Wow, what a change a year can make! At this point in 2023, I was only able to pick a small handful of tracks to feature in my mid-year countdown, but 2024 has me spoiled for choice. My list is unusually long this time and probably won’t be all that surprising (barring one or two … Continue reading
Rather than contain my “Risers and Fallers” feature to a single post in June, I’m going to share a bite-sized version at the end of each month. This will let me account for more songs and make a nice lead-in to the monthly round-up post. I anticipate most of these ratings adjustments will be negligible: … Continue reading

This week, I was fortunate enough to attend the opening night for ONF’s first North American tour — or, to put it more accurately… Canadian tour. Brought to us courtesy of the newly established company J&B Entertainment , I’m hoping this tour does well enough to bring more artists into the Vancouver area. It’s a … Continue reading

Depending on when or where you’re reading this, it’s either the final day of 2023 or the first day of 2024. That means, it’s time to make my K-pop wishes for the new year. I tend to set my sights high, which inevitably leads to disappointment. But nothing ventured, nothing gained — and if even … Continue reading
I’ll be making my 2024 K-pop resolutions tomorrow, but in true Bias List tradition I’d like to rewind one year first. I usually set my wishes pretty high, and 2023 was a weird year for K-pop. But now that the dust has settled, how did I do? Make sure to look back at 2023’s resolutions … Continue reading

The Good Prior to the agency undergoing dramatic changes this fall, the entity-formerly-known-as-Johnny’s (seriously, I don’t even know what to call it!) had a solid enough start to the year. Its acts continued to dominate, with record sales numbers for King & Prince ahead of their reconfiguration and Snow Man leading the charge for the … Continue reading

Consider these “bonus” write-ups — shorter than the “big four” but longer than a paragraph or two could cover. As usual, the thoughts below are my own and aren’t privy to any … Continue reading
