Ever since their one two punch of Breathe and Blind For Love in their great debut year, AB6IX have kind off fallen off my radar. I found both their 2020 releases incredibly lack lustre and their latest single Salute was easily their weakest by far. And so I wasn't at all expecting much from Stay … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Stay Young – AB6IX
Despite Treasure's I Love You breaking into the top 50 of my favourite Kpop songs of the year, I still consider the buoyant pre-debut track Going Crazy to be the their strongest effort yet. So when I heard that the group were returning with a more bright and upbeat sound, I was more than thrilled. … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: My Treasure – Treasure
Despite their popularity continuing to grow as a near astronomic rate throughout last year, (G)i-dle had a less than successful year musically. At least in my opinion. The group attempted to cover many different sounds but despite some strong concepts, the tracks failed to really deliver when it came to a strong melody or consistent … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Hwaa – (G)I-DLE
In an industry that's come to favour boy groups going harder and edgier over the last few years, it's been refreshing to see a group like MCND debut with such a goofy and over the top sound. Sure, much of their material hasn't been the most original, but the boys have a unique vocal blend … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Crush – MCND
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: Call Anytime (Feat. Mino) – Jinu (Winner)
While woo!ah! debuted with a certain level of hype surrounding them, the rookie girl group completely managed to fly under my radar. Such too was the case with follow up Bad Girl, which improved upon their debut but still failed to really elicit any sparks. Thankfully, the group have chosen to promote album track I … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: I Don’t Miss U – woo!ah!
The retro trend is in full swing right now within the Korean music industry and if there was one man to continue that trend, it has to be the man himself, Park Jinyoung. When We Disco, his disco inspired collaboration with Sunmi remains one of 2020's most enjoyable tracks and he's once again chosen to … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Switch to me – Rain x JYP
Well. That was one hell of a year wasn't it. When I started this blog around a year ago, I did so with the intention of covering your average year in Korean and Japanese Pop music. Oh but how naive late 2019 Arpydarpy was. In reality 2020 was anything but ordinary, casting a near permanent … Continue reading Kbopped’s 2020 In Review
While I predominantly cover singles on here, I’ve always been an avid consumer of albums. More often than not, this results in some songs that I adore but others that I detest. As a remedy to this issue, we have Beast Sides! These songs put the Beast in B-side and are either stronger than their … Continue reading Beast Sides: Ghosting – TXT
Now this is a countdown that I bet not many of you expected huh. And honestly, it's one that I wasn't even considering until around a week ago. Much like the rest of the world during lockdown, I started to get really into streaming shows on sites like Netflix. And through that waste-man like behaviour, … Continue reading Kbopped’s Favourite K-OST’s of 2020
