NAEYEON 'ABCD' recording

It's sooo interesting hearing how she can sound when she's more relaxed and opens her tone out more but I do love that she has access to that when needed.

You can tell how hard she worked on this album! I was tired for her loool!

Enjoy!

TripleS Weekly idol!

AT LAST!!

These girls manage to be effortlessly entertaining without over doing it somehow it's masterful considering there's 24 OF THEM!

Nakyoung is THAT girls also the one that said she's the Queen is HILARIOUS. I need to react to their dance practices me thinks.

The intro game was cute but I would've prefer some other challenges but maybe when they come next time! I'll be doing badge wars very soon.

Enjoy!

PSA BADVILLAIN

PSA since I get a lot of people asking.

I have no current interest in reacting to Bad Villain. If their next era is softer with more vocals let me now, otherwise from what I've seen off camera for what they've already released, I'm not a fan of.

Thanks!

Red Velvet Cosmic Mini

Hmm.

FOR A 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY mini this is not it for me. I'm not mad at the title track and a couple of the other bsides and I get that they're past their prime but that doesn't mean they don't deserve top tier innovate music/choreo.

I like the choreo though but their work prior to this is definitely stronger and more interesting overall. The birthday mini would've suited this era WAY more! ALSO from the teasers which I knew I should've ignored cos what follows K-pop teasers ne...

RIIZE - Rising mini & "Impossible" recording!

The day finally came where I felt alright enough to watch some OT6 content lol. Which only means something must be happening soon with Seunghan cos I have weird timings with these things sometimes.

Listening to impossible directly was actually an enjoyable experience, way more than I expected. I was looking forward to Honestly but I think it has to grow on me for sure, I hear the potential with those overlaying vocal lines.

The recording was fascinating cos they really surprised...

YVES Mini Album Review

WOAH!

Was not expecting such a fresh sound and solid execution with a nice variation in terms of genres. Her vocals also surprised me when she was belting a bit more, great placement and tone.

I think we have a great new soloist on our hands!

Enjoy

WAYV Show Me That Mini!

I did this for ya'll but I was the real winner here. She a wolf is A HIT!!

One thing about WayV they know how to do an R&B vibe well. Grown and sexy from DAY dot and as I'm typing this I just realised the song I wanted to reference was TAKE OFF.

I enjoyed this for sure and the album definitely felt more alive than the previous album although not in a crazy way cos I enjoyed poppin love!

Enjoy!

Enhypen En-Clock ep 36&37

*Be warned I forgot to zoom out smh*

YESS!!

 This was fucking hilarious. Jake, Jay & Niki are such a comedic trio honestly. But everyone had moments where they shined here.

I'll definitely be watching more. Their competitiveness and chaos at the end was fucking killing me and Jake pretending he's still alive HAHAHAHAHAA.

I'm gonna change up the next one I watch. I think I want something that explores their relationships in a way but I'm not exactly s...

Girls On Fire Ep 2

Mnet, they could never make me hate you!! They do shows sooo much better in every single way. From the production, budget, segments, to the judges and TALENT.

I think this show unfairly got high expectations from me cos SOOOO Many people dm'd me about it and it continues to be ...okay. Had they formatted different I think I would've been invested more.

I also DESPERATELY was waiting to fall in love with someone's voice like I did in Build Up and it's all more of the same delivery...

Streetwoman Fighter Ep 3

SOOOO GOOD!!

Here we have the usual drama for sure BUT some moments of camaraderie coming out, I hope to see more of that and cute moments which I'm sure I'll see.

JAM republic are A FORCE! That choreo for Le Sserafim HIT! AUDREY is a BEAST! I really want MANNEQUEEN to be more likeable, they're just sooo intense and I'm glad it was mentioned but they have moments of being endearing, I'd like to see more of that.

Can't WAIT for the next episode!

Enjoy!

Discovering TVXQ with ROZ!

This idea came about as a product of red wine in Seoul!! LOOL

I had Roz join me as she knows everythinggg about DBSK. PLEASE do not cook her if she didn't think of any songs I would've enjoyed, she had to think of them on the SPOT!

I'm sure she'll defend herself in the comments.

This was super fun though and I wish Bolero was on Spotify. SUCH A GREAT SONG! I've also grown to love Taeyong's dad's voice, Jaejoong

ENJOY!

NEWJEANS Bubble Gum & How Sweet Recording

This was definitely their most laid back recording so far which suits the moods of the songs I guess.

Minji's voice though. WHAT a stand out!

Also Hanni's voice catches my ear too. It's interesting to me that Min Heejin was there directing the recording too, not often you have CEO's in the studio.

Enjoy!

NAYEON - Na Album Review

YOOOOOOOO!!

It's hard to put into words why this album is so fantastic but I tried.

She's standing in her own truth as an artist and making sure her songs come across INTENTIONAL and fully fleshed out. It's not a case of throw away predictable formulas the entire album but so many unexpected moments. Whether it's how she uses language or how her duets are set up. Her and Sam demolished that song and brought something so new with the wall of sound harmonies.

She managed t...

ZB1 - Weekly Idol

I would've LOVED for them to do random play dance but the singing one was okay, luckily they managed to make it entertaining but I dunno if every group would manage to do so.

Ricky's so cuuuute! Love that he's trying to be funny, he does it well. I hope wakeone looks after him since he's joked about not being happy.

Their chemistry is SOOO easy going, I love it. ALSO they need to stop dressing Jiwoong like he's 40. I've noticed how they style his hair and clothes is SO on the no...

F(X) Red Light Album Review

SURPRISE!

This was requested to me and thought I'd do it straight way since I hadn't done them in so long!

I definitely the first half of the album more because it had more experimentation and unpredictability. I do wish the vocal melodies were more stand out throughout, it feels like they take a back seat to the unique musical production instead which does work but they have strong vocalists that should be utilised a bit more.

