  • The Stan Ontology Return and 2021 Roundup
    2022/04/26
    We're still alive and kicking! Promise! Here, have a playlist for all the songs we talk about this episode. I don't know how these work any more, let's just skip straight to notes: Claudia is very sorry for the audio ducking.Much like last time, these are the "songs we found interesting" of 2022, although Claudia wants you to know Key's BAD LOVE is the track of the year.Part of the SHINee comeback that we didn't mention but is worth knowing about: their take on the ending fairy trend, a trend in which the camera lingers on a single group member at the end of a performance, usually an opportunity for them to show off for the camera. You should check out the Don't Call Me/Atlantis B-sides. Try CØDE to start.You can find references to the fact that Don't Call Me was going to be a BoA song, but the only writeup in English I could find comes from allkpop. (CL: I wouldn't have linked to AKP if literally anyone else had written it up.)Don't Call Me relay dance is worth 4m of your time (though probably after you watch the MV proper)To reiterate: Don't Call Me (album) was released Feb 2021, Atlantis was released in April, Taemin's Advice came out in May, Superstar (Japanese EP) in late June, and Taemin enlisted on May 31.Here's posters detailing the contents of all four physical versions for BAD LOVE: Space Ray Gun, Box Set, Booklet, and (cassette) Tape.There's an interesting essay/interview with Key on Allure on being a pop star at 30.Minho - HeartbreakHahahaha actually DICE is out now and it's good and you should listen to it!It's in the playlist, but Sunmi did an interview about the song Borderline.Because I can, here's K-Food Party again.NCT Dream's (2022) song Glitch Mode also takes place in the coolest Best Buy in kpop so it's got that going for it too.And now aespa are at Coachella too! As their first live performance since debut!Here's Spotify's hyperpop playlist.Justice for HenderySusan Sontag, Notes on Camp (1964). Other definitions of camp are available.really if you must watch My Universe you can definitely find it yourselfDid we mention Weeekly - After School? Well, it's in the playlist, go check it out.First, listen to at least the end of the chorus in Apink's Dilemma. This was about my reaction the first time. Check out Brave Girls - Thank You!Chiming in from the future: while BIGBANG's comeback, Still Life managed to top the Korean charts, fan reception seems to be that this is a thinly veiled goodbye song, especially given T.O.P.'s departure from YG Entertainment (although he remains a part of the group).NCT Hollywood, announced in May 2021. We've not heard anything since.Epik High - Rosario. The concert was fun! And I was wrong - it wasn't a stopover for San Francisco, but for Coachella.

  • 1 – NCT U - The 7th Sense
    2021/04/29

    We're back! And there's no better way to kick off season 2 than with the MOST confusing of boy bands, NCT! Watch the Korean music video, the performance MV, or the live stage performance then hop back and join us. Onward to notes:

    • Lee Soo-man, 2016: Neo Culture Technology, the business presentation that was also one of the places where this new group was announced?
    • That meeting also includes snippets from a pre-debut version of The 7th Sense, with some notable changes like the overall mix, aesthetic, Haechan in the vocals, and the inclusion of Hansol, who quit SM before NCT's official debut.
    • The NCT member timeline chart so confusing it got removed from Wikipedia for violating accessibility guidelines. Here's its Venn diagram version (courtesy Twitter) which is no less unreadable.
    • English-subtitled video of Baekhyun and Sehun (EXO), and Taeyong and Jaehyun (NCT)'s stories of being street-cast. (MBS, KBS and SBS are three of the biggest TV networks in South Korea.)
    • And here's a video of NCT 127 desperately trying to explain NCT.
    • And as I was digging for those videos, it turns out that as late as the Superhuman promotions (2019, three years after NCT debuted) they're still wearing nametags on the talk shows.
    • How good are NCT? Well. Here's the Produce 101 trainees covering it.
    • Here's a clip from the actual show itself with the trainees' reactions to their fate.
    • Shotaro covering Taeyong's part in The 7th Sense, a last-minute sub for him after Taeyong was injured.
    • On that final note (justice for Winwin), here's the RainbowV special project choreo for Billie Eilish x Khalid's Lovely.
    • The s**t kingz official site link to their choreography (as the collective group).
    • I'm fairly certain this is the exact moment in Make A Wish's choreo that regs is talking about - let it run for about 15 seconds.
    • The other NCT songs we love: Touch (2018, NCT U), Superhuman (2019, NCT 127), Make A Wish (2020, NCT U), Cherry Bomb (2017, NCT 127)
    • Both NCT 2020's Resonance pt. 1 and pt. 2 (which was the repack) sold a certified million copies!
    • The not very good 23-member dance roundups: 2020's Resonance and 2018's Black on Black.

  • The Stan Ontology K-pop Roundup of 2020
    2020/12/22
    What a year it's been

    It's here! It's finally here! Listen to Stan Ontology crown the Taemin Of The Year, the peaks and nadirs of NCT, celebrate the output of some special soloists, revisit the Summer of Disco, and finish with a warm hug and a staggering, wild-eyed prophetic track about the vibe of this bizarre year, covering all of our favourite stuff in K-pop along the way.

    You can listen to all of the tracks that we discuss a listen via this end-of-year playlist - we've picked our favourite performances of these songs, but as always, there's a wealth of choreo vids and alternate versions we leave for you to find, dear listener.

    • For more crop-topped sweater goodness, here's TXT with Blue Hour.
    • Please mentally overdub Claudia saying "a notoriously controlling group" with "a notoriously controlling label"; she meant SM Entertainment, not SHINee.
    • Behind-the-scenes for That One Shot in the Naughty MV.
    • NCT Resonance also gave us Hendery with cat ears, the supreme project
    • weEEeeE baaAllinN'
    • Charlie Puth - Attention
    • We say "dribble" a lot, huh? May I propose that it was a dribbly year.
    • GFriend - Fingertip
    • Say it with us:  ✨ r e v i s i o n i s m ✨
    • Actually I will leave it to you to imagine what "rice withdrawal" feels like, the context being "when I first left to go to uni in the US" - Claudia.
    • Shaun - Way Back Home
