You know, when I woke up this morning and realized I was up early enough to catch part of the 2014 MAMA broadcast live, I was pretty stoked. It’t not every day you get to settle in front of your computer with a cup of coffee and a slice of banana bread and watch so many of your favorite idols perform in one place and I thought to myself, “Oh, what a lovely way to start my day!” I should have known that the calm and peaceful morning I’d been expecting was never going to happen because, well, anything involving K-Pop generally ends in me spazzing.

Musings of K-Pop Fangirl: The Dangers of Having an Ultimate Bias
You know, when I first got into K-Pop, I was a pretty casual listener. I’d find a group I liked, give them a listen, appreciate their music and move on. It was a simple life, full of good times and great music but as time went on and my love for K-Pop grew, I began to notice that some bands were stealing a bit more of my time and attention. At the time, I didn’t think much of this, as I chalked it all up to being a fan of the music, but as time went on I found myself skipping over different artists in, what I thought, was an innocent quest to find more music from artists that had somehow managed to catch my eye.

Saturday, November 22, 2014 will go down in history as the day my inner Starlight died and went to fangirl heaven, known to the rest of the world as the day six-member Korean boy band, VIXX, visited Chicago, making the first of two stops on their whirlwind tour across the U.S. Continue reading “BEAUTIFUL KILLERS: VIXX SLAYS STARLIGHTS IN CHICAGO”
Going Crazy With 2PM
Sunday night one of K-Pop’s most iconic groups, 2PM, made the second of four stops as they work their way across the U.S. with their “GO CRAZY World Tour”, lighting up Chicago with one of the most fun concerts I have ever had the pleasure of attending. Continue reading “Going Crazy With 2PM”
RELEASE THE FANGIRL: GOOD GOLLY! BTS IS TRYING TO KILL ME!
Okay, so yesterday BTS released a whole slew of concept photos, saying it was the precursor to their upcoming promotions but we all know it was actually just a sneaky ploy to get fangirls the world-over so flipping excited for the release of their “Hormone War” MV that when the video finally hit YouTube, the entire fandom would fall out of their chairs and start sobbing uncontrollably over its perfection. (Stinking punks!) Continue reading “RELEASE THE FANGIRL: GOOD GOLLY! BTS IS TRYING TO KILL ME!”
RELEASE THE FANGIRL!: HOLY FLIP, VIXX IS BACK!

RELEASE THE FANGIRL! My Soul Has Been Revived
It’s no secret that I am a devout Starlight. I’ve spazzed enough on this blog to make it perfectly clear that, as much as I love all K-Pop bands (and I really do love them all, to one degree or another), VIXX holds a special place in my heart. They are an infinite source of inspiration and motivation for me, as I drag myself through the mundane of my every day and above all, they are the sunshine that brightens my occasionally dreary world. In short, they make my heart happy but not always… Continue reading “RELEASE THE FANGIRL! My Soul Has Been Revived”
RELEASE THE FANGIRL: LYn x LEO “Blossom Tears”
I know that Y.Bird’s LYn x LEO collaboration was released a couple of weeks ago but I didn’t have time to squee over it at the time because I was too busy getting ready to leave for L.A. and honestly, I was too full of feels to even begin to talk about this amazing video without melting into a giant puddle of fangirl goo. Even now, weeks later, I’m still not sure I can actually handle this song but I’ve gotta try! The fangirl in me has been dying to squee over Leo in this video for weeks!
