Thank You!
Quite late getting this out, so we'll keep it short. Thank you to everyone who participated in fun, interesting, and constructive conversations throughout the year. As always, a MASSIVE thank you to all the folks who use their own time to voluntarily help with the wiki pages, community projects, and posting new content while abiding with our guidelines and rules. r/kpop could not run as smoothly as it does without all of you!

Welcome to the curated favorite releases post!
We're a little late this time, but these discussions happen on a quarterly basis every year to give the community a chance to gush over their favorite recent releases. You are free to discuss your favorite songs, albums, music videos, and performances from the first three months of the year. You can list, link, discuss, and generally celebrate the releases you've loved the most however you wish, just don't be mean about anyone else's taste!
So r/kpop, what have you loved so far?
For reference!
