- Stray Kids “RUN IT” deserved to be a title trackTHIS&THAT is a solid title track. It’s catchy and addictive. However, RUN IT was absolutely robbed ! I got teary eyed watching the music video. Sonically it’s quite different from what they usually do while still having those Stray Kids landmarks. I’m surprised that so many people didn’t like it but taste is subjective after all. I truly believe that… Read more: Stray Kids “RUN IT” deserved to be a title track

- There is a disconnect between negative social media sentiment for a Kpop group and their realityPeople spend so much time, effort and emotional energy slandering Kpop artists online. They willfully spread misinformation, get bitter about other’s success, form hive minds seeking validation from one another and stand on a false moral high ground because nobody is perfect including the accuser.
