Since people were talking in my last post - NCT 127 mentioned 17th of September as a comeback date.
Also, at this point NCT 2021 is being heavily implied/teased + Lucas/Hendery sub-unit is basically already confirmed.
It's a bit early, but happy anniversary to NCT Dream!!!

Katie Kim on the "Get Real" podcast




"Branding" is a very prevalent concept, especially for entertainers. Sometimes the industry or even fans want the artist to have a certain image which may or may not clash with how the artist wants to present themself. What are certain decisions we’ve made for our “brand” and what was put on us that we embraced?

Ladies Code’s Sojung Performs on “Sing Again”, Receives The “All Again” Vote



“Sing Again” is a show where former idols and artists can show off their vocal talent again after their career has slowed down. Sojung sang “The Flight" by Yim Jae Bum. She received the All Again vote, which means every single judge voted to wanting to hear her sing again. Sojung, overwhelmed by the support, is moved to tears at the end of the clip. She’ll be moving on to the next round.

The lyrics of this song is very significant to her experience with the tragedy that occurred with her group (EunB and RiSe killed in car accident, Sojung herself sustained serious injuries in the crash) and rebuilding herself after that tragedy. I have the lyrics included under a cut. They’re worth a look to know how powerful this song is for her.

I got emotional watching this since she is one my all time favorite singers and Ladies Code is so special to me. Her hitting those notes at 2:18 😭 I’m so proud of her!

It's that time of the year again.
The time for mulled wine, cosy sweaters, heated debate at the dinner table, and cheesy Holidays movies.
What are your plans for the holidays? Do you plan on binge watching all the bad romcom?

Flashback Friday

Every week I check the charts for this day in the past and post the top three songs. Then I pick out two more from the top ten as honorable mentions. This week, we are going back to the 1st week of October, 2013. All the songs have been posted before so this time we’ll see some comeback stages.


#3 Kara “Damaged Lady”
The group spent most of 2013 with activities in Japan before coming back to Korea in the fall. This is the lead single from their “Full Bloom” album, the last Korean release with Nicole and Jiyoung. The other members had signed a 2 year contract renewal around this time. I thought that I didn’t remember this era at all, but looking at the live stages I do remember some of the choreography. Here’s their comeback stage at Inkigayo, they all look so fab!

This week we are going back to the 2nd week of August, 2013. Most of the songs have been posted before so we’ll check out some stage performances. I liked pretty much everything this week, maybe you did too.



#3 Crayon Pop “Bar Bar Bar”
I’m 7 years late, but I just learned that this is the original music video. The one in the theme park, the big viral video that I’m most familiar with, was the choreography version and came out a week and a half after this one. This is so low budget omg! Apparently the choreo MV only cost about $350 USD to make, so how much do you think this one cost? Like $75 tops for the snacks? Anyways, it’s nice to get the helmet origin story lol.
