TUESDAY’S TEASE: ASTRO! IMFACT! KNK! Oh My!

3

I’m fairly convinced the world of K-Pop is trying to kill me. There’s really no other way to explain this never-ending string of lethal fall comebacks and debuts. At least I can’t come up with any other explanation. I mean, I suppose you could credit all of this fabulous music to the annual cycle of K-Pop and whatnot but really, where’s the fun in that?

I know I’ve squealed quite a bit over ASTRO’s impending comeback so I don’t want to dwell too much on them. But HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR FREAKING TEASER!?! If this doesn’t prove these little brats are out to destroy me. I don’t know what does! I mean how the heck am I supposed to deal with this level of cuteness!?!

OH GOSH! NO! STOP! PLEASE! AUUUGGGHHHHH!

CHA EUN WOO, YOU NEED TO STOP THIS NONSENSE RIGHT NOW!

Actually, they all need to just go away. Like, now. Or more accurately, I should just cut myself off from these boys, for the sake of my health and sanity, but I just can’t! I’m addicted to ASTRO’s cute like I’m addicted to the warm fuzzies I get as I sip on a perfectly brewed espresso. Ugh! Is it November 10th yet???

But enough of my spazzing over ASTRO. I said I wouldn’t dwell too long on those little munchkins so I won’t. Instead, I’ll move on and ask the universe in general, how the heck IMFACT thought they could slip in this little tidbit of goodness past me…

Yeah, I’m not okay with this. I do not need any more freaking bias wreckers lurking around, just waiting for their moment to pounce! Too bad these punks don’t seem to care about my bias list or what they might do to it.

Yeeaaaahhhh… They don’t care at all.

I guess if ASTRO doesn’t kill me, IMFACT will finish the job as the group’s second single album is to drop November 11.

If by some miracle I survive this massive onslaught, I’m pretty sure KNK will do me in as they’ve just recently announced the release of their second mini album, Remain, which is scheduled to drop November 17. I honestly have no idea what KNK has in store for us with this album but I have a feeling it’s going to be pretty darn lethal.

Yup, lethal.

Dang it, Youjin! Can you please just stop already!?! You know I’m completely defenseless against beautiful boys with perfect hair!!! Though actually, I think this particular lament applies to every single one of these guys. Ugh! Why do I have to have such a weakness for guys with great voices and equally awesome hair!?! *siiigggghhhhh*

I suppose, that despite all of these comebacks, there’s a slight chance I’ll actually survive this next week or so. But the odds certainly aren’t in my favor. At least, if my heart does end up stopping somewhere in the midst of all of this K-Pop goodness, I’ll die happy. (Hey, I’m all about finding that silver lining!)

Of course what I really want to know, is if there are any comebacks you’re planning on dying over in the very near future. Is there a group or two you’re really looking forward to making a comeback in the near future? Are any (or all) of these three groups among them? Let me know in the comments below!

LET’S CHAT: Hallyu Journalist Lisa Espinosa Talks About Work, Dreams and Dealing With Life’s Curveballs

The world of American Hallyu experts and professionals is a beautiful place, full of amazing and interesting people. People who have dedicated a large portion of their time and energy to delivering unique, original and entertaining content to the world. People whose names you probably recognize but may not know much about. With so many incredible people bringing Hallyu to the world, I thought it might be fun to take some time to sit down and chat with some of them, to give you a chance to get to know a little more about those who help fuel the Hallyu fire that blazes so brightly, here in the States. My very good friend, Lisa Espinosa, from HanCinema and Raine’s Dichotomy (to name a few), is the first of these individuals I’d like to introduce to you. She was gracious enough to take time out of her busy schedule to chat with me for a bit about her work, how she got started in the Hallyu journalism business and what some of her favorite moments have been thus far.

TUESDAY’S TEASE: ASTRO and BTOB Join the Fall Comeback Lineup

autumn-story-2

It’s no secret that this fall has been nothing less than a lethal string of comebacks designed solely to bring both life and death to K-Pop fans the world over. One might think that with such an overwhelming number of comebacks dropping in October, things might slow down a bit now that it’s November. But nope! This string of fall comebacks seems to be almost never-ending as ASTRO and BTOB have recently jumped aboard the comeback train.
