Knee Jerk Reaction: “In the Morning” by ITZY

I’ll just come out and say it: I love ITZY so much. Normally, it’s pretty hard for me to get into a group that’s so much younger than I am – I’m a full decade ahead of oldest member Yeji – but I enjoy their music so much and I find it totally irresistible. IContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “In the Morning” by ITZY”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “GRATATA” by HOT ISSUE

Though I constantly say I’m not looking to pick up any more K-pop groups, I’ve been curious about HOT ISSUE’s debut. So far this year, I’ve written twice as many posts for male artists as I have for female artists. Therefore, I’m genuinely excited to see another girl group arrive on the scene. I’ll admit,Continue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “GRATATA” by HOT ISSUE”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Ugly Dance” by ONF

It’s been a long time coming, but ONF is FINALLY getting the attention they deserve. After receiving their first ever music show win with “Beautiful Beautiful” in February – a major milestone achievement – they’ve made a quick turnaround and released “Ugly Dance” as their repackage single. While I already liked it from the start,Continue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Ugly Dance” by ONF”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Drunk-Dazed” by ENHYPEN

I’m honestly so behind with ENHYPEN that it’s not even funny. I didn’t have time to watch I-LAND when it aired last year, so I decided I wouldn’t spend too much time on them until I did. (I like watching survival shows because it helps me get to know a group better.) Per usual, IContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Drunk-Dazed” by ENHYPEN”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “CLOSE” by AB6IX

For some reason, I just don’t click with AB6IX like I do with other groups – and it’s driving me nuts because I REALLY want to. I’m familiar with most of the members because of Produce 101 and Wanna One, both of which I was very invested in, and I truly want them to doContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “CLOSE” by AB6IX”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Scared” by P1Harmony

Welcome to another edition of me reacting to a boy group I know next to nothing about! P1Harmony is the newest group from FNC Entertainment, which is basically the only thing I know about them. I have no idea what any of the members’ names are, and I couldn’t even tell you how many guysContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Scared” by P1Harmony”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Inside Out” by NU’EST

YAY NU’EST IS BACK! I feel like I’m not as vocal about them on this blog as I should be, but they’re genuinely one of my favorite boy groups. I have a particularly soft spot for them because I followed their Produce 101 journey so closely. Watching them go from a little-known group on theContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Inside Out” by NU’EST”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Atlantis” by SHINee

SHINee’s back… a lot more quickly than I expected! After waiting two and a half years for “Don’t Call Me,” we’ve gotten “Atlantis” in just under two months. Yay repackages! If you’ve read my previous post about “Don’t Call Me,” you’ll know that I REALLY loved it. It was easily my favorite song of February,Continue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Atlantis” by SHINee”
