Every week I check the charts for this day in the past and share the top three songs. Then I pick out two more from the top ten as honorable mentions. This week, we are going back to the 4th week in July, 2014. I hope you’re ready for some mellow versions of these hit songs. OP is feeling very chill today.



#3 Block B “H.E.R”
The group was really busy in 2014, and in between two concerts series, they would release a new mini album. This was the lead single of the album of the same name, and is one of the group’s biggest selling songs. Here’s a special stage of the song, featuring a little acoustic opening.

Happy Friday! Every week I check the charts for this day in the past and share the top three songs. Then I pick out two more from the top ten as honorable mentions. This week, we are going back to the 2nd week of December, 2015. Some of the songs have been posted before, so we will see some live stages.


#3 Twice “Like Ooh Ahh”
This was their debut song, and was released about 3 months after the show “Sixteen” ended. The song would stay on the charts for months, peaking in the top ten. I don’t listen to this particular song very often, but when I do I channel the fuck out of Momo during her little dance break. I know I'm not the only one. Here is the group’s debut stage.

Every week I go through the charts for this day in the past and post the top three songs. Then I pick out two more from the top ten as honorable mentions. This week, we’re going back to the 4th week of June, 2014. All of these songs have been posted before, so this week we’ll see their comeback stages. I only have vague memories of this week, maybe you remember more.



#3 K.Will “Day 1”
Besides one OST song and one collab (with the group at #9 on the list), he released a 5 song EP called “One Fine Day” in 2014. Still very busy though, he did two tours this year. And this was the album’s lead single. Both the album and the song were a success, with the single peaking at #2. The song is cute and sweet, and it’s one of those confession songs. It’s a cute stage too, he looks like he had fun.

Outspoken hip-hop artist San E has taken a swipe at Korean journalists involved in "untrustworthy yellow journalism" in his new single "Trash Journalist."

The rapper released the single Tuesday through YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

The song has not broken into a top 100 chart in any of Korea's seven major online music sites, including Melon and Bugs Music, which is rare for the musician. His past singles highlighting major social issues, like "Bad Year," about former President Park Geun-hye on the verge of impeachment, and "Oong Ang Oong," about online misandry communities, all became hits.

This happened before San E and Brand New Music ended their contract together

On December 4, San E uploaded a video titled “SBS’s Misogynist San E Framing …Stop the Witch Hunt” on his personal YouTube channel. (watch the full vid here)

In the video, he stated, “I watched major network [SBS’s news coverage]. They edited [the video] really maliciously. They sidelined the entire situation of that place and edited parts together to frame me as a misogynistic rapper. As a major network everyone watches, they created fake news and reported it just like that.”

On December 2, San E performed at the “Brand New Year 2018” concert. When San E came on stage near the end of the concert, the audience started to boo. San E asked the crowd, “Everyone, do you all hate me?” and the audience replied, “Yes,” very loudly. A pig doll with words criticizing San E was also thrown onto the stage.

Happy Friday everyone! Every week I go through the charts for this day in the past and post the top three songs. Then I pick out two more from the top ten as honorable mentions. This week, let’s see what was on top for the 5th week of November, 2013.



#3 San E featuring Sanchez “Break Up Dinner”

This is the only song this week that I’ve posted in a past post, so this time it’s a live performance. This was a song off of his “”Not” Based On A True Story” album, his first album after leaving JYP for Brand New Music (totally didn’t know he was in JYP). All of the singles off of this album got into the top ten.

Rapper San E’s appearance at an upcoming event for the documentary film “Respect” has been canceled.

“Respect” is a hip hop documentary that will feature appearances by The Quiett, Doki, Deepflow, MC Meta, Beenzino, San E, Swings, Jerry.K, JJK, Tiger JK, and Paloalto. The film is set to have a Guest Visit (GV) event, where the cast will sit down to share behind-the-scenes stories, on November 30 and it has been announced that San E will no longer be attending the event.

A source from “Respect” stated, “San E was originally planning on attending the event, but his appearance has been canceled.” San E’s agency also confirmed the cancellation. A GV event is usually an opportunity for the cast to share stories about the film, but with so much conversation surrounding San E and his recent feminism controversy, both sides came to the agreement that it would be better if he canceled his appearance to keep the focus of the conversation on the film. Instead, Swings, Deepflow, and The Quiett are among those who will be in attendance.

Rapper San E has posted an explanation for his controversial song “Feminist” on social media.

The song’s lyrics provoked debates about feminism and gender equality in South Korea as well as criticism from other rappers like SLEEQ and Jerry.K. San E then responded to Jerry.K’s song with a diss track of his own.

On November 19, San E took to his Instagram account to post an explanation about the lyrics to “Feminist.”
