Hi all! I know I said I’d be posting my 2020 favorites soon, but the perfectionist in me just feels weird not putting up a 2019 list when I have one for every other year on this blog. So even though I’m really just making things harder for myself, I decided to take another quickContinue reading “Katherine’s Top K-pop Songs of 2019: A (Somewhat) Brief Summary”

MAMA 2020 Recap: Predictable Awards, but Epic Performances
Ah, MAMA. Out of all the Korean music awards shows, MNET’s is probably the most talked about and the most divisive among the K-pop fandoms. Personally, I have a love-hate relationship with it. Much to my frustration, the awards have been getting more and more predictable every year. I’m proud of all the groups andContinue reading “MAMA 2020 Recap: Predictable Awards, but Epic Performances”
My Favorite 30 K-Pop Songs From the First Half of 2020
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”
UPDATED NCT PROFILE!
Hey all, here’s another weekly update about how the eternal reformatting is going. I know I said Monsta X was up next, but it turns out I was wrong. I didn’t realize the rest of the NCT pages needed so much work, but I spent the past few days on it and now everything shouldContinue reading “UPDATED NCT PROFILE!”
UPDATED NCT Dream Profile!
Hi all! As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been working on updating NCT’s overall profile. Since I was waiting for NCT 127 to finish releasing teaser images for their repackage (plus their album and MV), I figured I’d start with NCT Dream. Turns out there was a LOT to add since I initiallyContinue reading “UPDATED NCT Dream Profile!”
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”
November Updates: NCT Profile+ End of the Year Plans
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I realize that many people who read this blog aren’t actually from the United States, but I think that taking a moment to be grateful is something we can all relate to. I have a lot to be thankful for this year both personally and professionally, but here on this blog I’mContinue reading “November Updates: NCT Profile+ End of the Year Plans”
Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2017, Part Three: #31-40
The songs in the last post ended up being pretty diverse, with lots of different styles and moods. This time, the majority of them happen to be really upbeat and catchy. There are a few that are more emotional and introspective, but I think it’s safe to say my preference for dance tracks will beContinue reading “Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2017, Part Three: #31-40”
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: August
This was a crazy month for K-Pop. There was so much going on it took me all the way through September to catch up! It’s probably because I spent most of August focusing on SNSD’s 10th anniversary and Wanna One’s debut, but there were plenty of great new releases. Sometimes these posts are biased becauseContinue reading “Favorites of 2017: August”
