Oh I've almost missed #KpopMonday #SoloLadiesofKpop entirely, but I can't let it go entirely....
BoA - Emptiness https://youtu.be/mpG4AotIuEc
cw: flashing, live spider
Things that are impossibe: picking just one favorite BoA track. The queen who suckered me into Kpop all the way back when. And we love her for it.
Just want to squeeze a second song in while it's still Monday somewhere since this is such a Monday song - feeling overwhelmed by work culture and needing a break :D
The video is from Janet Suhh's first stage on the idol competition Girls on Fire. I don't know if it ever got released on its own. Also, if you like her voice, she's got some great OSTs from 2020-22.

Also this beautiful song, I can’t ignore.

Soyeon was covered already so going with one of my fav releases this year.
MINNIE - Blind Eyes Red
Y'all are posting so many killer MV's for today's theme. This one doesn't have an official MV (though there's a pretty awesome fan made one!), so here's a live performance of Stay a Little Longer by Rosé

This song and music video are super cute.

Ok last one. Gorgeous Kim Sejeong on magical journeys, self-belief, perseverance and overcoming fears, because this track (and the very A Midsummer Night's Dream MV) always makes me feel better.

I keep thinking of more amazing KPop women to add.
Here's delightful ADORA, beloved by ARMY, quirky and adorable and underrated IMHO.
This one is about being young and free, doing as you please and not caring what others think. Blah Blah Blah!

Hwasa is so bad ass. She doesn't fit the current beauty standard for female Korean pop stars - not thin enough - and this song is her response to that.

Went through the tag and realized no one had posted Taeyeon yet, so of course I had to rectify that!
INVU is one of my favorite songs from Taeyeon. It has such a simple instrumental so this song is carried entirely by her vocals, and what a treat it is. I'm so glad she fought for this to be the title track for this album.

We have to have fierce and amazing Lee Young-Ji - on the absence of her father. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

We can't talk about female soloists in kpop without talking about Ailee. She's one of my favorite vocalists and arguably one of the best vocalists in the industry.
I picked "Mind Your Own Business", the title track off her 1st full album, purely bc it's such a fun song to sing.

Older kpop fans might remember Hyoseong from SECRET, another one of those iconic 2nd gen groups, but she also debuted solo in 2014!
Today, I bring you "Find Me" from her 2016 EP, "Colored".

It's no secret that I love Chungha, so of course she was going to pop up!
I picked her solo debut song, "Why Don't You Know", because while she's done a variety of genres over her solo career, there is an essence of this song that is retained in everything she's released since. (Or maybe it's just Chungha herself lol)
