*+:。.。 Kpop Roundup 2023 。.。:+*

Hello everyone  and welcome to Kpop roundup for 2023! this is a yearly talk about my favorite kpop songs  from last year. A disclaimer, This list is based off of my personal tastes , Also I'm merely a kpop girl enjoyer  and am not a kpop industry or music expert by any means. Let's start with my top 10! 


 Hold on tight - Aespa 

Again aespa taking the 10th spot! I watched the tetris movie, which was an okay movie but the soundtrack had some gems including the aforementioned song from aespa. I love the OG tetris theme and it suits aespa's aesthetic a lot. This was my 2nd song on spotify wrapped. 

 Eve, Psyche and The blue beards wife - LE SSERAFIM

 This one only started to hit really late in the year, I really wish that it ended on that opening hook. It's a killer.

 Video Game - Heejin

I am so happy that we got so much post bbc loona content this year! So happy to see the girls moving on and making music/moves more on their own terms. Now I've really come to love this song so much, the lyrics for one are simply insane, which I'm obsessed with! Heejin got that strap.

 Je ne sais quois - Odd eye circle 

My favorite song from OEC (post-loona) hands down. It is THE the vibes! YES!

 Love Lee - Akmu 

This song sounds like Akmu incarnate it's so twee and cutesy and I just want to have fun always <3.

 Girls capitalism - TripleS

Winner of the best song title for sure, TripleS had some good stuff this year. Really fun and cute song we love to hear it, it's definitely for me.

 Perfect night - LE SSERAFIM

Top tier song and I think this really was emblematic of the vibes for pop music this year. And this might've pushed me into becoming a Le sserafim fan, proper. Despite being an iz*one fan I've been quite soft on Le sserafim, but this song is it for me.

 Queencard - G(idle) 

This might be controversial to put this song so high on the list, most people seem to dislike it or the silly lyrics. I, however a woman of culture and art think that "boob and booty hot" is a genius line, why? I don't have time to explain.

 Howl - Chuu 

Yeah I know,, she's my ULT this was inevitable. I do think this song is good at showing her vocal ability and is a nice tune, part of the song reminds me of frou frou or imogen heap, the electronica sound is a nice break from the jersey club/bubblegum pop jams I've been listening to throughout the year. Please support my girl!

And my favourite song of the year goes to. . .

 Sensitive - Loosemble

C'mon loosemble!!! There were a lot of good songs in 2023, there are always good songs even in the worst years. I really couldn't see myself picking any other song for my top spot. I think it sounds great, a really solid pop song, has ~aesthetics~ that I always look for in a song/visuals, and of course my attachment to loona wins over anything. Of course please support all the Loona members on their individual journeys!


Here are my bests of the year 

Best solo - Howl - Chuu

Best Debut song - SHHH - Kiss of life 

Best male group/Solo - Cream soda - EXO

   Fave album/EP - Loosemble - Loosemble

Honourable mentions for 2023 

Cherry talk - TripleS, Back to the city - Kepler, Do not touch - MISAMO, Seoul sonyo sound - TripleS, Selfish - YooA, Eunoia - Billie, Tanaka san - Dalsoobin,

  Holy moly - IVE, TAXI - Jo yuri, 7 HEAVEN - Purple kiss, Picture- HyoChill kill (album) - Red velvet, Unlock my world (album) - Fromis_9

Newtopia - Loosemble, Strawberry soda - Loosemble, Air force One- Odd eye circleMy palace - Chuu, Algorithim - Heejin


Pop music in 2023 was pretty sad honestly and listening to so much kpop can get super boring quickly, however we got a lot of post-bbc loona content which was incredibly important to me, if anyone is interested I admin an orbits of spacehey group (not much happens in the group but its nice to have).

Anyway thank you all so much for reading . I'd like to hear everyone's favorite kpop songs of the 2023! Or just comment your thoughts!


Love nv
