Continuing from where we left off last time: POW: I really loved their song, “Dazzling”! Afterwards, I didn’t really hear much from them until they released their single “Valentine” and their mini-album Boyfriend. I later tuned in to their latest mini-album titled Being Tender. Since I’ve been consistently liking their releases, I’ve decided that I’llContinue reading “K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 3”

Intruder
This is a piece that I made for my Introduction to Visual Arts class. It was meant to help me learn perspective and I think it turned out really well. Maybe in the future I will draw it again in color.
SWICY EP Review/Analysis
The K-pop group UNIS has been on a roll since their debut on March 27, 2024, with the EP WE UNIS, and, their later release, the single “Curious”. It’s starting to seem like I have a habit of getting into 5th-generation groups after their 3rd release (the same happened with ZEROBASEONE, RESCENE, and BOYNEXTDOOR lol).Continue reading “SWICY EP Review/Analysis”
K-pop Lore is Actually Interesting
Many people have expressed that they see lore in K-pop groups as just another way to boost music video views and simply gloss over any lore-related content. In my opinion, I don’t think that’s always the case (or at least not the main reason). One of my favorite K-pop groups, P1Harmony, came out with anContinue reading “K-pop Lore is Actually Interesting”
Freedom of the Mind (12/11/24)
John F. Kennedy once said, “Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.” In the fiction novel Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, freedom is explored in both personal lives and politics. The protagonist Kambili begins to stray away from her structured life that was governed by her father. At the sameContinue reading “Freedom of the Mind (12/11/24)”
K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 2
Continuing from where we left off last time: CLOSE YOUR EYES: I listened to CLOSE YOUR EYES’ debut album, ETERNALT, on a random day in April. Of course, this was another K-pop group I had no knowledge of (besides the few posts I saw of people insulting their name lol). However, I loved the albumContinue reading “K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 2”
The Power of Youth
This is an art project I did at a youth camp. We mainly talked about the role of youth in the world and why they were important. We also talked about how the decisions youth make can affect their ability and desire to engage in service as an adult which is why I decided toContinue reading “The Power of Youth”
K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 1
I’m trying to be more picky when it comes to which K-pop groups I listen to, as I don’t want to feel pressured to listen to every new song that comes out. However, there have been some K-pop groups that have really piqued my interest. Here’s my list: ILLIT: Though I heard ILLIT’s debut EP,Continue reading “K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 1”
Ventures Art Projects
It’s been a while since I last posted about my stories. I am still working on them, I just haven’t been drawing my characters like I used to. I promise I won’t scrap them! These are from 2023:
Summer of Service 2025: My Experience Pt. 2
After the 3-day camp, we split up and stayed over in other communities to help with their activities. I was able to go back to my hometown and do a children’s class with some of my friends from Summer of Service. It was a bit difficult because of how unfamiliar the kids were with myContinue reading “Summer of Service 2025: My Experience Pt. 2”
