WordPress tells me this is my 300th post, and I’m delighted that it coincides with my review for my favorite girl group. In case you didn’t know, Red Velvet has been in that number one spot for several years now. (I’ll try real hard to not be a fangirl in this post, but I can’tContinue reading “Review: “Queendom” by Red Velvet”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Thrill Ride” by The Boyz
It’s kind of wild how my feelings about The Boyz have changed in such a short amount of time. They debuted during a period when I was pretty ambivalent about youthful and upbeat music – which was their original concept – so I didn’t really pay attention to them for a while. But when IContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Thrill Ride” by The Boyz”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Popping” by ONF
I can’t believe this is the THIRD time I’m writing about ONF in six months – they’ve truly been everywhere recently. But all that hard work is clearly paying off, because 2021 is turning out to be one of their best years yet. After earning their first ever music show win and getting some greatContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Popping” by ONF”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “You Can’t Sit With Us” by Sunmi
While I don’t listen to K-pop soloists as much as groups, Sunmi is an artist I always keep my eye on. I prefer some of her releases over others, but I’m always impressed by how creative and inventive she can get. And in that respect, her new single “You Can’t Sit With Us” certainly doesn’tContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “You Can’t Sit With Us” by Sunmi”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Holiday Party” by Weeekly
Weeekly is still a young group, but they’ve established their signature sound in just over a year – which I always think is quite impressive, because it takes many rookies a while to find their footing. All of their title tracks so far have been bright and bubbly, with easily memorable melodies and interesting arrangements.Continue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Holiday Party” by Weeekly”
Katherine’s K-pop Recap: August 9-15, 2021
A summary of the news, current and upcoming comebacks, charts and music show wins, and more!
Knee Jerk Reaction: “After Midnight” by ASTRO
ASTRO generally does pretty well for themselves, but I’ve always hoped that they would become more “mainstream” successful and get some more attention. (Like I mentioned in my last post about them, my Korean elementary school students – aka the ones who know about all what’s trendy in pop culture – only recognize Cha Eunwoo.)Continue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “After Midnight” by ASTRO”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Ra Pam Pam” by Golden Child
Golden Child is definitely a group that I’d like to see get some more recognition. Their discography is so solid, and they consistently do good work. They’ve also been getting more creative as time goes by, which I find pretty impressive. When they released “Burn It” in January, I was so taken by their musicContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Ra Pam Pam” by Golden Child”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Dumb Dumb” by Jeon Somi
As some of my regular readers might know, I don’t spend a *ton* of time listening to solo artists. I cover a decent amount of them on my blog, but this is a rather new development that’s part of an effort to expand my horizons. So as a result, I’m not super familiar with Somi’sContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Dumb Dumb” by Jeon Somi”
Favorites of 2021: July
(We’re basically halfway into August, but whatever LOL) July was kind of a slow month for K-pop – I was actually surprised at how few comebacks there were, but I guess no one wanted to overlap with the Olympics. Since there wasn’t a lot happening, I ended up changing my music listening habits. I spentContinue reading “Favorites of 2021: July”
