kpop GEMS and FLOPS of 2021 (no nct sticker slander in this list) 

2022 Version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vvtwE8lzi0o.html *btw I forgot to add commentary during hoshi‘s spider but just so you guys know I fkn ADORE it!!!!!!!!!!!! ok that’s it **ALSO I FORGOT LIBIDO BY ONLYONEOF WAS RELEASED IN 2021 SO SHAME ON ME THAT SONG SHOULDVE BEEN IN HERE IM SO SORRY

Taemin and Baekhyun literally just dropped absolute bangers and then took off to the military. Damn...

FINALLY someone that thinks sticker is good and agrees that queendom is just ok

i just think that the soloists shined a lot last year. woodz was just eating left and right the entire year, hoshi had spider, sunmi had tail, taemin had advice, baekhyun had bambi & get you alone, kang daniel had paranoia, youha had abittipsy LIKE WOW

Idk why people hate sticker. I was iffy on the first listen but by my second listen I loved it. That's the thing with Nct 127 title tracks, sometimes you just have to give them a few more listens and you'll fall in love with them.

MY BABY SAYS SHE WANNA DANCE WITH A GHOST SHE WANTS TO LEAVE ME HUH? the way that nct had me in a CHOKEHOLD all of 2021 is beyond me. sis you should've just put all of freeze in the video because txt did their thang.

Txt’s music is literal gold and people need to stop saying it isn’t

Baekhyun releasing bambi was his way of serving the country idk why he still had to go to the military🤔

TXT is growing WAYY too much on me. ✋😭, the freeze album is just- 👨‍🍳😽, like I wanna get married to that album

literally nothing can top the bridge in bambi and i stand by that

no but like, txt really stepped up their game this year. As a predebut Moa, they get better each comeback, I'm always sure they can't top what they did last time but somehow they always do? Anyways, I know I love you became my favorite song in kpop actually, like everything about it is so good. Freeze is at least one of the best (not to say the best) albums of the year, and thank god it showed on the charts, specially on the USA. The repackage was amazing, and I truly can not wait to see what they are preparing for this new year. Also, the choreos? I don't even know how they can all keep up with that oh my god. Anyways, TxT truly understood the assignment 🤝

Woodz is literally one of my favourite soloists. For me he just never misses!

I was meh about sticker on the first listen but after a few days of leaving it alone, my brain was blasting it on repeat and I went back to it and yeah… it’s amazing.

“We need you more than the military does” Mad facts, AND MA’AM THE WAY YOU LISTED BAMBI AT THE TIME OF THE SPARKS, I think I got pregnant 🤰🏽 i love you, I barely see anyone bring up how good Baekhyuns solos are. I loved this playlist, definitely forced me to listen to songs I haven’t gotten a chance to hear. Editing was mad clean and fit well with every mv you listed. Respect 5000 ✊🏼

Y'know when you love a song so much you get a crush on it? Yeah that's 0x1= lovesong

Actually all TXT songs are gems. Periodt.

TXT and every song on both albums and repackaged album but ESPECIALLY Frost SAVED 2021 for me. This year was not my favourite kpop year sorry to say it but mostly disappointed with a lot of cb or debuts but TXT never failed to deliver for me and they continuously surprised and delight me with their music!

Tbh I liked TXT because the songs can work either separetly or as a whole and you don't get bored. I can't wait for them to release more music! They're doing such a great job

the impact that 0x1=lovesong had on me is quite literally incomparable, it wasn’t my #1 spotify song for no reason 😌🥴

why does everyone hate and thinks hot sauce is a flop , i can understand the fact that its your opinion BUT BESTIE WHAT TT THAT SONG IS SUCH A GOOD COMEBACK AND THE SONG ITSELF FROM THE RAPS - THE DANCES- VOICES - MV TO THE VISUALS EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT , yes lowkey unexpectable to see nct dream coming with it but still it SLAPS, what's missing though? the beat , the catchy vibe , vocals , dance i dont get why most of you'll hate it TT well probably not the best nct dream or 2021 release but as a comeback and a title track tis such a strong one :) after all its my opinion i do respect others though-

Sf9 really suits this concept really. I loved this concept since “Now or Never” and have been a fan eversince. Also man NCT’s songs are bops, even hot sauce. After giving sticker more listens it sounds better now but NO ONE CAN FREAKING TOUCH MY FAVORITE cause that song is 🤌🏻🤌🏻

