Best And Worst June Debuts - Henry Is Far From Trapped And No One Wants To Mess With 2EYES

June was an exciting month for K-Pop. The long list of comebacks and debuts made for a great start to summer and gave us some of the best (and worst) jams of the year.

What new artist came out on top and who failed to make a lasting impression?

In terms of debuts, Super Junior M member Henry was the clear frontrunner. The first solo artist under SM Entertainment in a very, very long time, his debut solo single "Trap" was (and is) a huge success.

A fantastic song that clearly shows off not only Henry's sweet vocals, but also his talent. Many times idols' individual voices can get lost in a group, and "Trap" was the perfect opportunity for Henry to break out and not get 'trapped' by his participation in Super Junior M.

The piano melody throughout the song gives it a feeling of romantic passion and is complimented by simple choreography that does not steal away from the lyrics or tune.

Kyuhyun and Taemin add another level of dimension in the catchy single without overshadowing Henry, instead acting as a subtle highlight to his vocals.

Basically the only complaint that can be made about "Trap" is Henry's tube socks.

The worst debut of June was almost as easy to pick as the best - the new girl group 2EYES and their debut single "Don't Mess With Me."

While it is definitely not the worst song ever, it really seemed to hit the mark for effective June competition.

There does not seem to be a whole lot of originality in the song or in the presentation of the members. "Don't Mess With Me" could have easily been sung by just about any of the pre-existing girl groups and lacked the 'wow-factor' that would help launch their careers.

The video itself is also a big yawn, and while the dancing is not bad, cutting from the choreography to individual shots of the members and back again gets really boring really fast.

On the plus side, 2EYES was one of the few girl groups that did not parade around in panties during the month of June, so we have to credit them for that.
