Flashback Friday

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! Time for another Flashback Friday. So, how it works: OP spends hours looking through the all the Fridays on all the different charts whilst eating popcorn and limeade…then upon finding a good one, posts the top 3 songs from the chosen chart. Then, she picks out 2 more songs from the top 10 as honorable mentions cause why not. This week we’re going to check out the top songs from the last Friday in May, 2013. We’ll start with the longest running group on their 15th anniversary…

#3 Shinhwa “This Love”
I don’t fucking care, I love the choreography for this. I remember some people like “why are they voguing?” and “it’s so embarrassing” and "they're so old", blah blah blah. But they all fully committed to it, and they look good doing it…I mean godammit, look at Eric with those poses. Kudos to them for doing this for 15 years and still wanting to try something different.

#2 4minute “What’s Your Name?”
Before Twice, 4minute showed us the harsh reality of a zombie invasion. But at least the 4minute ladies knew they were in danger and tried to fight them off before giving up and breaking into the group dance.

#1 Lee Hyori “Bad Girls”
I honestly didn’t like any of the songs for this comeback. But I did enjoy this song more than “Miss Korea”, although I think the “Miss Korea” video was better. Like, I think I only watched this whole MV once when it came out. Trigger warning: eyebrows.

Honorable Mentions:

#6 Roy Kim “Bom Bom Bom”
If this song isn’t on your “Picnic in the Park” playlist, then you’re doing it wrong. Or “Acoustic Mornings” playlist. Or “Smart and Handsome Troubadour” playlist. Bottom line, this should be on a playlist somewhere…it’s lovely.

#10 Secret “Yoo Hoo”
Fun fact about OP: still refuses to call her anything but Zinger. Another fun fact: OP can’t pick out which one is Zinger anymore because it’s been so damn long since they put out anything ARE THE OTHER MEMBERS BESIDES HYOSUNG EVEN STILL ALIVE?!?

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

I really loved 'this love'. so much~
never read what others thought about it til now, but meh, for anything that exists there will be people who love it and people who hate it. :P

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

There were also comments along the lines of "Why are they dancing like girls?" which is so...sigh.

[atelierlune.livejournal.com]

This Love was, is, and will be a jam.

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

I posted the yoohoo video here myself and to this day I've only listened both to the song and ep that once, AWFUL

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

What an amazing week for music tbh. This Love gives me life to this day.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

YooHoo and I do I do are probably Secret's worst tracks.
I loved What's Your Name so much but it hasn't aged as well for me as some of 4minute's other title tracks

[misspoirot.livejournal.com]

This Love is life! I cant decide which eric i like the best; Shinhwa's Eric or Actor Eric

Before Twice, 4minute showed us the harsh reality of a zombie invasion

And what about T-ara?

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

I stopped paying attention to t-ara after bo peep tbh lol

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

This offense


You have missed so many performances full of energy by the queens of perfect synchronized choreography. Other people can only dream of this level of footwork!

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Doing the bo peep dance got me free tacos from a taco truck. No free tacos for lovey dovey or roly poly so no need to care lol

[genesisgrey.livejournal.com]

Generally, I don't like any music video with zombies in it. (Major squick for me.) But I do actually like this one for some reason.

[evilcoc0nut.livejournal.com]

[soulsreverie.livejournal.com]

this love and shinhwa broadcast got me into shinhwa

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

this love is perfection, the song and the choreo saved my life
i want everyone to cover this love tbh, boy groups AND girl groups
ialsowantshineetocoverthislovesooobadsmplease

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

oh my god i would die

[thranduiles.livejournal.com]

from this comment to god's ears pls!!

[pippopippo.livejournal.com]

I have to admit I only heard This Love after GOT7 covered it lmao, but I really like it! Great song.

[jessi-cola.livejournal.com]

lmao same after watching the vid I can see where the inspiration for those red camo suits came from

[jeliza]

Such a good week. Junjin looked amazing for that comeback.

[aki-san.livejournal.com]

I hope This Love plays when I walk through the pearly gates of heaven, that's how much I love it ~

A great week in music, the lowest one for me is YooHoo and I don't really even dislike it, it's just kind of meh.

[moonwitharashi.livejournal.com]

This love is one of my favorites <3
Eric <3

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Your icon *hearteyes*

[staaan.livejournal.com]

this love is so good. i also love the mv for bad girls (despite the weird styling)

[hyungmoney.livejournal.com]

this love is one of my first fav kpop songs, i still remember the attack on titan amv that made me check out the real mv lol

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

that attack on titan amv is the reason i heard this love for the first time too
still sad that the full version was never released but the creator had their reasons so i must respect them

[hyungmoney.livejournal.com]

yea same :/

[thranduiles.livejournal.com]

that amv got me into kpop once and for all lol

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

I loved the This Love mv for that one backup dancer who is REALLY INTO IT also the overdramatic vogueing is great

[jangneri.livejournal.com]

He and Minwoo were the choreographers for that dance ^^ He's great!

[xblackchristmas.livejournal.com]

They are! :) Later in the year around September-ish~

[classicfire.livejournal.com]

This Love was great op! Some people just don't appreciate the older kpop groups.

[xblackchristmas.livejournal.com]

Hell yes, THIS LOVE. Shinhwa is amazing, not to mention their older songs are great to listen to even now although style of music was different back then.

I seriously miss Hyori and wonder how she's doing.

[thranduiles.livejournal.com]

anyone who doesn't love this love just hates fun.

[sodapab.livejournal.com]

This Love is just so good and Bom Bom Bom is still lovely <3
What's Your Name was on some 8tracks playlist alongside SNSD's IGAB and I listened that playlist quite a few times... and so both songs grew on me eventually. They're just fun to sing along to lol.

[jackieee94.livejournal.com]

This Love still slays me.

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

this love is still such a jam, i love it (and eric's poses are a++)

also i miss hyori too ;-;

[dharawal.livejournal.com]

I love Shinhwa, and to be honest I always thought the reason they did that style of choreo was because they didn't feel like doing anything too strenuous considering their ages.

[shcjplnktn.livejournal.com]

I love me some Flashback Fridays!

Of course I'm biased towards Shinhwa, heh. What I loved about this week was Shinhwa going up against Hyori, and seeing how close they were brings back the older generation feels. :')

[audreyfrill.livejournal.com]

i actually loved all of these except for yoohoo, ts did them dirty

[theharleyquinn.livejournal.com]

Hyori's comeback was so good and she looked amazing with the dark hair.

[dot-rose.livejournal.com]

Ah. This love was so good.

[arysthaeniru.livejournal.com]

I'm probably in the unpopular opinion of liking Yoohoo. The song is super catchy and the MV made me laugh, especially the hitchiking scene. But I agree with everyone else, I Do, I Do was the worst decision ever.

Hyosung and Jieun have been really active as far as acting has been going! And recently Jieun/Hyosung had a photoshoot. But Sunhwa's been put on hiatus ever since her comments about her beef with Hana and Hana never had any schedules in the first place.....

(also I feel, I actually really like her real name, but there are lots of jung hana's and zinger is much easier to search for LMAO)
