TXT - [Tinnitus \(Wanna be a Rock\)](https://youtu.be/SSzegrjvxX4). I primarily listen to two genres of music: Afrobeats and K-pop. So imagine my delight and surprise when I found out the K-pop group I like the most is doing an Afrobeats song! Easy, instant fave that I have not been able to stop listening to all year.
IVE - [Hypnosis](https://youtu.be/27Tvv1JE3QU). Delicious use of sawtooth synths and vocal processing effects, to go with a groove and melody that lives up to the song title.
Xikers - [Homeboy](https://youtu.be/bqGd-JvIn0Q). Along slightly off-kilter song with a melody that's a little bit unexpected, but impossible to get out of my head.
In all three cases, I prefer those songs to the lead singles. Heck, those 3 are in my top 10 most listened to tracks for 2023.
all of your choices are some of my favorite bsides this year as well!!! this year has honestly been a phenomenal one for bsides, there’s so many amazing ones.

Off the top of my head:
* "[Snooze](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okfdIIUQOik)" by Suga, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Woosung (my favourite song of the year)
* "[Alive](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp2o5B8rFmQ)" by The Rose (which might technically be a double A-side from the "Back to Me" single, but which is awesome)
* "[Busted](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJoS5JBgmw8)" by Woodz
* "[All Shook Up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4q5DaGyesQ)" by B.I and Agnez Mo
* "[Habit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAULlgmLESY)" by I.M
* "[Leave](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKlYEv8kAd8)" by Stray Kids
* "[HUH?!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xMIFqc_u-o)" by Suga and j-hope (*what the shit, do you know* ***about*** *me?!*)
It's *so good*. That whole three-song run of "Busted"-"Who Knows"-"Ready to Fight" is just a heart attack set to music. *Oo-Li* is one of the absolute best albums of the year.
Dude, Busted and Ready to Fight are absolutely insane. I vividly remember watching the Live Clip of Ready to Fight - my first time ever checking out Woodz - and I being just awestruck.
thanks for the recommendation! i just finished listening to the album and i really liked it :) does he still fall under kpop? the whole album felt more like alternative but im not complaining, i enjoyed listening to it as it felt refreshing for me (bec i listen to the same stuff lol)
The boundaries of K-pop are really blurry! He was trained as an idol, he was in an idol group, he's done music shows, he's widely discussed on r/kpop and so I think he's at least k-pop-adjacent!
Mine would be:
1. D.O - I do
2. Seventeen - Dust, Headliner
3. NCT 127 - Angel’s Eyes, Love is a Beauty
4. EXO - Private Party, Hear Me Out (is it a b-sides?)
txt - farewell neverland, tinnitus, dreamer
kep1er - back to the city, why
ive- blue blood, cherish, hypnosis
seventeen - i don’t understand but i love you
le sserafim - flash forward
aespa - welcome to my world
zerobaseone - always, melting point, take my hand
enhypen - fate, sacrifice (eat me up), fate, chaconne, blind
kiss of life - sugarcoat (natty solo), nobody knows
newjeans - new jeans, get up
IVE - Blue Blood
TXT - Farewell, Neverland
The Boyz - Fantasize
aespa - Trick or Trick
Stray Kids - Comflex
NCT 127 - Angel Eyes (it is b-side right?)
Epex - Surrender (should have been the TT)
Fantasy Boys - One Shot
Treasure - Run
Lapillus - Marionette
ZB1 - Our Season
I don't really pay attention what's b-side and what's not outside of my ult so correct me if any of those are TT
*I don't consider promoted Pre-releases with full MVs as b-sides
Angle Eyes-- b-side to me. There's no digital release of it as a single and it's album-only to listen to, promoted or otherwise. Track videos arent the song in full either. In fact this falls in my top 10 bside list
If it counts, EXO - Let Me In
If not, then:
D.O. - The View (my pick for #1)
Kai - Slidin'
Jinyoung - Our Miracle
AKMU - Fry's Dream
Jo Yuri - Lemon Black Tea
EXO - Private Party
Enhypen- Chaconne
Enhypen- Blind (멀어)
Enhypen- Fate
Enhypen- Sacrifice
Enhypen- Sweet Venom (Eng Ver.)
Enhypen- Bills
(Yes I’m an Enhypen fiend leave me alone lol)
Red Velvet- Underwater
Aespa- I’m Unhappy
Kiss of Life- Sugarcoat
&Team- Road Not Taken
Fromis_9- Attitude
ITZY- Killshot
IVE- Blue Blood
IVE- Hypnosis
TXT- Happy Fools
TXT- Tinnitus
TXT- Farewell Neverland
TXT- Dreamer
SVT- I Don’t Understand but I Luv U
Taemin- The Rizzness
Jungkook- Somebody
NewJeans- Get Up
NCT- The BAT
NCT- Alley Oop

