It took me forever to check out Girl’s Day because of their hiatus. Now I totally wish that I had discovered them sooner, because I absolutely love them. They have great music, great moves, and great style. Hiatuses can be tough on a group’s relevancy, so they must be top tier girl if they’re stillContinue reading “Girl’s Day Comeback Review: “I’ll Be Yours””

Monsta X Comeback Review: “Beautiful”
Monsta X is hands down one of my favorite groups. I like everything about them: music, choreography, MVs, personalities/variety sense – and yes, visuals. While they’re pretty successful and well-known compared to other rookies, they have yet to really “hit it big.” Unfortunately, “Beautiful” is not smashing through the charts or racking up music show winsContinue reading “Monsta X Comeback Review: “Beautiful””
Highlight Review: “Plz Don’t Be Sad”
The group formerly known as Beast has definitely had some trying times. Original member Hyunseung left just about a year ago, and the remaining members departed from Cube to create their own agency at the end of 2016. Though the contract renewal negotiations were over, name negotiations weren’t. Cube had apparently just trademarked it and holds the rights to itContinue reading “Highlight Review: “Plz Don’t Be Sad””
GOT7 Comeback Review: “Never Ever”
GOT7 has a special place in my heart because they got me into K-pop over a year ago. Though they’re not always my ultimate bias group (which changes frequently because of my fickle heart), they remain high on my list of favorites. I was really looking forward to Flight Log: Arrival, and I wasn’t disappointed. Their trilogy hasContinue reading “GOT7 Comeback Review: “Never Ever””
B.A.P. Comeback Review: “Wake Me Up”
In my last post, I mentioned that I liked BTOB more for their personalities than their music. I feel the opposite way about B.A.P. I do enjoy their variety shows and broadcasts, but I literally became their fan because of one song. Last fall, “Skydive” smashed into my life to become one of my favorites. I was really movedContinue reading “B.A.P. Comeback Review: “Wake Me Up””
BTOB Comeback Review: “Movie”
You know how sometimes you like a group for their personalities more than their music? That was me with BTOB. I think that they’re hilarious and I always look forward to their variety shows, but I just couldn’t get into their music. Don’t get me wrong, I can tell that they’re immensely talented. But I never foundContinue reading “BTOB Comeback Review: “Movie””
GFriend Comeback Review: “Fingertip”
Normally, I avoid teasers because I find them misleading. But GFriend’s teasers got me so hyped. The Awakening, indeed. The popular girl group is clearly ready to their expand their horizons, and this comeback is supposed to signal a big turning point. It turns out that “Fingertip” isn’t that different from their previous work, but it’s a solidContinue reading “GFriend Comeback Review: “Fingertip””
Taeyeon Comeback Review: “Fine”
Love her or hate her, Taeyeon is undeniably a major force in the K-pop industry. Her album is charting well, and she got both an all-kill and a certified all-kill only a few days after the release – after the major changes to the chart, no less. Her new album shows her at her bestContinue reading “Taeyeon Comeback Review: “Fine””
Gugudan Comeback Review: “A Girl Like Me”
I’ll admit it: I really only paid attention to gugudan because of the I.O.I connection. That is, I did at first. As I got to know more about them, I came to appreciate them as a whole. They’re a very talented group with a lot of potential, and they have a lot of charm. While I wasn’tContinue reading “Gugudan Comeback Review: “A Girl Like Me””
Lovelyz Comeback Review: “WoW!”
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!””
