At the end of each month, I look back at my three favorite title tracks by K-pop artists. I take my own ratings into account, but there’s a bit of wiggle room as certain songs tend to grow or fade. November 2025 Overall Thoughts Though there’s still another month left of 2025, I always consider November … Continue reading

Song Review: RESCENE – Bloom
The year in K-pop is slowly winding down and we’re squeezing out the last few releases before eligibility for my year-end countdown closes. Girl group RESCENE found their way onto last year’s countdown with the catchy Love Attack, but I’ve struggled to connect with any of their 2025 work. Earlier this month, they dropped a … Continue reading

Song Review: RESCENE – Heart Drop
After an exciting flash of energy with 2024’s Love Attack, girl group RESCENE retreated back to current girl group tropes for their work this year. Still, they’ve developed a small but passionate fan base and are set to expand those numbers with an upcoming album. Up first is pre-release Heart Drop. Honestly, all of these … Continue reading

Song Review: RESCENE – Deja Vu
Girl group RESCENE enjoyed a bit of momentum with last year’s single Love Attack, but their agency has been unable to capitalize on this so far. Title track Glow Up came and went with little fanfare earlier this year, and the buzz around new single Deja Vu also seems to be muted. The public clearly … Continue reading

Song Review: RESCENE – Glow Up
Across several releases in 2024, RESCENE proved themselves an exciting rookie act capable of offering a somewhat different sound than most of their peers. K-pop’s girl groups are stuck in a very airy (often “beige”) style of muted pop music at the moment and I’m waiting for a new voice that popularizes a change in … Continue reading
The Top 10 K-Pop Rookies of 2024
Before I take a look at K-pop’s established artists, it’s time to spotlight this year’s fresh crop of talent! When I ran my first-ever Bias List survey, I was surprised when the majority of respondents noted that this year’s rookies were not particularly exciting. But when I took a look back at the year as … Continue reading

At the end of each month, I look back at my three favorite title tracks by K-pop artists. I take my own ratings into account, but there’s a bit of wiggle room as certain songs tend to grow or fade.

Song Review: Rescene – Love Attack
Rescene made their debut during a busy week for new girl groups. Lumped alongside ILLIT, UNIS, Candy Shop and ME:I, their UhUh stood as the most promising track of the bunch. But without an album to develop this promise, it was difficult to put much stock into Rescene’s future. Thankfully, their first comeback Love Attack … Continue reading

Song Review: Rescene – UhUh
Newly-debuting girl group Rescene are apparently fans of the two-syllable onomatopoeia song title. After delivering pre-release YoYo late last month, they’re back with their official debut UhUh. Neither of these titles inspire much confidence, but the songs have been stronger than those sound effects suggest. Though UhUh is a mixed bag, its highlights outweigh its … Continue reading
Song Review: Rescene – Yoyo
Girl group Rescene will make their debut late next month, but before that they’ve pre-released Yoyo alongside a shortened music video. The song positions them in the space formerly occupied by acts like GWSN and LOONA — a little quirky and ethereal with nuanced production that often shifts tone and rhythm. Those who are missing … Continue reading
