1. "Show" by CLC

I will never let CUBE get away with sabotaging CLC. Their discography is a work of art. Yeeun is one of the best rappers in all of Kpop and CUBE can choke on their loss.
2. "Up to You" by PRETTYMUCH Feat NCT Dream

The best western artist and Kpop collab and y'all really let this slip through the cracks. It's a song about consent! War of Hormone is quaking.
3. "Get It" by Pristin V

Another perfect girl group ruined by a horrible company. As a CARAT and a justice seeker for Pristin, f PLEDIS. This song was ahead of its time and some of you need to wake up and start streaming this masterpiece. This was the time of tasteful girl crush concepts and I miss it.
4. "What You Wanted" by CIX

I'm sorry but CIX had one of the best debuts of all time and managed to also have this bop as a bside???? (side note: I will never not read their name in my head as 6)
5. "Journey to Atlantis" by LABOUM

Yes, this was in my top 5 most streamed songs of 2021. Enough said.
6. "Rodeo Station" by Exo-SC

I will admit, even as a long time EXO-L, I myself slept on EXO SC. I am embarrassed and ashamed. This song is a bside on their 1 Billion Views albums and it has honestly become one of my favorite albums of all time. I understand that they get a lot of flack for being Idol Rappers, not Rappers that happen to be Idols (you all know what I mean), but their music is actually immaculate.

10. And "I Need Somebody" by Day6

It's giving "Why yes, I have experienced depression. How could you tell?" and I'm not mad about it.
