BLACKPINK Keep Teasing Their August Mystery Feature
BLACKPINK? In our area? It’s more likely than you think. The global chart-dominating, record-breaking, ddu-du ddu-duing titans of South Korean girl group pop are promptly returning to us with a follow-up to their summer smash “How You Like That” later this month, and on Monday…
BLACKPINK Announce Their Long, Long Awaited Debut Album
The Album is finally coming. No, really: it's called The Album. (The concept of The Album is, you know, the album.) Almost exactly four long years after first arriving in our area with "Boombayah," the enormously popular quartet known as BLACKPINK - Rosé, Jennie, Jisoo and Lisa - are squaring up…
The 20th Anniversary of BoA's Debut Begins With 'Our Beloved BoA'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfslE2pbmCk The year is 2020, and there is at least one good reason to celebrate amid an otherwise relentless onslaught of misery: it's the 20th anniversary of the debut of BoA, the Queen of K-Pop™ herself. On August 25, 2000, at the absurdly young age of 13, Kwon…
Red Velvet's Irene & Seulgi Get 'Naughty' With Their Hands
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCWoUUWwdqg Evidently, Irene and Seulgi have also been watching a lot of Legendary in their downtime. The lovely, touchy-feely, and occasionally creepy ladies of Red Velvet are back almost immediately after the release of their sub-unit lead single and mini-album…
Red Velvet's Irene & Seulgi Are Little Monsters (No, Not That Kind - But Maybe?)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ujb-gvqsoi0&feature=emb_title The ladies of Red Velvet are no strangers to a creepy concept. The morbid, near-death experience glee of "Russian Roulette," anyone? The Strangers/Us-esque eeriness of "Peek-A-Boo"? Simply put: the girls do dork-sided well. Enter Irene…
'Play': Chung Ha Feels Her Midsommar Matador Fantasy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPFrHYXYxak&feature=emb_title Summer might be a bit quiet this year (unless you're selfish and cramming up against a heap of shirtless bodies on an island at night somewhere, I digress), but our beloved K-pop Queens are doing what they can to keep us entertained with…
'Feedback': BoA, Queen of K-Pop, Returns With a Nostalgic Summer Bop
BoA, Queen of K-Pop™, is back - because she's got to keep carrying the entire K-pop industry on her back. (Kidding, although I do secretly love seeing comments like that.) "Feedback" - her latest Korean single, out on Tuesday (June 4) - might as well have been called "Throwback," because that's…
'Cut It Up': Queen CL Returns to Slice & Dice Some Bitches
Queen CL, The Baddest Female™, is back at last, and she's brought a few friends (and a few sharp objects) along with her. The 28-year-old 2NE1 girl group member-turned-solo star teamed up with Japanese hip-hop collective PKCZ - that's Exile's Makidai, M-flo's Verbal and DJ Daruma - as well as "Take…
'Kill This Love': BLACKPINK's Back to Kick (Br)ass
BLACKPINK's back in our area - and quite frankly, they ought to just look into getting a sublet or something because these frequent visits are getting kind of ridiculous. Kidding! May they buy a house and remain in our area forever and ever. (And may we all remain forever young.) Jennie, Lisa, Rosé…
'What You Waiting For?': Anda Reboots Her Career With a Banger Intended for BLACKPINK
To no one's surprise, K-pop is continuing to deliver quality in 2019. Today's gem comes from two equally intriguing acts: R.Tee, the DJ and composer hailing from YG's sub-label The Black Label responsible for co-producing BLACKPINK's "Playing With Fire" and "DDU-DU DDU-DU" among other hits, and…
