Stray Kids recently made their comeback with their fourth studio album, KARMA, led by the title track CEREMONY. However, I still have a backlog of song reviews related to Stray Kids that I have yet to post, including the solo tracks from their Hop mixtape and the unit tracks from their Mixtape: Dominate album. I have already made a start on this backlog, with Lee Know’s solo single from 

You know the term 'no skip albums'? BLUE PARADISE, ZEROBASEONE's 5th mini-album, can be described by that. While no song was a knockout (i.e., 10/10 for me), all 6 songs on BLUE PARADISE are of consistently high quality, making the album suitable for the 'no skip' description. For those tuning in for the first time to BLUE PARADISE or needing a reminder, the mini-album was released in February of this year, led by the single 

WENDY made a comeback last month with the mini-album, Cerulean Verge, her first solo release since leaving SM Entertainment and signing with ASND for solo promotions (which is also the home for fromis_9). WENDY remains under SM Entertainment for Red Velvet activities. The mini-album serves as her third solo mini-album, following last year's Wish You Hell, and is led by the single…

BOYNEXTDOOR is back with their 5th mini-album, The Action, led by the single Hollywood Action. It follows the release of their 4th Korean mini-album, No Genre (yet to review) and the single I Feel Good, as well as their Japanese single, Count To Love. I have been a little busy the last couple of weeks, so I hadn't checked out any teaser material for BOYNEXTDOOR's newest album.

Welcome to the next Weekly KPOP Chart post for Week 3 of October 2025, which spans from October 12 to October 18, 2025. Once again, not much to update you now. Almost midnight where I am, but not as bad as last week. I will be absent from the blog during the week, so I have scheduled some posts already for a couple of days.

Also making their comeback this week is NMIXX with their first studio album, Blue Valentine, and the title track of the same name. It is their first comeback since Fe3O4: Forward from earlier this year, led by the single KNOW ABOUT ME. Following the promotions for Blue Valentine, the group will embark on their first world tour. Blue Valentine…

Yesterday, TWS dropped their 4th mini-album, PLAY HARD, with the single OVERDRIVE serving as the title track to the mini-album. It follows the pre-release of Head, Shoulders, Knees, Toes, which dropped two weeks ago. It also follows TWS' earlier comeback, Countdown and the mini-album Try With Us (yet to be reviewed), which occurred in April. OVERDRIVE seems to bring together the edgy influences that were heavily present in 

Stray Kids recently made their comeback with their fourth studio album, KARMA, led by the title track CEREMONY. However, I still have a backlog of song reviews related to Stray Kids that I have yet to post, including the solo tracks from their Hop mixtape and the unit tracks from their Mixtape: Dominate album. I have already made a start on this backlog, with CHANGBIN’s solo single from…

Welcome to the next Weekly KPOP Chart post for Week 2 of October 2025, which spans from October 5 to October 11, 2025. Not much to update you, and it is also quite late here (past midnight at the time of posting). So I am going straight to the rest of the Weekly KPOP Charts post. What else am I listening to?

It is almost 10 years to the day that TWICE made their debut with the mini-album The Story Begins and the hit single Like OOH-AHH. TWICE has gone on to have multiple hits since then. Not many groups go on to celebrate their 10th anniversary, so to commemorate this fantastic milestone, TWICE released their special album titled TEN: THE STORY GOES ON…

Next up on the album reviews front is SEVENTEEN's 12th mini-album, SPILL THE FEELS, released in October last year. Actually, it is almost to the day the mini-album dropped! The mini-album is led by the single LOVE, MONEY, FAME, featuring DJ Khaled. In addition to LOVE, MONEY, FAME, the mini-album also features 5 additional side tracks, including…

Last month, SUHO from EXO made his solo comeback with his 4th mini-album, Who Are You, and the title track of the same name. It follows his 3rd mini-album released in May 2024, 1 to 3, led by the title track of the same name and the pre-release single CHEESE. Who Are You is another pop-rock single. While this one is quite a decent listen, I found the instrumental to be the more engaging part of the new single.