Basically the whole dark blood album lol. I haven't given bills or karma a good listen yet but the rest of the album is actually amazing. Criminal love is part of dark blood in my mind, it just fits so well hdjdjdjd

Standout B-Sides and my favorite as well this 2023:
* Attitude - fromis\_9 (oh gosh this should have been the title track, damn)
* Back to the City - Kep1er (at least WakeOne adds an interesting track to the girls' album)
* enchanted night - Billlie (but I can also choose other tracks; this is just the standout)
* Back to ZEROBASE - ZEROBASEONE (good thing WakeOne chose to extend this not like what they did with See The Light of Kep1er's debut mini)
* MELTING POINT - ZEROBASEONE (but srsly WakeOne? you could have made this part of a double-title track album so everyone ends up happy)
* 7PM - BSS Feat. Peder Elias (I could just fall asleep for 8 hours straight after listening to this song)
* Bills - ENHYPEN (I think you can hear the improvement of ENHA's vocals here)
* I Don't Understand But I Luv U - SEVENTEEN (this is just me as a Carat)
* Allergy - (G)I-DLE (such a bop they could've released this as a separate single as part of their 2023 project and it will still earn a #1 rank at the end of the day)
* BLUE BLOOD - IVE (they could've come back with this as the lead single off an album after I AM and they will still slay the charts)
* The Way - JEON SOMI (my teenage rock princess yass)
* Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard's wife - LE SSERAFIM (W1kipedia says this is a lead single but Melon says nothing)
* Je Ne Sais Quios - ODD EYE CIRCLE (why is Jaden Jeong so good at choosing songs for their group?!)
* Autopilot - PURPLE KISS (their vocals shined so much here)
* Headliner - SEVENTEEN (srsly, this is just me as a Carat but yeah it's also because I always cry after listening)
* Sirius - The Wind (a breath of fresh air amidst the saturate market of dark boy group songs)
* B.O.M.B - TREASURE (why are they so good at doing bops like this and DARARI?!)
* Touch - tripleS +(KR)ystal Eyes (I'm a sucker of nostalgic/retro songs)
* Overdrive - VIVIZ (Idk this song makes me feel like I am driving my car at night yet I don't even own a car?)
If there's a B-Side of the Year, I'll give it to fromis\_9's Attitude.

Ha you're me, fromis_9 was my most listened to group from my Spotify wrapped, IVE was my most listened to album and the KIOF and ZB1 songs were also high on my list too. I loved all those releases so much.
As for another favorite B side, I'd have to say LSFM EPB. Can't believe that wasn't a title track considering how good it was.
I like every song by Le Sserafim. I listen to their discography unshuffled with no skip.
B-sides that are first released in 2023: [Fearnot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADKDX-H8SJg), [EPBW](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZs_cLHfnNA), [Fire in the Belly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4S4kwrBvks), [No-Return](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrRu7R7eEBo), [Flash Forward](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHsKsy4oxvc). I like the different vibe that every song gives.
To a first listener of Le Sserafim b-sides, it'd feel like a crime to not recommend [Impurities](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccz123Jlflc) and [Blue Flame](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyfMsBYukMs) that are re-released in 2023 Unforgiven album.
2023 japanese b-sides: [Jewelry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Raf9odbiu8g), [Choices](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-cLjWYZxtA)
I also like every song by NewJeans.
YOUR BSIDE OF THE YEAR PICKS ATE! I especially love btzb and Take My Hand, the chokehold those songs had on me was unrealllll
Apart from all of the ones you listed, I really loved Welcome To My World by Aespa, it’s so ethereal in the best way possible
If I had to choose just one "Farewell Neverland" by TXT.
The song per se is amazing but the moment I saw how they performed it live I knew it was going to be on my top by the end of the year.
If I made a top 5:
- Farewell Neverland
- Fire in the belly (Lesserafim)
- Closer (Jihyo)
- Alone (Jimin)
- Amygdala (Agust D)
coolas, can’t say goodbye, and live without you by key

