A Fangirl’s Review: Elo Reality Check

Elo’s Reality Check marks his return after what feels like a million years. If he can come back after all that time and bless us with greatness, then damn it, so can I. It’s time to review one of the best R&B albums of 2022, and yes, you can quote me on that. Let’s dive in without further ado.  Got It Bae As soon as I heard Zion.T‘s voice whispering the trademarked Gray, I knew we, the listener,…

A Fangirl’s Review: NCT 127 Sticker

Reviewing NCT 127 Sticker album was not in my plans when I woke up this morning. Plans change. It’s been a while since I reviewed anything on my blog, and after listening to the title track, I wasn’t sure if this album was for me, but I decided to give it a try while running my errands. I’m so glad that I did because BABY! Let’s get into it, shall we? Sticker A friend said that Sticker is like…

Baekhyun: Light Beyond Live Concert

Baekhyun‘s Light Beyond Live concert was early this morning, and I still haven’t recovered. Before the announcement of his solo concert, I had decided I wasn’t going to do any more late-night events. I work seven days a week with a very early wake-up call, but when Baekhyun, I have to answer. He didn’t disappoint. This review will be detailed but will have fangirl moments, so apologies in…

“Sweet Home” Leaves Fans Desperate For Season 2

Three times. I’ve watched Sweet Home three times this week. By the time this post goes live, it might be more. Was the drama that good? Possibly. I have a not so quiet love for horror webtoons, and Sweet Home was one of the first ones I read. When I learned a Korean drama adaptation was coming, I nearly hit the roof. It felt like forever, but after months of waiting, Sweet Home was finally…

CRUSH ‘With Her’ Is A Masterpiece

Crush is back. I repeat, Crush is back. (insert fanfare) It wasn’t that long ago when he gave us the Ohio single album, and now he’s back with With Her. The five-track album will be his last before he starts his military obligations. He’s set to enlist on November 12th, the day before my freaking birthday. Thanks for that present. Seriously though, as a veteran, I understand his decision, so I’m…

They’ve partnered with Sessions, an online platform to create this event. There…

KPOP-TV Is Now In NYC

Kpop fans get their content any way they can. Usually, the go-to way is Youtube. There are times, however, when Youtube isn’t available. What do you do then? Wouldn’t it be great if you could turn on your tv and find your latest obsession dancing across your screen? KPOP-TV might be the answer you need.

SuperM Releases The Tiger Inside Us With New Album

It’s 5:30 am, and I’m fully dressed. Why? I’m counting down the hours until Target is open so I can grab a few copies of SuperM’s newest album. I’m aware that I said I was not buying any more albums. Don’t judge me. I’ve been counting down the hours of this release since that first “Hey big head” text they sent a few weeks ago. SuperM and whoever runs the text account send me more messages than…

Wonho Asks For You To Keep An Open Mind

Wonho‘s solo debut album dropped today, and I couldn’t wait to listen to it. Wonho’s name has been on the lips of many k-pop fans for many years. Once part of Monsta X, he’s now a soloist and ready to show he still has it. As you know, I take my music reviews very seriously, I’m ridiculous and overdramatic, so I set my alarm to wake me up as soon as his album was released. Naturally, I slept…

My goodness. 2020 has been shitty, hasn’t it? We’ve been plodding along, and what seems like a blink of an eye, we’ve entered September. The unofficial end to convention/concert season. KCON has decided to give us fans something to look forward to with the announcement of KCON:TACT 2020 FALL. If you remember, the first KCON:TACT was a week-long event in June. KCON:TACT 2020 FALL is claiming to be…

BoA 20th Debut Anniversary

BoA’s 20th debut anniversary recently passed, and as part of the celebration, SM Entertainment artists released songs that BoA created. Baekhyun started the series with Garden In The Air, a song that BoA released back in 2005. While I enjoyed BoA’s version, Baekhyun’s version has that RnB vibe that I absolutely love. While listening to the song, it made me think back on when I first heard BoA.

James Lee Builds Castles With New EP

I’ve been keeping tabs on James Lee. Wait that sounds creepy. What I mean to say is I’ve been a fan of James Lee for years now. It started with Royal Pirates after I came across their Drawing The Line m/v on Youtube. I was devastated when I read about his accident and consequent retirement. Jump to 2018 when he announced a Kickstarter for his debut solo album. I was excited and felt like a proud…

LAY’s Album Is Lit. That’s It. That’s The Title

Alright, listen. I know my last article is about LAY‘s, but that was before I heard his entire album’s greatness. I used to have a series called Music Tuesdays, where I talked about new music releases that I enjoyed, and why. LAY has inspired me to bring that back, and yes, I know today isn’t Tuesday.

This m/v has to have been one of the most incredible videos I’ve EVER seen. Lit has a DRAGON

He is China’s current top #1 idol becoming the highest-ranked Mandopop star on Billboard 200 chart and the first…

Stray Kids First Take On Tower of God

Stray Kids and Tower of God. A year ago, I wouldn’t have believed it. Let me explain. I don’t talk about it much, but I’m a lover of webtoons. It all started when a friend of mine suggested demanded I read a few. I’ve been hooked ever since. Usually, I read horror toons like Bastard and Sweet Home but also enjoy others like True Beauty. I digress. It’s no secret that one of the popular webtoons, 

2020 has been rough. From Covid-19 to racist murder cops, I have officially decided to throw this whole year away. In an effort to hang on to some thread of sanity, I wanted to check in on social media and see what has been happening in the world of k-pop. Fans are toxic towards each other, comebacks are still happening, and rookie groups are debuting even though they can’t perform in front of…
