My Top Kpop Songs of February 2021

February was an interesting month for Kpop and just the K-entertainment industry in general.

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…

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.

My Top Kpop Songs of October 2020

October was definitely the month for Kpop. At one point (I’ll admit) it was hard to keep up. Some of the biggest names in Kpop had comebacks while there were plenty of debuts as well. But don’t worry, I caught up and I have been loving each release. I would like to state: October has…
