songs i like layer 1: "rough" - gfriend (written 11/11/24)

this song means a lot to me. i started listening to kpop the previous year, but "rough" really made me fall in love with the genre.

the melancholic, nostalgic vocals with the classical instruments make my heart hurt every time. it's the best feeling.

this song came out in winter 2016. i listened to it a lot while outside in the cold, which is the perfect environment for it.

the music video, to me, is one of the most iconic mvs in all of kpop. the choreo, the school setting, the snow, the member's expressions, all fit perfectly with the vibe of the song.

i just love it so much.
