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!

Hollywood Action mostly just sounds like Uptown Funk to me, if the boy group version of i-dle made it. (and that’s not because both groups have the same frequent collaborators in Pop Time and Daily LOL.) this comeback has been honestly underwhelming. No Genre is still one of my favorite albums this year so I had high expectations.

Bathroom and Live in Paris were also my favorite from the album, but overall, they were still underwhelming comparing to boynedo’s previous b-sides

BTOB Changsub also released an EP album ‘EndAnd’ on this week(22nd Oct). The title track is Trickle Down. It really suits with autumn season
