Most popular concepts in 2018 that Kpop fans will remember forever

1. Culture-based inspiration
Culture has been vastly appreciated this year both musically and visually through K-pop.
We all acknowledge BTS' record-breaking hit to date, “Idol,” where they paid homage to Korean culture by showcasing it through the song’s instrumental and lyrics as well as modern hanbok look, which left us in complete awe.
2. Rebellion
Since K-pop is often linked to cute themes, it always feels nice to see some groups come out of their shells with a badass image that has us gladly asking for more.
Throughout their MVs, EXO has always had a nudge for raw and resilient visuals, and “Tempo” fits in undoubtedly!
3. Movie adaptations
We all have a soft spot for the classics, and when a blockbuster resurfaces via a remake, the experience is doubly enjoyable. Albeit very concise, MVs sometimes deliver that exact feeling.
All while keeping their cheerful aura, TWICE amazed us by reproducing epic scenes from some of the best movies of all time. “La La Land” and “The Princess Diaries” are a couple of examples featured in this nostalgic MV!
4. Femme fatale
If we learned anything from the following messages, it’s that women are not to be messed with.
Jennie elegantly proves to us through her recently launched solo that she can perfectly stand alone.
5. Retro
The retro pattern has been spotted quite significantly this year with a set of striking MVs that complement the groovy style.
“I Love You” is indisputably the ideal retro feature as it marks EXID’s first five-member comeback in a while, just like the good old times.
6. Suits
Away from K-pop’s usual flashy wardrobe, this outfit gives the genre a whole new definition, and a fine one at that.
BTOB cleans up nicely as they rock monotone suits in a rather colorful set for their “Only One For Me” MV.
7. Cosmos
The universe is full of wonders, and the following acts ethereally trace back to its phenomenal beauty.
WJSN (Cosmic Girls) members are subliminally staying true to their name, as their dreams come true via the MV below.
8. Exotic vibes
Who doesn’t love beautiful scenery, good ambience, and great music?
WINNER is currently owning this theme with their yearly comebacks, and they continuously make us want to join in on the fun!
