One Zombie, Sharing Her Love of all Things Hallyu With The World
This past week brought with it a whole slew of new K-Pop music videos, several of which I’d been looking forward to with anxious anticipation, which is probably why I’m so excited to share this week’s playlist with you! (Seriously, I’m bouncing in my chair as I write this, I’m that giddy!) Continue reading “K-POP ONE-STOP: October 29 – November 4, 2016”
It’s no secret that this fall has been nothing less than a lethal string of comebacks designed solely to bring both life and death to K-Pop fans the world over. One might think that with such an overwhelming number of comebacks dropping in October, things might slow down a bit now that it’s November. But nope! This string of fall comebacks seems to be almost never-ending as ASTRO and BTOB have recently jumped aboard the comeback train. Continue reading “TUESDAY’S TEASE: ASTRO and BTOB Join the Fall Comeback Lineup”
I think October may be my favorite month. Not only does it bring with it all the wonderful, warm-fuzzy inducing goodness of fall but it also brings an overwhelming number of K-Pop releases. Despite the fact the month is almost over, the music hasn’t slowed down in the least; which means I’ve got another playlist full of goodness just for you!
While I refuse to claim any one track as my favorite, I’m more than ready to squeal over several of them. Lay’s solo track is probably at the top of my list, as I’ve been waiting for this since he teased us with a glimpse of it at the end of his last solo MV, “What U Need.” Right up there with Lay is BASTARZ’s “Selfish & Beautiful Girl.” While the track doesn’t possess the hard-hitting goodness I was originally expecting from Block B’s only sub-unit, it’s still a great song and it really makes me excited for the full album release. Well, that and the teasers for the trio’s “Make it Rain” MV… I have a feeling that’s going to be the MV that brings us all the original BASTARZ elements we love. Of course I spent a good deal of time this week being mesmerized by the beauty of INFINITE’s newest “The Eye” dance practice video. I swear, these boys produce the most beautiful dance videos I’ve ever seen. Also on my list of music  I’m enjoying this week are the OST releases. I’m beyond happy that Monsta X’s track for Shopping King Louis is finally out in both the original and acoustic version. Jay Park, Hyolyn, TWICE… There’s list of great new music out this week goes on and on. I really could keep talking about them all for a very, very long time but I won’t. Instead I’ll ask you which tracks are your favorite. Are there any you’ll be adding to your own K-Pop playlist this week? Let me know in the comments below!
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 “Hookê°€” 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.
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”
I love Fridays! Have I ever mentioned that? I think I have… Somewhere… Maybe… Whether I have or haven’t doesn’t really matter. What does matter is the fact that I’ve got another playlist full of brand new music. Woohoo! (Hey, if that isn’t reason to celebrate, I don’t know what is!) Continue reading “K-POP ONE-STOP: October 15-21, 2016”
You know, there have been a whole lot of K-Pop comebacks this past month and for the most part, I’ve survived them. But as we pass the midpoint of October, I’m beginning to wonder how much more of this incessant teasing I can endure. Continue reading “TUESDAY’S TEASE: VIXX, BTS and the Death of a Zombie”
There are so many reason to love Fridays and being able to sit down and indulge in a playlist full of new MV releases is definitely one of them. That being said, let’s cut the chit-chat and get to the music already! Continue reading “K-POP ONE-STOP: October 8-14, 2016”
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”
I have no idea how the heck it’s Friday already but it is and that means it’s time to take a look at this past week’s K-Pop MV releases. Woot! Continue reading “K-POP ONE-STOP: July 16-22, 2016”
