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 one of my favourite voices in the Korean music scene, I come into every Woosung release with a sense of curiosity reserved for a select few artists. His solo career hasn't been the most consistent but it's been very interesting, shifting drastically between sounds to create a discography that feels disjointed but musically quite … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Woosung – Phase Me

Each of these posts will likely go up every Sunday or Monday depending on when I get the time and yes, i will … Continue reading Kbopped’s Weekly Stats (vol. 3)
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: Ciipher – Slam The Door
Well, what a pleasant surprise this is. When considering 2022's most underwhelming comebacks, Treasure's Jikjin is right up there. It's awful chorus acted as a smear to the tracks strong guitar assisted verses which pointed towards an exciting new direction for the group. And the general public reflected a similar sentiment, launching the laid back, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Treasure – Darari (remix)
Ciipher pulled one of the greatest debut to first comeback improvements in k-pop history with last years Blind. A song that harnessed a tight arrangement and killer drop to craft a standout effort in a year full of them. A far cry from the auto-tuned mess that was their debut I like you. As such, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Ciipher – Fame
TXT's Blue Hour and its accompanying album, 'minisode1: Blue Hour' is easily one of my absolute favourite comebacks in recent memory. It's an extraordinary piece of work, bursting with character and consisting of an all killer no filler tracklist that's only gotten better with time. As such, my expectations for 'minisode2: Thursday's Child' were through … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: TXT – Good Boy Gone Bad

When considering some of my favourite K-pop moments of the past few years, JY Park and Sunmi's incredibly campy yet irresistibly fun When We Disco is perched right near the top. It showed just how potent an upbeat throwback duet could really sound under the right circumstances, breaking so many modern k-pop constructs in the … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: PSY – Now (feat. Hwasa)
Despite being the group that essentially got me into K-pop, I feel like I don't talk about BTS enough on this blog. Well, at least not in a positive light. And that's honestly a shame because their discography is filled with so many incredible songs. Both singles and B-sides alike. And while their recent work … Continue reading Top 25 Songs by BTS
