My Top Kpop Songs of April 2021
April was another great month for music, but life was a bit crazy from me. The first two weeks of April started so fast and I felt like I’ve been running ever since. Just a quick update on what happened: I got my vaccine (yay). There was construction going on where I live (so I…

Kang Seung Yoon’s Album ‘PAGE’ Is A Personal Narrative About The Highs and Lows of Life
Seung Yoon’s album PAGE honestly depicts the highs and lows of life. He captures the pain of growing up, heartbreak, love, and loneliness.

Last year I promised myself I would start collecting Pentagon albums – so yes, I ordered all three versions of LOVE…

My Top Kpop Songs of February 2021
February was an interesting month for Kpop and just the K-entertainment industry in general. Not to mention the mess between Kakao M and Spotify – practically deleting every Kpop album (mostly from groups that are not from the big 4). But despite all those things, it was a great month for music releases! So here…

SHINee Makes A Bold Return With Their 7th Album ‘Don’t Call Me’
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…

Full Recap of Baekhyun’s Online Concert: Beyond LIVE – BAEKHYUN : LIGHT
Baekhyun’s online concert is the second concert in 2021, for me (the first was SM “Culture Humanity”). When tickets for Baekhyun’s online concert went on sale, I quickly bought mine. I know I’m a bit late in writing this recap, I’ve been trying to organize my life for the new year. Plus writing concert recaps…
