One Zombie, Sharing Her Love of all Things Hallyu With The World
Sitting down to write today’s post, I spent quite a bit of time looking up all of K-Pop comebacks and dramas scheduled to drop over the course of the month and all I can say, to both music and drama lovers, is: HOLD ONTO YOUR HATS! Continue reading “TUESDAY’S TEASE: May is Going to be AMAZING!”
Last night, BTS took the stage of the Allstate Arena, here in Chicago. Performing in front of an entirely sold-out arena, BTS delighted fans from around the world, with a 2+ hour performance that will undoubtedly live on in the memories of those in attendance for years to come.

That’s right, KCON.TV has recently announced that they will be exclusive live-streaming partner for KCON 2017 Mexico. This means that even if you can’t make it to Mexico City for KCON 2017 Mexico, you can still join in on the fun! Continue reading “Can’t Make It To KCON 2017 Mexico? Don’t Worry, KCON.TV’s Got You Covered!”
It feels like there’s so much going on in the world of K-Pop right now, it’s almost impossible for me to keep up with it all! Everywhere I look, there’s a new bunch of teaser photos to swoon over or a new MV to squeal my way though and the fact that I’ve been buried under a mountain of plushie orders only makes things harder as every time I come up for air, I almost immediately fall over because some group has just taken my breath away. Continue reading “TUESDAY’S TEASE: Or Should I Say Tuesday’s Tears?”
As January starts to draw to a close, several groups have started dropping hints about upcoming comebacks. While it may still be too early for several of these groups to begin their merciless teasing, there’s still plenty to squee over as anticipation for these February comebacks begins to build. Continue reading “TUESDAY’S TEASE: February’s K-Pop Comeback Lineup”
You know, it’s really hard for me to sit down at the end of a month and decide which album it is that I love them most. Especially when that month has been crammed full of the most amazing comebacks! Trying to decide which album I love the most is like trying to decide which drink to order at the local coffee shop… Each one has its merit and really it all comes down to whatever fits my mood at the moment.
The same can definitely be said of this past month’s K-Pop comebacks. Each one has its merit and each one satisfies my different moods. When I’m in the mood for some good old-fashioned, make my heart skip a beat, 90’s boy-band goodness, I turn to SHINee’s 1 of 1. When I want something a bit edgier but fun, I head straight to Monsta X’s The Clan: Part 2. When I just want to feel a warm and fuzzy, I turn on 100%’s Time Leap and my heart gets all squishy as it swells with all the “I’m so happy their finally back” feels. And then there all the rookie singles, like SF9’s Feeling Sensation, or HIGH 4:20’s “Hook가” or BASTARZ “Selfish & Beautiful Girl,” which are perfect for a quick K-Pop fix. And when I simply want to die, I turn on BTS’ WINGS and wave goodbye to my soul as it departs from my mortal frame.
With so much great music out there, you can see why choosing a single album to talk about can be difficult. The choices really are almost endless and I love them all. Which is why I’m asking you to help me decide which of this past month’s comebacks should be lauded as the best. All you have to do is cast your vote for your top 3 (because who can really choose just one?) in the poll below.
Remember all those promises I made, about how change was coming and all that. Well, I’ve decided to start a new weekly post highlighting whatever Hallyu-related thing it is I’m most looking forward to at the moment. This could be anything from an upcoming drama (or maybe just an upcoming episode), or a bias group’s comeback, or maybe an upcoming movie that’s actually going to be shown here in Chicago, or maybe a concert… Really, it could be anything that stirs my fangirl soul, or inspires me to create a countdown clock on my phone. (Because yes, I am that level of fangirl crazy.) Continue reading “TUESDAY’S TEASE: BTS, SHINee and More”
Meeting up with Lola after Sunday night’s Red Carpet, we made our way over to the Staples Center, to join in the tens of thousands of other fans in line, waiting to get in. With so many people attending the final concert of KCON 2016, it took us a while to get in and find our seats. By the time we were all settled in, the opening acts had already started which meant we had almost no time to wait before the concert actually started. Continue reading “KCON 2016: Zombie’s Adventures in LA – Day 5, Part 2”
Running on almost no sleep, Sunday was a bit rough but with enough coffee and wild fangirl emotions coursing through me, I managed to not only get through the day without falling over but even have enough energy left to squeal myself silly during the evening’s concert. Continue reading “KCON 2016: Zombie’s Adventures in LA – Day 5, Part 1”
Though it’s really hard for me to believe that in less than 24 hours I’ll be in LA, the truth is I will be and that means KCON 2016 LA is only a few days away. I’ve been trying really hard not to let my inner fangirl get the better of me these past few days and I think that (so far) I’ve done a pretty good job. Sure, I might be a little bit excited about the fact that I’m only days away from seeing so many of my beloved groups again… And I might be just a tad excited about being on so many panels this year (4, to be exact)… And maybe I’m just slightly excited about being able to spend the next few days with some of most favorite people in the world… But I really haven’t let all of that get to me too much… I don’t think… Well… Maybe I have a little bit… Maybe… *ahem* Excuse me for a moment… Continue reading “KCON 2016: WATCH OUT LA, THE ZOMBIE’S ON HER WAY!”
