Wanna One Debut Review: “Energetic” and “Burn it Up”

It’s hard to believe there was a time people scoffed at the idea of a male Produce 101.  But even for the less skeptical, Wanna One has had an astounding amount of success. They literally dominated August, from charts to music shows to even variety show viewership ratings.  I did a profile on them, and myContinue reading “Wanna One Debut Review: “Energetic” and “Burn it Up””

SNSD Comeback Review: “Holiday” and “All Night”

These are turbulent times for K-pop’s second generation, especially for female idols. In the past year, we’ve seen so many iconic girl groups disband: Kara, 4minute, 2NE1, Wonder Girls, and my personal favorite Sistar (*sobs*).  With all these unexpected goodbyes, it’s kind of a miracle Girls’ Generation made it to the ten year mark.  TheContinue reading “SNSD Comeback Review: “Holiday” and “All Night””

That Time I Went to see Monsta X: Beautiful Tour in Paris 2017

I can’t believe it’s already been two weeks since Monsta X was here! I’m usually not much of a concert goer, but I’m pretty flexible when it comes to K-pop groups.  They don’t often come to Paris and they never come to Boston, so I gotta see my faves when I can.  And Monsta XContinue reading “That Time I Went to see Monsta X: Beautiful Tour in Paris 2017”

Group Profile Update – Wanna One added!

Hi again! I want to apologize to frequent visitors for the lack of activity on this blog – this summer’s been a busy one! I have a lot of different posts in the works, but I still have to edit most of them.  In the meantime, I’ve been working on building up my Group ProfileContinue reading “Group Profile Update – Wanna One added!”

Favorites of 2017: July

I had my suspicions before, but July proved I’m heavily biased towards SM artists.  It’s more of a “I like their music/style” thing rather than a “SM is the best/blindly following the company” thing, but there it is. I always try to be diverse, since there are so many other groups out there to love.Continue reading “Favorites of 2017: July”

Favorites of 2017: June

June is my favorite month!  To be fair, that’s really because I was born in June (Gemini all the way, baby). It’s probably because I’m biased, but it always seems like only good things happen this month. And June has given me some of my absolute favorite K-pop songs.  While I favored some of theContinue reading “Favorites of 2017: June”

Favorites of 2017: May

Oh my gosh, May feels like forever ago. K-pop moves so darn fast.  There wasn’t a whole lot going on in the beginning (because of elections?), but the last week brought a whole rush of comebacks that threw me off schedule.  I considered skipping this post altogether because it’s been so long, but ultimately my perfectionism needContinue reading “Favorites of 2017: May”

Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 11 Recap: I Hope I Get It

(I’ve been waiting three months to use that A Chorus Line reference) I’ve finally made it to the end!  Well the show finished like a month ago…but besides me just being slow, I think I’ve needed this long to process the final results.  Season 1 was fun, but Season 2 took me on a roller-coaster ride ofContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 11 Recap: I Hope I Get It”

Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 10 Recap: Voters are Pretty Unpredictable

This season has had some very interesting and stressful eliminations.  I really don’t remember Season 1 being like this! It always seemed like the rankings were pretty logical every week, with the girls’ actions pretty much corresponding to their level of popularity.  I was still nervous for the finale, but it was pretty easy to guess whoContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 10 Recap: Voters are Pretty Unpredictable”