Taemin’s advice was pretty damn good honestly. And yes queendom was kind of a let down but whatever it’s average I guess. It’s just that the expectations were high considering it’s red velvet :|

imo hot sauce was an average song, it wasn't bad... but it had ton of emotional value - 7dream, dream 1st full album, jisung's comeback etc so overall the mood in the fandom was so much fun!! So whenever I listen to hot sauce it's like a time capsule... So i really cherish that song a lot but I have to definitely agree that if I'm recommending someone new an NCT dream song, it would not be hot sauce🚶🏽‍♀️(I think we can collectively agree that hello future>>>>)

favorite (vampire) was truly the highlight for me with nct last year, they ate that shit up and shut all others down. hot sauce who? sticker maybe? but favorite? THAT BITCH. point blank PERIDOT

When I tell you even my dad loved Frost…

txt always made perfect discography

WayV Action Figure and Kick Back along with Ten's Paint me Naked

2021 i finally started stanning enhypen and txt and istg the best decision of my life cause txt music makes me feel like every song is a different piece of art and enhypen hasn't released that many songs yet but so far they have all been gems tbh

NCT NEVER MISSES 😩✨

okay but in all honesty, txt doesn't have a /SINGLE/ bad song. they're all so flipping good i don't know how they do it but

I also became a moa this year, it was when I listened and saw the 0X1 comeback, it was just THAT impactful

Ox1= lovesong is just... ART

I feel yu 2021 was the year i stanned TXT for good The ALBUM just SLAPS It's the best 2021 k album for me!!!! Everything as bout them is perfection

I trust your taste and I agree with most of these choices. Txt were the best for me last year. 0+1=Lovesong blew my mind. I've never heard a song like that in kpop before rand the boys pulled it off so we'll. I don't even stan but after the frost album I had to get into them

for me txt and nct ate

I LOVE Hot Sauce, but I have to admit all the other songs on the album are way better than her... like have you heard My Youth? Rocket? ANL? THEY BUSSIN' I think Diggity had an immense title track potential.

I really like your format and editing. I loved both Sticker and Hot Sauce. Attention Please did rock right. Didn’t feel Alcohol Free either. Thrill Ride was a blast.

I really agree completely with you I am really sad that many people's are still sleeping on txt's talent

I literally want txt lover loser and lovesong tattooed on my body that's how good they are and if you listen to lover loser after love song you'll know what heaven is like

Sticker is such a banger, idk why ppl hates it

Txt, Shinee, and StayC are never gonna stop going beyond my expectations, idk what the heck they are doing but they are doing it so well. An honorable mention from my part would be Gaho, cause his discography is constantly growing beautifully and it deserves all sorts of hype.

Personally TxT and Enhypen was my favorites this year. I've been TxT's fan since their debut and i know all their songs are BOP but in 2021 they really slapped me in the face HARD. Like i can't tell u how much i obsessed over Lovesong and Loser x lover😭😭 Also anti-romantic, magic, no rules, freeze. I swear if i was in my dying bed my last wish would be play TXT in my funeral, srsly my love for them is going bit too strong. Also Enhypen, like i didn't even know Hybe made new group i was like maybe if they good i'll listen and then i was again slapped with Drunk-Dazed and 2021 was very good for them too. Dimension: Dilemma was amazing album, for a very new group they are very succ3now and very much deservingly so. Also about Nct, sorry but i like hot sauce better🗿🗿 I mean both hot sauce and sticker were good songs, not nct's best but good songs regardless and while i loved sticker on my first time i would say i like hot sauce better. But actually forget those Favorite was the best, like it gave me kind of old kpop vibe but i really loved this song. Also I really liked Wayv's Acrion Figure too. Also paranoia, bambi, advice, waiting👁👄👁 They need to chill with all these masterpieces cuz my heart was not ready to get hit by these good solo songs, like they are 'good' good. I don't even know what to say but anyway TXT slapped me, Enhypen was a pleasing discovery, Nct's Favorite was the best song periodt, 2021 was a wild year for solo male artists🤧✨✨✨

sticker is a very interesting song for me bc it’s what catapulted me to a full time czennie but it took me 2 whole days on repeat for it to finally sink its claws in. verdict is: definitely not a flop, not when she’s a million seller & won them awards. nct b-sides rarely disappoint. They have so many gems this year!! I JUST HAVE TO SAY MIRACLE IS SO UNDERRATED!! i forgot i use to casually listen to txt goddamn i need to listen to their recent releases. from what i’ve seen here, pretty sure i’m in for a wild ride. they kind of remind me of day6 for some reason. i love it when a group can literally move me with their releases! i’m so excited to dive into woodz omg!! from what you’ve sampled here, he might be the next fave soloist for me.

