Goodbye, I.O.I

I have such mixed feelings about I.O.I’s disbandment. In a way, I’m not overly sad because I know that all of these girls will either be in other girl groups or work as soloists. However, it’s clear that they developed a strong bond, and it’s sad that they won’t be able to see each other as regularlyContinue reading “Goodbye, I.O.I”

Dreamcatcher Debut Review: “Chase Me”

Dal Shabet’s little sister group Minx has revamped and redebuted as Dreamcatcher. They’ve completely reversed their image, going from sexy-cute to dark and edgy. I have been so excited for this ever since their teasers started coming out. I love their name, I love their logo, and I love their concept. It’s hard for meContinue reading “Dreamcatcher Debut Review: “Chase Me””

Sonamoo Comeback Review: “I Think I Love You”

It seems like many international K-Pop fans have at least one group that they feel is underrated and want others to stan. There are a lot of under-appreciated groups in this competitive industry and they all deserve attention, but I think that Sonamoo really needs a lot of love. Some groups are more popular in KoreaContinue reading “Sonamoo Comeback Review: “I Think I Love You””

NCT 127 Comeback Review: “Limitless”

I was pretty ambivalent about NCT as a whole throughout 2016. I like “The Seventh Sense,” but “Fire Truck” just isn’t my thing. And I have no connection with NCT Dream, being at least nine years older than any given member. Basically, NCT was a group that I didn’t closely follow. “Limitless” totally changed allContinue reading “NCT 127 Comeback Review: “Limitless””

WJSN Comeback Review: “I Wish”

Cosmic Girls has returned with a bright concept! Being pretty new, the rookie group has yet to land on a solid image. So far they’ve had cutesy debut “Mo Mo Mo,” sexy “Catch Me,” and the ethereal “Secret.” The latter was one of my favorite releases of 2016, so I was excited to see what they broughtContinue reading “WJSN Comeback Review: “I Wish””

AOA Comeback Review: “Excuse Me” and “Bing Bing”

2017 barely started before AOA dropped some new music. And they gave us two title tracks, no less! I like AOA’s songs and my boyfriend is a big fan (what a surprise), so both of us were anticipating this comeback. *SPOILER ALERT!* These reviews assume that readers have either heard the song and/or watched the musicContinue reading “AOA Comeback Review: “Excuse Me” and “Bing Bing””

My Favorite Songs of 2016: October – December

Maybe it’s because these songs were released more recently and I haven’t had time to get bored with them, but I feel like a lot of my favorite songs of the year were released in the fall. That is to say, a lot of songs that I would probably put in my Top 10 ofContinue reading “My Favorite Songs of 2016: October – December”

My Favorite Songs of 2016: July – September

This summer had a lot of fun releases that perfectly suited the season. It was dominated by girl groups, with the likes of Gfriend, Wonder Girls, I.O.I., and Red Velvet taking a lot of music show wins. My personal list of favorites for summer is female-dominated, so go girl power!

My Favorite Songs of 2016: April – June

Around this time, I realized that there was no going back: I was officially a fan of K-pop. So I embraced it. I watched even more MVs and variety shows. I got back into dancer mode and started to teach myself choreography from various dance practices (girl groups only so far). And I went to KCONContinue reading “My Favorite Songs of 2016: April – June”

My Favorite Songs of 2016: January – March

Happy 2017! Time to get cracking on this blog. It’s been over half a year since I originally set this up, and I stupidly did it while I was still finishing school (practically guaranteeing that I wouldn’t have time to work on it). But this is a new year, and my New Year’s resolution is to actuallyContinue reading “My Favorite Songs of 2016: January – March”
