Fin.K.L. Deep Dive #1/2: Pride, Goodbyes, And The Band That Remains
If Fin.K.L.’s name caught you off guard, I’m not surprised. It means “Fin Killing Liberty”, a sign that the group stands against repression across the world, a noble choice but a slightly long journey to get there. Very 1st gen. They’re considered one of the founding groups of the 1st generation of kpop. They debuted…

P1Harmony Deep Dive #2/2: Stand Out From The Crowd
Here are my credentials (again): little to none, I’m afraid. I don’t think I’ve heard any of their songs, and besides one interview with Keeho (I think?) I don’t know anything about the members themselves. So, let’s do this! (Read Part One here) EP #6: Harmony; All In Jump is the one P1Harmony song I’d…
