I have an unfinished meme exercise sometime in the past, possibly about four years ago. But I'm not going to go back to that one, why do that when I can try another one and only get halfway through it? This one's about music, and that feels like one I actually might get through. It's worth a try at least. Many thanks to
shipperslist for the list of music-related questions. Let's see how this turns out.
1. A song that you discovered this month: Since I already talked about RM's "Tokyo" a few days ago, I'm going give you a solo piece by Yeosang, a member of the eight-man KPop group Ateez. He's one of the members who I've discovered well after becoming fond of some of his group mates. He's a lead dancer, what's known as a sub-vocalist - he has a nice deep voice - and a "visual," which is a thing I understand, but which isn't one of my favorite bits of KPop culture. (Yes I enjoy them being pretty, but I don't like the idea of "pretty face" being an official position especially since the members of any idol group have to be good at everything. Everything.)
This song is full of near-operatic symphonic swagger. I'd like it even if it was all in Korean because of how it's put together, and how well Yeosang and his dance crew use it in this music video. The English subtitles give me a little more of a hint about what the song means to him, and that's another reason I like it.
