the best kpop song of 2018 is Heize's Jenga. For some reason, I'd been thinking all this time that it came out last year. Hopefully someone else nominated it.

Not there, dang :( I'll just continue to talk about it up in this thread then, maybe one day I'll be able to forgive myself for not nominating this and First Sight.
― hurricane weather (forapper), Sunday, 6 January 2019 19:17 (five years ago) link
my vote were for Red Velvet 'Power Up' and IU 'BBIBBBI'this Heize track is pretty great tho!
