My Top Kpop Songs Of November 2021
Have I ever mentioned November and especially December are the busiest months of the year for me? Personally, November and December are really hard months for me to keep up with Kpop comebacks (and debuts).

Stray Kids “Christmas EveL” is One of The Most Unique Unconventional Christmas Songs Ever
“Christmas EveL” has Stray Kids classic sound – of course when 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han) work on a song you know it’ll be amazing.

Real, Raw, and 100% That 빛. Hwasa Returns With Her 2nd Single Album ‘Guilty Pleasure’
You can always count on Hwasa to be 100% real, especially in her music. Hwasa doesn’t paint herself as a picture-perfect idol. She’s got flaws and she owns them. She’s unapologetically herself and that’s what makes her a Queen in the music scene. “I’m a 빛” is bold and relatable. I love the play on…

The Boyz ‘MAVERICK’ Smashed Every Expectation
I was expecting great things from THE BOYZ, especially since their previous comebacks have been incredible.

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…

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…

The Artistry and Masterwork of Taemin’s Album ‘Never Gonna Dance Again: Act 2’
This year Taemin released two albums that show his growth and transition into a new image and style. His albums Never Gonna Dance Again: Act 1 and Act 2 broadens Taemin’s music style, concepts, and even his performances. The title Never Gonna Dance Again is definitely attention grabbing – considering Taemin is Kpop’s dance king.…