Maybe it's just how they've mixed the vocals...

ZEROBASEONE Zico Show

Firstly.

I need Ricky to be blonde again and to have like normal make up, I dunno what they're doing to him but he needs to look more natural again PLEASE.

Other than that, the VOCALS! Gunwooks rapping was a great reminder of what he can do, I FORGOT he could do that! Matthew ate and of course that naught cover YASS!! Haobin for life!

Loved!

Enjoy!

NIKI Atom behind!

BABY genius!

Very interesting seeing how involved he was with the entire concepts. That kind of artistic expression is sooo important especially since groups have to compromise so much for the bigger picture.

Him discussing the changes in his height and how it's impacted his dancing made me feel verrryy validated once again! My eye don't lie hunny!!!

Love how close he is with the maknae line, so cute! Made me want to watch some more variety content instantly lol.

E...

INSIDE SEVENTEEN - Spell & Maestro!

IT'S BACK!

I forgot how enjoyable these are. I hope they do one for studio recording, I've not done enough of those for Seventeen!

Dino the superstar that you are! And that spin Minghao did, WOW!!

Might need to revisit these more in the future!

XDINARY HEROES Concert Clips & Recording 3

Ah.

Falling in love with this band is my literal favourite thing cos their music for the most part isn't even for ME but this shows the beauty of VOCALS and talent and that really excites me.

Jooyeon is one of the best singers I've ever heard in my life and he's so young yet sooo versatile and commanding. All 6 of them are just special to me now and I pray they have a really long and fruitful career!

That recording of until the end of time was an experience!

Enjoy!...

TWICE - Signal Album Review

The journey continues!!

This is easily my least favourite sonically for far, ESPECIALLY cos signal as a tt has good production and hits the spot, then I hear those shocking bsides.

Thank GOD for the final song, that was a pleasant surprise!

The next album I'm really looking forward to cos I LOVEEE Likey!!

Enjoy!

Jungkook Suchwita ep 2

Can't wait til they return!!

Another great episode chemistry wise. Jk is as witty as ever and baby Taehyung was fucking that food UP LOOL! He really came to do what he had to do and dipped.

Suga is such a loveable man, I wish nothing but the best for him!

Enjoy!

Girls on Fire Episode 1

Ya'll won lol.

I had to check out a bit of this now and then follow up in a couple weeks! I like that the show gets straight to the point. The judging panel is also good! Feels a bit random but it works.

The main different between this and Build up was, I didn't fall in love with anyones voice just yet. Where as I fell in love with Neon straight away and of course Jay was there.

My favourite constant didn't even win hers. Which also annoyed me cos once again boring ...

TRIPLES - Badge Wars Ep 1-3

 Even if you're not interested in tripleS please watch!! I think you'll enjoy it.

Anyway.

HOW FUCKING random loool but you can thank itktok for showing be great clips from this show.

I THOROUGHLY enjoyed myself. Some of the best variety content I've seen in a minute. The concepts and games had enough variety and really helped showcase the members personalities. I'm very happy to see there's some witty characters who have the best facial expressions LOL.

Chungha...

Me & Zin react to LUCAS - Renegade MV & Practice

Thought this would be better as a Patreon EXCLUSIVE!!

Enjoy!

Girls On Fire

Since I'm DM'd about it every other day, rightfully so cos it's my kinda show I thought it'd be easier to do this because I keep replying to people individually.

I'm aware of the show and I was going to check it out then I realised Viki doesn't allow screen recording and it annoyed me at the time.

I will check it out once I've finished covering what I currently need to cover because as you could see by the TEN VIDEOS I uploaded yesterday, I've bitten off a bit more than I can che...

Solar Mujin Service!

OUT DOOR!! Fun.

She was the perfect person for this. I'm really glad she did this too because I could finally hone in on her technique and which parts of her voice I truly enjoy!

Her twang affects her overall tension and isn't inherently bad because it gives her voice character and ease but then it sometimes holds her voice back although she can choose to get rid of it at the right times for dynamics so it's essentially a choice which is what you want.

She's so cute and go...

ZEROBASEONE Feel The Pop Album

The way I filmed this on the 18th of May and just never edited it :( lol. I think it's because my mic has broke that day and I was falling behind and then my laptop was being a bit weird with he sound but shit happens!

I didn't love Feel the pop as much as sweat but I'm glad it got them some wins!

The bsides were okay but I would've wanted something a bit more unique to them but I guess because it's a summer album, things are usually much more stripped back.

Enjoy!

ATEEZ Work Album

It's the way I was SO excited at the start and thoroughly realised this is ATEEZ's first hard miss.

The energy is not connected here and I can say that confidently after experiencing the last few releases probably since Fireworks I really started paying attention to them closely and everything just MADE sense.

Work as a title track is underwhelming and is sonically missing a lot of pazzaz that you usually get from ATEEZ, I was waiting for that UH HUH moment for it to click but i...

KEP1ER 1st Album Review

This album STARTED off very strong!! I was very shocked at the direction they were going with the bsides, come ON WAKEONE!

Also I'd just realised Straight line reminds me of Mis-teeq a little, any other brits especially hear this?

As the album went on though it started to lose some steam for me. The vocals could've been more exciting, as could the production. I do love how much attention is on Xiaoting, she DESERVES!

All this to say this album is DEFINITELY a step in the ...

ARTMS Dall Album Review!

I'd been filming so much recently it's hard to remember but after quickly reviewing I remember how much their presentation excited me conceptually. It all feels very new and specific TO them.

Although I do find some of the production choices uninspiring towards the end, I do think they've started at a great point and will definitely develop into more exciting artists through out their albums.

I do really like a couple of the members' voices too through out and it would be great t...
