The Kpop Superfan Member Test!

During last week's Kpop Music Monday on EYK, instead of doing their usual music video review, they put up this Kpop Superfan Test instead. And guess what? I was bored enough to do it. So basically, they posted a list of all these kpop groups and how many members each one has and we're supposed to try and name all the members. One point for every correct answer.  I tried my luck and got a 106/124. Which, according to their scoring system,...

YG's new reality survival show - Who Is Next?

I just saw the pilot episode of WIN: Who Is Next? on Mnet's youtube channel. For non-YG stans, WIN is a new 10-episodic reality survival show on Mnet that documents the debut of YG Entertainment's next boy group. In the same way the debut of Big Bang was documented in a reality show, WIN shows us the road to the debut of YG's first new boy band in 8 years, dubbed WINNER. However, unlike Big Bang's debut, WIN seems more cutthroat...

There have been many casting news for new movies and dramas due out later this year to next year and, of course, a number of idols are being considered for big roles.

Current Addiction: EXO's "Growl"

I've just recently started listening to EXO, ever since they came out with "Wolf" and their new album XOXO. For some reason, previous tracks "Mama" and "History" just weren't able to hold my attention for more than a few listens. But the moment I heard "Wolf", I knew I had found my new crack. And even more so when they released their latest single "Growl". Not only does "Growl" have one of the best music videos to come out of SM Entertainment...

Monstar, a look back

Mnet's music drama Monstar came to a close last week. And the main thing I brought with it: "God, I love Junhyung." Overall, I’m okay with the finale. Though, yes, I would’ve appreciated more answers. However, the lack of direct answers is fine in that the emotional closure felt enough. You know what I mean? The show left off in a place where I know these characters will be fine. I don't have to worry about them. Regarding the falling out...
