Katherine’s K-Pop Recap: January 4-10, 2021
As part of my plans for 2021, I decided to bring back my weekly news recaps (though I tweaked things a little bit). Keep reading for a summary of this week’s news, current and upcoming comebacks, charts and music show wins, and more!
Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2020: #21-30
Back in June or July, I made a list with a bunch of K-pop songs that I liked from the first half of 2020. With two exceptions, all of the songs in this post were originally high up on that list. Originally, I was drawn to them because I thought they were really creative andContinue reading “Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2020: #21-30”
Katherine’s Top K-pop Songs of 2019: A (Somewhat) Brief Summary
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”
Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2018: #1-10
Yes, this does in fact say “2018.” I WAS planning on writing my regular Top 50 list for 2020, but I came across this as I was going through my drafts and cleaning out some old posts that never got written. I TOTALLY thought I had posted this before I moved to Korea and wentContinue reading “Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2018: #1-10”
An Irene Fan’s Thoughts on Recent Events
The K-pop world saw its latest media storm several days ago when an editor/stylist posted on Instagram about a recent bad experience with a celebrity. People quickly figured out it was Red Velvet’s Irene, who made both an online and in-person apology along with her agency SM Entertainment. Since then, the industry appears to beContinue reading “An Irene Fan’s Thoughts on Recent Events”
Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2018: #11-20
Though I consume a lot of K-pop (clearly), I don’t actually spend a lot of time listening to the same songs. I tend to really get into a group’s new single for however long they promote it, and then I file it away and move on to the next track of the week. So althoughContinue reading “Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2018: #11-20”
Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2018: #21-30
I call this part of the list the “Favoritism” section. That might seem a little weird since we’re basically halfway through the series, but it’s because I changed things up this year. I decided to allow more than two songs by my favorites groups because it was a more accurate reflection of what I reallyContinue reading “Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2018: #21-30”
Katherine’s K-Pop Recap: January 1-6, 2019
A lot has happened this week in K-pop, and we’ve barely even started 2019! January is normally kind of a slow month, but it looks like things are shaping up to be quite busy.
A First-Timer at KCON New York (Part Two): Saturday’s Concert
In the years since I’ve discovered K-pop, I’ve been lucky to attend a fair amount of concerts. They’re usually on the smaller side in terms of venues (the downside of being a Western fan), and I’ve always been impressed by how the fans’ excitement makes everything seem so much bigger. But there’s nothing quite likeContinue reading “A First-Timer at KCON New York (Part Two): Saturday’s Concert”
