idle’s Soyeon Deep Dive: A Genre-Bending Idol, An Unpretty Rap Star, and A Songwriter For The Ages
Jeon Soyeon, or, really just “Soyeon”, requires very little introduction from me, but here’s one anyway. She first came into the kpop world at age 17 on the TV competition show “Unpretty Rap Star”, and though she didn’t win her season, she never really left. Differently from the vast majority of idols, Soyeon debuted as…

KATSEYE Deep Dive #2/2: A Kpop Blogger And Her Eyekon Best Friend On The Good, The Gnarly, and The ‘Girl Power’
Here are my credentials (again): So, like a lot of kpop fans, I’d consider myself at least a casual fan of KATSEYE. I know a decent amount of their songs, a decent amount about them as people, and a sprinkling of context surrounding Dream Academy and online conversation about them. I’ll be talking a little…

ONF Deep Dive #2/2: Turning An ‘Ugly Dance’ Beautiful, Beautiful
Here are my credentials (again): So, cards on the table: I know next to nothing about ONF. I’ve heard a total of two songs by them, at most, and I can’t say I know much about the members either. ONF first came on my radar when the video of them all together in the military…

ONF Deep Dive #1/2: Turning An ‘Ugly Dance’ Beautiful, Beautiful
ONF (or 온앤오프) stands for “ON & OFF”, and their six members—–Hyojin, E-Tion, Seungjun, Wyatt, Minkyun [MK], and Yuto [U]—-are divided into two teams of the same names. They were formed in 2017 by WM Entertainment* (alongside a seventh member, Laun, who departed in 2019) but left the company to self-manage in early 2026. *which…

IVE Deep Dive #2/2: Who Are These It Girls, ‘Off The Record’?
Here are my credentials (again!): Like many people, I first learned about IVE through Wonyoung, who it’s not an exaggeration to call one of Kpop’s most prominent faces, for endorsements, crazy fangirling, and criticism alike. I remember when they debuted in 2021, but I’d say I really became aware of them when Love Dive came…

Lovelyz Deep Dive #2/2: ‘Once Upon a Time’ In Kpop
Here are my credentials (again): I first heard of Lovelyz through the first season of the competition show Queendom, which aired in 2019. I was originally watching for (G)I-DLE, but found their performances interesting, and they’ve honestly been on my list since the beginning of this blog. As for the members, I’ve covered Kei’s solo…

Lovelyz Deep Dive #1/2: ‘Once Upon a Time’ In Kpop
Lovelyz: An Intro Lovelyz were formed by Woollim Entertainment in 2014, with eight members: Jiae, Jisoo, Mijoo, Kei, Jin, Sujeong, Yein, and Baby Soul (the last of which, ironically, was their leader). At time of debut they ranged from 16-22, and are now 28-34. Lovelyz officially disbanded at their seventh anniversary in 2021, but have…

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…

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:…