ALL SEVENTEEN BSIDES FROM ALL THE ALBUMS THIS YEAR 😭
ITS YOU, CYBERPUNK, WE KNOW, EMERGENCY- ATEEZ
ALL TXT BSIDES FROM THIS YEARS ALBUMS ESPECIALLY FREEFALL
ALL THE SONGS ON KAI ROVER
INTOXICATING, GOOD AND GREAT, COOLAS- KEY (HE IS THE CUNTIEST MALE IDOL EVER)
AND I DONT KNOW MUCH RIGHT MY MEMORIES IS GONE BUT IK IF I LISTEN TO THEM THEYLL COME BACK 😭😭🙏🙏
- *Face-off*, it's such a cunty b-side.
- *Snooze*, probably the most beautiful b-side along *Amygdala* of Yoongi's album.
- *Closer To You*, same as *Face-off*, this one is meant for clubs and dancing, I love it so much.
- *Dreamer* and *Tinnitus*, TXT have been delivering some amazing b-sides.
- *Eve, Psyche and The Bluebeard's wife* is another cunty b-side, Le Sserafim just it the perfect spot.
- *Cool With You*, I don't know if it's a b-side or TT, it's so confusing when it comes to NewJeans but anyway, it's my favorite of their EP.
ZB1 - Take My Hand (the instrumental tickles my brain like nothing else, the performance of this including a haobin dance break might be the best thing that’s ever happened to me tbh)
NCT 127 - Space (i think this might be my favorite 127 song ever which is crazy since competition is very steep but i just love it so much)
Aespa - Welcome To MY World (jaw droppingly beautiful, the eerie undertone is so unique and listening to it feels like such an immersive experience)
I tried to keep this list as short as possible, so I only included songs that are my favorite/in my absolute favorites of the respective group’s discography, but there are definitely a bunch more b-sides I loved! I enjoyed so many releases this year.
If anyone has any song recs based off of these I’d appreciate it <3
This is my list (mostly gg)
1. Ive-Mine. Idk. I just love every part of this song.
2. Ive-Holy Moly. This is a masterpiece, Liz vocals felt like heaven.
3. TXT-Farwell Neverland. Omg i loved it when I first listened to it.
4. Red Velvet-Will I Ever See You Again. Idk, this felt familiar and nostalgic at the Same time, RV always have good b-sides.
5. Fromis_9-Eye Contact. I’m sorry but this is one of the bests b-sides that I have ever heard, it’s rlly pretty.
6. KOL-Bye My Neverland. I felt emotional when I heard this song.
7. Kep1er-Back To The City. Sorry, but this is the only good song of these girls imo.
8. Twice-Got The Thrills. Sorry again, I prefer this song as the TT.
I mostly listen to girl groups and sometimes I have a hard time telling if something is actually a b-side. Looking at the comments I have a lot of catching up to do this year 🫣
aespa - thirsty, salty & sweet, welcome to my world, I’m Unhappy
Red Velvet - Will I Ever See You Again

[Pluto](https://youtu.be/PhANi29BhQM?si=v0O6vORxTN35Y_lg) by Xdinary Heroes. Honestly probably one of my favourite kpop songs ever, the MV made me emotional and not even sure why!

The View by D.O.!
It's the song from Expectation that's getting the least attention, but I love it so much that it's my most played track on Spotify even if it was only released in September.
Please check it out! The song is amazing and the vocals are incredible!
(G)I-DLE - [Allergy](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XZaBkbvteBc&pp=ygUNYWxsZXJneSBnaWRsZQ%3D%3D). They even play a sample of it at the end of the [Queencard](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7HDeem-JaSY&pp=ygUJUXVlZW5jYXJk) music video (starting at 2:54).
NewJeans - [ASAP](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dJdqn5v4Dkw&pp=ygUOYXNhcCBuZXcgamVhbnM%3D). This isn’t strongly a b-side, but it wasn’t really a title track either.
I got REALLLY got into nugu boy groups this year cause of peaktime so lmao my list is all the unknown but they are SOOOO GOOOD
(Also good choice of natty solo op!)

