Kpop Comeback EXO-SC

          I have to admit, even though I have Baekhyun’s albums I’ve been waiting on unboxing them until I have the full set but I couldn’t wait to talk about EXO-SC’s full album comeback. There are three different versions of the album and I got them all but of course, they have not arrived yet. So I’m going to talk about the MVs and the digital version which I do have.

          The album has 8 songs, 4 of them feature different artists alongside Chanyeol and Sehun. The songs are as follows:

1. 1 Billion Views (featuring MOON) 

2. Say it (featuring PENOMECO) 

3. Rodeo Station

4. Telephone (featuring 10cm)

5. Jet Lag

6. Fly Away (featuring Gaeko)

7. Nothin’

8. On Me

The digital album also has an instrumental version of 1 Billion Views and a Digital Booklet. 

         Of these eight songs, Nothin’ is a Chanyeol Solo and On Me is a Sehun Solo. We have MVs for 1 Billion Views, Telephone, Nothin’, and On Me. 

          What I love most about this album is that When it comes to lyrics Sehun and Chanyeol are credited on every song, except on Chanyeol’s solo where Sehun was not. Music-wise Studio 519 (Chanyeol’s studio) is credited on 3 songs: Telephone, Fly Away, and Sehun’s solo On Me. The whole album’s length is around 31 minutes. 

          Most of the songs are hip hop, trap hip hop, R&B hip hop, and R&B. The whole album Is no skip. Every song has an amazing beat and the lyrics are just...I have no words. I always knew that Chanyeol is a multitalented king but the surprise in this album is Sehun. Their debut album already showed just how much talent Sehun has vocal wise but this album REALLY showcased it so well. Our baby is all grown up y’all!!! His vocals are on point! Plus from the interviews, we know that both of them had put their foot down when SM tried to mess with their choices for the album. So our boys also flexed some muscles to give us this masterpiece. Now let me end this with the MVs. Watch these beauties and STREAM STREAM STREAM people!!!!

Kpop News: Miscellaneous

          I'm going to start by bragging a little. I've always loved Lee Sunhee's songs, but then I found out that she herself sought out Chanyeol for a Collaboration, and my respect for her increased. She was able to see just how awesomely talented Chanyeol is and went for it. The result is stunning! Their voices compliment each other so well, I am so proud of our Chanyeol. Please check out this masterpiece!

And the lyrics for the song.

          Next, I want to brag about Sehun, our baby. He has been quite busy! Season 3 of Busted is confirmed for release sometime this November 2020. He is also now confirmed to be in Pirates 2 alongside Kang Ha Neul and Lee Kwang Soo. 

        Now both he and Chanyeol are also preparing for their comeback as EXO-SC sometime in July! I can’t wait!!!

        One of my favorite groups is TVXQ, I’m a Cassiopeian on top of being an EXO-L and proud of it. I was so happy to hear the news that Changmin was getting married in September.

I’m so proud of my fellow Cassiopeians in the way they handled the news. They were pretty mature about it and I’m glad for Changmin. And extremely happy for him.

I also found it a little ironic that the same Knetizens who are calling for Chen to exit EXO despite the wishes of the EXO members themselves are the same ones that are congratulating Changmin on his upcoming nuptials. Cognitive dissonance much??!! 

          I could have sworn that I talked about Lay’s new Album Lit but apparently, I have not so let me talk about it here. Just like its name the album is awesome in every way. I love the fusion he did between Chinese music and western music without either one losing its flavor. 

The album has 6 songs. The songs are:

1. Lit

2. Jade

3. Eagle

4. H2O

5. Fly

6. Soul

Also, this is only part one of the album apparently but we still don't know much about the second half. All the songs are fire and depending on my mood my favorite will change so I’m just going to leave you with the MV.

This is the MV for Lit.

While this is not an MV, it is still an amazing song and picture from Lay. This is Jade.

Kpop Haul #3 and News - July 2019

This month has been a roller-coaster for EXO-Ls. We got a new sub-unit, we got a solo album, we lost another member to the military and we got a new concert. The concert I won’t be talking too much about because I’ve only seen bits of it (which I really enjoyed!). So let’s start. 

In the beginning of the month, D.O. went into the military. On the first of July he also dropped a solo song as a goodbye for his fans. It was beautiful and every time I listen to it I feel like he is patting me on the back and telling me that everything will be alright, part of the song says 괜찮아 which means That’s Okay and that is also the name of the song.

Take a listen to the beautiful song.

We also got some pretty pictures of the boys sending D.O. off including Lay, who was very busy prepping for his solo concert, but still found the time to come see him off. 

On July 10, City of Lights, Baekhyun’s solo Album dropped. I had already pre-ordered the Album (there are two versions) but of course I had to get the digital version too because I needed to hear that album NOW. As usual, Baekhyun did not disappoint. The album was AMAZING!! 

Here is the tracklist:

1. UN Village
2. Stay Up (ft. Beenzino)
3. Betcha
4. Ice Queen
5. Diamond
6. Psycho

My favorite favorite songs of the whole album are: 

UN Village: The sound, the MV, the moves! Just everything.

Betcha: This song is so dang catchy!

Now let us look at the physical albums:

The two versions are Day and Night. 

It came with a folded poster. 

A booklet. 

And a card. 

A book. 

All that is the Day Version. 

The Night Version.

A poster. 

A booklet. 

A card.

A book 

All that is the Night Version.

Another thing that happened this month is that a new sub-unit was formed in EXO. This sub-unit is made up of Sehun and Chanyeol. You know that the Maknae is on top when his name appears before his hyung on the name of the sub-unit which is EXO-SC. The album dropped on July 22, 2019 and there are three versions. One which has a picture of both of them on the cover (yellow) and one with Chanyeol's picture (green) and one with Sehun (red). I just realized that the three albums should be lined up in a certain order so I'll take a new photo and add that in so you can see.

The Tracklist is:

1. What a life
2. Just Us 2
3. Closer to you
4. Borderline
5. Roller coaster
6. Daydreamin'

I have not chosen a favorite yet because I love them all but here are the MVs for some of the songs.

What a life

Just Us 2

Closer to you

So starting with the Yellow version. Here is everything in the packet.

A folded poster with both Chanyeol and Sehun.

A Tag

A book that lays flat which is my favorite kind of book.

A CD

A postcard sized card.

A sticker.

A card, can you tell Sehun is the maknae?? Also a dork, but he is still our baby golden boy.

All that was in the yellow packet.

A folded poster of Sehun...Look at that beautiful boy!

A tag.

A book that lays flat.

A CD

A postcard sized card.

A card of Chanyeol, that giant baby knows how to take a picture ❤

A sticker.

And for some reason this version had two cards, not that I am complaining lol.

All that was in the red version.

A folded poster of Chanyeol, and like I said previously, our happy virus really knows how to take a photo.

A tag.

A book that lays flat.

A CD.

The cover of the book.

A sticker.

A card of Sehun. This reminds me of a picture that D.O. took for Universe if I am not mistaken...looks like Sehun already misses his hyung.

A postcard sized card.

All that is the green version.

I love how the Chanyeol version had a lot of Sehun in it while the Sehun version had a lot of Chanyeol in it. I wasn't happy with SM because I felt like they short changed the boys with the logo and the versions but then when I saw the actual copies and heard the songs I felt like the versions fit well with the concept the boys were going for.

And this is it for the July Haul.