no no bestie ily but hot sauce?? pls i loved it 😰 but like you said sticker really outsold half of the industry 💪🏽😋 the sticker album was good too, like come on at least it didn't deserve the hate it got 🙄 last thing, universe was a no skip album honestly idgaf what ppl say nct went to the studio and decided to eat the plate too with no crumbs in sight im tbh not even gonna accept any arguments towards this one its been on repeat 😭😭

Honestly Shinee and TXT 2022 >>> Not that they weren't good before but especially for TXT they just really had my mind in a chokehold, Loser=Lover and I Know I Love You were the only kpop songs to make it onto my Spotify top 100 actually

I didn't necessarily like sticker when I first heard it but man I am obsessed

I'm right with you there regarding TXT! I went from thinking they were good but not paying that much attention to them to being blown away with their newer emo-pop punk music and beyond. NCT 127's Sticker is great and Favorite Vampire is beautiful. Who knows? Maybe, some people aren't open to different sounds? PTD, is like PT...go back to making more new music(that doesn't sound just like this)

9:39 YOU'RE ME, I'M YOU!!!! txt discographies never disappoint me, personally. and i think we have same taste of musics! 14:55 YEA BESTIEEE 0X1LOVESONG IS KING OF KPOP

Sticker by far was definitely better than Hot Sauce, I still listen to that song on replay!!! By far queendom and Lalisa were the biggest flops of 2021!! And Personally TXT saved 2021!!! Bops after bops they never disappoint!!!

Honestly permission to dance was such a huge flop for me because the rap line didnt get their chance to shine. And im sooo glad i found someone who loved sticker as much as me. It was a little strange at first but the more i listened the more I loved it.

Nct has that neo style to them ,some ppl might find it noisy or loud or out of sync but I personally think all their sings are chef's kiss . Sticker favorite hot sauce hello future all of them are soooooooo good still not over them And aespa is bringing such good music to the table how can someone hate those talented brilliant girls I'm a fan

Sticker/favorite album, peaches album, savage, and all txt songs were played an unhealthy amount by me

Focus is definitely one of my favs on the sticker album It’s so ducking good!

im not a even a moa and im a nctzen but txt really stepped up their game last year and i can never get to like hot sauce😭 in fact i really hate that song, i really like hello future tho

Don't call me was a total bop and bridge part is my fav too. Our choice match a lot, I also didn't liked alcohol-free that much, it lacked that Twice vibes Also PTD was kinda okay, Butter is way more better than it (don't attack me, I just put my opinion)

i'm just enjoying the captions that you wrote everytime txt appears lmao. i love it a lot. indeed, txt in 2021 hits hard.....that emo punk rock era is just legendary. txt always produced top quality songs in their album, both for EP and studio album and this album freeze is insane

I just want to say THANK YOU FOR PUTTING FOCUS ON HERE. I literally listened to this song non stop. Everyone should listen to this song at least once in their life.

I could easily say woodz was the best soloist this year (I will fight whoever tell me otherwise), I think he is one of the best soloists in the moment and people still sleeps on him, he should be huge!!!

2021 was THE year for soloists. paranoia, bambi, tail, and spider especially were like some of my fav songs of last year even though i normally prefer groups to soloists in kpop

Sticker is one of my favorite songs in 2021 and was literally the first ever kpop album I bought too. No way that flopped and I'm glad you agree 😌

sticker is a fkn masterpiece

The disrespect to hot sauce, I won't allow this. Like what am I hearing that you aren't, what are you hearing that I'm not. Hot sauce is an amazing song along with sticker.

let's be bestie's if u loved sticker from the first listen😌🤝🏻

• FEEL LIKE is a gem, i literally love all WOODZ songs • Tear Drop is really good, SF9 are going to rule the k-pop industry • Spider is absolutely one of my favorite 2021 songs, never getting bored of listening to it • LALISA was a flop sadly, but i like the rap part.

BAEKHYUN we need you. • Helium is really good, and the same goes for all the other songs in the album • i don't really like Hot Sauce • Attention, please! is quite good, but i didn't listen to it a lot.

i thought it was just me who wasnt feeling 2021 kpop. Especially the ones that started coming out after lockdown ended. But some groups like ive and txt started redeeming it for me

NOT THE HOT SAUCE SLANDER

I honestly lost touch with lots of my favourite groups this year, there were a few good songs but overall 2021 just wasnt a good kpop year imo but that's when txt stood out to me and when i say i am IN LOVE. i dont think i could get through this year without their music

I LOVE BAEKHYUN’S SONGS SO SO MUCH- I couldn’t express it any more than that. I don’t even know much about him except that HIS VOCALS ARE THE BOMB (and that he’s in Exo) BUT LIKE HIS RNB IS JUST *chefs kiss*

ALSO WOODZ IS SO UNDERRATED LIKE YALL NEED TO SERVE TIME IN THE MILITARY FOR SLEEPING ON THIS MAN SMDH

I feel like TXT and STAYC will never have a bad song! Their whole discography is just GOLD! 💖👑

And i'm so proud of txt, they've made consecutive no skip title tracks since debut! the albums are always nice and they just outdo themselves each time, i really enjoy them as a group.