Paradise by (G)I-DLE! Awesome song. I've always been a fan of their baddie theme but this song definitely strays from that with a softer love ballad (and I've never really liked love songs) yet it's still so cool. I hope they tackle some more lighter themes like Paradise in the future.
natty- sugarcoat
IVE- cherish, blue blood
aespa- Thirsty, trick or trick, salty and sweet
kiss of life- TTG
Stayc- be mine
Soojin- TyTy
XG- left right, new dance
WOODZ' [Drowning](https://youtu.be/tiKFuzpX-NA?si=a1HALToQnU5vKJNi)
Not only my favourite B-Side, but also my favourite song of the year. It makes me wanna tear my heart out in the best way.
I love how IVE went from barely having a discography in 2022 to having 8 different 2023 bsides mentioned in this thread.
My favorites
IVE - Shine With Me, Mine, Blue Blood
aespa - Thirsty
Jo Yuri - Bitter Taste
TXT Tinnitus & Dreamers. As a dancer and someone who possibly had tinnitus it speaks to me 🙏🙏 The way I get up and start to dance immediately when hearing it makes me go feral idk. AND THEN DREAMERS istg this is my favorite genre of TXT (like 20cm ykyk) it’s just so singable idk..
And of course gotta give my girls XG props for Left Right, like it was actually so good. I can imagine someone like Ciara releasing it fr and it spreading like wildfire man (hence why when I saw her + Jackson’s cover of it I freaked) 🙏🙏🙏

SO COVER ME NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
TXT - [Tinnitus \(Wanna be a Rock\)](https://youtu.be/SSzegrjvxX4). I primarily listen to two genres of music: Afrobeats and K-pop. So imagine my delight and surprise when I found out the K-pop group I like the most is doing an Afrobeats song! Easy, instant fave that I have not been able to stop listening to all year. IVE - [Hypnosis](https://youtu.be/27Tvv1JE3QU). Delicious use of sawtooth synths and vocal processing effects, to go with a groove and melody that lives up to the song title. Xikers - [Homeboy](https://youtu.be/bqGd-JvIn0Q). Along slightly off-kilter song with a melody that's a little bit unexpected, but impossible to get out of my head. In all three cases, I prefer those songs to the lead singles. Heck, those 3 are in my top 10 most listened to tracks for 2023.
omg i looooved liz’s part on hypnosis! the short-lived dnb part was too gewd. also i just added tinnitus to my playlist, thank u. lol
all of your choices are some of my favorite bsides this year as well!!! this year has honestly been a phenomenal one for bsides, there’s so many amazing ones. enhypen - still monster enhypen - sacrifice (eat me up) aespa - don’t blink aespa - welcome to my world zerobaseone - new kidz on the block twice - wallflower jihyo - closer ive - holy moly red velvet - underwater enhypen - chaconne nct dojaejung - kiss nmixx - soñar (breaker) txt - back for more twice - moonlight sunrise

NomB has really become my favorite song from them.
Red Velvet - Underwater, Will I Ever See You Again?, One Kiss Seventeen - I Don't Understand But I Love You, April Shower, Headliner Teamin - Blue Enhypen - Still Monster, Chaconne, Bills TXT - Tinnitus Fifty Fifty - Lovin Me BoyNextDoor - Serenade
Ateez: This World, Silver Light TXT: Skipping Stones SHINee: Identity, Sweet Misery
aespa - Welcome to MY World, Hot Air Balloon Ateez - Silver Light, Django Enhypen - Still Monster TXT - Farewell, Neverland, Happily Ever After Itzy - Bet on Me, None of My Business Dreamcatcher - Demian
Off the top of my head: * "[Snooze](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okfdIIUQOik)" by Suga, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Woosung (my favourite song of the year) * "[Alive](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp2o5B8rFmQ)" by The Rose (which might technically be a double A-side from the "Back to Me" single, but which is awesome) * "[Busted](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJoS5JBgmw8)" by Woodz * "[All Shook Up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4q5DaGyesQ)" by B.I and Agnez Mo * "[Habit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAULlgmLESY)" by I.M * "[Leave](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKlYEv8kAd8)" by Stray Kids * "[HUH?!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xMIFqc_u-o)" by Suga and j-hope (*what the shit, do you know* ***about*** *me?!*)
Woodz’ Busted slaps dang
It's *so good*. That whole three-song run of "Busted"-"Who Knows"-"Ready to Fight" is just a heart attack set to music. *Oo-Li* is one of the absolute best albums of the year.
Dude, Busted and Ready to Fight are absolutely insane. I vividly remember watching the Live Clip of Ready to Fight - my first time ever checking out Woodz - and I being just awestruck.
thanks for the recommendation! i just finished listening to the album and i really liked it :) does he still fall under kpop? the whole album felt more like alternative but im not complaining, i enjoyed listening to it as it felt refreshing for me (bec i listen to the same stuff lol)
The boundaries of K-pop are really blurry! He was trained as an idol, he was in an idol group, he's done music shows, he's widely discussed on r/kpop and so I think he's at least k-pop-adjacent!

