OnlyOneOf Deep Dive #2/2: Queerbaiting VS Representation in KPOP
Here are my credentials (again): I’d already been a fan of SHINee for a while before, but it was actually OnlyOneOf that helped me realize that I wasn’t just a girl group stan and SHINee weren’t just a one-off. I’m mainly a fan of their Underground Idol solos series so I’m looking forward to hearing…

NiZiU Deep Dive #3/3: A 3 AM Review By A K-pop Fan And Her Friend
Here are my credentials: (one more time) pretty few. NiZiU, like WayV, aren’t talked about much in kpop spaces, so I actually first heard of them through Bang Chan and Felix’s radio show, where Chan recommended a song of theirs that I liked.

Chung Ha Deep Dive #2/2: Why Don’t You Know Her?
Here are my credentials (again): I’d consider myself a casual fan of Chung Ha, who I know mainly through her friend Sunmi. I’ve heard a decent amount of her title tracks, and a few b-sides, but I’m looking forward to hearing more of her songs and forming a more accurate opinion of her work as…

BG Solo Ranking #5: Who’s The Best?
(Featuring Eunhyuk, G-Dragon, RM, Eric Nam, and Kangta) This time, I thought I would try something different on the blog. Instead of doing a deep dive into one group, I’m doing shallow dives into a bunch of soloists and their first mini albums, then comparing and contrasting.
