This would be me in Arizona, if I had a $5500 bike* and giant brass balls.

*Honestly, a lot cheaper than I was expecting!

I think this guy’s Minji was a little more impressive, but his Haerin is still really good! Like, what is this witchcraft?!!! good.

So good! I wish QWER would commit to doing more stuff like this. Not that their more idol-y songs aren’t a lot of fun, but “Ferris Wheel” and “Harmony of Stars” are just so gorgeous.

Exactly how I planned it.

Because this felt familiar.

I’d much rather have $250 cash in my pocket than $250 worth of Gridiron-upgraded VAMP on my toy shelf.

That’s what I keep telling myself, anyway.

“The comeback from Ill Lit on PoP! 101.9, the best pop on the planet.”

DJ Becky Mits, after playing ILLIT’s “Magnetic” on PoP! 101.9 (I love that there’s a kpop station on the radio; I hate that its DJs don’t seem to be passionate about kpop)

I love the “I feel like money”/“I feel like 많이” pun in the post-chorus so much! And because it leads straight into a TWICE-referencing “moonlight sunrise” lyric at the start of the second verse, I’m convinced that it’s a tip of the hat to TWICE’s “Say You Love Me,” which features the cleverest “money”/“많이” pun possible. Inspired by the best!

Damn, tonight’s a good night for new kpop. This sounds like a prettier version of TXT’s “0X1=LOVESONG,” and I’m here for it.
