  • Married To The Music’s Gallery (Page TEN)

    September 3rd 2025 -> December 18th 2025 (See all Gallery Pages) In “honor” of the blog being a year old, I’ve decided to do these little roundups every so often, starting in September of 2024. Here are my Top 2 songs of every artist I covered from September 3rd to December 18th of 2025, along…

  • Yuta Deep Dive: A Kpop Idol Rips ‘Off The Mask’ And Grabs A Guitar

    Yuta Nakamoto debuted as a kpop idol back in 2016 (ten years ago, let’s all scream about that), and since then has been a part of the mammoth kpop boy group NCT, specifically its sub-units NCT 127 and NCT U. He officially debuted as a soloist in 2024. Here are my credentials: So, I know…

  • MISAMO Deep Dive: Haute Couture, Identity, and A Look Behind The Curtain

    MiSaMo is a subunit of kpop supergroup TWICE, who really needs no introduction from me. It’s composed of the group’s three Japanese members, Mina Myoi, Sana Minatozaki, and Momo Hirai, and since they’re singing in Japanese too, MiSaMo occupies an interesting position as both a Jpop group and a Kpop group. Here are my credentials:…

  • HWASA Deep Dive: A ‘Good Goodbye’ To A Long-Gone Era And Hyper-sexualization In Kpop

    Hi everyone! Thank you so much for sticking around during my unexpected hiatus. I’m so happy to be back. Let’s get started! Ahn Hye-jin, better known by her stage name Hwasa, is one of four members of RBW kpop group MAMAMOO, alongside Solar, Wheein, and Moonbyul. She debuted with them in 2014, and officially debuted…

  • Momoland Deep Dive: Are You ‘Ready Or Not’?

    Momoland was formed in 2016 by MLD Entertainment, through the survival show Finding Momoland. They debuted with an amusement park concept and seven members: Hyebin, Jane, Nayun, JooE, Ahin, Nancy, and Yeonwoo, with Taeha and Daisy added in early 2017. They’ve gone through several lineup changes throughout the years, going on an extended hiatus after…

  • Taeyong Deep Dive: NCT’s Leader on Long Flights, Roses, and Childhood Pets

    Lee Taeyong is best known as the leader of kpop behemoth NCT, as well as their subunit NCT 127, which debuted in 2016. But, since 2020, he’s also had a fairly successful solo career. He enlisted in the military in April of 2024, and he’s coming back…in about three hours. Here are my credentials: So,…

  • NCT Wish Deep Dive: Crafting Joy Out Of Music Notes

    NCT Wish was formed in 2023 as the fifth (and final) subunit of the mammoth SM Entertainment group NCT, which also includes NCT 127, NCT Dream, NCT U, and WayV. They’re both the news and the youngest: their six members—-Sion, Riku, Yushi, Daeyoung, Sakuya, and Ryo—-range from 18 to 23. They’re technically a J-pop group,…

  • &Team Deep Dive #2/2: Werewolves, War Cries, and What Counts As Kpop

    Here are my credentials (again): I would consider myself a casual fan of &TEAM, in that I liked one singular post about them and they haven’t stop invading my feed since. So I finally decided to listen to the universe and cover them. Then I opened Kprofiles and immediately went: “what do you mean werewolf…

  • &Team Deep Dive #1/2: Werewolves, War Cries, and What Counts As Kpop

    &TEAM was formed in 2022 through HYBE subsidiary YX Labels. Their nine members—Euijoo (EJ), Fuma, Yūdai (K), Nicholas, Yuma, Jo, Harua, Taki, and Maki, who range from 19 to 28—were the nine winners of a competition show. They’re a J-pop group, but they also do promotions in Korea, and made their K-pop debut in 2025.…

  • Girls’ Day Deep Dive #2/2: A Review About Female Presidents and Subverting Expectations

    Here are my credentials (again): I’m coming at this one from a pretty roundabout direction, having heard of Girls’ Day via Hyeri and having heard of Hyeri via her role in the 2025 kdrama Friendly Rivalry. Just this month, she became (as far as I’m aware) the first kpop idol to win an award for…

  • Aespa Deep Dive #2/2: Kpop, AI, and the Drama In-Between

    Here are my credentials (again): I know a bit more about Aespa than I know about most other 4th and 5th generation girl groups. They had just debuted when I became a kpop fan and were among the first groups I became interested in after my introduction by Blackpink and Red Velvet. But I admit…