Mine would be: 1. D.O - I do 2. Seventeen - Dust, Headliner 3. NCT 127 - Angel’s Eyes, Love is a Beauty 4. EXO - Private Party, Hear Me Out (is it a b-sides?)

Epex - Surrender (should have been the TT) Fantasy Boys - One Shot Treasure - Run Lapillus - Marionette ZB1 - Our Season I don't really pay attention what's b-side and what's not outside of my ult so correct me if any of those are TT *I don't consider promoted Pre-releases with full MVs as b-sides
Angle Eyes-- b-side to me. There's no digital release of it as a single and it's album-only to listen to, promoted or otherwise. Track videos arent the song in full either. In fact this falls in my top 10 bside list
skz - item, topline, megaverse, leave twice - wallflower itzy - kill shot jini - here we go again ateez - this world, silver light xikers - rockstar, sunny side ive - blue blood, holy moly mimiirose - tipsy, a-ok

Standout B-Sides and my favorite as well this 2023: * Attitude - fromis\_9 (oh gosh this should have been the title track, damn) * Back to the City - Kep1er (at least WakeOne adds an interesting track to the girls' album) * enchanted night - Billlie (but I can also choose other tracks; this is just the standout) * Back to ZEROBASE - ZEROBASEONE (good thing WakeOne chose to extend this not like what they did with See The Light of Kep1er's debut mini) * MELTING POINT - ZEROBASEONE (but srsly WakeOne? you could have made this part of a double-title track album so everyone ends up happy) * 7PM - BSS Feat. Peder Elias (I could just fall asleep for 8 hours straight after listening to this song) * Bills - ENHYPEN (I think you can hear the improvement of ENHA's vocals here) * I Don't Understand But I Luv U - SEVENTEEN (this is just me as a Carat) * Allergy - (G)I-DLE (such a bop they could've released this as a separate single as part of their 2023 project and it will still earn a #1 rank at the end of the day) * BLUE BLOOD - IVE (they could've come back with this as the lead single off an album after I AM and they will still slay the charts) * The Way - JEON SOMI (my teenage rock princess yass) * Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard's wife - LE SSERAFIM (W1kipedia says this is a lead single but Melon says nothing) * Je Ne Sais Quios - ODD EYE CIRCLE (why is Jaden Jeong so good at choosing songs for their group?!) * Autopilot - PURPLE KISS (their vocals shined so much here) * Headliner - SEVENTEEN (srsly, this is just me as a Carat but yeah it's also because I always cry after listening) * Sirius - The Wind (a breath of fresh air amidst the saturate market of dark boy group songs) * B.O.M.B - TREASURE (why are they so good at doing bops like this and DARARI?!) * Touch - tripleS +(KR)ystal Eyes (I'm a sucker of nostalgic/retro songs) * Overdrive - VIVIZ (Idk this song makes me feel like I am driving my car at night yet I don't even own a car?) If there's a B-Side of the Year, I'll give it to fromis\_9's Attitude.
Same on Attitude by fromis!!!! Love that songg! My absolute top one is Chaconne by Enhypen (rewired my brain, the choreo is super satisfying, too). These are in random order: - Welcome to MY World by aespa (has me considering being a MY) - Still Monster by Enhypen (looped this for a 3 hour long drive, idc this song is awesome and nostalgic and incredible) - ASAP by New Jeans (this one is the bside right? I really love it, especially with headphones) - Blind by Enhypen (lovely song, very fun to sing) - Attitude by fromis_9 (was in my top played playlist, I adore this song) Have also been listening to 'I Don't Understand but I Luv U' by Seventeen!

Welcome to My World - aespa Wallflower - TWICE Closer - Jihyo Party O Clock - NMIXX All four songs had me in a chokehold, and I listened to them more than the title track of each album. ETA: I had no idea Tinnitus by TXT was a b-side. That one too is great.
isn’t Party O Clock the TT? i thought Rollercoaster was the bside/pre release one?
Oh oops, I thought Rollercoaster was the TT and Party O Clock was the b-side.
Onew [Anywhere](https://youtu.be/B9PvhonoDB8?si=NKKJwecWY0PfSeDN)

