[PastelNr]

As much as I hate how Beautiful Monster ended too soon, I can forgive it for bringing back STAYC GIRLS

[suncooper]

Slayc eating as they should ! ! Also I just know last sequence will be stuck in your head later on, because, you know, SOTY. I also love how we collectively as a community forgot abt Loveade 🥲

[yoonite]

There’s so many bright, summery comebacks this July & then there’s ATEEZ tryna overthrow the government 😭😭 just realised you’re a swith SLAY.

[lilllie]

about the enhypen song, it's not that the song is terrible but it makes me think "wow this could have been so much better" and i hate when music makes me feel that way. when i look at their debut and drunk-dazed i just wonder where the artistry and melody of that went, and it makes their newer comebacks hard to enjoy for me.

[uwufles]

my top tt of the months were:
1. Nerdy- Purple Kiss
My soty, EVERY part is just so good and fits perfectly, the production is super clean and THE DAMN STRING SAMPLES ARE DELICIOUS, the verses are kinda better than the chorus but idc. Also, the dance break ate, best part of the song, gave me goosepumps.

2. Copycat - Apink Chobom
We love a good pop song! the slow down in the bridge was great and the concept was great, we love to see apink going back to GOOD MUSIC.

3. Girls - Aespa
All except the choreo was great, the vocals, the raps, the FUCKING NU-METAL GUITARS, they really never fail

4. Last Sequence - WJSN
5. Hyolin - No Thanks
6. Hype-boy - Newjeans
7. Mascara- XG
8. Heartburn - Sunmi
9. Attention - Newjeans
10. #MOOD - MCND

[sunghoonshii]

Personally I really loved svt and en- comeback. Stayc's comeback didn't hit me hard as their previous releases but it's good anyway.
As for aespa.. I liked it sonically, but the choreo is a bit boring for me..

[sapphia]

Not mentioned but attention by newjeans is just 😍 it's chill and chic, just like lesserfim's debut and i might not have liked it at first listen but now, i am obsessed. This group has bops made for pretty people. Also stay this way by fromis_9 isn so catchy like, their album too is just 🤲

[sunshine_hope]

Actually i really liked this seventeen comeback. I think it's the perfect song for summer but i still like hot more.

[seungcherryhae]

beautiful monster is just perfect. i loved it from the first listen TT

[kairaaanshi_]

Beautiful monster is a GROWER. STAYC knows nothing but slaying in fact 💅

[khairilmikdar]

for me, guerilla by ateez is absolutely the best comeback this month 🔥

[cao]

I’m beggingg kpop producers to stop making songs that end abruptly istg 😤 it’s one of my fave things when a song has a climax and a satisfying ending, otherwise it feels so empty

[ilyastepanov]

World was THE SONG for me. Like, I loved it so much and I don’t really enjoy hot. So, I guess, they reached different parts of fans with these songs which is good). I like that they don’t release only hard-hitting songs

[bttrlthnspncr]

Idk I personally really really liked _WORLD simply for the fact that it gave me some earlier SVT vibes but more mature and modern kinda like how ASTRO did After Midnight. Familiar, yet different and refreshing. I'm still surprised people don't like Blessed-Cursed, but Future Perfect was a great follow-up in my opinion. Though I will agree with you and say I think they should really try to branch out concept wise **COUGH COUGH** *RETURN TO THE VAMPIRE STORYLINE ALREADY UNLESS THEY'RE WAITING UNTIL THEY DEBUT THE &AUDITION GROUP* **COUGH**

[saisaipech]

just realized that winterosy is both a swith and a flover

and as a swith and flover myself, i think what makes us like stayc and fromis_9 are the following:

1. all members have distinct voices
2. isa and hayoung have heartwarming vocals
3. seoyeon, j, and sumin's jazzy voices spice up their groups' songs
4. both groups have flawless discographies. their b-sides slap hard!

and we can't deny that all members of these groups are beautiful

[ladiva]

'Copycat' and 'Beautiful Monster' are such bops.
You didn't mention Chung Ha, J-hope, Itzy and Viviz

[MeowMeow-yqef]

July has one of the best comeback songs, I enjoyed the majority of them! Can't wait for August, we're gonna hear new Twice, Blackpink, Ive and GG titles 🥰

[kpopfinale]

Nerdy it's just SOTY.
Same for girls, loveade and last sequence!!

[minaspinkytoe]

you described stayc so well. They really are a monster rookie group (even though the debuted in 2020), they deserve more recognition because they actually don't have any bad songs. Periodt.

[mehrchhabda]

i agree but this is my fav enhypen comeback to date becayse they were literally like "STFU IM NOT GONNA FIT IN UR BOX OF EXPECTATION" after the hate train on blessed-cursed...for me its literally(kinda biased)
