Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
Long time no see! It is I, your local playlist gremlin, back and ready to dive right into some b-sides I really liked during the month of January. Let’s go!
======
YENA – “Lxxk 2 U”
I love, love the heavier aspects of this track in contrast to YENA’s sweet vocals. All around fun.
——
Mirae – “Future Land”
Oh, this is funky. K-pop needs more funk, so thanks Mirae!
——
Yuju – “The Killa”
Yuju, smooth gorgeous sultry vocal queen of my heart, please give us all more of this forever and ever. Please.
——
Kep1er – “MVSK”
Honestly, all of Kep1er’s mini scratched my brain in excellent ways, but this track particularly gave me a good good boost of serotonin.
——
BamBam (GOT7) – “Subliminal”
I will admit that I didn’t go into BamBam’s solo stuff with my heart and mind open, but that absolutely serves me right because I ended up loving … basically all of it. I do think the vocal effects on this track particularly could do with being toned down a little bit though.
——
ENHYPEN – “Polaroid Love”
This track is so cute, like an actual sweet little treat of a track. I will forgive ENHYPEN for having made me think their name is ‘ENHYPHEN’ for months purely thanks to this track.
——
DRIPPIN – “Switch”
This track is, hands down, my favourite track both off this mini and this playlist. I had it on repeat after the first time I listened, and I have a feeling by the end of the year it’s going to be in my top five most played tracks of 2022. It SLAPS.
——
Fromis 9 – “Escape Room”
This song is ridiculously sultry and sexy, I want it injected right into my brain.
——
Pentagon – “One Shot”
A very solid offering overall from Pentagon, definitely passes the ‘Can I Bop To It?’ test.

And that’s it!
As always, let me know about any b-sides you loved during the month of January, and happy listening!