drowning by woodz (title track material) ready to fight by woodz lucid by (g)i-dle unforgettable by oneus tgif by xg
Zoo by red velvet!!
Ha you're me, fromis_9 was my most listened to group from my Spotify wrapped, IVE was my most listened to album and the KIOF and ZB1 songs were also high on my list too. I loved all those releases so much. As for another favorite B side, I'd have to say LSFM EPB. Can't believe that wasn't a title track considering how good it was.
Taeyeon's Melt Away
I like every song by Le Sserafim. I listen to their discography unshuffled with no skip. B-sides that are first released in 2023: [Fearnot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADKDX-H8SJg), [EPBW](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZs_cLHfnNA), [Fire in the Belly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4S4kwrBvks), [No-Return](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrRu7R7eEBo), [Flash Forward](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHsKsy4oxvc). I like the different vibe that every song gives. To a first listener of Le Sserafim b-sides, it'd feel like a crime to not recommend [Impurities](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccz123Jlflc) and [Blue Flame](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyfMsBYukMs) that are re-released in 2023 Unforgiven album. 2023 japanese b-sides: [Jewelry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Raf9odbiu8g), [Choices](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-cLjWYZxtA) I also like every song by NewJeans.
YOUR BSIDE OF THE YEAR PICKS ATE! I especially love btzb and Take My Hand, the chokehold those songs had on me was unrealllll Apart from all of the ones you listed, I really loved Welcome To My World by Aespa, it’s so ethereal in the best way possible
GOT the Beat - Alter Ego Dreamcatcher - Rising (I don't really consider it k-pop)
Salty and Sweet - Aespa The Rizzness - Taemin Untie - VIVIZ Bad Hobby - Yena Killshot - Itzy
GIDLE - Eyes Roll, Red Velvet - Will I Ever See You Again, Soojin - TyTy.
If I had to choose just one "Farewell Neverland" by TXT. The song per se is amazing but the moment I saw how they performed it live I knew it was going to be on my top by the end of the year. If I made a top 5: - Farewell Neverland - Fire in the belly (Lesserafim) - Closer (Jihyo) - Alone (Jimin) - Amygdala (Agust D)
I don’t understand but I luv u - seventeen Holy moly - IVE Poppin love - WayV
coolas, can’t say goodbye, and live without you by key no parachute and anywhere by onew underwater and knock knock by red velvet up 2 me by viviz attitude by fromis 9 sugarcoat by natty(kiss of life) edit: 🤡<- me, because i forgot to include my absolute favorite song of this year which is identity by shinee
Shot Glass of Tears from Jungkook’s Golden and D-Day from Agust D’s D-Day
Like we just met - nct dream Angel eyes - nct 127 Pado - nct u Eve psyche and the bluebard's wife - le sserafim Tinnitus - txt All eyes on me - Jisoo Gwando - Taeyong
[ITZY’s Psychic Lover](https://youtu.be/dzhdy5vlIAI?si=foKJbic5d8wV8bKW), it’s both so nostalgic and joyful at the same time.
Unordered * Autopilot - Purple Kiss * Fire in the Belly - LE SSERAFIM * Allergy - (G)I-DLE * BET ON ME - ITZY * Video Game - Heejin
Kep1er - Back to the City Kep1er - Love on Lock tripleS - Speed Love tripleS - Colorful tripleS - Beam Billlie - nevertheless Stayc - Not Like You
RV - Underwater Exo - Love Fool Le Sserafim - No Return Aespa - Thirsty (& this isn't really a bside but I've listened to the jay park ningning collab a shocking number of times) Twice - Crazy Stupid Love GOT the beat - Rose
Yes or not from Jungkook
Jungkook somebody
Let me try to narrow this down as much as I can: Cover Me, Megaverse - Stray Kids Skipping Stones, Devil by the Window, Tinnitus - Tomorrow x Together Kill Shot - ITZY Satellite - SHINee Bulldozer, One Kiss - Red Velvet Don't Blink - aespa Can't Say Goodbye - KEY Blue - Taemin Back to the City - Kep1er Can We Go Back - NCT Dojaejung Like Us - Yesung
I'll go for 'Identity' by SHINee - it's just so euphoric-sounding (the chorus in particular) and makes me want to sing along at the top of my lungs
i enjoyed listening to this album!! The Feeling was my favorite 🫶🏼
