SHINee continues to prove they are one of the most unique Kpop groups in the industry. It is nearly impossible to fit SHINee into one category.

My Top Kpop Songs of January 2021

New year comes with new music and January was full of fantastic comebacks. It’s a promising year for Kpop. Please remember: These are my personal favorite songs. Music is very subjective. Just because I don’t mention a certain group or artist doesn’t mean I disliked their music. Most likely if a group or artist isn’t…

My Top Kpop Songs of November 2020

There’s no doubt the end of November and the start of December have been hectic. The last day of November GOT7, Kai, and Enhypen released their albums. Then in December I watched two online concerts (B1A4 and Pentagon) plus MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards). I did write a blog post for both online concerts and…

Full Recap of Pentagon’s Online Concert ‘We L:VE’

What are the odds two of my favorite groups would have an online concert one week apart? Last week it was B1A4 and this week it was Pentagon. Of course when I heard about Pentagon’s online concert I had to buy my ticket. I’m sure just like everyone else, when I heard they had to…

CNBLUE’S Mini Album ‘RE-CODE’ Provides Comfort in the Midst of Change

After about three years and eight months, CNBLUE has returned with their eighth mini album, RE-CODE. Now a trio and all are back from the military, this marks a new chapter in CNBLUE’s musical journey. Because my discovery of Kpop is still in its early stages, I’ve heard about CNBLUE but I didn’t know much…
