Hey y'all! This Kpop hag stan needs to place to vent! I'm ending S2 with my thoughts on the comebacks from my 2nd gen queens. I hope this community will be a safe space for me to share my thoughts (be nice!)

Corrections/Clarifications
- If you haven't seen the M/V for Hyoyeon's Second, just watch her performance on Dingo's channel. The editors did the work, and Hyoyeon casually owned the choreography.
- I need to add that I love Hyolyn and Dasom's friendship. I love a good LeMak moment, and I looked forward to their collaboration (the Dazed magazine photos...I mean...).
- Hyolyn's "To Find a Reason" does not part of her Ramblings series. The songs from that series are Happiness and W.O.E.
- Are hats with bangs a new (or returning) fashion item in Kpop? I saw it in the M/V's for Weekend and Summer or Summer. Can we put that accessory back in Hell's closet where it belongs?
- While cosplaying as Malificent, Fei is sporting a ponytail, not a bun.
- Upon a re-listen (with some light chair twerking), I enjoyed CL's Spicy the most out of any comeback this year, but I had to rate it lower than Summer or Summer out of principle.
- Jiyeon has a diamond-studded side part with her black outfit, not her white one.