After not liking Sticker for a month, I continually began to listen to it and now, "it's a bop" 💅

2021 was really the year when kpop Stans started giving txt a chance since a lot of ppl were hesitant before bc they’re from Bighit. I’ve been seeing more and more multi fans praising txt and I’m here for it. I’m glad y’all are liking them bc of their music and not bc of their company. We welcome you with open arms🥰

2021 was txt’s year, I love every one of their songs but 0x1 just deserves all the awards. I don’t understand how anyone could not love it, it’s literally perfect. anyways, can’t wait for txt comeback may 9!!!

I love frost so much 💜💜 it became my favorite TxT song no lie 🤪🤩

whoever calls focus a flop is just tasteless 😅 lol just kidding

Sticker is not flop. It made nct win many music show n album of the year n artist of the year. Plus the song is iconicly unique n im addicted to the flute.

But Baekhyun's Bambi really slapped me back to 2013 when SMent had just released their teasers for EXO, especially Tell Me What is Love one. It has that very very core EXO vocal/ballad feels that I felt the first time I got into EXO. Something like 너의 세상으로 too, like DAMN THIS IS WHAT SMENT BALLAD IS!! Bambi really brings me back debuty vibe; that unpolished gem feelings, so eager to shine over the world. What a banger.

love how you didn't have to say that LO$ER=LO♡ER was a gem in order for us to know 😌

Yo I felt bad for liking sticker like I needed to be told that I wasn’t the problem 😤😩

THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING O SOLE MIO AND MOVE OMG THE KINGDOM TRACKS WERE REALLY GOOD, THEY NEED MORE RECOGNITION

I don't know about all y'all, but NCT Dream's "Hello Future" was THE song of 2021!! Not so much SOTY, but a song that really mattered to all of us in some personal way. I never imagined an NCT song to have the lyrics "Soldiers knocking doors down, yelling out" in a song, since it has a very literal visual of wartime and the fear and violence it breeds. It's just so good. Plus, that MV is adorable and perfect for NCT Dream!!

I love your channel because, not only do we have the same exact taste ( like, what ? every single of your gems are in my year playlist and would be mine too ) but your editing is really cool as we're really able to enjoy the song and get a good grasp of it 😊💚

Brilliant list. SF9 & Shinee supremacy. But high point of my year was finding out I was in the .01% of Baekhyun listeners on Spotify. Mission complete.

I wish you would have mentioned how Doyoung ATE the entire concept of Favorite up. He literally embodied the vampire concept to a T. Favorite is his era. He also was heavenly on the track. 😩

sticker will always be famous :/ sticker outsold

sticker is soty worthy , you can fight with the wall :)

STICKER & FAVORITE ABSOLUTE GEM!!! ALSO THANK YOU BCS TAEIL & YUTA DO ABSOLUTE ATE FAVORITE

frost was too good that even a whole award show slandered it and made it look underwhelming as fuck

Yes Attention please by enhypen deserves more recognition. It could be a title track. This song suits them so much.

I was obsessed with tear drop for like a good 3 months, it’s amazing especially the pre chorus

Finally a video with no sticker slander. It was literally one of my fav release of 2021

Frost legit makes me feel like I'm some psycho who was pretending to be a good person and finally snapped and realised they wanna be a villain and they hate the world

i had ult txt shortly after finding out they existed in 2019 (i fell in love from crown) so being on this txt rollercoaster for the last few years has been so fun

Even before it was released I knew I was going to love frost since ashnikko worked on it 😭

“2021 was the year i finally stopped ignoring enhypen” girl same

wow Frost is just a top tier example of western music collaboration with kpop done right. It has all the best elements from both worlds and it's really a masterpiece. Our boys doing screamo? revolutionary. Also my 2011 emo self is screaming crying at them doing emo concepts lol

I liked the video as soon as I saw the title. Sticker is a gem!! Hot sauce is good but I definitely enjoy sticker more~

Lovesong was the healing song for me 2021 when i goes through some problems .i will never get bored of it
