The 25 Best K-pop Albums of 2019: Critics' Picks

K-pop gave the world many amazing albums this year, and Billboard's critics highlighted the 25 best.

After starting out their career making a name for themselves with one bright and fresh hit after another, Seventeen have spent much of the past two years sorting out what it means to be a boy band maturing away from its original musical styling. As an act that has had members producing its music since the start of their career, the 13-member team has been able to experiment and try out new things over the years while attempting to sort out what it means to be Seventeen. An Ode is the culmination of that, as a pristinely-produced 11-track LP that spends its time showcasing the group’s distinct artistry while showing that they haven’t left their youthful, playful past behind wholly but have grown into their own sonically.

Beginning with the promise of sharing their rambunctious "Hit" sound with the world in the straight up banger of an opening track, the poetic nature of An Ode begins with the melodious "Lie Again," which leads to the drama of the introspective lead single "Fear." "Let Me Hear You Say" with its rollicking take on Seventeen’s brand of playful electronic dance tracks follows and opens up the album to its central section, leading into the section where smaller units of members get to show off their musical flair.

The atmospheric rhythmic ballad feels of "247," which features the act's performance team, are followed by the primary vocalists coming together on "Second Life" to sing about their hopes for another lifetime together with a loved one, before the act's foreign members team up on the funky standout "Network Love," which takes a few groovy moments to explore what it means to be in relationships in the digital age. The siren-fueled hip-hop team's "Back It Up" completes the unit-oriented part of An Ode, and leads into the final three songs of the album. Things close out with a Korean version of previously-released Japanese single "Happy Ending," but the group’s early style of warm and bubbly songs appears on "Lucky" and "Snap Shoot" before it arrives.

Throughout it all, An Ode may be aimed at listeners but it is truly an homage to Seventeen’s thoughts and artistry, and showed us all how to remain earnest to an identity while still evolving. And it’s an instant K-pop classic because of it. -- T.H.

It makes me so happy to see how successful they have become, I remember being so scared they would disband shortly after debut due to Pledis's struggles (the first group I ever streamed for lol).

this is what happen when they get marketed as a comedian group during quarantine the fact that ppl are at home with nothing to do and pledis happen to be running an ad for going seventeen too lol
