THIS WEEK IN K-POP: Ranking the New Releases from February 16-22

At the end of each month, I compile my top three K-pop title tracks and list a ton of honorable mentions. In 2025, I thought I’d try something new and add a weekly feature to supplement my monthly round-up. 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 your own rankings as well. The comments section of these posts is also a great spot to discuss anything that has happened in K-pop during the week.

Make sure to click on the title of any release to read the full review and see its initial rating. Consider this your one stop Bias List shop each and every Sunday!

  1. The Stranger⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I liked:

    POW – they have a different approach to kpop and I respect that.

    LUN8 – I mentioned I was pleasantly surprised by the dramatic concept and vocals.

    Kiikii’s (I Do Me)- I know a lot of people didn’t think much of it, but I found myself unconsciously singing it all week.

  2. i don’t understand music nor learn about music but really enjoy reading your reviews. ONF’s new comeback indeed sounds unique how to put it… Its giving 80s retro vibes. What a rare sounds in a new generation of KPOP group, i kinda like it.
