Time for the first post of 2021! Hope everyone had a good New Year. :)
I'm starting off with a couple of new K-pop videos. My last post just focusing on K-pop was in June, so it's been a while!
Note: Click "Subtitles/closed captions" on all the videos to see English subtitles! :)
BoA- Better
First up is Better by veteran singer BoA. It's from her 10th album, also called BETTER, and was released on 1st December.
BoA is one of the most popular Korean solo stars (she is also well known in other Asian countries), and celebrated 20 years in the music business last summer!
The BETTER album is BoA's 20th studio album (10th Korean language). The title track single also came out on 1st Dec.
For more BoA, check out her 2019 Christmas song Starry Night (I know Christmas has gone, but maybe you're missing it already!): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/12/christmas-songs-2019.html
KAI- Mmmh
This is Mmmh, the debut solo single of KAI (real name Kim Jong-in, or Jong-in Kim in the Western way) from boyband EXO and the supergroup SuperM. It's from his self-titled debut solo mini album which was released in November.
Mmmh actually came out on 29th November, so it's "new-ish" but I've been seeing the video a lot recently on the K-pop show Pops in Seoul. The song has a sultry vibe and sticks in your head.

NCT 2020- Resonance
Finally, here is RESONANCE, the new single from boyband NCT. The group is made up of several units, and this track sees all 23 members together. It is a compilation of 4 songs from NCT 2020 RESONANCE, the second studio album by the entire group.
The album was released in two parts, Part 1 on 12th October and Part 2 on 23rd November. All 21 members from current units participated and 2 new members joined, Shotari and Sungchan.
The sub units are NCT U, 127, Dream and WayV (China based). All the units have fixed members apart from NCT U, which changes members depending on the concept. RESONANCE is a mix of the songs Make A Wish (Birthday Song), 90s Love, Work It and Raise The Roof. It was released on 4th December.
