As K-pop enters a new generation of rookies, the number of fractured boy groups continues to grow at an equally rapid rate. Military enlistments have left many boy groups without some of their core members and sent others into a temporary hiatus. Astro are the latest to fall victim to this with MJ recently enlisting … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Astro – Candy Sugar Pop
As Astro continue their descent into more edgy and darker territory, it's quite an odd feeling for fans of the groups bright, early sound. I am not one against musical maturation but in an age where mature automatically signifies lurching instrumentals and hum drum melodies, it's not the most promising of signs. Thankfully, bar an … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: One – Astro
Weki Meki are one of those group's who have consistently returned with strong tracks that aren't the promoted single.

Such was the case with June's Moya Moya, a … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Cool – Weki Meki
As June's onslaught of comebacks continue, I've noticed a rather interesting trend.

But much like every other boy group, Astro felt the need to 'mature' themselves. And while this approach has mostly yielded … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Knock – Astro
It's been an exciting few weeks for fans of Produce 101 alumni. A week ago we had former I.O.I member Kim Sejeong's Plant, and now former Wanna One members Kang Daniel and Ong Seong Wu have released solo comebacks on back to back days. Unfortunatly, neither of those aforementioned tracks really left much of mark … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Gravity – Ong Seong Wu
I've had an interesting history with Weki Meki. Even against their recent tracks, my favourite single from them (although it's a cover) remains the anthemic Butterfly that soundtracked the 2018 Pyeongchang winter Olympics. Though their two debut-era singles were a little too off the wall bonkers for me, their triple sucker punch of Crush, Picky … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: DAZZLE DAZZLE – Weki Meki
