Favourite single : APink's Dumhdurum There isn't even a competition, this song is already one of my favourite 2020 singles. I've played it so much already!!! It's so catchy and this chic, mature, feminine sound APink rebranded themselves with works so well. I just wished the mini album was stronger - I don't think it was on par with Percent or One&Six. It's pretty but not as exciting as it could have been. Honorable mentions : April's Lalalilala ; Bvndit's Jungle ; Chungha's Stay Tonight ; Golden Child's ONE (Lucid Dream) ; GWSN's Bazooka ; NCT127's Kick It ; WayV's Turn Back Time (so either 80s inspired songs or weird structures lol, with Jungle making an apparition for the low voices in the verses and Turn Back Time for its guitar-filled dance break !).
Favourite bside : WJSN's Hola There were a lot of candidates this time, I've enjoyed quite a lot of releases these months. But with summer getting closer, I'm already replaying Hola the most. It's super energetic and catchy, I love it so much. I still think it would have been more memorable as a single than Butterfly (but that's for another Omona exclusive post :D). Honorable mentions : Bvndit's Children ; GWSN's The Aerialist, Tweaks & After the Bloom ; IZ*ONE's Merry Go Round ; NCT127's Elevator ; Oh My Girl's Neon & Dolphin ; Twice's Sweet Summer Day, Firework & Shadow ; WJSN's Pantomine & Our Garden ; Weki Meki's Moya Moya
Favourite mini album : GWSN's The Keys This mini is way too short, especially compared to their 3rd Park in the Night (which had seven songs?!), but I love every song on it. Which isn't the case for my honorable mentions : I like everything, but there are songs that I don't love either. I guess in this case, short is better, as there isn't any filler. Honorable mentions : Sujeong's Tiger Eyes, Twice's More & More, WayV's Awaken the World, WJSN's Neverland
As for the next couple of months, I'm super excited about GFriend (Labyrinth is still my favourite 2020 mini album and it dropped in January lmao) ; I have high hopes for Chungha's release as I really enjoyed Stay Tonight ; and I'm really curious about Seulgi & Irene. I won't be able to listen to Sunmi's song before lunch break but I'm sure it will make me want to edit this comment. The preview sounded really nice already and I'm all for a summer song. Lovelyz needs to have a comeback this summer TT I hope they're next after GolCha. Woollim could be tented to have Rocket Punch comeback though, their energetic sound fit summer (but I don't think they should release something too close to Itzy). I just miss Lovelyz lol and Sujeong's surprising concept and sound makes me even more impatient!!!
