Noticeable Differences One big difference that I have noticed is the camera work and the use of “fan cams”. Camera work on South Korean music shows is not just used to show off parts of the performance; it is really meant to enhance it, to make it feel like it’s jumping out at you, likeContinue reading “Korean Music Shows vs. International Shows Pt. 2”

Korean Music Shows vs. International Shows Pt. 1
If you’re someone who likes music performances, you have probably watched performances on talk shows and variety shows like The Tonight Show, Good Morning America, and Saturday Night Live. As a K-pop fan, I like watching these shows to see my favorite K-pop groups perform (like P1Harmony!). These American shows are like an additional placeContinue reading “Korean Music Shows vs. International Shows Pt. 1”
To Be a “Global” Girl Group…
To some, a global girl group is a group with members from various countries and continents. To others, it’s a girl group that is popular internationally. Throughout history, there have been multiple top girl groups such as Fifth Harmony, TLC, Spice Girls, Destiny’s Child, and many more. Girl groups have used their platforms to sendContinue reading “To Be a “Global” Girl Group…”
In Honor of Afrobeats
Afrobeats have begun to rise in K-pop with many songs like “Tinnitus” by TOMORROW X TOGETHER, “Rover” by KAI, and “Super (손오공)” by SEVENTEEN. However, throughout its history, K-pop has been known for appropriating other cultures. One of the most prominent is black culture. From using “black English” to straight-up saying slurs, K-pop seems toContinue reading “In Honor of Afrobeats”
Songs That Influenced Me
This is a list of songs that have honestly affected what kind of music I listen to and the music that I create. This list is subject to change, so I may or may not make an updated version, but I just wanted to share the songs that have inspired me. I hope you enjoyedContinue reading “Songs That Influenced Me”
K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 4
Continuing from where we left off last time: KiiiKiii: I first heard about their interesting and abnormal concept on YouTube. It gives me “girl next door” vibes. At first, I thought their concept wasn’t going to stand out much to me because it didn’t have a concrete theme, something I see often in 5th-generation K-popContinue reading “K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 4”
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”
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”
DUH! EP Review/Analysis
I got into P1Harmony at the beginning of their Killin’ It era. After listening to their older music, I can see that Killin’ It was a turning point in their musical direction, as it was their first full album. They still make music in a style that is unique to them, but it seems likeContinue reading “DUH! EP Review/Analysis”
