The Stan Ontology K-pop Roundup of 2020

Stan Ontology

What a year it's been

It's here! It's finally here! Listen to Stan Ontology crown the Taemin Of The Year, the peaks and nadirs of NCT, celebrate the output of some special soloists, revisit the Summer of Disco, and finish with a warm hug and a staggering, wild-eyed prophetic track about the vibe of this bizarre year, covering all of our favourite stuff in K-pop along the way.

You can listen to all of the tracks that we discuss a listen via this end-of-year playlist - we've picked our favourite performances of these songs, but as always, there's a wealth of choreo vids and alternate versions we leave for you to find, dear listener.

• For more crop-topped sweater goodness, here's TXT with Blue Hour.
• Please mentally overdub Claudia saying "a notoriously controlling group" with "a notoriously controlling label"; she meant SM Entertainment, not SHINee.
• Behind-the-scenes for That One Shot in the Naughty MV.
• NCT Resonance also gave us Hendery with cat ears, the supreme project
• weEEeeE baaAllinN'
• Charlie Puth - Attention
• We say "dribble" a lot, huh? May I propose that it was a dribbly year.
• GFriend - Fingertip
• Say it with us: ✨ r e v i s i o n i s m ✨
• Actually I will leave it to you to imagine what "rice withdrawal" feels like, the context being "when I first left to go to uni in the US" - Claudia.
• Shaun - Way Back Home