Rookie group KickFlip has been on a roll this year, debuting back in January with Mama Said (yet to be reviewed) and the mini-album Flip It, Kick It! and returned with their first comeback in June with FREEZE and the mini-album Kick Out, Flip Now!. The group recently pre-released the single Band-Aid (review to come) ahead of their September comeback with…

Welcome to the next Weekly KPOP Chart post for Week 1 of October 2025, which spans from September 28 to October 4, 2025. As mentioned last week, October is upon us. Only three months until the end of the year and then it is 2026. I think I speak on behalf of most people when I say yikes. Apart from that, I don't have much to update you on.

A while back, I mentioned I would go back to review ZEROBASEONE's pre-release single for their BLUE PARADISE mini-album. Well, today is the day. Doctor! Doctor! was released back in January, a month in advance to the release of BLUE PARADISE and the lead single BLUE. Keep your eyes open, as with this song review posted, an album review for…

CHAEYOUNG from TWICE made her solo debut last month with the single SHOOT (Firecracker) and her debut studio album, Lil Fantasy Vol. 1. She is the fourth member of her group to embark on a solo career, following NAYEON, JIHYO and TZUYU. In other related news, TWICE made a comeback with THIS IS FOR earlier this year and will be making a comeback in a weeks time to celebrate their 10th anniversary with the album…

Earlier this week, SEVENTEEN debuted their latest subunit duo CxM, becoming the fourth subunit of the 13-member group after BSS (HOSHI, DK and SEUNGKWAN), JxW (JEONGHAN & WONWOO) and HxW (HOSHI & WOOZI). Following a similar naming pattern, CxM is made up of SEVENTEEN's leader S.COUPS and fellow member MINGYU. Their debut single, 5, 3, 4 (Pretty Woman), dropped on Monday, along with the mini-album…

Welcome to the next Weekly KPOP Chart post for Week 4 of September 2025, which spans from September 21 to 27, 2025. Last week was pretty good in terms of output, despite forgetting to post on the day I returned to work. Hoping to keep up in the new week. There's not much else to update you on, aside from reminding you that we will soon be entering the last quarter of 2025.

It has been a while since we last heard from WOODZ. The last time I reviewed him was for his previous comeback, Amnesia, from 2023, before his military enlistment. More recently, WOODZ unexpectedly resurged on the charts this year with Drowning from his 2023 Oo-Li mini-album (which I never reviewed, but I did review its pre-release and lead singles…

TWS is gearing up for another comeback next month, following on from April's Try With Us mini-album and Countdown single. But ahead of next month's mini-album release, TWS has pre-released the single Head Shoulders Knees Toes. When you just glance over the title of the pre-release single, your mind probably clicks over to the nursery rhyme of a similar name.

A year ago, KANG DANIEL released his 5th mini-album, ACT, led by the single Electric Shock. An additional four songs are featured on the mini-album. Aside from the title track, the mini-album focuses on various EDM styles. This resulted in a very cool mini-album, featuring trendy tracks and a range of songs from KANG DANIEL as a soloist. One of the tracks also features CHUNG HA, further enticing listeners.

Yep, I am still in 2024 with some of the album reviews. Up next is KEY's 3rd mini-album, Pleasure Shop, which was released in September last year. The six-track mini-album is led by a track that shares the same name as the mini-album, alongside five additional tracks. With KEY at the helm of the mini-album, you know it is going to be a strong and good set of tracks, and KEY does not disappoint with…

Stray Kids recently made their comeback with their fourth studio album, KARMA, led by the title track CEREMONY. But I still have a backlog of song reviews that I have yet to post relating to Stray Kids, namely the solo tracks from their Hop mixtape and the unit tracks from their Mixtape: Dominate album. I have already made a start on this backlog, with HYUNJIN’s solo single from 

Earlier this month, TREASURE made their comeback with their 4th mini-album, Love Pulse, led by the title track PARADISE. TREASURE's comeback follows on from their Pleasure special mini-album and single YELLOW from February 2025, as well as news of a leadership change to Junkyu and Asahi and early contract renewals with YG Entertainment. TREASURE's PARADISE is a pop track that suits the summer season quite nicely.

Welcome to the next Weekly KPOP Chart post for Week 3 of September 2025, which spans from September 14 to 20, 2025. I had some time off work this week, so I managed to pump out a review a day this past week! For those who don't know, it is a goal that I have been aiming for a while now, considering my erratic posting schedule.
