5th Gen Reccomendation

XIKERRRRSSSSS ofc 🥰

their debut is tricky house, another title track i recommend is witch, there's SOOO many b-sides you gotta listen to they're so good, i recommend bittersweet

also watch ep 35 of tricky house, they go bungee jumping in the episode and its so funny :sob: :sob: :sob:

I know you’ve already got a rec, but if you want some others for a later time when you’re not overwhelmed by other things, I’ve been vibing with TWS and AMPERS&ONE!

1) TWS (pronounced two-us) debuted in January 2024 under PLEDIS — they’re SVT’s first bg juniors at the company! — with 6 . Their debut song was “Plot Twist” which is a bright and youthful song about first impressions that went super viral, esp in Korea. For another title track I recommend either “hey! hey!” (feel-good summer song with bubbly vibes and awesome chant prechorus) or “Last Festival” (VERY vibey and catchy, imagine pretty fireworks montage without the loud explosion noise haha). For b-side I recommend “first hooky” from their first EP (really all the b-sides from that album). They’re very impressive dancers and live performers like their seniors 🥹 They’re a group full of introverts so a lot of their content is sometimes a bit quieter but they’re very cute! This is a content vaguely similar to those iconic “After Mom is Asleep” videos that I’ve been enjoying and laughing to a lot lately, and TWS featured on it while promoting “Last Festival”: https://youtu.be/5iei-tVb99s?si=bnUpPAY7FqebFmD_

2) AMPERS&ONE debuted November 2023 under FNC with 7 . Since you stan ZB1, you might recognize Kamden, Brian, and Jiho from Boys Planet. Their debut song is “On&On” which is bright, funky and energetic — I love it and think you would too! Another title track is “Broken Heart” which is their first comeback — it’s different from their debut with a more powerful and futuristic sound but VERY catchy haha. B-side I recommend “Someday,” it has sweet happy pop vibes reminiscent of late 3rd gen 🥹 This is their own content, they did a “blind, deaf and mute” cooking competition that was pretty funny: https://youtu.be/ES1l47tiK3A?si=Mp_g0qC9nkls4QU5

xikers is a fantastic 5th gen boy group that I’d recommend! Especially if you like very energetic, hard-hitting songs (though they have some lighter ones as well). They debuted in March of 2023 with TRICKY HOUSE and their concept is dokkaebi, or Korean goblins. Their most recent title track is WITCH, and a b-side I love is Red Sun. They literally have no mediocre song for me though, so I really do just recommend their entire discography :joy: they’re also under KQ, same as ATEEZ! A miscellaneous video that comes to mind is episode 9 of their variety show, which is also named Tricky House lol. I wanted to recommend an earlier episode because one member has been healing from an injury since their debut, so he isn’t in a whole lot of them. But he’s supposed to be in the next comeback which is super exciting!

I stopped listening to new groups in early 2022 if that helps make it easier to recommend something cause I was not at all clear 🙂‍ :left_right_arrow:

Xdinary Heroes. It’s a rock band! I think they debuted with Happy Death Day. I recommend listening to their album LIVE and FALL ;D I’m not aware of any reality shows regarding abt them, sorryyy
