took off last week for personal reasons but I'm back with another MuBank update! 😃

☀️ I'm really happy that both blitzers and evnne have finally come out with songs I like - blitzers' performance especially was really fun and colorful 😄🌈 h1-key and craxy did great ☀️

WTF award - ✨🪅 Rocky 🍍✨ because wtf is this singing style? it's like he thinks he's woodz but he's not - great dancing/acting though

best stage this week -✨🏆 TRENDZ 👑✨!!!
the stars aligned perfectly for them this week - super charismatic and flawless performance + lovely pink/purple background with matching pink outfits 💗💗💗

and best stage for last week - ✨🏆 WAYV 👑✨
very cool and high quality performance ✨✨

was there an unofficial theme today? so many people were wearing white/light blue - whib, fantasy boys, hynn, artms, nicole's backup dancers, newjeans, and sunmi!!! in artms' case it was perfect because it relates to the tenshi kawaii/cyber angelcore aesthetic. kep1er bucked the trend with light blue + black, which ended up looking really cool

🌸 spia - i like the ending of this choreo where they line up and strike a pose one by one 🌸 unexpectedly fantasy boys are back - they are all so adorable 🩵🩵🩵 trendz - cool performance and yechan adorable ending fairy 🌸 hynn was great 🌸 everglow's new choreo is really cool 🌸 wayv were great but the flashing green background made it hard to watch 🌸

I was thinking there wasn't gonna be any WTF award this week but at the last minute Sunmi came through with a weird and awkward stage - the lip fillers, the fake facial expressions, singing "I'm a balloon" while making the shape of a balloon, so many weird movements in the choreo, randomly crawling on the floor - take your pinata and pineapple queen 🪅🍍✨

best stage goes once again to ✨🏆 ARTMS 👑✨
another perfect and beautiful performance 🕊️ the crowd was very loud today and the members looked really happy 🩵☁️

1st week of June Kpop~ ☀️☁️

Hong Sungjoon (BDC Seongjun) has made his solo debut!! 💗💕
I really like that he named his first song "Fine" after BDC's fandom, reassuring fans that "everything's gonna be fine"

KNK announced a cute barista fan event 🩷
For a minute I got deja vu thinking Hyunjong looks like Seoham 😂
Dongwon is so handsome 💕💕

🌸 new song recommendations 🌸
✧ Hong Sungjoon To You ✧ TWS hey! hey! ✧ Kep1er Double Up! ✧

💗 throwback bops 💗
✧ KNK I'll Try (2016) ✧ VIXX 사랑인걸까? (2018) ✧
✧ Solji 손 닿을 만큼 (2019) ✧

final note 🦋 i couldn't resist the opportunity to use my neocities domain with bluesky. there's now a bluesky tab in your site settings that tells you how to set it up. some more kpop fans are showing up from indonesia lately so it feels more lively. don't know what i'll do with the account but it's nice to have it 😊

today's episode of music bank~ 🍡☁️

dxmon are back again to brighten everyone's day ⛅ I love how absurdly passionate they are about this song 😂 ʏᴏᴜ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴄʜᴇᴇʀ ᴜᴘ ᴏʀ ᴇʟsᴇ ☀️

tws - I love their new song, a bit chaotic and very cute stage, totally loved it 🩵 wayv were very cute too, especially ten 🩷 jd1 - I like the mario jump in the choreography 🪙🍄 nicole (kara) - glam retro stage 🪩👍 suho's new song is cool 🛸 kep1er - cool song and great stage ✨

✨🪅 WTF award 🍍✨ goes to Han Seungwoo!
idk if this is his normal personality but he decided to just come out and be a goofball lol 😂

✨🏆 Best Stage 👑✨ goes to ARTMS again!

as for Cpop - I've decided it's not sustainable for me to keep listening to so much. I've found the channel ORT Music which I think generally has good music taste, so I think that and Peachey Blossom for OSTs will be enough for me to keep up with Chinese music for now 🪷
