Knee Jerk Reaction: “I’m Not Cool” by HyunA

The moment has arrived! After what seems like ages, HyunA has finally made her triumphant return to the K-pop scene. On the surface, “I’m Not Cool” is a fun moombahton dance song clearly meant for the club. But on a deeper level, it also shows a queen of K-pop completely in her element: sassy, unapologetic,Continue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “I’m Not Cool” by HyunA”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Odd Eye” by Dreamcatcher

Dreamcatcher was actually one of the first groups I reviewed when I started this blog four years ago. That was right when they debuted, and it’s crazy to see how far they’ve come since then. While I wish they had just a little more recognition, I’m so satisfied with everything they’ve done up to thisContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Odd Eye” by Dreamcatcher”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Burn It” by Golden Child

As you might have noticed, I’m not super familiar with most of the boy groups I’ve covered so far this month – I check out every comeback and I (probably) know everyone’s name, but my knowledge usually ends there. Golden Child, however, is a group that I’ve been interested in since their debut. I’ve seenContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Burn It” by Golden Child”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Love So Sweet” by Cherry Bullet

Cherry Bullet is a rookie girl group that I’ve been trying super hard to get into. I really enjoyed their more girl crush style song “Hands Up” last year, but they tend to go for more bright and cutesy stuff – which is nice but not my style. While their latest song “Love So Sweet”Continue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Love So Sweet” by Cherry Bullet”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “My Turn” by CRAVITY

Out of all the rookies that debuted last year, CRAVITY was one of the few I truly got excited about. I tried so hard to be firm about not adding more groups to my already huge list, but CRAVITY ruined my plans. In fact, I loved their debut song so much that it made itContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “My Turn” by CRAVITY”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “No Diggity” by ONEUS

ONEUS is another boy group that I sort of follow but haven’t really gotten into yet – although I HAVE finally learned to correctly pronounce their name as “One us” and not “Oh news” like I was doing for the past TWO YEARS. (Lesson learned: always check the names in Hangul.) I really enjoyed watchingContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “No Diggity” by ONEUS”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Stay Young” by AB6IX

I was so focused on writing and editing my Busted! recaps that I barely did anything that was actually related to K-pop last week! Thankfully, I have just enough free time to post my thoughts on some of last week’s releases before the next wave of comebacks. First up is AB6IX, who have released theContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Stay Young” by AB6IX”
