Let's talk about the realities of it and how it was getting started as a creator and things I discovered along the way and some of the good things and frustrations about being so visible online.

This week I'm letting you all know how I got in to this genre that has changed my life in EVERY way!
I also share some of of the songs that played a huge part in this journey I am still on and is only getting better by the day!
Aww i'm so happy for them.
The title track is fantastic and so is the vocal work throughout the album however the bsides themselves were a little uninspired and generic in genre which is a real shame.
I hope their producers have more range in the future because Fromis' last full album was a wonder and set the bar high but of course that was HYBE lol.
I'll be looking forward to more from them!

BRO.
San & Yunho need to be sub unit QUICKLY!! Those vocals were soo soothing and r&b coded! They have naturally smooth tones that really suit this kinda music. I wanted to hear MORE!!
This vibe really works for them and it's soo nice hearing their voices in a more natural state.
Jongho's power was also CRAZY and it's amazing seeing how much they can actually dial it down in the finished product.
Enjoy!
2025-06-24 16:49:58 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I cover the more personal side to this kpop journey as well as the realities of being a content creator, I even touch on some of my lowest moments mentally which i'm glad to have passed!

In this episode I get into where I stand on the effects of globalization essentially and how influential these African genres are in a market that doesn't always credit where the music comes from whilst also at times discriminating against people of African descent.
Is it all negative if black producers/choreographers are also finding work and opportunities via this channel?
"In this episode I briefly summarize ITZY's history and try and pin point where things went wrong for a group that literally BURST onto the scene in 2019!
I wanted to wait for the latest album to drop first to see where I stood and IF they would do things differently ... in some ways they did and in some ways we still have some of the same issues. "
Another ATEEZ member!! I hope Yunho is next!
It's interesting hearing how adaptable his voice and how he can sound like a different person at times and the control he has with that.
When it comes to his falsetto and the higher parts of his chest voice he loses sense of dynamics and clarity which is a shame cos his lowers are very rich and i suspect he used it most when he was mainly a rapper.
In a group like ATEEZ I don't see him feeling the pressure to reaally improve hi...

FINAALLYY and I did it on the right day!!
I officially know everyones names confidently now lool.
This was also the PERFECT content in terms of the kinda shit I enjoy. Their so witty and dry humoured it's so good lol. Seita especially really surprised but also Haru!
So many good moments, I'm happy their content hits the spot. I'll definitely be carrying on with this.

WOMEN
SO MUCHHHH! This shit was so entertaining. The weirdos that bring so much negativity on my shorts for no reason nearly put me off watching this show. I would've missed out and it just reminded me not to consider opinions too seriously sometimes. I even started the reaction in a bad mood cos of it but after like the 15 min mark my mood improved cos the dancing gagged me so much lol.
Anyway, the most negative part of everything for me is the lack of positi...

EVEN IF You don't know this group. Please watch this.
I'm annoyed it was blocked on Youtube but whatever!
These girls are SINGERS! I'm absolutely invested. They remind me of Billie and NMIXX. Just vocalists all around!
Enjoy!

I am IN LOVE with these girls.
If they were in SM group I think i'd be full for the next few years. I love their personalities and actually getting to see more of it for the first time.
The biggest stand outs being my now bias Sarang cos she's so witty and charming and how gorgeously DEMURE Mai is. She's sooo regal, beautiful AND funny too omg I'm kinda obsessed?!?!
I may do the weekly idol after this! But it depends how much engagement this gets chile so you better write...

Filler episodes much?
It's fine though cos I feel like the FUN is NOT getting started.
Enter K's EVIL EDIT, I see what everyone was talking about now. I find the critiques of him pretty stupid tbh cos he looked like he was performing for his life and should be praised for actually rising above being ill and giving his all.
Heeseung is soo precious and Sunghoon just keeps growing on me. Also Sunoo really is the comedic relief it feels like loool.
So nice rewatching ...

It's Podcast Day!
Episodes 1+2's VISUALS are now available on Patreon on all tiers!
Episodes 3 + 4's audio is now out - visuals out next week. I decided one episode a week isn't enough this week so 1 will be the absolutely minimum every Sunday but others days could have much more if there topics are there.
Today I'm discussing how people perceive ITZY's downfall and where they've gone wrong and right and also Afrobeats/Amapiano in K-pop and where I stand on that. Is it appr...

