IVE Secret Album

Definitely an improvement!

I actually really love the title track. It grew on me as it went along and I saw myself really getting in to it with it's unusual production! Starship are not playing when it comes to the music their releases atm. ...

SMTR Wolf Live

We get to hear them sing and OH MY GOD. Talk about classic SM vocals.

Hanbi, SongHA (I kept saying his name wrong oops) and even JJ really showed out i'm SO relieved and impressed. Wasn't expecting them to do THAT well jesus. ...

BOYS 2 Planet Ep 8

Episode 22 - Blackpink, Boa & TVXQ and more: Legacies, New Careers, and Knowing When to Step Away

At what point does it make sense for an artist to step off the stage? In this episode, I’m diving into the tricky balance between knowing when to call it quits and what life can look like after idolhood. From Blackpink, BoA, and TVXQ to legends ...

Episode 21 - Your Vocal Categories Are Nonsense feat a Hearts2Hearts Vocal Line Analysis & Carmen’s Mistreatment

Cos you lot are doing too much and I don't like it. 

Dishonesty hidden behind meaningless jargon you can't back up is NOT cute. It's way too early to be definitive in your judgements of these girls based on the material which makes me ...

aespa Sonic Summer (Very select songs lol)

YESSSS! SM artists with their mic's (mostly) on!!

And it makes such a difference. Look how present they are, even if they are not going as HARD with the choreo they don't even have to do cos their star quality and presence pulls you in. 2025-08-18 01:02:56 +0000 UTC View Post

I-LAND 2 Ep 9

YEARS of speculation and conspiracies, now I'm going to add in some of mine haha.

RIIZE Riizing Loud Concert Seoul

I implore you. Even if you don't like RIIZE much. WATCH this.

Stray Kids enjoyed their spot at the top for a while but RIIZE has just surpassed them. Easily my favourite concert I've ever watched.

There actually aren't enough words to ...

TWICE Lollapalooza (SELECT full songs)

I was apprehensive to react to this cos I know how throaty Jihyo can get when singing live and it's something a lil uncomfortable cos I just WANT her to fix lol and Nayeon can be too piercing sometimes but tbh she delivered here.

I don't kn...

BOYS II PLANET Ep 7

FILLER indeed (gonna be on titan also) but actually really cute!

Isn't it interesting seeing the talents in the dance battle who don't get a chance to showcase their talents in the typical challenges but have such strong freestyle skills? A...

World of Street Woman Fighter ep 8

WHAT a WEIRD episode lol the editing was REALLY throwing me off for a min.

They took away a lot of the preparation moments that get you invested in the results which was a shame.

Eventually I got in to it and I started to have a good...

KiiiKiii 'Kya' Mujin Service

Gaku is so loveable. I need him and Taehyung to interact LOL. I think it'll be hilarious,...

ATHEART Plot twist album

Hmm

There is potential here but from how they perform it seems they should've trained for another year to REALLY embody a sense of confidence on stage cos they seem shaky quite often. And besides one or two girls, the stage presence is incon...

XNGHAN Xessions Heavenly Blue Behind + Dance Practice

OH

THIS

WAS SO GOOD!

I love that we really get to see them create the choreo from scratch and I'm amazed at how much was great at first attempt and ended up in the choreo. They really do have great chemistry and were destined to...

NEXZ Summer #2 & Jjimjilbang #1

Haru is a MENACE LOOOL

His impressions of Seita loool I love him.

It's wild how natural entertaining they can be even without having much of a concept. Especially when Yu, Haru and Geon were in the kitchen lool.

I-LAND 2 Ep 7 & 8 (fasten your seatbelts)

RESCENE - Mood Recording

My GIRLS!

I still think 3 of them sound the same if you're listening passively LOOL but I learnt a lot here. I'm curious to check out their other recordings too I think depending on how much engagement this one gets so - don't be lazy.

Boys II Planet ep 6

YYAAAAASSSSSSS FUCKING SANGWON & LEO

The duo K-pop need. I literally don't care who else is in the group as long as they're there. Sangwon may BE the first trainee I'm stanning at hello. His spirit and energy but also talent make him so...
