อันดับที่ 20: We Like - Pristin
If it were possible to revive the iconic 80s Valley Girl, “We Like” would be the candy pink, hair-flipping mall rat of a song to do so. Just like their decades-old counterpart, dismissed for her vacuousness, so might this song be brushed aside for its repetitive chorus, which hinges on mere syllables. But, as one of many delightfully bratty moments, it’s a highlight in a track that bristles with confidence. It makes you yearn to join Pristin’s girl gang – in other words, it’s, like, totally bitchin’.
อันดับที่ 19: CAMO - BoA
With a career spanning two decades, BoA retains her queen status with the statuesque “Camo”. Key to its success is respect; despite K-Pop’s worship of youth, here everything accentuates BoA as she is rather than shoehorning her into the latest industry trends. US producers The Underdogs deliver stammering electropop that highlights her husky voice and, in a manner more performance art than pop video, the lyrics’ exploration of internal guises is portrayed via CGI and projections as beautiful as they are thought-provoking.
อันดับที่ 18: I (Knew It) - Sonamoo
Within its first 30 seconds, “I (Knew It)” collars you with the clean crispness of Spanish guitar, main vocal Minjae’s arch, poignant delivery and the echoing ‘I, I, I’ punctuating throughout like a homing signal. But Sonamoo have far more to give as the chorus comes to life, cleverly layered to where the guitar, trumpet and bass are vivid bursts yet allow for High.D to raise it an extra notch with her upper range. It’s taken nearly three years for Sonamoo to find this kind of magic, but the result is entrancing.
อันดับที่ 17: Black Suit - Super Junior
They’re missing members due to controversy (fans boycotting Sungmin due to his marriage) and military conscription (two years must be served before the age of 35), but the legendary SuJu rally as seven for their eighth album in 12 years. “Black Suit” strikes a remarkable balance between its showmanship, which hustles hard with whistles and toots of brass, and keeping a steady direction using bass lines from a 90s landscape of post-New Edition splinter acts. Its MV is as flashy and effective as it is nonsensical and entertaining, but perfectly caps this long-awaited revival of Super Junior’s charismatic pop royalty.
อันดับที่ 16: Knock Knock - Twice
Twice ride the final loop of 2016’s Twicecoaster album with a repackaging to include the single “Knock Knock”, where the ominous opening gives way to a sophisticated mix that matches the group’s knack for repetition with an instrumental that has a darker edge offset by upbeat vocals. The MV uses the bridge to round out last year’s ‘TT’ concept, which dislodges an avalanche of cuteness, and it’s literally impossible not to come away with the “na na na, knock on my door” refrain hooked deep inside your head.
อันดับที่ 15: Chase Me - Dream Catcher
Dreamcatcher’s influences – J-Rock, anime themes, pop rock via Evanescence – are old, yet for Korea’s female idols, this lean on squalling guitar riffs and galloping percussion is wholly new. “Chase Me” opens with pop-friendly vocals and tinkling keys, but the chorus gleefully grabs for the throat; tightly packed and sharply produced, it puts the girls in control visually with a glossy take on The Shining, while lyrically they lead a love interest on a futile pursuit. It’s K-Pop, but not as you know it.
อันดับที่ 14: Clap - Seventeen
In May, the EDM of “Don’t Wanna Cry” became a successful step in broadening Seventeen’s repertoire, but their rocket fuel mix of pop and funk, with whipcrack choruses and ebullient brass remains their ace. “Clap”, released after “DWC”, irresistibly corrals those strengths before adding a dirty great guitar riff, and this tougher version of Seventeen is buoyed by a video so incredibly detailed it requires repeat viewings. It too packages up their past by stuffing it with visual references to previous MVs, making “Clap” a celebration of their achievements but also a succinct departure gate into their future.
อันดับที่ 13: Energetic - Wanna One
For the winners of group survival show Produce 101 there is a contractually short shelf life, so Wanna One wasted no time in releasing the fan voted debut single, “Energetic”. With a mind to pleasing millions while still showcasing the talents of 11 members, “Energetic” takes a familiar route – a slow burn piano opener that elevates into a classy club thumper with a driving groove which never wastes a single beat. Rappers Daniel and Woojin propel the track’s middle forward with impressive force, leaving Jaehwan’s high ad libs to bring it victoriously over the finishing line.
อันดับที่ 12: Shangri-La - VIXX
After consistently exploring dark corners of their flamboyant pop, VIXX step onto new turf, where future bass meets sweeps of Chinese zither, their visuals a Zen-like world of lush pastels and flowers. “Shangri-La” is a fusion of opposing forces and delicate balance; jagged beats versus opulent lyrics, minimal verses into heavy choruses, and VIXX’s big vocalists Leo and Ken tempering their showiest moments as Ravi injects his raspy style of rap with a certain tenderness. It’s graceful, stylish and – in true VIXX tradition – stands alone amongst its contemporaries, but that’s always been where they shine brightest.
อันดับที่ 11: Remember - 9MUSES
The MV makes you wonder if the song’s subject – a toxic relationship – is its only target, but whether or not it’s a metaphor for women in the music industry it certainly amplifies the sinister atmosphere of world-weary verses shored up by an invasively throbbing bass and Sojin’s rap, underpinned by a guitar line that evokes Slash’s work on Michael Jackson’s “Give Into Me”. “Remember”s power move is the engulfing chorus – it’s a whirl of thumping beats, spoken word and high notes, but it’s also a dark, unsettling embrace that refuses to let go for a very long time.
