I’m currently finishing up the rest of my 2021 reaction posts, and “Sticker” is definitely a comeback that I want to talk about. While I’ve always considered myself a multifan, I often name NCT 127 as my “ultimate” K-pop group. And if I’m talking purely about the music, then they’re absolutely #1 on my list.Continue reading “Delayed Reaction: “Sticker” by NCT 127″

Delayed Reaction: “Deja Vu” by ATEEZ
As most of you already know, things are rather busy for me lately. There are lots of big changes happening, and I haven’t had time to write reactions for three months (cry). Normally, I’d just cut my losses and start over in the new year… but there are so many fall comebacks that I reallyContinue reading “Delayed Reaction: “Deja Vu” by ATEEZ”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Ping Pong” by HyunA and DAWN
HyunA & DAWN, aka K-pop’s resident power couple, have finally blessed us with a whole mini-album of songs as a duo. We all know they have a TON of chemistry, so it’s kind of thrilling to see that all come together both in music and onstage. (Well, I guess we’ve seen it before when theyContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Ping Pong” by HyunA and DAWN”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Zombie” by PURPLE KISS
Sadly, I get increasingly picky about rookie groups as time goes by – it’s truly not about quality or personal preference, but rather a natural result of the ever increasing age gap. I want everyone in this industry to succeed and do well, but I just can’t really connect to people who are more thanContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Zombie” by PURPLE KISS”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Stereotype” by STAYC
STAYC hasn’t even been around for a year yet, and I can already tell they’re going to be a force to reckon with. They’re one of the rookies I seem to hear about the most, and they’re clearly gaining momentum with each and every release. They’ve also picked up THREE music show wins so farContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Stereotype” by STAYC”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Talk and Talk” by fromis_9
(NOTE: This post is slightly shorter than normal due to lack of time and personal circumstances.) We’re already halfway through September, but I’ve FINALLY caught up enough to start reacting to this month’s releases. First up is “Talk & Talk,” fromis_9’s first comeback after their surprise move to Pledis Entertainment. To be honest, I wasContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Talk and Talk” by fromis_9″
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Outsider” by BTOB
I have to be honest here: I don’t listen to BTOB all that frequently. I think they’re amazingly talented (particularly in singing), and they definitely have some stellar songs. However, most of their music is generally not the kind I’m naturally drawn to. Despite that, I’ve always been fond of them and I make sureContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Outsider” by BTOB”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Splash” by MIRAE
(NOTE: This reaction post is a little shorter than normal due to lack of time and personal circumstances.) Truthfully, I haven’t been too invested in this year’s rookie groups so far. It’s not a question of talent or ability, since I always want everyone to succeed. It’s 100% about the major age gap at play,Continue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Splash” by MIRAE”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Trigger” by VERIVERY
(NOTE: This reaction post is a little shorter than normal due to lack of time and personal circumstances.) VERIVERY is one of those K-pop groups that I always end up forgetting about when I REALLY shouldn’t. I genuinely like their stuff, and I think it’s great they’ve really been stepping up their game lately –Continue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Trigger” by VERIVERY”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Gas Pedal” by CRAVITY
(NOTE: This reaction post is a little shorter than normal due to lack of time and personal circumstances.) Ah, CRAVITY. They’ve only been around for like a year and a half, but somehow my journey with them has been all over the place. They’re on a very small list of rookie groups I’m interested inContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Gas Pedal” by CRAVITY”
