"This scratches the exact same itch as my second favorite Seventeen song (Ima). Same ballpark. The guitar is on fire here and it's very present throughout most of the song. Also, the way the vocals and the instrumental work together on the "shining star" part to mimic each other's emphasis is very nice. This is one of those songs that feel high energy but are simultaneously surprisingly soothing. I love songs like that."

There have been a lot of debuts already this year, which is worrying because as we all know, the kpop market is currently quite saturated. On the one hand, the second and third gen groups aren't disbanding like their first gen predecessors had by this point in their careers, which is good because it gives the younger artists reliable seniors to look up to and learn how all of this works (and to protect them if need be). On the other hand, because the older groups are so dominant, they're not moving out of the way so that the younger groups can grow into their own (insert comparison to a mature forest). Which is a problem.

Still! This group comes to us with an entire adult line. No children to be seen! I had a little bit of difficulty finding them, so I included links to four different streaming services. They have really low numbers, y'all. Please give them a chance.
