Since the release of 2019's fantastic Sha La La, I don't think I've connected strongly with a major Pentagon release. Sure some of my past posts may indicate otherwise but even the songs that I initially reviewed positively since went on to not have the best longevity (see Dr.BeBe). I think that's been more due … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: DO or NOT – Pentagon
When it comes down to K-pop and music in general, the best songs usually aren't the ones getting promoted.

I want to change that and that's why I'm going to be counting down … Continue reading The 100 Best K-pop B-Sides / Album Tracks of 2020 (100 – 76)
We're finally here. After 12 gruelling months, we have finally reached the dog days of 2020.

And while I do hate the fact that they pushed competition over … Continue reading Ranking the finale songs from Road To Kingdom
When Road to Kingdom was announced, I was over the moon. I loved Queendom and even discovered my ultimate bias group (Oh My Girl) through it, so a male version sounded great! Then they announced the lineup, and it contained some of my favourite current boy groups. Not only did this make me absolutely giddy … Continue reading Ranking The Performances On Road To Kingdom
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. That’s why I thought it would be fun at the end of each month, to look back at my top 5 singles and B-sides along with my top 3 albums. Although my placement for … Continue reading K-POP Monthly Roundup: February 2020
It's been a while since we've seen a full on horror concept in K-pop. During their peak, boy group VIXX were supplying us with a constant blast of horror inspired pop on the ready. But since the enlistment of most of their members, this particular sub-genre has been left all but deserted. However, Pentagon have … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Dr.베베(Dr. BeBe) – PENTAGON
