Billboard critics chose the 25 best Kpop songs of 2019
With the world now truly entering what is largely being called the "Fourth Wave of K-pop", we are looking at an industry standing on the precipice of much-needed change: in terms of how it treats its stars, how they connect with fans, and how its existence is gradually becoming a normal part of global music culture.
Taking this all into account, we put our heads together to determine what were the stand-out songs coming out of the Korean scene amid all of this. Focusing on singles, we named the top 25 songs of 2019 and shared our thoughts below. For the uninitiated , “jopping” is a jocular portmanteau of "jumping and popping." A favorite pastime for many, surely, but is it an apposite theme for a supergroup billed as "K-pop’s Avengers"? It turns out: yes, and resoundingly so.
