Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2020: #1-10
I’m really excited about this year’s Top 10 because it’s a little different from past ones. As a K-pop fan, I usually just jump from one comeback to the next and love whatever’s trending at the moment. So normally, my Top 10 list is filled with songs from the end of the year – generallyContinue reading “Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2020: #1-10”
Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2020: #11-20
The closer we get to the top of this list, the easier it is to see how much my personal preferences come into play. Many of the groups here are my long time favorites, and have appeared in similar rankings on previous lists. A lot of the songs also share similar traits, either in theContinue reading “Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2020: #11-20”
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”
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”
UPDATED TWICE PROFILE!
Happy August, everyone! July was quite busy at work because we were trying to make sure we could fit everything in before the end of the semester (teaching 6 units in two months is a challenge). And I did take a slight detour to write a little bit about my favorite music of 2020 soContinue reading “UPDATED TWICE PROFILE!”
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”
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.
