When it comes to my personal tastes, I've always believed Stray Kids to be strongest when paired with a more electronic backing. Last year we got the sensational one two punch of Miroh and Side Effects and nothing since has really lived up to them. It's been solid and the abrasive God's Menu remains one … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Back Door – Stray Kids
Due to the relentless release schedule that us K-pop fans have to endure, it’s not easy to consume all the content at once. That’s why I thought it would be fun at the end of each month, to look back at my top 5 singles and B-sides along with my top 3 albums. Although my placement for … Continue reading K-POP Monthly Roundup: August 2020
God I love Taemin. Few if any artists are able to come close to touching the sheer level of charisma and magnetism this man exudes when he performs. Everything he does is just absolutely effortless and while his discography has some very evident peaks and troughs, it's definitely one of the most consistent of any … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Criminal – Taemin
Oh My Girl have had an incredible year. Their very successful stint on last years Queendom lent itself to an even more successful comeback in the form of Nonstop and has since shot the girls into near superstardom. As a long time fan, this has been very gratifying to see. This continued growth has seen … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Bon Voyage – YooA (Oh My Girl)
Wonho has been through alot in the past year. After leaving Monsta X, he's been the subject of many a controversy and the fact that he's been able to bounce back so strongly is just great to see. Open Mind marks the release of his debut album, which began teasing its release last month with … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Open Mind – Wonho
I know I'm late to the party but holy shit this song. Every year there's a song that comes around that feels like an instant Kpop showstopper. Last year it was Stray Kids' Miroh, in 2018 it was ONF's Complete and for 2020 it might just be A.C.E's Favorite Boys. Last year, A.C.E pulled off … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Favorite Boys – A.C.E
CLC are one of those groups that I've desperately wanted to like more than I do. There are moments in their discography that really shine, but as a whole it doesn't really connect with me. For every To The Sky or No you've got a High Heels or (even though many loved it) Me. I … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Helicopter – CLC
It's been almost 16 months since the last Lovelyz comeback. For many, such a long wait would amount to nothing less than career suicide. Thankfully, Lovelyz have formed a strong, dedicated fanbase and have been spending this lost time giving their many members solo ventures. Kei's 2019 solo debut was a fun Disney-esque single reminiscent … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Obliviate – Lovelyz

These charts will be solely based on my own play history and will feature my top 20 most played tracks of the week be it Korean, … Continue reading KBOPPED Weekly Charts: 31/08/20
While JO1 might be leading their comeback with the single OH-EH-OH, I knew from the moment I heard it that Go would also be a standout. It essentially acted as a pre-release and while I do love me the crazy rock and house influenced goodness of the title track, I think I like the sleek … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Go – JO1
