NU'EST - "Sleep Talking" 24 Aug 2013 | 03:04 pm
Though they didn't make my "official" list, NU'EST was one of the rookie groups I was keeping my eye on this year because of the potential they showed last year. I may not have reviewed "Hello", but I...
Seungri - "Let's Talk About Love" 19 Aug 2013 | 07:49 pm
Seungri's first EP is one of those albums that I can not only listen to from start to finish without skipping a track, but also one of the few that I would still do so for, years after its release. "V...
XIA (Junsu) - "Incredible" 15 Jul 2013 | 04:27 pm
Last year's "Tarantallegra" sort of mentally prepared me for whatever ridiculous mediocrity I thought C-Jes and Junsu would deliver with "Incredible", and even after hearing, and savoring, the jaw-dro...
The K-Pop Writers' Workshop 5 Jul 2013 | 05:30 pm
One of my main goals for Pop Reviews Now, and for my writing and the work I do in general, is to encourage more people to write about K-Pop, especially young writers. Recently, that goal has expanded ...
XIA (Junsu) - "11am" 2 Jul 2013 | 06:47 pm
There have been more that just a few instances over the past few months when I find myself forgetting why I like five-piece DBSK, together or any fraction or combination of, and why I continue to foll...

As much as I was cautiously looking forward to EXO's first album, by the time "Wolf" came out as the official lead single, I began losing hope. That song, which I'll get to later, is a disaster that b...
Younha - "Just Listen" 28 May 2013 | 12:15 pm
After last year's "Supersonic", which was a brilliant album inside out (and my favorite album of 2012!), honestly I was curious to see what Younha would put out next. It wasn't fear like the kind I ha...
SHINee - "The 3rd Album Chapter 2. 'Why So Serious? - The Misconceptions Of Me'" 29 Apr 2013 | 06:16 pm
I think you know by now that whenever I'm going through a dry spell with reviews and my writing, the person I go to for inspiration and help is my good friend-slash-amazing writer-slash-long-lost twin...
The limits of "pushing the limits" 28 Apr 2013 | 11:51 am
Whenever pop acts challenge so-called “different” sounds and styles, that foray is usually made under the guise of “pushing the limits” or “thinking outside of the box”. Those concepts have also been ...
15& - "Somebody" 9 Apr 2013 | 09:33 am
One of the highlights of last Sunday's K-Pop Star 2 final show was, for me, the 15& comeback. This was one of the few comebacks in quite a while that I really followed from the very beginning, mainly ...
