"Feast Mode" - MONSTA X, probably

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TURKEY NOM DAY, Y'ALL!

In honor of being thankful, or at least more thankful than a normal day?, we will be sharing the moments/things in kpop that we're thankful for. I thought about if I should just focus on the current year or if I should just mention moments I'm thankful for in my almost 20 years of kpop history and I decided the latter would be more fun for me. SO, here we go!

• "Your dog speaks Chinese?!" - Eric Nam

• Taemin doing the apple kick from Twilight and kicking it directly into his face

• SHINee losing it at Kai reenacting the parking lot scene from Twilight

• SAY THE NAME, SEVENTEEN. I just really love Seventeen, y'all. And Choi Seungcheol.

• EXID's Hani literally saving the entire group with her iconic fancam

• Stray Kids "God's DDU-DDU-DDU" performance on Kingdom and turning Ryan Reynolds into a STAY - I love it here

• BTS' Jungkook's wine-drunk VLIVE - he was an eNTIRE MOOD and basically me when I've enjoyed my fill of wine

• Chung Ha's "God Is A Woman" performance? out of this world.

• MAMAMOO's Killing Voice performance just destroys me and I'll never shut up about it

• TWICE's Dahyun absolutely nailing Jihyo in the boob with her elbow

• The saga of SF9's Rowoon and his fanboys

• Cho Chanhyuk from TO1

• Every. Single. Time. an idol drops their cake

• ONEUS FIRST WIN!

• Kim Kibum and Kim Jonghyun from SHINee

• GOT7's Park Jinyoung being absolutely finished and done with the rest of GOT7, just like me tbh

• The horrific (epic?) styling from the early 2000's - lookin' at you, Triangle DBSK/TVXQ, early EXO, super early SHINee, early Super Junior, mullet-era BoA, BEAST, and so many more

• TOO/TO1's "Rising Sun" performance on Road to Kingdom, especially Chanhyuk during the 'slow down' dance break? OFNAIUFASFDSAF

• TXT's wig-gate

• Literally the ENTIRE SHOW GOOD GIRL because we got sO MUCH GREATNESS FROM IT

• "We're not a team, this is a competition" - Jessi

• MONSTA X's Jooheon in their "Versace On the Floor" performance

• ALL OF THE MOMENTS THAT SHADE JYP

• Y'all. Hui and Somin's "Swim Good" performance? LOOOOOOL TOO GOOD FOR WORDS.

• Hit the Stage! SPECIFICALLY Yugyeom, Momo, and Ten.

• BTOB. That's it. That's the tweet.

• HWANG HYUNJIN'S RETURN TO THE INDUSTRY WITH THE PLAYING WITH FIRE SELF-CHOREOGRAPHED MASTERPIECE.

• The chaotic ass 'Boy's Day' cover/collab of Girl's Day' "Something"

• BOA'S CHOREO FOR WOMAN AND I WILL NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT IT, THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TEDTALK.

• GOT7's Jackson being absolutely disgusted by JYP's collab with MAMAMOO at MAMA (same, Jackson)

• Seventeen being the BEST CHOREO KINGS and the most synchronized masters to ever exist. I would attach videos and that one clip from Idol Room showing them being perfectly in line but, like.. literally there are so many choreos I love from Seventeen? YOU'LL SEE MORE SOON IN ONE OF MY NEW SERIES, COMING SOON.

• TXT's Minisode 1: Blue Hour because we got the most iconic songs (bless Blue Hour and We Lost the Summer)

• SPEAKING OF TXT, THE STUDIO CHOOM PUMA PERFORMANCE BECAUSE CHOI YEONJUN WITH THAT LIP CHAIN? BYE

We have SO much incredible content to be thankful for and, frankly, I haven't even scraped the surface of it all with this list. Most importantly, I am thankful for you all since you really make this passion project possible. I am also incredibly thankful for Bee, Libby, and Dawn for helping to contribute to this amazing experience.

So much love and light for you all!
