I’m such a noob when it comes to this wonderful world of blogging that up until a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea a Liebster Award even existed and then WHAM! Out of nowhere I was hit by not one but two Liebster Awards in a row! (Once I looked up with theRead More

TUNE OF THE WEEK: B.A.P “1004”
With the release of B.A.P’s first official album, First Sensibility, it should come as no surprise that “1004” wins this week’s Tune of the Week spotlight.
TUNE OF THE WEEK: T.O “Lie”
After a two-week deluge of K-Pop comebacks and debuts, this week has been relatively slow which is why I’ve decided to go back a couple of weeks and feature a fantastic song that kind of got lost in all of the holiday hullabaloo, T.O’s soulful contribution to the Unemployed Romance OST, “Lie.”
TUNE OF THE WEEK: Lee Dong Woo “Fly With You”
I’m not sure what’s with the trend lately for K-artists to release swing-era inspired tunes but I LOVE IT! That being said, it only makes sense to make Lee Dong Woo’s “Fly With You” my tune of the week.
BOYFRIEND COMING TO CHICAGO
For American K-Pop fans, the month of January has been a pretty good one, as both U-KISS and CNBLUE have graced our western shores with their presence (and more importantly) a handful of concerts. For those lucky enough to live on one coast or another, these concerts have been a fantastic opportunity to support ourRead More
Fantastically Foreign Friday Vol. 5
On this (relatively) quiet, cloudy and very fall-ish Friday afternoon, I decided to forgo doing the dishes and actually write a F3 post on Friday *novel idea, I know!* and since I did promise to introduce you to my second favorite J-Rock band and the Granddaddy of all K-Drama’s I better get at it! This week’s featured artist isRead More
Fantastically Foreign Friday Vol. 4
Alright! Alright! I know I missed last week’s 3F post (blame it on a frantic rush to get Halloween costumes finished by Saturday) and for that I’m sorry; so to make it up to you, I’ll treat you to a Monday edition as well as a regular post on Friday. I know, you’re all squealingRead More
Fantastically Foreign Friday Vol. 3
As promised, this week’s music spotlight belongs to none other than the amazing F.T. Island. Debuting in 2007, the five-member band has met with incredible success across Asia, with their single, “Theory of Happiness” grabbing the #1 spot on Japan’s Oricon Daily chart earlier this year. If chart ranking mean nothing to you, have no fear because listening to justRead More
Fantastically Foreign Friday Vol.2
Last week I introduced you to one of my favorite Japanese bands, ONE OK ROCK, and one of my all-time favorite K-dramas, You’re Beautiful. If you took the time to watch any of You’re Beautiful, you probably spent the last week with songs from the show stuck in your head and if you’re at all likeRead More
