Abuela's BONUS Song of the Day (Nov 15)
SuperM - Tiger Inside youtu.be/jUsUzbmSLow
cw: flashing, pyrotechnics, camera motion
CC in 8 tracks, incl ENG
Flashing back to the imaginary year of 2020 with SM's first super group. In which the lore is quietly loring but it doesn't matter anymore.
Two screenshots in a distressed rainbow-hued frame (top and bottom bar only, blue to red left to right gradient) with a black to light grey slash from bottom left to upper right, the phrase Midweek New Music Roundup atop the divider. Above the bar, a young Korean woman (rapper and producer Jessi) shot from above as she sits on a white table. She's wearing a black leather racing jacket with white and brown details and sponsor patches, plus a brown patterned scarf and sunglasses, while sticking her tongue out at the camera. Below the slash, long shot of a young blond Korean (Hoshi of SEVENTEEN) perched on a set piece made to look like the head piece of a giant electric guitar. He's wearing severely torn up denim, a white tank, and an open black jacket, his head tilted back as he looks up at the ceiling Center bottom text reads November 5th - 12th.

my #writing plan, such as it is, for the week ahead.

In the center, an upshot of a young Korean woman (soloist MIRANI) in a short brown leather skirt(+shorts) and strappy leather tank, sitting astride a motorcycle. Rightmost, a down shot of all ten members of Korean boy group xikers, all in assorted black streetwear and bunched together in an elevator. Title text reads Midweek New Music Roundup. Bottom text reads October 29th - November 5th.
