Song Review: Golden Child – Wannabe

Posted on November 18, 2019 by Nick • 13 Comments

Good things come to those who wait. And wait. And wait. Seriously, I spent most of this year moaning about how long it was taking for Golden Child to make a comeback. Injuries, acting schedules and other agency pursuits combined to create an unbearably long, thirteen-month hiatus. I was fearful that my favorite group had … Continue reading →

Since the start of The Bias List in January 2016, I’ve always looked back at my three favorite title tracks by K-pop artists each month. Now, it’s time to look even further into the past, one month at a time. And, yes, the top three rankings count toward The Bias List’s personal artist scorecard! Which … Continue reading →

Song Reviews: Ranking Queendom’s Final Comebacks

Posted on October 26, 2019 by Nick • 16 Comments

Queendom has become one of K-pop’s most pleasant surprises this year. Its conceit — five girl groups (and one soloist) competing for performance-based dominance — was shockingly good-natured in reality, allowing each act to showcase their charms without the kind of needless drama these series usually thrive on. In fact, I’d be just as happy … Continue reading →

Song Review: Kei (Lovelyz) – I Go

Posted on October 8, 2019 by Nick • 6 Comments

Compared to other girl groups, Lovelyz doesn’t often receive much attention for their individual members. Their music favors sentiment and cohesion over big, standout moments. But over the years, Kei has quietly become one of my favorite female vocalists in K-pop. As a singer, she’s the sort who gives 110% — almost to the point … Continue reading →

Eight Lessons that 2019-era K-pop Could Learn from INFINITE’s The Chaser

Posted on October 6, 2019 by Nick • 24 Comments

If you’ve been reading this site for any length of time, you’ve probably heard me go on about how I consider Infinite’s The Chaser to be the greatest K-pop song of all time. I’m not alone in this thinking, though newer K-pop fans might not even know that the track exists. If this is you, … Continue reading →

Song Review: W Project 4 – 1′ 1″

Posted on September 2, 2019 by Nick • 12 Comments

Woollim Entertainment is my favorite K-pop agency, and one of the things I like most about them is that they carve out a signature sound for their artists. This sound usually counters trends, opting for a more classic pop approach. But now that the agency has been sucked into the Produce 101 orbit, I fear … Continue reading →

Random Shuffle Review: Lovelyz – Candy Jelly Love

With over 2,600 songs on my iPhone’s “K-Pop Singles” playlist, I thought it would be fun to add a bit of unpredictability to my song review posts. So as a result, we have the “Random Shuffle Review” feature. The rules are simple. I fire up my playlist, press “shuffle,” and whatever song plays first gets … Continue reading →

When it comes to pop music, everyone’s got their biases. But, being a fan of an entire agency is a uniquely K-pop proposition. It’s akin to being a devotee of Western companies like Marvel or Apple — knowing that your taste so closely aligns with their output that you’re bound to support anything they create. … Continue reading →
