If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know how much I love EXO. They weren’t the ones who got me into K-pop, but they were the second group I discovered and they quickly became one of my favorites. They’ve consistently remained in my Top 5 groups throughout the years, and seeing themContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Don’t Fight the Feeling” by EXO”

A summary of the news, current and upcoming comebacks, charts and music show wins, and more!(Sorry this is a little later than normal – this past week and weekend have been pretty crazy for me)
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Gambler” by Monsta X
Monsta X was one of the very first K-pop groups I discovered and started following, so they’re truly near and dear to my heart. One of the great things about being a long-time K-pop fan is seeing how your favorite groups evolve over the years, and I’ve really loved watching Monsta X’s musical journey inContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Gambler” by Monsta X”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “OX1=Love Song (I Know I Love You)” by TXT
It’s pretty clear TXT is blossoming as one of the leaders of K-pop’s fourth generation. And while they’re doing really well for themselves now, I predict that success and popularity is going to rise exponentially over the next few years. But although I definitely see and understand the hype, I must admit I don’t personallyContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “OX1=Love Song (I Know I Love You)” by TXT”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Hello” by Joy
I was absolutely delighted to hear that Joy would be the next Red Velvet member to get a solo album. I wasn’t expecting that at all, so it was a wonderful and welcome surprise. Her solo debut is a little unique in that her album is actually all remakes of songs, specifically Korean tracks fromContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Hello” by Joy”
Favorites of 2021: May
(I feel like this post comes out later every time I do it, but life has been truly crazy lately @.@) Up until this point, picking a few favorites each month was pretty easy.

K-Pop Starter Kit: What’s In Store for June
Happy June, everyone! Because of some shifts in my schedule, my plans for the K-pop Starter Kit have changed just a bit from what I’ve said before. So, I just wanted to briefly talk about what I’m going to do this month before I start in earnest.
Knee Jerk Reaction: “First” by EVERGLOW
EVERGLOW is a group that I’ve definitely had my eye on for the past couple of years. Their music and aesthetic are both totally my style, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that I live for their comebacks. They reeled me in from the beginning with “Bon Bon Chocolat,” and I’ve been here everContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “First” by EVERGLOW”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Butter” by BTS
I’ve been listening to BTS for over five years now, and I’m constantly impressed by everything they’ve accomplished. I’ve seen their whole meteoric increase in global popularity – something that will never cease to amaze me – and I’m certain that “Butter” will help their star rise even higher. That being said, I must confessContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Butter” by BTS”