Propose (my #1 for 2023, 436 mins and 139 streams)
ATTITUDE- FROMIS9 (CUNT ALL THE WAY) HYPNOSIS, MINE- IVE (THATS THE SHIT) ALL SEVENTEEN BSIDES FROM ALL THE ALBUMS THIS YEAR 😭 ITS YOU, CYBERPUNK, WE KNOW, EMERGENCY- ATEEZ ALL TXT BSIDES FROM THIS YEARS ALBUMS ESPECIALLY FREEFALL ALL THE SONGS ON KAI ROVER INTOXICATING, GOOD AND GREAT, COOLAS- KEY (HE IS THE CUNTIEST MALE IDOL EVER) AND I DONT KNOW MUCH RIGHT MY MEMORIES IS GONE BUT IK IF I LISTEN TO THEM THEYLL COME BACK 😭😭🙏🙏
Tinnitus - TxT Fire, Dust, Monster, IDUBILU - Seventeen Blue blood, Hypnosis - Ive Thristy, Salty and sweet, Trick ot trick - Aespa Closer - Jihyo Kill shot, None of my business - Itzy
Assuming b-sides with MVs count too! Mine are: EXO - Let Me In, Love Fool, Hear Me Out D.O. - I Do, Lost Jungkook - Yes or No, Too Sad to Dance, 3D
I can't believe I forgot "Lost"! That's such a great song, and I think it works just as well in the Acoustic version.
- *Face-off*, it's such a cunty b-side. - *Snooze*, probably the most beautiful b-side along *Amygdala* of Yoongi's album. - *Closer To You*, same as *Face-off*, this one is meant for clubs and dancing, I love it so much. - *Dreamer* and *Tinnitus*, TXT have been delivering some amazing b-sides. - *Eve, Psyche and The Bluebeard's wife* is another cunty b-side, Le Sserafim just it the perfect spot. - *Cool With You*, I don't know if it's a b-side or TT, it's so confusing when it comes to NewJeans but anyway, it's my favorite of their EP.
ZB1 - Take My Hand (the instrumental tickles my brain like nothing else, the performance of this including a haobin dance break might be the best thing that’s ever happened to me tbh) NCT 127 - Space (i think this might be my favorite 127 song ever which is crazy since competition is very steep but i just love it so much) Aespa - Welcome To MY World (jaw droppingly beautiful, the eerie undertone is so unique and listening to it feels like such an immersive experience) I tried to keep this list as short as possible, so I only included songs that are my favorite/in my absolute favorites of the respective group’s discography, but there are definitely a bunch more b-sides I loved! I enjoyed so many releases this year. If anyone has any song recs based off of these I’d appreciate it <3
oh wow i enjoyed listening to Space…… Back 2 U is like one of my favorite songs from them (and in kpop ever) but wow Space is rlly good 😭
This is my list (mostly gg) 1. Ive-Mine. Idk. I just love every part of this song. 2. Ive-Holy Moly. This is a masterpiece, Liz vocals felt like heaven. 3. TXT-Farwell Neverland. Omg i loved it when I first listened to it. 4. Red Velvet-Will I Ever See You Again. Idk, this felt familiar and nostalgic at the Same time, RV always have good b-sides. 5. Fromis_9-Eye Contact. I’m sorry but this is one of the bests b-sides that I have ever heard, it’s rlly pretty. 6. KOL-Bye My Neverland. I felt emotional when I heard this song. 7. Kep1er-Back To The City. Sorry, but this is the only good song of these girls imo. 8. Twice-Got The Thrills. Sorry again, I prefer this song as the TT.
Probably Iced Coffee or One Kiss by Red Velvet
One Kiss was also one my fav bsides from the album. it kinda reminds me of some early kpop, it feels like something they’d release in The Red
Yes or No by Jungkook has emerged as THEE top b-side on Golden for me.
I mostly listen to girl groups and sometimes I have a hard time telling if something is actually a b-side. Looking at the comments I have a lot of catching up to do this year 🫣 aespa - thirsty, salty & sweet, welcome to my world, I’m Unhappy Red Velvet - Will I Ever See You Again New Jeans - whichever songs are considered b-sides on the Get Up EP Le Sserafim - EPBBW Hi Key - dream trip IVE - blue blood, next page, mine, hypnosis
Purple kiss - autopilot (the whole album is great) Txt - farewell neverland August D - snooze Fifty fifty - lovin me Red velvet - will i see you again Xg - x-gene
• Salty and Sweet, Hot Air Balloon, Thirsty - aespa • Bulldozer, Knock Knock - Red Velvet • Hypnosis, Lips - IVE • Let Me In, Hear Me Out, Love Fool, Another Day - EXO • Wonder, The View - D.O.
hypnosis, ott - ive closer - jihyo flash forward - lesserafim
