Knee Jerk Reaction: “After School” by Weeekly

Weeekly is yet another rookie group that I’m not super familiar with. I pretty much just know them as the latest group from Apink and Victon’s agency (Play M). I can recognize a couple of the members, but I don’t know most of their names. And while I did listen to their first two singles,Continue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “After School” by Weeekly”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Ponzoña” by PURPLE KISS

FINALLY, I get to write about a girl group again! Nothing against boy groups, but I feel like I’ve been covering so many of them lately. And I normally listen to an even mix of both, so I’ve been feeling rather out of balance for a while. Thankfully, PURPLE KISS has provided me with somethingContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Ponzoña” by PURPLE KISS”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Odd Eye” by Dreamcatcher

Dreamcatcher was actually one of the first groups I reviewed when I started this blog four years ago. That was right when they debuted, and it’s crazy to see how far they’ve come since then. While I wish they had just a little more recognition, I’m so satisfied with everything they’ve done up to thisContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Odd Eye” by Dreamcatcher”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Love So Sweet” by Cherry Bullet

Cherry Bullet is a rookie girl group that I’ve been trying super hard to get into. I really enjoyed their more girl crush style song “Hands Up” last year, but they tend to go for more bright and cutesy stuff – which is nice but not my style. While their latest song “Love So Sweet”Continue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Love So Sweet” by Cherry Bullet”

Review: “화(火花)(HWAA)” by (G)I-DLE

Like I said a few days ago, I’m bringing my reviews back! Writing reviews was actually one of the main reasons I started this blog in the first place, so I’m really excited to get back into the swing of things. Since I don’t have as much time as I used to, I’ve chosen toContinue reading “Review: “화(火花)(HWAA)” by (G)I-DLE”

The End of an Era: Saying Goodbye to Girls’ Generation as We Know Them

As sad as it is, the second generation of K-Pop is slowly ending. For almost two years now, we’ve been constantly peppered with breaking news of the latest disbandment or lineup change. Sometimes it’s not surprising, like Choa parting ways with AOA after a hiatus and months of rumors. Sometimes it’s completely out of theContinue reading “The End of an Era: Saying Goodbye to Girls’ Generation as We Know Them”

SNSD Comeback Review: “Holiday” and “All Night”

These are turbulent times for K-pop’s second generation, especially for female idols. In the past year, we’ve seen so many iconic girl groups disband: Kara, 4minute, 2NE1, Wonder Girls, and my personal favorite Sistar (*sobs*).  With all these unexpected goodbyes, it’s kind of a miracle Girls’ Generation made it to the ten year mark.  TheContinue reading “SNSD Comeback Review: “Holiday” and “All Night””

Twice Comeback Review: “Signal”

Sometimes I feel like I have a love-hate relationship with Twice.  I really like them, but I get frustrated because I think JYP isn’t using them to their full potential (the agency, not the person).  They have catchy songs, appealing personalities, and stunning visuals – but we all know that by now.  I wanted toContinue reading “Twice Comeback Review: “Signal””

EXID Comeback: “Night Rather Than Day”

I’m a little on the fence with EXID.  I like the group themselves (Hani is one of my top biases), and I like their music.  But none of their songs have really grabbed at me.  The only one was “Up and Down,” which I definitely overplayed to death.  I was slightly skeptical when they announced a newContinue reading “EXID Comeback: “Night Rather Than Day””

Dreamcatcher Comeback Review: “Good Night”

Dreamcatcher has definitely gotten a lot of interest from the international community in the past few months.  The girls are clearly going all in on the dark horror aesthetic, and so far it looks like it’s paying off.  While “Chase Me” already ventured into the supernatural, “Good Night” goes full-on occult – and I’m happyContinue reading “Dreamcatcher Comeback Review: “Good Night””
