I feel like Lovelyz is one of those groups who are kind of in the middle but still doing pretty well. They haven’t yet achieved “notoriety” or reached some milestones considered important for a K-pop group’s success (like music show wins). But they seem to have a solid fandom, and their albums and songs chart well.Continue reading “Lovelyz Comeback Review: “WoW!””

Favorites of 2017: February
While there were several newer groups like K.A.R.D. that had strong comebacks, February belonged to the heavy hitters. Red Velvet dominated the first half of the month, while top groups of 2016 BTS and Twice battled it out in the second. Powerhouse Taeyeon ended the month on a high note with a solid album. There was aContinue reading “Favorites of 2017: February”
Twice Comeback Review: “Knock Knock”
It’s amazing how far Twice has come in such a short time. They’ve accomplished so much in a year and a half! 2016 was very good to them, and it seems that 2017 will be no different. In the space of its short promotion, “Knock Knock” has topped the charts, gone head to head with BTSContinue reading “Twice Comeback Review: “Knock Knock””
K.A.R.D. Comeback Review: “Don’t Recall”
K.A.R.D. is getting so much attention, and they haven’t even officially debuted yet! It seems like there is definitely interest for a new co-ed group, with many potential fans excited about their future. There’s a lot of hype over these guys, but I think that they’re going to be able to live up to it. They’re building a solid foundationContinue reading “K.A.R.D. Comeback Review: “Don’t Recall””
BTS Comeback Review: “Spring Day” and “Not Today”
Last year saw BTS’s meteoric rise to the top, and it doesn’t look like they’re going anywhere. They smashed all kinds of records with Wings and “Blood Sweat and Tears,” and they continue to do so with their repackage You Never Walk Alone. Their latest comeback is very typical BTS: good music, meaningful lyrics, intricate choreography,Continue reading “BTS Comeback Review: “Spring Day” and “Not Today””
NCT Dream Comeback Review: “My First and Last”
NCT did well with their various debuts, but it seems like they’ve really stepped up their game this year. “Limitless” was awesome, and I’m really liking “My First and Last.” While I’m fairly concerned about how much rest Mark and Haechan got these past few months, I think that this is a really great comeback for NCTContinue reading “NCT Dream Comeback Review: “My First and Last””
SF9 Comeback Review: “Roar”
SF9 really impressed me with their debut last fall. I didn’t know a whole lot about them because I quit watching d.o.b (their survival show Dance or Band) halfway through. They weren’t doing so well when I stopped, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that they were going to debut first. What they’ve doneContinue reading “SF9 Comeback Review: “Roar””
Red Velvet Comeback Review: “Rookie”
I’m always down for a Red Velvet comeback. They’re not just one of my top girl groups – they’re one of my top K-pop groups period. I wasn’t quite as enamored with “Rookie” as I am with some of their other title tracks, but I think that it does fit well with the signature soundContinue reading “Red Velvet Comeback Review: “Rookie””
Favorites of 2017: January
I was expecting January to be a slow time for K-pop, but we still got a lot of great of music. Female artists basically dominated this month for me. A lot of my favorite rookie girl groups had comebacks, Dreamcatcher had a strong debut, Seohyun and Suzy released amazing music, and three of my favorite biases hadContinue reading “Favorites of 2017: January”
CLC Comeback Review: “Hobgoblin”
To put it kindly, Cube Entertainment has been going through a lot of changes lately. They just lost their two most influential groups when they disbanded 4minute and Beast decided to form their own agency. Although they still have Hyuna and Hyunseung, their remaining idol groups must really be feeling the pressure. CLC is theContinue reading “CLC Comeback Review: “Hobgoblin””
