Just A Little Fangirl Love

  Well, everyone, there's a single name on this week's win list. Congrats, EXOLs, and welcome back, EXO! First of several dominations of the year, I expect, but for now, Crown  has a full grand slam!  So, for the extra stages, we've got NOIR on After School Club , in ep. 420 from 2020. They're a boy group that debuted in 2018, and it looks like this was their final song, but that doesn't negate the five releases they had. I took a listen to the whole song before I watched this episode because I was curious about it since I'd never heard of the group before. It's a solid song (I also recommend Panic and Think About Chu from the same album because those are really good songs and do not be surprised if after this next batch of suggestions, you see something by the group show up in my GH or BBS posts). They showed off their vocals and I'm impressed. I cheated a little for The Show because I really wanted to show off Rocket Punch but it was a cover (which ...

 Y'all, I am so stoked about this batch of wins. That's my girl right there! Congrats to everyone else on their wins! Sorry for the lack of energy in this. I just found out about Baekho's enlistment, which I knew had to be coming, but my dude literally put it off until the last moment. Which means he won't be getting out until June of 2027, I think. "The sooner they go in, the sooner they come out" which is my normal, go-to pep-talk, doesn't really apply in this case. Anyway, I grabbed Rocket Punch for the ASC re-run (they're adorable), Golden Child for The Show re-run (I freaking love their music), and Verivery for the extra stage from Music Core  (synchronization kings right there). They're all excellent.  The links in the spreadsheet go to my reviews. The link down on ASC goes to the episode because it's weird about embedding the actual video.  Show Champion: Stray Kids "Do It" MCountdown: N/A Music Bank: ILLIT "NOT CUTE ANY...

 So, this week is a little bit weird in that we're coming off of Chuseok, so the music shows haven't quite come back in the swing of things yet. I'm assuming that The Show didn't have one, which makes it only a first time win and a third triple crown. Quite the spread. For the After School Club re-run episode, I went with episode 540 from 2022, with the always lovely Rocket Punch! I really like this group, y'all.
