Hi! It’s Annie! Before I go further into this post I want to say that not only will this post contain MAJOR SPOILERS for ‘K-Pop Confidential’, but also its sequel ‘K-Pop Revolution’.

Hi! It’s Annie! There’s been a lot of tension and confusion in the fandom right now. And by a lot I mean, definitely more than normal.

K-Pop: ONEUS ‘PYGMALION’ Comeback
Hi! It’s Annie! I would just like to thank ONEUS for one of the best birthday presents I could have ever gotten this year. A comeback the day before my birthday? First a concert near Valentine’s Day and then a comeback almost on my birthday? Seriously, I feel so spoiled by them. And this comebackContinue reading “K-Pop: ONEUS ‘PYGMALION’ Comeback”

ATEEZ: Why These Fandoms are Important
Hi! It’s Annie! I find that when I’m writing about my favorite K-Pop groups, particularly ATEEZ, I often say that I don’t have the words to describe what they mean to me. And while that is most likely true and I most likely will never be able to formulate just how much these men haveContinue reading “ATEEZ: Why These Fandoms are Important”
ATEEZ: Happy Late Birthday, Seonghwa!

ATEEZ: ‘Limitless’
Hi! It’s Annie! I’m just going to say from the beginning that this is going to be my new summer song. ATEEZ is just so incredibly good at creating sweeping epic songs that inspire hope. I know that Mingi said that this was probably his favorite of their Japanese releases. For me, it would beContinue reading “ATEEZ: ‘Limitless’”
ATEEZ: Happy Birthday Yunho!
Hi! It’s Annie! It is officially Yunho week! And also the week that marks the release of “Limitless”. Overall, just a great week for Atiny. But, more importantly, it gives me the absolute best excuse to gush about my ult bias, the man who stole my heart from the get-go, Jeong Yunho. The bear retrieverContinue reading “ATEEZ: Happy Birthday Yunho!”
ATEEZ: Europe and News
Hi! It’s Annie! I often feel that it has been way too long since I’ve talked about my ult group. But this is not really the way I was hoping to come back to them on the blog. Of course, I’m going to be talking about general ATEEZ news, so there will be some reallyContinue reading “ATEEZ: Europe and News”
K-Pop: ONEUS DO IT
Hi! It’s Annie! Some of my current favorite comfort watches are variety shows that are made for idols by the companies that those groups are with. I’ve talked before about how shows like this only become more common with the passing years and are beginning to completely surpass general variety shows. From ‘ATEEZ: FEVER Road’Continue reading “K-Pop: ONEUS DO IT”
