@RomanticIsa that's so cool! Congratulations on meeting so many goals! What is a circle planner, if I may ask? And if you're willing to share, what was your word for 2023?

I don't know that I've ever watched Steamboat Willie in its entirety before.

It is definitely... something.

OK, last entry, I swear!
#KPopMonday #BestKPopOf2023 has to include #SHINee's #Taemin and his mini album "Guilty." Wow. This prompted me to listen to every single solo album he's released (quite a few!) and add THIRTEEN of his songs to my regular playlists. I think I love him?

An absolute banger of an indie rock song is #TheRose's 2023 single "Back to Me." They rocked it live in concert, too.

It is fascinating to see the slow churn of this new instance getting recognized across the fediverse. What posts do I see and from whom? Hashtag searches don't bring up anybody other than me, yet.

Last night, I was looking at other instances' block lists and wondering how many of this I need to add *now* versus later, especially as I'm the only one here so far.

I keep meaning to sign that one Mastodon charter thing so this server can be listed for joiners, but get distracted! 😅

I crossed off a bucket list item in October of 2023 when I got to see #EricNam perform live in Minneapolis. It was fantastic. His latest album, "House On A Hill," speaks to those bruised emotional sectors in my brain, I love it so.

Another #KPopMonday #BestKPopOf2023 entry is his single "Don't Leave Yet."

Can we call #EpikHigh #kpop? Really?

For #KPopMonday #BestKPopOf2023, I will include the #kHipHop album "Strawberry" they released near the beginning of the year. It is short but so good.

I saw them perform live in Minneapolis in March in both 2022 and 2023 and they are pros.

Two great songs from that album:

Epik High - "On My Way (ft. Jackson Wang)"
https://youtu.be/rcJIKVIPUuU

Epik High - "Catch (ft Hwa Sa)"

@Sollenbum ooo, I thought the #kdrama #MyDearest was really excellently done. There are thematic similarities with "Gone With The Wind."

I mentioned the show during #EndOfYearDramaChallenge

More #KPopMonday #BestKPopOf2023 included my #ultbias D.O. #디오 from #EXO releasing his second solo mini album 기대 "Expectation". Again, no skips on this gem.

He had two catchy singles off of it, but my favorite remains "Lost", with a second acoustic version, too.

The second #kpop single off of #EXO's latest album I want to highlight for #KPopMonday #BestKPopOf2023 is the fantastic "Cream Soda."

EXO is known for their vocals and their intricate choreography. So I have to post one of their TV performances of this single so you can see just how amazing it was.

(Plus the hottest of their three performance outfits. D.O. with that deep v-neck is a *favorite*.)

#EXO is my favorite #kpop group and their new album "Exist" this year did not disappoint. I'm going to post TWO of their singles from it, because I can. 😁 You're welcome. 😘

First up is a fun, funky, laid-back, hanging out on the weekend song.

The second #KPopMonday #BestKPopOf2023 group that I played *constantly* was #StrayKids. When they released their album "5-STAR" it blew me away. Another no-skip album!

There is good reason why this album and group broke into the US music scene this year! The rock and rap sound is fun to listen to.

Oh, 2023 was a great year for #kpop for me.

I climbed out from under the rock where I must have been living and discovered #SHINee when they released their latest album "Hard". There are no skips on that album! At all! I had the first seven songs on heavy rotation for the past 6 months.
