Twice Comeback Review: “Knock Knock”

It’s amazing how far Twice has come in such a short time.  They’ve accomplished so much in a year and a half!  2016 was very good to them, and it seems that 2017 will be no different. In the space of its short promotion, “Knock Knock” has topped the charts, gone head to head with BTSContinue reading “Twice Comeback Review: “Knock Knock””

K.A.R.D. Comeback Review: “Don’t Recall”

K.A.R.D. is getting so much attention, and they haven’t even officially debuted yet!  It seems like there is definitely interest for a new co-ed group, with many potential fans excited about their future.  There’s a lot of hype over these guys, but I think that they’re going to be able to live up to it.  They’re building a solid foundationContinue reading “K.A.R.D. Comeback Review: “Don’t Recall””

BTS Comeback Review: “Spring Day” and “Not Today”

Last year saw BTS’s meteoric rise to the top, and it doesn’t look like they’re going anywhere.  They smashed all kinds of records with Wings and “Blood Sweat and Tears,” and they continue to do so with their repackage You Never Walk Alone. Their latest comeback is very typical BTS: good music, meaningful lyrics, intricate choreography,Continue reading “BTS Comeback Review: “Spring Day” and “Not Today””

NCT Dream Comeback Review: “My First and Last”

NCT did well with their various debuts, but it seems like they’ve really stepped up their game this year. “Limitless” was awesome, and I’m really liking “My First and Last.” While I’m fairly concerned about how much rest Mark and Haechan got these past few months, I think that this is a really great comeback for NCTContinue reading “NCT Dream Comeback Review: “My First and Last””

SF9 Comeback Review: “Roar”

SF9 really impressed me with their debut last fall.  I didn’t know a whole lot about them because I quit watching d.o.b (their survival show Dance or Band) halfway through.  They weren’t doing so well when I stopped, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that they were going to debut first.  What they’ve doneContinue reading “SF9 Comeback Review: “Roar””

Red Velvet Comeback Review: “Rookie”

I’m always down for a Red Velvet comeback.  They’re not just one of my top girl groups – they’re one of my top K-pop groups period.  I wasn’t quite as enamored with “Rookie” as I am with some of their other title tracks, but I think that it does fit well with the signature soundContinue reading “Red Velvet Comeback Review: “Rookie””

CLC Comeback Review: “Hobgoblin”

To put it kindly, Cube Entertainment has been going through a lot of changes lately. They just lost their two most influential groups when they disbanded 4minute and Beast decided to form their own agency.  Although they still have Hyuna and Hyunseung, their remaining idol groups must really be feeling the pressure.  CLC is theContinue reading “CLC Comeback Review: “Hobgoblin””

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””
