Which October Comeback Was The Best? [Poll]

6

You know, it’s really hard for me to sit down at the end of a month and decide which album it is that I love them most. Especially when that month has been crammed full of the most amazing comebacks! Trying to decide which album I love the most is like trying to decide which drink to order at the local coffee shop… Each one has its merit and really it all comes down to whatever fits my mood at the moment.

The same can definitely be said of this past month’s K-Pop comebacks. Each one has its merit and each one satisfies my different moods. When I’m in the mood for some good old-fashioned, make my heart skip a beat, 90’s boy-band goodness, I turn to SHINee’s 1 of 1. When I want something a bit edgier but fun, I head straight to Monsta X’s The Clan: Part 2. When I just want to feel a warm and fuzzy, I turn on 100%’s Time Leap and my heart gets all squishy as it swells with all the “I’m so happy their finally back” feels. And then there all the rookie singles, like SF9’s Feeling Sensation, or HIGH 4:20’s “Hook가” or BASTARZ “Selfish & Beautiful Girl,” which are perfect for a quick K-Pop fix. And when I simply want to die, I turn on BTS’ WINGS and wave goodbye to my soul as it departs from my mortal frame.

With so much great music out there, you can see why choosing a single album to talk about can be difficult. The choices really are almost endless and I love them all. Which is why I’m asking you to help me decide which of this past month’s comebacks should be lauded as the best. All you have to do is cast your vote for your top 3 (because who can really choose just one?) in the poll below.

#TBT: BIGBANG “Fantastic Baby”

1

It’s been over a year since BIGBANG last released their M, A, D, E EPs and that whole promise of a full-length MADE album has yet to be fulfilled. However, after reading yesterday that the group has not only just wrapped up filming for a brand new music video, but also have plans to film another video at the beginning of next month and release that long-overdue MADE album… Well, I’m feeling like right now may be the perfect time to squee.

#TBT: SHINee x SNL

11

I know it’s only been a little over a year since SHINee last made a group appearance on SNL Korea which means this isn’t much of a throwback but really, who cares? If it gives me a chance to laugh until I cry and squeal over SHINee all at the same time, I’m all for it! Continue reading “#TBT: SHINee x SNL”

#TBT: TVXQ! “Mirotic”

mirotic-2

You know, there’s a lot of ugly in the world right now and sometimes it can get a little overwhelming. I wish I could say I had answers and solutions and all sorts of brilliance that could suddenly fix all of the world’s problems. But I don’t. Instead, I have an insatiable love of all things Hallyu which, granted, doesn’t necessarily make the world a better place but it makes my world a better place by providing me with all sorts of beautiful and wonderful distractions which help me forget just how messed up life really is. Continue reading “#TBT: TVXQ! “Mirotic””

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

5

I know I’m a little late in writing this but I still wanted to take a second to wish you all the best in this new year. May your year be filled with joy, health, happiness, prosperity, K-Pop, dramas, and more biases than you could ever hope to swoon over! Thanks for squeeing with me over the past year. I love you all! ♥♥♥

 

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Christmas

When You’re Sick On A Friday Night

1

Okay, so really when you’re sick on a Friday night, curling up to marathon a drama sounds like a great idea until you fall asleep half-way through an episode and wake up 10 episodes later. It’s always frustrating when that happens which is why I put off watching new dramas when I’m sick. Instead of risking missing something super important I go back to dramas I know by heart so when I randomly fall asleep, I can wake up however many episodes later and pick right back up as if I’d never been asleep at all. Continue reading “When You’re Sick On A Friday Night”

A CITY, A CONCERT AND A ZOMBIE

Group 2

Hey there everyone! I know I don’t have any of my regular Friday posts up this week and for that I’m sorry. I just wanted to let you know that I’m still here, I’m just slightly busy at the moment… Something about BTS being in my city… and a concert… and… Yeah. For those of you who may be headed to TRB tonight in Chicago, I hope you get all the winks and smiles and body rolls and fan-service you could every hope to have. I hope the amazing talent of BTS leaves you in awe and if you happen to shed a few tears of joy, know that you’re not alone. (Yes, sometimes even zombies cry when they’re happy.) If you’re at the concert tonight and you happen to see someone walking around with bright pink hair and glasses, looking so insanely happy she might actually explode, that would probably be me. I’d be more than happy if you stopped me for a second to say hi or squee over a bias or two… or three or four or seven… I’m always a fan of meeting new people and making new friends! Hope to see you there!

ONE OK ROCK IS COMING TO CHICAGO!

OOR

Last week, while taking my daily stroll through the Twitter-verse, I happened upon a Tweet from one of my favorite venues here in Chicago, The House of Blues, which very nearly knocked me out of my chair and this is what it said… Continue reading “ONE OK ROCK IS COMING TO CHICAGO!”
