TUESDAY’S TEASE: EXO’s First Sub-Unit, Mermaids and the Whispered Promise of a BIGBANG Comeback

exo-subunit

Tuesdays have suddenly become a favorite of mine, mostly because I get to sit here and squee over all of the upcoming K-Dramas and K-Pop comebacks I’m most looking forward to. It’s really a very exciting thing, scouring the internet for all of the goodies that come with comebacks and drama premiers, especially when you come up with a list full of personal favorites. (I feel like I’ve hit the fangirl jackpot or something!) Continue reading “TUESDAY’S TEASE: EXO’s First Sub-Unit, Mermaids and the Whispered Promise of a BIGBANG Comeback”

EXO in Chicago: A Zombie’s Recap of the Day She Died

exoluxion

I have an ever-growing bucket list designated just for K-Pop which really, is more like a wish list of groups I want to see in person before I die, and on that list EXO has ranked high for a very, very long time. So when it was announced all those months ago, that one of the stops EXO would be making during their North American tour was Chicago, well, I very nearly dropped dead right then and there. However, I somehow managed to keep myself together long enough to buy a ticket (which also nearly killed me) and endure the endless countdown of days that ultimately brought me to D-Day. Concert Day. Better known as the day the zombie and about 4,000 other fans lost their hearts to the eight adorable members of EXO that fateful Friday night.

TUNE OF THE WEEK: EXO “Love Me Right”

hanging out

You know, when both Big Bang and EXO make a comeback in the same week, it’s really hard not to pick one of them to feature as my Tune of the Week. So rather than spend countless hours scouring the internet for a worthy Tune to compete with the two, I’ve decided to just cave to the pressure and go with one of them because, quite frankly, there’s no reason to fight this one. Both tracks are worthy to be featured in my weekly post but I’ve opted for EXO this time around. Why? You mean you need more of a reason than because it’s EXO?

TUNE OF THE WEEK: EXO “Call Me Baby”

group 1

Oh goodness! When EXO released the videos for “Call Me Baby” earlier this week, I had no doubt I’d be making it my Tune of the Week. I just had no idea that when I watched said videos, I’d end up writhing on the floor, gasping for breath. Yeah, I know, I’m a (somewhat) crazy fangirl but what can I say? Some bands really floor me when they make a comeback! Continue reading “TUNE OF THE WEEK: EXO “Call Me Baby””

TUNE OF THE WEEK: EXO’s “Miracles in December”

With “Miracles in December” ranking #2 on the Gaon Chart for digital singles and  #3 for online downloads for the first week of December, it only makes sense that it would win the spotlight as my Tune of the Week.

The perfect blend of harmony that endears the boys of EXO to us all, set against a backdrop of melodious piano and sorrowful strings, combine to create a song that conveys so much emotion I can’t listen to it without feeling like I’m going to cry. Of course, once you read through the lyrics, you realize this beautifully sorrowful song is all about the pain of a lost love and from then on you can’t listen to “Miracles in December” without feeling it tug on your heartstrings.

If, like me, you’re always on the lookout for a new Christmas tune to add to your collection, you can’t go wrong with EXO’s sorrowful ballad, “Miracles in December,” though I warn you, even Ebenezer Scrooge shed a tear after listening to this one!
