Everyone always has their opinions about when was the best year/era to be a kpop fan. But when I was discussing with one of my friends the other day, we both agreed that SM Entertainment as a company were unmatched in 2018 and I don’t think they’ve managed to replicate what they did in 2018. And to be honest, they probably never will.
- The entire NCT 2018 project – Black on Black, Go, Touch, Baby Don’t Stop, Boss, the list goes on really.
- Red Velvet having Bad Boy, Power Up and RBB all in the same year. An insanely good run.
- Red Velvet also had the amazing Japanese release #Cookie Jar
- Shinee started their Story of Light series with the phenomenal song Good Evening.
- BoA had EVERYONE dancing with One Shot, Two Shot and absolutely FLOORED everyone with the upside down walking choreography in Woman.
- NCT 127 releasing their first album Regular-Irregular and the repackage.
- NCT Dream’s (at the time) farewell to Mark with We Go Up.
- EXO releasing Tempo and Love Shot!! Admittedly I am not a big fan of Love Shot but even I can’t deny it was EVERYWHERE.
- SNSD Lil Touch subunit!!!!! Everyone was LIVING during this era and I remember the petitions to have a full dance practice released (which we never got sadly). Probably still my favourite release of all of the ones I’ve mentioned so far.
- SM Station releases!! Wow Thing, Baekhyun, NCT Dream, etc etc
I feel like I’m forgetting some SM artists who dropped absolute classics in 2018 so if I have please drop them in the comments, I am writing this on an empty stomach at work so please excuse my memory.
