Top 10 K-Sci-fi for 2019 [K-Pop] ~ Ash2theb

Hey Subbies,

Time sure does fly...
Well, this year the most popular of the themed concept songs were Fantasy ones. But I had a hard time choosing with the multiple releases from artists. I had to figure if I wanted to add Chungha's and Twice's other songs that were released recently. Snapping was give me major Athena vibes epecially after watching K.A.R.D's Dumb Litty video. To add on to that, Fancy was a clear winner since me trying to learn the dance was literally a no go but I Feel Special was too special to put on this list but it's still on my playlist because of the clear connections to one another. I Feel Special had my whole body hurting so I would recommend it for a full-body workout lol. Anyways, please enjoy the songs and you find my playlist on my Spotify.

Too bad, it’s already 12
What to do? It’s already 12
I know you don't want to let me go
I know, how you feel it
I wanna whisper love to you with the music
I know we're both feeling the same thing but
Gotta go, gotta go, 12 o’clock
I know we're both thinking the same thing, but
But I can’t be any more honest past this point
Gotta go, gotta go, 12 o’clock"

Got7 - Eclipse
I feel Moony | Fantasy

Jackson: The song itself is about security and insecurity, being secure and being insecure. So in our situation, for instance, we’re rising result-wise. We’re performing, we’re touring around the world, arenas are getting bigger and bigger, the members are getting bigger and bigger, the fandom is getting bigger and bigger. Everything is in good terms. But at the same time, while we’re rising, we realize we’re reflecting on ourselves by thinking, “Oh, is this going to end someday? Is it going to go on forever? Are the fans going to be with us after 10 years?” These are the insecurities that we feel.

Here I go again, no
The darkness comes in my mind again
I stumble and our dreams fade away
We have to get away from it, before the darkness swallows us
Struggle for the win, find the balance
I won't let go of the light called "you"
I’m gonna win this fight"

Oh My Girl - The Fifth Season
Oh My Everything | Fantasy

There's a tree back far
I see the fifth season
I felt the first time
Your name makes me jump
You know, if you love
I can tell
Be sure not to be confused
I can recognize it
Now I was sure who he was
Lalalalalalala
You bloom to me
Dizzy like haze
Lalalalalalala
You are pushed to me
A dream that opens up both eyes"

I’ll be happy, make me overwhelmed by delight
If you’re not confident, goodbye
The sweet words without sincerity
Thank you but sorry, ooh, ooh
Will you answer me? %%
Please, come out in the blink of an eye
It can’t be anyone, %%
Please come out while I’m sleeping
%%"

Epik High - Love Drunk
Epik Tug | Fantasy

This isn’t me getting ruined
It’s my body and my heart that only knew you
Trying to grow new skin
It’s just a seasonal transformation
I’ve taken you off, now I’m naked
Put on the scars and I’m trying
I’m mixing alcohol with alcohol
Mixing poison with poison
Trying to be cured, it’s kind of novel
It’s harmful but so is love
You can’t really see how flower paths are really thorn paths"
