A new era begins today as ZEROBASEONE make their first comeback as a newly-reconfigured five-member group. We’ve seen this approach before with Kep1er, but this situation has an extra layer of interest because the remainder of the (former) group will be re-debuting as AND2BLE in a week’s time, setting up showdown of sorts. With this … Continue reading
There are a number of acts who have debuted in the past few decades and have dozens of song ratings on this blog. I thought it would be fun to lay these ratings out in chronological order, line-graph style, and take a macro view of their careers so far. Then, similar to my “Underrated K-pop” … Continue reading

At the end of each month, I compile my top three K-pop title tracks and list a ton of honorable mentions. But each Sunday, I’ll offer a compendium of the week’s new releases featured on the blog. And even more than that, I’ll attempt to rank them from my least-to-most-liked. I invite you to share … Continue reading
In connection with my desire to fully keep up with the J-pop industry, I’m planning to do a weekly round-up of any new releases that have caught my ear.

The Bias List is a K-pop blog that also covers a fair amount of J-pop. But just like most music fans, I enjoy tracks from all around the world. So, I thought I’d start a monthly round-up of some of the non-K-pop songs that have caught my ear. No ratings — just highlights! February 2022 … Continue reading

A K-pop act’s title track isn’t always the best song on their album, even if it’s the one most people will hear. Sometimes, b-sides deserve recognition too. In the singles-oriented world of K-pop, I want to spotlight some of these buried treasures and give them the props they deserve. YOUNITE came out of nowhere with … Continue reading

This video also functions as a teaser for their upcoming drama After-School Exorcism Club. Since debut and re-formation, Fifty Fifty’s style has run the gamut but … Continue reading

SeeYa were a vocal-focused trio active from 2006 to 2011. They were a big part of the K-pop landscape at the time, but not an act I’ve ever featured here since their promotional time ended before the blog began. However, the ladies have reunited for their twentieth anniversary, unveiling a new full album and title … Continue reading

The Boys II Planet series continues to spawn new acts and today we have the debut of duo FLARE U. This team consists of Chuei Li Yu and Kang Woo Jin, both under FNC Entertainment. It’ll be interesting to see if this becomes a longtime configuration or if the agency will eventually try to fold … Continue reading

I know it’s a common name, but I still think it’s amazing that there were two of them in the same agency! This Park … Continue reading
Weeks after labelmates DXMON made a surprise return, H Music Entertainment’s “get our artists out of the dungeon” series continues with a new song from girl group WOOAH. The group rebranded in 2024 but haven’t released anything since then. The rock-tinged WXW (Wish With W) tries its best to get things back on track. I … Continue reading
