I’ve been listening to KBS Classic FM lately: https://onair.kbs.co.kr/index.html?sname=onair&stype=live&ch_code=24&ch_type=radioList&bora=off&chat=on Today, September 3, at 5 in the morning Korean time, they aired a song. I’m pretty sure it was the first song after 5:00… It was sung by a woman. Unfortunately I didn’t figure out how to record it in time. I tried to browse the site using Google Translate… Read more: Help identifying a song heard on the radio
- Which 5th gen girl group could successfully sing ‘Day By Day’ by Girls’ Generation?Serious question as I don’t really keep up with K-Pop these days. I was on the train the other day listening to Girls’ Generation and ‘Day By Day’ came up, and honestly it was just such a vibe. Such good vocals. The whole group has good vocals, but those top five seriously killed it. And it got me thinking, what… Read more: Which 5th gen girl group could successfully sing ‘Day By Day’ by Girls’ Generation?
- What exactly is Lisa trying to be as a solo artist?I’ve been a BLINK for years, but now that I’m looking at the members beyond BLACKPINK, I keep coming back to one question about Lisa: what is her actual artistic identity? Is she a singer? A rapper? A dancer? An actress? A performer? Because at this point, she seems to be doing everything, yet I still can’t pinpoint what she’s… Read more: What exactly is Lisa trying to be as a solo artist?
- KATSEYE looks really tired at their Dublin concertI’m not saying this at all because I think the girls are “lazy” or “annoyed”, I think these poor girls are TIRED and OVERWORKED. These girls need a fucking break, I’ve been following KATSEYE since Touch era and I they deserve a rest after everything they’ve accomplished since their debut. Especially Yoonchae Lara and Daniela who haven’t gone on any… Read more: KATSEYE looks really tired at their Dublin concert
- Why are kpop group releases so insanely frequent?Just wondering if anyone knew why Kpop groups have to release new tracks so frequently these days, usually within two months of each other it feels like? I thought about this after Le Sserafim’s new song announcement “made my night”. Especially with how much goes into each release (recording, choreography, music video, promotion), i feel like we as fans dont… Read more: Why are kpop group releases so insanely frequent?
- Feeling very disappointed in Taemin rn ngl. AI seeping into Art is getting more and more sad to see.Beyond making music, dance and storytelling play a prominent role in your performances. What inspires you to create? What challenges do you face when translating your vision into a tangible performance? Making beautiful things is a challenge for me. For instance, the killing part in ‘Guilty’—where I put my hand through my shirt and over my mouth—can be seen as… Read more: Feeling very disappointed in Taemin rn ngl.

- It has been 13 years since we have lost EunB (Ladies Code)The fact that it has been 12 years since the accident happened on Sojung’s birthday and that we lost two angels is really saddening. I miss the girls a lot. They deserved so much better from everything, I hope EunB is doing well up there, and I hope she’s having a fun time with RiSe, up there. We miss your… Read more: It has been 13 years since we have lost EunB (Ladies Code)
- Honestly, it’s not that serious really…I didn’t really need to know much more about this HyoRiSoo project to realize it was never meant to be that serious. They’re the dance unit, and they’re already known for their variety-show appearances, so I expected this to be more of a passion project, a “we can do whatever we want” kind of comeback. Is it a bad comeback,… Read more: Honestly, it’s not that serious really…
- What was the last truly “global hit” in Kpop?Sorry, I should’ve been more specific 😭 I meant songs by K-pop groups, not soloists. My bad Últimamente he visto varios tuits que dicen que “CRAZY” de Le Sserafim fue el último verdadero éxito mundial del K-pop, y me hizo preguntarme: ¿Cuál consideras que es la canción de K-pop más reciente que se convirtió en un auténtico éxito mundial? Algunas… Read more: What was the last truly “global hit” in Kpop?

- Candy Pink Magic Hole Flip Phone is (one of) the best GG B-side of this yearThat’s it. That’s the post. I don’t wanna sound too proud as I don’t listen to as much K-pop as I used to so there’s probably other good stuff out there like Crescendo by NMIXX for one, but KiiKii really DELIVERED with their latest EP it almost makes me want to forgive their team for using AI (provided that they… Read more: Candy Pink Magic Hole Flip Phone is (one of) the best GG B-side of this year
