It’s that time of the year! Korean pop music has been busy this year, despite the many hurdles, the many scandals, the many members leaving, and the many disbandments. That said, there was a lot of debuts, a lot of fandoms uniting, a lot of returning groups, and a lot of really awesome music. This…

We made it! The finish line! This is MY list of the best songs from Japan in 2021, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the year! I think I’ve become more accustomed to Korean pop music than I have Japanese pop music in recent years, but I still manage to get a lot…

How about let’s do a Korean artist spotlight?! Since it’s Halloween coming soon, we have to have the queens of fun Halloween concepts (and queens of autumn releases, to be honest): TWICE!

mini-album review: TWICE “Feel Special”
If you have been living under a rock for the year or have distanced yourself from K-pop entirely, then perhaps you might not have heard about the recent news involving 9-member JYP girl group TWICE.
