Pann: TOP 30 digital downloads in 2016

1. [+49, -11] Can Suzy and Baekhyun release a second song ㅠㅠ

2. [+33, -25] Wow, GFriend is amazing. They have a small fandom but they're that high purely because their songs are good.

3. [+27, -15] Suzy's unbeatable public recognition and Baekhyun's unbeatable popularity resulted in Dream.

4. [+23, -4] I've never seen the 7th song What If It Was Going - Kim Na Young. I enjoyed the rest of the songs.

5. [+23, -10] God Dream

6. [+15, -0] Zico is amazing

7. [+13, -1] Dream is such a good song! Zico is doing really well though ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He has 4 songs listed there.

TOP 8 idol songs recommended by lyricist Kim Eana

Lyricist Kim Eana (wrote Abracadabra, Sign, etc)

Shinhwa - I Pray 4 U

At that time, Shinhwa was the first 'macho-dols', so their lyricism in the song was more refreshing. The song also made me realize that Minwoo had a sweet vocal color.

Sechs Kies - Couple

From what I remember, this was the very first song that a male singer appeared to be 'pale and pretty' in a music video. It's one of the songs that represent the 90's and many people still sing this song.

BoA - Maybe... Maybe Not?!

I'm a big fan of Yoon Sang, so I bought the CD when the album was released. Park Chang Hak's unique and heavy message is in the song but BoA, who was young at the time, still pulled off the lyrics. Besides, it's Yoon Sang's song that doesn't need explanations.

Infinite - White Confession

This is Infinite's best song for me. I really like Sweetune's vibes of 'sad feelings of young boys'. Every Infinite member's voice sounds the most charming in this song. I thought Sunggyu was the only good singer but it turned out that Woohyun was also good!

Boyfriend - I'll Be There

It's a song that has 'fresh but sad' emotions, which I like the most. I listened to it on a street and I really liked it, so I used an app to find out the name of the song. Of course, it's Sweetune's work!

SHINee - Aside

This song is always on my playlist. When someone says, "Why do you listen to idol songs? Old songs are the best", I make them listen to this song. It never failed to impress them.

Girls' Generation - Express 999

I wondered, "Who is the genius that wrote this song?" and looked up. It was Kenzi. No wonder...

Bigbang - Monster

I thought of choosing other song because this song is too much of a hit song, but I just couldn't exclude this song for this topic. The music video, lyrics, and song formed a trinity. Orchestra is ignored in idol music because of its old sounds, but since this song, it started to appear frequently. I'm thankful as a fan of string music.

Pann: Certain top 4 idol groups

1. [+92, -22] Why are people complaining about B2ST? B2ST deserves to be here

2. [+85, -12] Can't refute... It's honestly correct. Other fans always try to drag these groups but it's all useless.

3. [+76, -12] Agree, it's all correct

4. [+59, -20] So who do you think should be there instead of B2ST? BTS? No one knows BTS songs, they have zero public recognition. Only you fans know about BTS.

5. [+41, -7] Are you still gonna say they're on a downfall? This song was released years ago.

(On Rainy Days on #82)

6. [+41, -2] Other fandoms will know that after a group reaches their peak, people start saying that they're on a downfall. Is there other idol group that can beat those groups?

7. [+35, -60] If there's B2ST, then we should put Infinite as well.

8. [+28, -3] Half of the 8 groups are SM... Kya~ SM.

9. [+22, -0] Look at these people targeting SHINee and B2ST. SHINee is still a top group after 9 years and they're actually still rising ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Do you think it's easy? And B2ST is still doing well after years, it's amazing.

10. [+22, -1] SNSD is so amazing... A girl group maintaining their popularity for 10 years is legendary.
