Just A Little Fangirl Love

Release date: 2026 May 18 Album tracklist: 4SHO 4SHO; YEAH! YEAH! ; NO HI, NO HEY; RUN IT UP; GUKBBONG; MOYA; THE PURGE 4SHOMIX; PUBLIC ENEMY 4SHOMIX (feat. DJ Wegun) Album runtime: 26 minutes  It's kind of adorable that the CEO had the kids join him for an entire album. What's more surprising is that the runtime is a bit over three minutes on average, the title track is over three minutes, and there are several songs over four minutes. But I have to put this on Underage Protocol because of LNGSHOT. So, sorry, Jay Park, except you debuted the child. Most of the instrumental is of the style where it's present but largely unobtrusive and the changes are subtle. Most of it is a couple of different beats layered over each other, but there's a rattle-in-your-bones quality that holds the song with a low center of gravity. There isn't really a quick uptick in energy at any point, nor does it go the other direction and fully drop at any point. It's there. It's suppo...

Release date: 2026 March 23 Album tracklist: Good Girls (Louis), Boo Thang (Woojin), Summer Eyes (Ohyul), For Us (Ryul), Vanilla Days Album runtime: 14 minutes  Ooh, I was not aware that they were dropping a mini album (single?). I don't love the group yet, but I'm still curious and I did like their debut song a bit. So I'm still hoping for a song that will make me absolutely fall in love. Will it be this one? I have no idea. I can't listen to the group yet either, because they're under Underage Protocol, but I'm happy to hold onto groups and wait for them if they fully catch my attention. Time passes whether I want it to or not. This does make sense why I suddenly started getting clips from them though. I found out that Jay Park is about as hard on pronunciation as JYPark is, which makes sense having heard from both g.o.d members and 2PM members how relentless the JYPE founder is on pronunciation. You know, the song starts off smooth and a little sultry, and th...

Release date: 2026 January 13 Album tracklist: Backseat, Saucin' , Moonwalkin', FaceTime, Never Let Go Album runtime: 15 minutes  Okay, Jay Park's kids have offi cially debuted so congrats to them! Whoo! I saw a comment from him today that he thinks K-Pop has lost its romanticism, and LNGSHOT are his way of correcting that. Regardless of whether or not he's correct, and whether or not you agree with him, that's a bold statement to make and have be the mission statement, so to speak, for a group. It does give me a very specific forward facing expectation to what they're going to be doing in the future, but, for now, we've got this. And because of the maknae's age, this is going on Underage Protocol. But, even though I'm very disappointed in that, we've got an average of three minutes per song and the title track is a very healthy three-and-a-half minutes. It’s funny that you can hear Jay Park’s R&B roots in this song. It’s a very smooth song ...

Release date: 2026 January 13 Album tracklist: Backseat,  Saucin' ,  Moonwalkin' ,  FaceTime, Never Let Go Album runtime: 15 minutes  Well, well, well. I wasn't quite sure what to make of this group given that I'd never seen the name before (not that it really matters because there are at minimum hundreds of groups I'm still not familiar with even by name) until I saw a post about Jay Park debuting his first group. At which point my eyebrows raised, and I decided I needed to make sure I got this reviewed since they'll be one of the first debuts of 2026. That's right, I'm already worrying about the debuts in 2026. Unfortunately, even if I wanted to be really excited about the group, I can't, because even with only four members, the maknae won't be sixteen until a few months after they're supposed to debut. He's a May birthday. Not going to lie, I'm a little bit disappointed in Mr. Jay Park for this. So, Underage Protocol it is. What a ...
