SHINee’s back… a lot more quickly than I expected! After waiting two and a half years for “Don’t Call Me,” we’ve gotten “Atlantis” in just under two months. Yay repackages! If you’ve read my previous post about “Don’t Call Me,” you’ll know that I REALLY loved it. It was easily my favorite song of February,Continue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Atlantis” by SHINee”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “ASAP” by STAYC
STAYC are promising rookies who debuted late last year, and they seem to have a pretty strong following despite being less than six months old. (The music video for “ASAP” has racked up over 13 million views in under a week!) I don’t actually know much about them except that they’re produced by Black EyedContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “ASAP” by STAYC”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “ONE” by ASTRO
ASTRO is yet another group that I feel is doing well but deserves so much more. While they have a certain level of notoriety and success – and some truly fantastic songs – they haven’t had that “breakout hit” that would make them undisputedly top tier. I thought it would happen with “All Night” aContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “ONE” by ASTRO”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Like Water” by Wendy
We Red Velvet fans have been waiting for Wendy’s solo debut for a long time, and it’s finally here! It’s an extra special moment for her, since this effectively serves as her definitive return to the music industry after her terrible accident at the end of 2019. (While she did a few activities and recordedContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Like Water” by Wendy”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Unnatural” by Cosmic Girls
Cosmic Girls is pretty high up on my list of K-pop groups that I think need more attention. They’re doing pretty well for themselves, and their names are fairly known within the industry… but after five years of activity, I don’t think they’ve gotten the recognition that they deserve. They’ve never had that one hitContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Unnatural” by Cosmic Girls”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Bambi” by Baekhyun
It’s a bittersweet time for EXO fans all over the world: Baekhyun has made an amazing comeback, but his military mandatory service isn’t too far off. (Fellow member Chanyeol also enlisted this week, making things extra emotional.) Thankfully, Bambi is a fantastic mini-album full of gems that serves as a beautiful send-off. Baekhyun can pullContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Bambi” by Baekhyun”
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: “Killa” by MIRAE
MIRAE, the latest boy group from DSP Media, is the third rookie to debut this week. I literally know nothing about them except that one of the members is Son Dongpyo, who famously competed on Produce X 101 and was part of the short-lived X1. Plus there’s one other member was also on Produce XContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Killa” by MIRAE”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “House Party” by Super Junior
IT’S FINALLY HERE! At long last, Super Junior’s tenth full album (originally meant to celebrate their 15th anniversary) has been released. I have been waiting for this moment for months, and I’m so happy to have another Super Junior comeback to jump headlong into. Since they’re one of my favorite groups, I was originally planningContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “House Party” by Super Junior”
Knee Jerk Reaction: “Young Blood” by Drippin
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”
