What songs made this noona go “Aju NICE!” this week!
Welcome to the third episode of Noona Siti’s K-Radar 👏 I’m formatting this similar to a Korean music show, where I will list the Hot Comebacks & Debuts 🔥, The Special Stage 💎, The Top 3 Nominees 🔢 and The Final Winner 🏆There may also be a Special Global Stage 🌏
Before we hit down to the songs that caught my K-radar, a disclaimer that this is totally based on my own taste of music. There may be new music out there, which are good but did not make it to my list. It does not mean that those are bad songs. It’s not one I would listen to 🙇♀️

The Final Winner 🏆
- Afterlove by Ourealgoat: The song is really my kind of vibe and colour me surprised when I found out that he’s a rapper. He’s a rapper? The song does not have a hip-hop vibe at all, guys! To me, it’s more rock so I’m surprised when I found out. It gives me the kind of song you listen to while the rain was pitter-pattering on the window or when you’re walking in the rain while the world is going fast by you.
