Knee Jerk Reaction: “CLOSE” by AB6IX

For some reason, I just don’t click with AB6IX like I do with other groups – and it’s driving me nuts because I REALLY want to. I’m familiar with most of the members because of Produce 101 and Wanna One, both of which I was very invested in, and I truly want them to doContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “CLOSE” by AB6IX”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Scared” by P1Harmony

Welcome to another edition of me reacting to a boy group I know next to nothing about! P1Harmony is the newest group from FNC Entertainment, which is basically the only thing I know about them. I have no idea what any of the members’ names are, and I couldn’t even tell you how many guysContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Scared” by P1Harmony”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Inside Out” by NU’EST

YAY NU’EST IS BACK! I feel like I’m not as vocal about them on this blog as I should be, but they’re genuinely one of my favorite boy groups. I have a particularly soft spot for them because I followed their Produce 101 journey so closely. Watching them go from a little-known group on theContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Inside Out” by NU’EST”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Atlantis” by SHINee

SHINee’s back… a lot more quickly than I expected! After waiting two and a half years for “Don’t Call Me,” we’ve gotten “Atlantis” in just under two months. Yay repackages! If you’ve read my previous post about “Don’t Call Me,” you’ll know that I REALLY loved it. It was easily my favorite song of February,Continue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Atlantis” by SHINee”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “ONE” by ASTRO

ASTRO is yet another group that I feel is doing well but deserves so much more. While they have a certain level of notoriety and success – and some truly fantastic songs – they haven’t had that “breakout hit” that would make them undisputedly top tier. I thought it would happen with “All Night” aContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “ONE” by ASTRO”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Killa” by MIRAE

MIRAE, the latest boy group from DSP Media, is the third rookie to debut this week. I literally know nothing about them except that one of the members is Son Dongpyo, who famously competed on Produce X 101 and was part of the short-lived X1. Plus there’s one other member was also on Produce XContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Killa” by MIRAE”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “House Party” by Super Junior

IT’S FINALLY HERE! At long last, Super Junior’s tenth full album (originally meant to celebrate their 15th anniversary) has been released. I have been waiting for this moment for months, and I’m so happy to have another Super Junior comeback to jump headlong into. Since they’re one of my favorite groups, I was originally planningContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “House Party” by Super Junior”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Young Blood” by Drippin

Woollim Entertainment’s newest group Drippin made their first ever comeback this week. Like many of the current male rookies out there, I know *of* them but not much *about* them. The main thing I’m aware of is that former X1 alumni Cha Junho is a member (and possibly the group’s face?), along with several otherContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Young Blood” by Drippin”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Do or Not” by Pentagon

Pentagon is truly a group that’s been through so much. I’ve detailed their ups and downs in some posts before, and I probably will again once I resume my Road to Kingdom recaps. So this time, I’ll just say that last year was thankfully a turning point for them in many ways. They poured aContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Do or Not” by Pentagon”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “I Like You” by Ciipher

This week is a super busy one for K-pop – not only are several groups having comebacks, but we also have a few rookies making their debut. First up is Ciipher, formed by veteran soloist Rain under his own agency Rain Company. Some of the members might already be familiar to you – especially ifContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “I Like You” by Ciipher”