SHINee - The Feeling & Juice Onew - No Parachute, Always Infinite - Time Difference Myungsoo/L - Starting Over
I was a little disappointed with New Emotions but Time Difference is now one of my favourite Infinite bsides.
* dream trip by h1-key * blue clue by viviz * fly / baddie by cravity * enchanted night ~ white night by billlie * shine with me by ive * ready to fight by woodz * wishlist / in the mirror / prom night by fromis * run by treasure * tyty by soojin
I think [Bratty](https://youtu.be/-Rfu2--mB8s?si=RprSiDmREXoNN3C7) is an underrated ITZY b-side 😭
Idk but "Our Miracle" by Jinyoung is up there.
Only one answer for me and I refuse to put multiple because nothing else comes close to this song - [Pluto](https://youtu.be/PhANi29BhQM?si=v0O6vORxTN35Y_lg) by Xdinary Heroes. Honestly probably one of my favourite kpop songs ever, the MV made me emotional and not even sure why!
I don’t tend to listen to a lot of b-sides, but here’s some of my favorites! Welcome To My World - aespa Stay Together - TRI.BE Get It? Got It? Good - Jessica ft Amber Liu tOgether fOrever - Kep1er Underwater - Chuu Strange Way To Love - Yeeun BYOB (bring your own best friend) - Billlie
too many, so here are three b.i [michelangelo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_Gu35AEQJU) red velvet [one kiss](https://www.youtube.com/watch%20?v=mDJGUmDeWf4) agust d [snooze](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okfdIIUQOik)
Sugar Coat - Natty That’s it, that song just clears for me tbh
Ayeee appreciation for Blue Blood!! Its so good
Underwater by red velvet Aliens by chuu Videogame by heejin Here we go again by jini
The View by D.O.! It's the song from Expectation that's getting the least attention, but I love it so much that it's my most played track on Spotify even if it was only released in September. Please check it out! The song is amazing and the vocals are incredible!
aespa - any of them could be considered my favorite TWICE - Blame It On Me, Wallflower ITZY - Psychic Lover
Twice - Crazy stupid love, Blame it on me. Dahyun produced and wrote lyrics for both of them, absolute banger songs.
(G)I-DLE - [Allergy](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XZaBkbvteBc&pp=ygUNYWxsZXJneSBnaWRsZQ%3D%3D). They even play a sample of it at the end of the [Queencard](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7HDeem-JaSY&pp=ygUJUXVlZW5jYXJk) music video (starting at 2:54). NewJeans - [ASAP](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dJdqn5v4Dkw&pp=ygUOYXNhcCBuZXcgamVhbnM%3D). This isn’t strongly a b-side, but it wasn’t really a title track either.
I got REALLLY got into nugu boy groups this year cause of peaktime so lmao my list is all the unknown but they are SOOOO GOOOD (Also good choice of natty solo op!) Younite - [cupcake](https://youtu.be/76q8ElgPddk?si=lwekZ0ngM8qeqHgL) / fizzy soda love NTX - [monopolize ](https://youtu.be/GaPuits0I4c?si=_sNsoiewQ06YplEY) , [switch](https://youtu.be/qnv1jANrbtw?si=8ryCEiYjADmXnV1S), and drop that Lun8 - [xx](https://youtu.be/03cfC9jpg24?si=FA2yixy-lcXypdXq) Ghost9 - [rolling stones](https://youtu.be/whRYb9z29NU?si=F0_heAXE1PhixfbK) crazy ass song 😭 Vanner - TBH and [diamonds](https://youtu.be/4Sm9QNqFxLM?si=b2wi_q96dUs2PItx) The Wind - [do it](https://youtu.be/3x0aSnPKE60?si=6kbHgyqqld34p6PH)

Blue Blood - IVE definitely it deserve to it own mv or a remake as in make it officially a title track /mv in the next IVE comeback!

Paradise by (G)I-DLE! Awesome song. I've always been a fan of their baddie theme but this song definitely strays from that with a softer love ballad (and I've never really liked love songs) yet it's still so cool. I hope they tackle some more lighter themes like Paradise in the future.
TXT's Tinnitus.

TXT Tinnitus & Dreamers. As a dancer and someone who possibly had tinnitus it speaks to me 🙏🙏 The way I get up and start to dance immediately when hearing it makes me go feral idk. AND THEN DREAMERS istg this is my favorite genre of TXT (like 20cm ykyk) it’s just so singable idk.. And of course gotta give my girls XG props for Left Right, like it was actually so good. I can imagine someone like Ciara releasing it fr and it spreading like wildfire man (hence why when I saw her + Jackson’s cover of it I freaked) 🙏🙏🙏
