Try some of these:

T-ARA - Absolute First Album
BoA - Kiss My Lips
SHINee - Why So Serious?: The Misconceptions of Me
BTS - Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt. 1 and 2
SEVENTEEN - Boys Be
EXID - Ah Yeah/Hippity Hop

I would also receommend SNSD's first Japanese album, it's basically Kpop anyway lol

everyone says Reboot by Wonder Girls is a must and it's talked about/praised a lot... sorta like that recent Carly Rae album. listen to EX'ACT by EXO

With that said, I think you should listen to title tracks from different groups first and use the MVs as visual aid to decide what's for you or not. Then from there, you can check out whoever you like's album

Pink Tape and Red Light by f(x) are generally considered (some of) the best k-pop albums.

Most of the time in k-pop however the title track/single is usually the best song from the album and there's not many b-sides worth bothering with though there are some exceptions.

Thanks guys!

I hear the most praise for f(x) so I'll probably start with them. All of the K-Pop I've heard so far, I've really enjoyed. I'm not good at articulating why, but I find there's a level of polish and energy from these artists that I haven't been getting from a lot of western artists lately. I guess that's the reason why I'm drawn to the genre.

I see I was right to be doubtful

This is pure noise. I don't get how this was produced by the same producer of Sketch, Apple Pie and Fantasy because they were done so well

T-Swizz

They're only 6% away from snatching the top spot on melon
Come thru sones

Can't wait for Cheer Up to overtake that snsd song

Yes I have, plenty of times. In fact exactly 1 month ago I included them
in my list of essential 4th of July celebration bops with the timeless iconic oh! (here!)
Only faT ugly Bottoms would deny quality SNSD from their lives.

Hopefully they'll be able to purchase a semi-decent vocalist with all those Cheer Up coins

I'm excited for Cosmic Girls. Catch Me was so good, but that other song sucked. If they go down the Catch Me lane, I'd be slayed.

We need a big ass girl group serving choreo and quality instead of just cuteness. Come thru Starship

You should definitely continue with f(x) since their discography is flawless and unique

It was only a matter of time

This is just the demo version mashed up with IOI's vocal from the teaser though...

~~The official version might be a bit different~~

Could I ask you all for some suggestions?

I've dabbled in K-Pop before, and I'm itching for more.

I was lead to Reboot and 4 Walls last year because of their acclaim, and I found out about Why So Lonely a few days ago. I really love all 3 a lot.

Those are the only albums I have in my iTunes, but I've vibed with everything I've seen on YouTube (Girls Generation, 2NE1, Orange Caramel, Red Velvet). Are there any albums that are considered "required listening" that I should tackle first?

I've recently got into KPOP aswell and here are some of my suggestions

Groups:

f(x) - 4 Walls (highlights: 4 Walls, Cash Me Out, Deja Vu, Rude Love)
Red Velvet - The Red (highlights: Dumb Dumb, Time Slip, Camp Fire)
2NE1 - Crush (highlights: MTBD, Gotta Be You, Crush, Come Back Home)
Brave Girls - Highheels (highlights: the whole EP actually)
4Minute - Crazy and Act7 (Hate and Canvas from Act7 and Crazy from Crazy)

Soloists

Taeyeon - Why (highlights: Why, Night, Fashion, Hands On Me)
Tiffany - I Just Wanna Dance (highlights: I Just Wanna Dance, Talk, Heartbreak Hotel)
IU - Chatshire (highlights: Glasses, Twenty Three (both versions)
Hyuna - Awesome & A+ (highlights: Roll Deep on A+ & Seduction and Hows This on Awesome)

I stan for Moonbin, Rocky and Sangha. Moonbin is #2 now after he hugged that male fan like a girlfriend. I want him to hug me too.

-1 for not repeating the first half of the chorus enough.

OMG SAME! I payed it so much dust only for it to become one of my fav songs.

I got into Sistar's discog the other day and it's surprisingly great.

Astro's answer to Oh My Girl's YooA and Mimi.

Like GORRRRRRLLLL, Moonbin's thighs are demi-god levels.

This is the first time I'd heard the demo I was too lazy to search it up.

I hope it's different pls @IOI

UP10TION's visual Wooshin getting more lines than the others. That's unusual for other groups.
