Music Show Wins:: Week of 01/14 - 01/20

  This is an exciting week for the wins! We've got some first wins for songs, which I'm loving, but more excitingly, we had two different milestones happen! First up, we had a group's first win! Congrats to idntt on that all important first win! And with the subunit's debut as well! That's so cool! Second, we had a triple crown from Inkigayo! Congrats to Hwasa for that! It was also girl group domination this week, so that's pretty cool, ranging from second gen (Apink) to fifth gen (ILLIT). I like the range here.

Continuing with my stubborn insistence on supporting the smaller groups, this week's After School Club re-run is ATBO on ep. 576 from 2023. I'm not happy that they've been disbanded, but I hope that the members are doing well despite this. For this episode, we didn't have the full list of members as two of them were participating in King of the Masked Singer at the time. I found a really interesting performance on The Show from earlier this year, and I thought it was fitting to include now that Lay is fully back with EXO, because this is his group! These are his girls! They're singing in English, but still! Their stage presence is no joke! And for the extra performances from this week, I decided to pick two from Show! Music Core because I am indecisive and thought this would be a good range. First is DK and Seungkwan performing Blue and showing off those gorgeous amazing vocals. The second is Joohoney and his sharp rapping with STING.

As always, the links in the spreadsheet go to my reviews. If you like the performance, you could always check out the review. That would be okay. And the link down with the ASC performance is a link instead of the video embedded because the live streams get a bit weird about being embedded, so this is just the easiest way for everyone. You don't have to look at the "Please open in Youtube" video thing this way.
