Favorites of 2017: September
September started off what is turning out to be a long string of boy group comebacks, and my tastes are reflected accordingly. I really do try to stay balanced and listen to both girl and boy groups, but unfortunately, that doesn’t always work out. I confess that I spent most of my attention on EXOContinue reading “Favorites of 2017: September”

EXO Comeback Review: “Power”
EXO is going all in on their superpower idea, and my not-so-inner geek is absolutely loving it. Aside from “Mama,” most references to their debut concept have been pretty subtle. Music videos like “Lucky One” and “Ko Ko Bop” were more on the artsy side, hinting at their elemental abilities through cool visual techniques. SoContinue reading “EXO Comeback Review: “Power””
That’s Right, My Type: An Appreciation Post For EXO’s Sehun
While I enjoy writing recaps and reviews, the point of K-Pop is that it’s a fun and light-hearted activity. So I decided to start a column that shows more of my fangirl side on this blog. Having biases is a huge aspect of being a K-Pop fan. It’s hard to decide, but at the endContinue reading “That’s Right, My Type: An Appreciation Post For EXO’s Sehun”

GFriend Profile Added + A Bunch of New Content Coming Your Way
Another month, another group profile! I finished GFriend just in time for their comeback! I’ve also been working on one for a certain extremely popular boy group that’s coming back in less than a week…but I have other things I want to do, so I might put it to the side for a week or two. IContinue reading “GFriend Profile Added + A Bunch of New Content Coming Your Way”
Favorites of 2017: July
I had my suspicions before, but July proved I’m heavily biased towards SM artists. It’s more of a “I like their music/style” thing rather than a “SM is the best/blindly following the company” thing, but there it is. I always try to be diverse, since there are so many other groups out there to love.Continue reading “Favorites of 2017: July”
My Favorite Songs of 2016: October – December
Maybe it’s because these songs were released more recently and I haven’t had time to get bored with them, but I feel like a lot of my favorite songs of the year were released in the fall. That is to say, a lot of songs that I would probably put in my Top 10 ofContinue reading “My Favorite Songs of 2016: October – December”
My Favorite Songs of 2016: July – September
This summer had a lot of fun releases that perfectly suited the season. It was dominated by girl groups, with the likes of Gfriend, Wonder Girls, I.O.I., and Red Velvet taking a lot of music show wins. My personal list of favorites for summer is female-dominated, so go girl power!
