Omg just got done reading the two lists, here are my favorite bits:

Quote

9. Sunmi – Pporappippam

 However, now, after several accidents (*links to Gotta Go and Lalalay*), Sunmi managed to fully learn her lesson and simultaneously earn her best song as of yet.

Quote

5. Apink – Dumhdurum

Better to go on a high, and seriously few have managed to reach the heights of “Dumhdurum”, than see yourself become the next coming of Super Junior.

Quote

Taemin – Criminal

Between getting caught up as the babysitter of SM’s latest unruly crew and getting shown up in a disasterpiece nugu show Road to Kingdom, Taemin’s 2020 was a hell of a ride but at least it ended with the underwhelming “Idea” easily his best song to date, “Criminal”.

 

Your paragraphs on Dumhdurum, Criminal, Pporappippam, Mago, Apple, So Bad and Star spoke to me on a spiritual level! Ngl I for one am actually upset at the lack of a worst of 2020 and dishounorable mentions list (I was looking forward to some NCT roasts even though I kinda stan for them hihi), but I understand how much time goes into these and I am still immensely satisfied with all the content that you have given us on your blog this year 

And as always, there are so many artists and songs that I'm discovering through your blog, ones that have completely flown under most K-Pop stans' radar, so thank you for introducing me to more undeground star quality 

 

Everyone who visits this thread better go check out Vilppu's end-of-year lists, they're highly entertaining! And it's as clear as Sunmi's skin that more effort and research goes into them than goes into any of these MTV / Paper mag / Billboard / etc end-of-year lists!!

Thank you, this means a lot ✌

Re: NCT, honestly the only song of theirs I found to be really bad this year was Work It, and even that could've maybe escaped a dishonourable mention. There's been a lot of worse stuff lately, from SM even (mainly Hyoyeon, Changmin, Suju's 2YaYao). On the other hand, Kick It/Misfit were actually on my shortlist for the good end of the year-end.

Yup Yup SM said it <3 can't wait, I think we will have SHINee for more one 1 and 1/2 year before Taemin has to Enlist after that either they will make a sub Unit probabbly the 3 of them or Onew X Key  while Taemin is on service
