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: “Kick Back” by WayV
(Yes I know that WayV sings in Chinese and is not *technically* K-pop, but I still want to talk about them a bit.) After a 2020 filled with nothing but highs for NCT, WayV is the first unit to kick off what’s sure to be another jam-packed year. Though I’ve always felt they’re slightly underratedContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Kick Back” by WayV”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Why Why Why” by iKON
I always feel so bad for iKON. Even though they’re from a big company and have more advantages than others, they’re still treated so badly. Their career has had a lot of highs and lows compared to other groups who debuted around the same time. And while those highs brought great things, those lows cameContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Why Why Why” by iKON”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Get Away” by VERIVERY
Like many idols I’ve been writing about recently, VERIVERY is a group that I know of but don’t know well. I watched their first music video back when they debuted, which I found pleasant but a little young for my personal tastes. And I enjoyed seeing them on Road to Kingdom, but for some reasonContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Get Away” by VERIVERY”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Fireworks (I’m the One)” by ATEEZ
I feel slightly embarrassed to admit it, but I genuinely don’t know ATEEZ that well. I could tell you the names of about three members, but I couldn’t correctly identify them in a group picture. And I’ve listened to all their songs at least once, but I only really remember a few. It’s seriously toContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Fireworks (I’m the One)” by ATEEZ”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Beautiful Beautiful” by ONF
One of the main things I took away from Road to Kingdom is that ONF is insanely talented yet criminally underrated. Luckily, it seems like their appearance on that program has started to pay off. Since I’m late to the party as always, I can tell you that ONF just won their very first musicContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Beautiful Beautiful” by ONF”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Tail” by Sunmi
Sunmi’s solo career has been absolutely flourishing over the last several years. She always delivers catchy as hell songs filled with her own eclectic flair, truly marching to the beat of her own drum. “Tail” fits right into that unique musical world she’s built for herself post-JYP, but it also reminds me of the musicContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Tail” by Sunmi”
Review: “Don’t Call Me” by SHINee
Let’s all stage whisper together, everyone: “SHINee’s back.” (Well, they’ve been back for over a week… but I’m behind as usual.) It’s been a long two and a half years as most of the members fulfilled their military service, but one of South Korea’s most popular 2nd generation groups has finally returned with another fantasticContinue reading “Review: “Don’t Call Me” by SHINee”
Knee Jerk Reaction: Produce 101 Alum Edition
Since February has been kind of a slow month for K-pop (so far), I’ve mostly been focusing on pushing out recaps and haven’t been listening to much music. Though I’m not usually as invested in solo music like I am with group comebacks, I just had checked out some of February’s new solo releases andContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: Produce 101 Alum Edition”
