In fact, there are fewer highlights than I can ever remember at this time of the year … Continue reading
I’m not going to review this song because I don’t want to be unnecessarily mean, but listening to rookie group BLINGONE’s re-creation of KARA’s immortal Mister makes for a fascinating case study and comparison between K-pop generations. It answers the question nobody had but everybody wants to know: What if a classic second-gen song had … Continue reading
This is a strange era for K-pop… at least when it comes to my own experience. On one hand, there are a handful of acts I feel more invested in than ever, which is the feeling everyone wants as a fan. In some ways, I’m more interested in K-pop than I have been in awhile, … Continue reading

How’s that for a very Bias List specific title of a post? The thing is, after a very long drought, we’re on the verge of our first Sweetune-produced title track in many, many months with the release of BBGirls’ new single on the 15th!! Before that, I’ve got a bit of an unusual playlist for … Continue reading
Happy 2025! As we transition to a new year, it’s Bias List tradition to unveil some wishes I have for K-pop going forward.
