Generic songlist intro: Had mostly completed this a month ago, felt I ought to say something about some of these, hence the delay in posting. Here's the YouTube playlist:

You may remember that Soyul from Crayon Pop pulled out of group activities because of a panic disorder, and then got married. Now it turns out that she's pregnant and it was a shotgun wedding.

I'm just amazed you got an embed to work.

With you on Pristin and KARD. Other stuff I've liked:
Red Velvet, "Rookie"
Twice, "Knock Knock"
Lovelyz, "WoW!"
X0809, "Ho"
Enrique Iglesias ft. Descemer Bueno & Zion and Lennox, "Subeme la Radio"
GFriend, "Fingertip"
Olga Buzova, "Privykayu"
Nego do Borel ft. Anitta & Wesley Safadão, "Você Partiu Meu Coração"

and this is actually from 2016 but I'm going to throw it in to see if I can embed in [Dreamwidth] comments and also I've had it on repeat half the day:

I love the AsSun track. Would suspect he runs into the same cultural opposition as Ninety One has, though perhaps he's not well enough known for this to be an issue.

He doesn't sound like what I think of as Q-pop,* though one of the YouTube commenters seems to be crediting him with being the founder of Q-pop. [See update below.] You likely know way more about this than I do.

"Knock Knock" is atop my private "Borderlines 2017" playlist and is pretty insistently knocking on the door of the mainlist, owing to its extreme catchiness. It'll no doubt be let in shortly. My barrier so far is the generic so-what singing, though notice that that's not a barrier for me and CLC.

Just listening to the Triple H single now (365 Fresh), and I'm real disappointed. Has a very good dance rhythm hailing from the disco-funk median strip. But I'm not getting a lot of melody or personality, beyond HyunA being immediately recognizable as HyunA. The two Pentagon guys sing well, but don't have anything memorable to sing. The song is put together by ( ... )

Fwiw, I've been knocking around the 'Net today doing a little research and I discover (1) that K.A.R.D seem to be promoting far more in the Western Hemisphere and Europe than in Korea, and (2) their music is supplied by Nassun, Bigtone, and EJ Show, who've been in the business for almost a decade, working with E-Tribe back in the day. In 2008 Nassun was a guest on Lee Hyori's "U-Go-Girl." "Rumor" and "Don't Recall" are head and shoulders above most everything else I'm finding from them, though, so I'm pessimistic they'll keep the streak going.

S.E.T have just debuted with a techno-trot sound and a concept that might be called a bit silly.

But they can also handle a non-ironic, non-retro sexy concept.

The last one sounds like a mixture of 2NE1 and Hwang Insun's equine anthem.

Hwang Insun inadvertently reminds me of Monty Python And The Holy Grail.

On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
