Hello all! I’m taking a break from profile updating to try out out something new. Back when I was more active on this blog, I used to do a Top 50 list of my favorite K-pop songs at the end of each year. (NOTE: Even though I say “songs,” I actually mean “comebacks” or “debuts”Continue reading “My Favorite 30 K-Pop Songs From the First Half of 2020”

A summary of the news, current and upcoming comebacks, charts and music show wins, and more! (Sorry this one’s a little late!)
Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2018: #41-50
You might have noticed that I labeled this series of posts “Top K-pop Releases” instead of “Top K-pop Songs.” That’s because I believe there’s a lot more to a group’s comeback or debut than just the song. While the music should always be the main focus, there are so many other elements that can shapeContinue reading “Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2018: #41-50”
Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2017, Part Five: #11-20
This is probably the most personal section of my list. I tend to naturally follow the trends, so most of my Top 10 songs were really popular in Korea or internationally (or both). But interestingly enough, this second tier speaks a lot to my more individual tastes. Given the content of half of these songs,Continue reading “Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2017, Part Five: #11-20”
Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2017, Part One: #51-100
About a year ago, I kicked off this blog with my 50 favorite K-pop songs of 2016 listed by season. This time, I decided it would be fun to do an “official” ranking. So, I grabbed a set of index cards and wrote down all the songs I wanted to talk about… only to endContinue reading “Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2017, Part One: #51-100”

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”
Favorites of 2017: April
April was one of those months where everyone and their mother had a comeback. There was so much music that it was definitely hard to keep up! For someone so multifandom as I am, it got pretty overwhelming. But the good part was that there was a lot of variety and that there was somethingContinue reading “Favorites of 2017: April”
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””
Dreamcatcher Debut Review: “Chase Me”
Dal Shabet’s little sister group Minx has revamped and redebuted as Dreamcatcher. They’ve completely reversed their image, going from sexy-cute to dark and edgy. I have been so excited for this ever since their teasers started coming out. I love their name, I love their logo, and I love their concept. It’s hard for meContinue reading “Dreamcatcher Debut Review: “Chase Me””
