But this year I've got a whopping 21 songs that I just had to highlight, along with some … Continue reading Best Kpop Songs of 2021: Mid-Year edition

I think it's finally time for me to come to terms with the fact that I've begun to fall out of love with BTS' music. 2020 is a year that has heralded massive success for the group and their recent success on the billboard hot 100 with August's Dynamite is certainly evidence of that. But … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Life Goes On – BTS
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.