HELLO visuals!
I'm really excited to share this perspective of the podcast for those who are interested and to have content which will be great for the Olympian tier which I have neglected for way too long.

"I had to get this off my chest cos I've not noticed with any other group I've reacted to.
What's with the dismissal and denial? Where does that stem from? OBVIOUSLY this is multi-layered and the music soundscape is not purely based off of NEWJEANS' sound however you can't help but see the parts that they HAVE influenced.
Hope they have a comeback in the future. "
The biggest takeaways here:
Jinsik's personality is a bit of me. He's funny and just so him at ALL times lool. Minjae is multi talented and i have absolutely NO DOUBT that Sumin is my bias now. He's the FIRST person in k-pop who's rapping actually made me feel something lool. How he changed up his delivery made something click in my mind, he's so talented.
I feel like there's 3 members I don't really connect with. This may change over time but atleast the other 7 still stand out...

AHHH so FUN. I forgot to add that this is one of my favourite recordings I've ever watched also.
It would not be an exaggeration to say this is where I've really fallen for these boys and simply because of how vocally confident they are.
As much as their music doesn't always hit it doesn't matter cos EVERYTHING else in their environment encourages such openness and authenticity that makes them really endearing.
It's refreshing seeing how open they are with their talent and ...

So...
No one wanted to tell me Chaeryoung could sing like this? She impressed me so much, what an ace wtf?? I also really enjoyed Ryunjin.
Hearing how similar their phrasing is was kinda eerie tbh and shows how similar the training is in JYP cos I can hear Nayeon and Jihyo approaching belts in the same ways!
Enjoy!

YES...
It sounds like they're heading towards really maturing in their sound and delivery and even the choreo being a lot more laid back which lines up with Hongjoong said in that interview.
This feels like a step in the right direction and it sounds like the next album will be a progression of this which I am very much in to.
The vocal work on Lemon drop was simply fantastic. A part me still yearns for a little more energy but this is WAY better and the lack of autotune a...

God. Will they ever pick the right title track again??
I actually liked GWBG but Kiss & Tell would've made SUCH a presence and the choreo would've been amazing. I'm not sure who's picking the singles here. I hope this is fixed in the future.
Overall you can't deny that ITZY KNOW what QUALITY is and have a strong identity. Overall not as strong as GOLD but still strong. I really would've loved another imaginary friend but it's fine.

Introducing Micah’s K-spot the PODCAST. Launching TODAY at 1pm BST on all streaming platforms!!
I am JUST full of surprises this year!!
My little incident with my failed camera I guess inspired this and I realised, WHY NOT have a weekly podcast to rant or go in depth with certain songs/artists or topics etc. In my mind, podcasts seem easier to consume than watching something so I’m really looking forward to this journey and perhaps reaching a new audience.

MY BUBBAS!!
Everyone's setlists for these concerts had a couple misses lol but overall this was my favourite I think.
Their energy is great as always and I LOVE that I had no idea what was coming next and the solo/subunit moments were a nice surprise.
I can't stop thinking about Yeonjun, he's a superstar and I really want a thriving solo career for me, he has strong Harry Styles energy. He would soar I think!
I also think they execute Afro type productions soo well...

Though I wish there was 8 crews, I'm super glad the 6 we have are so FULLL of charisma and energy. I hope the eliminations aren't any time soon. Unless they're doing a reduced season.

I gave it a chance but I knew this type of variety just doesn't do much for me, I'm absolutely certain of that now lool.
Their chemistry is great though, they banter easily and know each other very well!
Keiju is so cute I can't take it! Juwang and Minjae were funny!!
Let's hope they release better music next month PLEASEE!! It took everything IN ME not to call them kickflop lool but we're at neutral ground now.

Man this is where Ryo woke me up!!
Then I got into a spiral of watching dance practices cos of his talent. He's nothing like the cutsie persona he usually has lol. His voice is easily my favourite now and he's probably second in skill which caught me off guard!
Tbh the vocals are solid throughout.
Jaehee was just FUCKING rude lool, things almost sound too easy for him. A part of me does wish he had a distinguishable tone though, he just sounds very much perfect but in a w...

Wtf happened here?
Whatever they did, they need to not do it again. Besides the subjectivity of general taste of genres, the mixing is objectively terrible for half of this songs. For artists of their callibre this is simply unaccepable, what are BELIFT/HYBE doing? I heard they used Big Hit's producers this time? But even then TXT's music is produced amazingly so what's the issue?
