Bad Habits
Junny
Junny works in the Korean-Canadian R&B lane that opened up after Dean and Crush proved a Korean singer could sound genuinely diasporic without translating himself, and this track leans hard into that fluency — English and Korean traded mid-phrase, neither treated as the guest language. The production is sleek and small: muted guitar or Rhodes, finger-snap-adjacent percussion, sub-bass doing most of the emotional lifting, everything mixed with a lot of space around the voice. His delivery is soft-edged and slightly lazy in the way contemporary R&B rewards, phrases trailing off, falsetto used as texture rather than climax. "Bad Habits" is about the self-aware kind of return — knowing a person is a pattern you keep repeating, naming it, and going back anyway, which he sings without moralizing. There's no big chorus payoff; the hook works by being catchy and resigned at once. It's a late-night text-message song, the sound of your thumb hovering over a name at 1am. In the Korean market it belongs to the post-2018 wave of R&B that stopped chasing idol structure and started trusting groove and mood to hold a listener.
