I decided to do this challenge because although my kpop collection is extensive there are still so many songs that i dont know, or i've heard of but have never listened to :sweat_smile:
................................ LET'S GO! ......................................
Song: Really Really
Artist: Winner
Release Date: 2017
So i know who Winner are but i know very little about them and ive never purposefully listened to any of their music. I dont have a particular reason either. The most i know about them is that Mino is a member (i love him on Journey To The New West) :sweat_smile:
The Song:
This song is a TUNE!! Its so catchy! I listened to it specifically for this challenge and ended up playing it about 3 times over :joy: its so cheerful and kind of gives me road trip vibes.
As i said, ive never really listened to Winner before and now im kind of regretting it, they are good!! Their voices go together so well and i love the way Mino raps, kind of lazily but in a good way!
The lyrics are so cute too, a guy confessing to a girl but not in the typical ballard style that you hear so often. I think my favourite part is Jinwoo's "neol johahae" :heart_eyes:

Song: Its Ok to not be Ok
Artist: As One feat. Lee Dae Hwi
Release Date: 2019
Ive not heard of As One before so i was intrigued as to what the song would be like. I do know Lee Dae Hwi both from his time in Wanna One and as a member of AB6IX and he has the voice of an angel its so soothing, so i was really excited about hearing this.
The Song:
The title of the song is one of the things that drew me to it. I feel like the subject of this song is so relevant currently, at a time when mental health is under more scrutiny and people's difficulties are being brought to light more and more. And this resonates hard within the kpop world especially.
The voices of artists go really well together although it was Dae Hwi that stood out for me, evwn though his part is small. As One are really good but they have the kind of breathy , high pitched vocals i tend to not listen to.
The lyrics are meaningful, talking about how its alright to feel down, things get better and theres someone to lean on and give . My favourite part is the English line "its ok not to be ok", as it really drives home the message of the song.

So that's it! Hope you enjoyed reading this blog as much as i enjoyed creating it :grin: It has motivated me to check out more of my unknown songs!!
