So tell me, did you find any new tunes to add to your K-Pop playlist this week? Let me know in the comments below!
Friday night GOT7 graced the stage of Chicago’s Riveria Theater, the second of three stops in their first U.S. Fan Meeting, and I had the enormous pleasure of being one of the nearly two-thousand fans who flocked to the venue to spend an evening with JYP’s adorable rookie group. Continue reading “HELLO CHICAGO, GOODBYE ZOMBIE: GOT7’s First Fan Meeting in Chicago”
As I’m sure many of you know, GOT7 is coming to Chicago this Friday, the second of three stops the boys will make in their first U.S. Fan Meet, presented by Jazzy Group. What you may not know (okay, you probably do know but I’m going to pretend like you don’t) is that I’m going to be there and that means if you’re there, I can finally meet you! Yippee! Continue reading “MUSINGS OF A K-POP FANGIRL: GOT7, Chicago and a Zombie”

Jimin may be accused of having no jams but I’ve got them in spades so I thought it’d be fun to share with you my top jams of 2014 because why not? We’ve all got songs we could listen to on repeat for forever and as sucky as this past year was in a lot of ways, it still brought with it a ton of fabulous tunes. (Which may not make up for the parts of the year that sucked but it certainly made dealing with the sucky a bit easier.) So here are the artists, albums and tunes that brightened my 2014… Continue reading “ZOMBIE’S JAMS OF 2014”
With today being the last day of 2014, I find myself looking back over the past year with a mixture of emotions that has me feeling all the feels and you know me, I have a hard time keeping feels to myself when they get this crazy so I’m here to share them all with you. Yippee!
This past year has been such an odd mixture of amazing and awful, not just in the world at large or the world of Hallyu but in my own personal life as well. I won’t bore you with all the details because I know we all have our own stories to tell and mine isn’t any more special or spectacular than any of yours but I will say this… Some of the single most amazing experiences of my life have happened in 2014. I’ve met so many wonderful people and made so many new friends, I’ve had opportunities open to me that have been mind-blowingly awesome and I’ve had a chance to make an unbelievable number of dreams come true. (Boyfriend, B.A.P, KCON, B1A4, 2PM, VIXX… Wow! How did a zombie ever get this lucky? I still have no idea!) In that respect 2014 has been one of the best years of my life but all of this amazing has been coupled with an overwhelming amount of miserable, so much so that I can’t help but cheer as I send this old year off with a flip of the bird and a figurative punch in the face. (If only you could punch a year in the face… That would make me feel so much better!)
At the same time, I welcome this new year with open arms and an unwavering hope that better things are yet to come; because as awful as this past year has been, and as hard as life has tried to steal my hope and rob me of my joy, I can sit here and say, with complete honesty, that life hasn’t quite gotten the better of me yet. Sure there have been days, many, many, many, many days when I’ve felt like giving up and letting the crap of life get the better of me but I didn’t. Miraculously I’ve survived, though not without “a little help from my friends” or more accurately, a whole flipping lot of help from my friends. Seriously, I would have never gotten through this past year without you lovelies and I want you and the whole rest of the world to know how much I love and appreciate you. (You know who you are.) YOU’RE THE BEST AND I LOVE YOU MORE THAN A ZOMBIE LOVES BRAINS!
Before I get all sentimental and sappy I should probably wrap this up, I just wanted to take a minute to thank all of you, my lovely readers, for spending this past year with me. You’ve all played a part in making the bright side of 2014 absolutely brilliant and I love you all for that. Seriously. Thank you! A thousand times over THANK YOU! I wish each and every one of you a bright, happy and prosperous new year. May it be a year full of light and laughter, friends and fun, hope, peace and joy. May it be a year better than you could possibly imagine, a year full of dreams come true and may the only drama in your life be the kind you watch and read reviews about online. *wink wink*
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! 사랑해요! ♥ ♥ ♥
A couple of weeks ago I asked you all to help me decide which K-Pop song should be given the title, “Best Tune of 2014” and I promised that the choice would be left solely in your hands. As I’m sure you remember, I set up a series of polls which included every “Tune of the Week” featured in 2014, broken down by months, and asked you to vote for your favorites. Well the votes of those polls have been tallied and now it’s time for you to make your final decision. Which tune will win the title of “Best”? That, my friends, is totally up to you!
Can you believe it? It’s Friday already and that means it’s time to take a look at this week’s K-Pop MV releases. Hooray! Let’s see if we can find a new favorite, shall we?

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.
