I had literally no expectations coming into this pre-release but it still managed to underwhelm me. As many could tell by reading my scathing review of their last comeback, I’m not the biggest fan of Blackpink. Their early material was pretty strong but ever since 2018’s megahit Ddu Du Ddu Du, I’ve felt a very obvious … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Ice Cream (with Selena Gomez) – Blackpink
With the burgeoning growth of K-pop in its current state, many newer fans are unaware of many of the genres past classics. That’s why every week I will be taking a look back at some of K-pop’s most exciting and iconic tracks that were released before the conception of this blog to shed some light on this … Continue reading Retro Rewind: Flash – X1
KARD's transition to a more harder edged sound has so far yielded some less than impressive results. Bomb Bomb and Dumb Litty were two of my least favourite tracks from last year and while it has since grown on me, Red Moon wasn't much better. And while I understand that this is more an issue … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Gunshot – KARD
Despite being one of my favourite groups, I've found Seventeen's recent material to be quite disappointing. Apart from last years excellent Hit, I don't think I've really loved a Seventeen song since 2018's Call! Call! Call!. This has left me falling out of love with a group that once challenged for a spot at the … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: 24H – SEVENTEEN
If I had to put it bluntly, I've been underwhelmed by almost every single post X1 comeback. All the boys have the potential to really hit big but the material they've chosen or been given has just not made good use of their talents. Of the many that we've gotten over the course of the … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: No More – Kim Yohan
Despite the amount of hype garnered for their debut, Cravity's initial foray into the kpop world was kind of underwhelming. Sure, Break All The Rules has grown on me quite abit but to say that it was what I wanted from the group would be far from the truth. It felt too much like Monsta … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Flame – Cravity
For the past few years, double title tracks have been a dying breed. Although they experienced mass popularity in the early to mid 2010's, they've all but disappeared from the promotional schedules of major groups. It's a choice that would have likely solved many of the rather underwhelming single choices we've seen this year as … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: THANXX – ATEEZ

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: 24/08/20
Rookie group MCND have already perfected one of the key promotional tactics needed for any under the radar rookie group and that is mass promotion. They've really never stopped being out of the public eye and while this doesn't always guarantee success, it's one of the better ways for groups to stay somewhat relevant. And … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: nanana – MCND
When it comes to really underrated J-pop groups, Solidemo are right up there. Their consistently strong musical output has gone all but unnoticed by both domestic and international audiences and given the strength of songs like Love Yourself from earlier this year, that's a real shame. New single TOKYO Miracles is further evidence of the … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: TOKYO Miracles – Solidemo
