@lookitmychicken probably the quickest would be to google something like "kpop songs released in 2015" and skim through lists that come up. You can also use the generation the group debuted in to help. 2015 would be mostly 3rd Gen with some 2nd Gen.

Here's the generations chart by debut years that I use:

#1stGen 1992 - 2002
#2ndGen 2003 - 2012
#3rdGen 2013 - 2017
#4thGen 2018 - 2022
#5thGen 2023 - present

Since we've already done our top songs of 2025 in various other hashtags, let's wrap up 2025's #KpopMonday with a throwback to 10 years ago, post your favorite songs from 2015 with the tag #2015inKPop

@youronlyone this youtube channel has playlists for a lot of Thai BL dramas: https://www.youtube.com/@rickorangechannel

While those playlists are only BL, they're all posts from official youtube accounts, so you can also find any GL dramas those companies have posted on their official accounts.

Strongberry makes Korean BL dramas so you can find many posted on their official youtube as well: https://www.youtube.com/@StrongberryKr

@youronlyone Japan and Taiwan...and even mainland China also have some really good BLs as well. :)

@youronlyone TVXQ is actually the Japanese name. DBSK is the original Korean name for the group.

I'll probably respond to more of the long post once I'm more awake. Lol.

@youronlyone BTS was always BTS. I've been around since their debut and their videos were always labelled as BTS and then the Hangul full name in parenthesis. At one point Big Hit hired a PR firm that tried to change the meaning of the name from Bangtan Sonyeondan to "Beyond the Scene" and no one was having it, not international fans and not Korean fans.

@youronlyone I've had to explain to a lot of people why SNSD has 2 names. I honestly think it would have been better to just use SNSD.

WSJN tried to do the same thing with Cosmic Girls and GWSN with Girls in the Park. Both did nothing but confuse fans. I don't ever hear either English name used.

Honestly, as long as the Korean name is either not too hard to spell or can be abbreviated, it's just easier for a group to have 1 name. There's not really a need for groups to have lots of names.

I haven't watched the show yet...I'm just here for Woongki getting to debut 🎉 🎉 🎉

@youronlyone

I don't know if Niners would really work for an English name, at least not if you intend to target the US as an audience. Niners is a commonly used short name for the San Francisco 49ers NFL team... a kpop group with that name would be buried in search results coming from the US.

I'm not sure I get the SNSD comparison, most of my English speaking kpop friends use SNSD.

Oh it's time to post these again...

Most MVs (music videos) are free of flashing lights and there's also things like dance practice videos that will be safe for you.

Happy #KpopMonday !

This week's theme is #GoodOrBad (songs with good and/or bad in the title).

@KDramaQn @youronlyone @ronsboy67

most of the 6 - 8 episode dramas are webdramas that usually also get released in movie format. It's totally different from a standard kdrama.

Yesterday I promised a thread on producer tags in #kpop songs, so I'm going to make this post and dump a ton of links in the replies so I can set them unlisted and hopefully make this less spammy possibly.

So what are producer tags? They are a small audio clip that a producer will tuck into the song, usually near the beginning. It's sort of like an artist adding their signature to a painting. Some producers do it, some don't.

Below are some examples. Feel free to ask questions in replies.

@cinderdazzle612 I've thought about doing a theme week of the songs with the producer tags at the beginning (like the whispered "JYP" at the start of all the songs he produced). There's also something to be said about the unique company intros at the start of a lot of kpop mvs.

:)
