Flashback Friday

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

This week we’ll be visiting the 2nd Friday of June, 2012. I barely remember these songs which lead me to believe my short term memory is crap. Is 4 years short term or long term? Anyways, this week we have both good boys and bad guys. I like the bad guys better (story of my life)…

#3 Infinite “The Chaser”
I remember the song, but not the MV. Which is weird to me, because there’s a lot going on in the MV.

#2 Baek Ji Young featuring Yong Jun Hyung “Good Boy”
I don’t remember this song at all, I think I only remember her ballads. For a second I thought this was that Lexy tango song.

#1 G.Na “2Hot”
I like her slower jams more the upbeat ones, so I vaguely remember this MV. It’s weird, because there’s nekked men and I usually remember that. Also, I always appreciate any choreography that incorporates the tootsie roll.

Honorable Mentions

#6 Mighty Mouth featuring Soya “Bad Guy”
I actually remember this one!!! Well, at least the song and the lives…I don’t remember the MV lol.

#8 A Pink “Hush”
I remember these t-shirts but did not remember it was A Pink who was wearing them, lol pathetic.

The Chaser is my favorite kpop song <3

I never watch the regular video though, I always watch the dance version.

I'm the exact opposite OP, I remember the MV but not the song lol

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

hush is still my favorite single from apink that they have released
it's so good

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

The chaser is amazing.

[jiyonqiee.livejournal.com]

The Chaser is a kpop perfection.

[zuznay.livejournal.com]

The chaser is still so good goddd...

[torontok.livejournal.com]

The Chaser is one of the best kpop sings of all time

[thranduiles.livejournal.com]

the chaser is just one of the kpop classics that will remain iconic forever

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

the chaser ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

I like how there's still chaser memes going around tumblr from time to time. longevity.

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

One time The Chaser punched me in the face. It was awesome.

[jyushimatsu.livejournal.com]

The Chaser is everything. I miss early Infinite tbh

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

I'm the same! I'm literally so astounded by the overwhelming love for it.

[caipirinhas.livejournal.com]

Seeing Eunji and Hoya in this post makes me want to rewatch Reply 1997

[frequency.livejournal.com]

good boy is still my jam tbh

[yw7.livejournal.com]

the chaser is truly everything. such a damn good song.

[chimpansee.livejournal.com]

The Chaser is such an iconic song. It's so intense when it comes on in the car lol.

This post made me look up other kpop songs of 2012. I enjoyed these:

EXID - Every Night
IU - Every End of the Day
GaIn - Bloom
Sistar - Alone
Wonder Girls - Like This
Big Bang - Fantastic Baby

There were also a lot of popular songs that year I really disliked lol, like Hyuna's Ice Cream..

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

Omg yes at listening to it while driving. I always have my playlist on shuffle but if The Chaser happens to come on it ends up on loop the rest of the ride.

Even before I got into Infinite (I actively tried not to look into more groups at first) that song (and Back) were in my most played list.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I was introduced to Infinite & the Chaser recently and that's such a bad song (especially since "Bad" is so good)
It's messy and does not showcase their voice properly

[daikokudanji.livejournal.com]

the chaser is my favorite song ever, i may love some artists more, but the chaser is - hands down - the best song ever released

Tried to remember my 2012 jams and all I could think was the owe scandal and how I never heard/or will hear shadow )):

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

These posts are specific to the charts on that specific Friday, and there's another 2012 post in the coming weeks with more jams that you'll probably remember!

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

On second thought, maybe I'm thinking about Rainbow and their shirts during the "A" promotion. Did they wear "A" shirts too? My memory is fading in my old age =/

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

In the MV they didn't, and for this it doesn't look like they did on the stages either.

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Ah, so it was A Pink and I'm not going senile! Thank you!

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

I didn't like any of these then and still don't Well not all...
I don't like the start of Chaser, the song actually starts at :54.

[bomsnose.livejournal.com]

The Chaser (the grandpa of Stalker?) was my fave song of 2012 I think, and I was really deep into kpop that year.

That moment when Sungkyu (I cannot get myself to remember his name, the leader of Infinite anyway) does that move with his side to the camera with the light in the back... Iconic.
I remember them making US waves, too, with that one, it's a smash.

I never really got into G.NA, but somehow I managed to hum 2 Hot by just glancing at this post, so I guess it was an earworm, too.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

good boy was my jam back then!!!! amazing song
2hot was g.na's last good song. it was a mess but still catchy

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

The Chaser is until this day an amazing song, it's impossible to get tired of it. Baek Ji Young is so effortsly sexy, teach me your ways queen!
ah, Mighty Mouth had such amazing jams! does anyone know where G.Na is? what happened to her since all that mess?

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

'The Chaser' is amazing, I'M STILL SO BITTER SWEETUNE BASICALLY CHECKED OUT F KPOP. WHY DID THESE GODS STOP PRODUCING.

'2hot' is a guilty pleasure jam, always liked it. 'Good Boy' was fun too.

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

mte i miss sweetune

[helcaxe.livejournal.com]

Right!! What happened to Sweetune anyway??

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

No idea. I know they have given some interviews in recent times, but as I don't speak Korean.... I'm gonna guess they simply moved on to other positions in the industry? (I believe Shinsadong Tiger too picked up a job different from writing/producing.) Sad, though, because I've always absolutely loved their style and sound.

[mylovebelt.livejournal.com]

hush continues to my favorite title from apink. along with that whole album. une anne is my absolute favorite thing. i loveeee cat, bubibu, step, i got you, boy. sigh, forever my fave lol ;;

[cookiedealer.livejournal.com]

i remember when the chaser came out and i loved the mv but thought the song was forgettable
i was wrong because it's now my fav infinite song

ah the memories

[sodapab.livejournal.com]

Hush is still soo jamworthy!
I've listened to G.Na's 2Hot before but I never watched the video until now OMG...

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

initially i didn't care about The Chaser but some months after its release i became obsessed and then became an infinite stan :') i wouldn't say it's my FAVORITE kpop song ever but it's up there

[dafairyness.livejournal.com]

oh man, I loved Bad Guy. It's still in my summer playlist. Mighty Mouth x Soya was so good. I wonder whatever happened to Soya...

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

I love The Chaser, I still listen to it.

I did not like 2Hot. G.Na has way better songs.

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

The Chaser has remained the only Infinite song in my playlist for years. It's a great song.

[kobrakiddo.livejournal.com]

The Chaser ! <3 Song is 4 years old already? Damn, feels just like yesterday this gem was released tbh.

[merely-a-facade.livejournal.com]

damn, The Chaser was so good and Hoya was so hot in it. And then after about 100 repeats, I started noticing Sungyeol & L/Myungsoo... and after that, it was a slow slide into getting to know those losers thru all their variety shows damnit LOL
