Music Show Wins:: Week of 6/11 - 6/17

Image
   I fully count Seventeen TV (AKA the green prison) as a survival show sort of, which makes every win this week from a group that was in a survival show. Exciting? Absolutely. Two first wins for songs this week as well, so that's super exciting as well. Lots to celebrate, you know. For the After School Club re-run as they're still on hiatus, it's 2014 MBLAQ being all manly, with Eric and Kevin as the hosts. I really enjoyed getting to know the group a little bit considering I've done both a BBS post as well as a GH post on them. Show Champion: Seventeen "Thunder" MCountdown: Enhypen "Bad Desire (With or Without You)" Music Bank: Seventeen "Thunder" Show! Music Core: Enhypen  "Bad Desire (With or Without You)" Inkigayo: Enhypen  "Bad Desire (With or Without You)" ASC Performance: 20140401 MBLAQ "Be A Man" The Show: izna "Beep"

Song Review:: Enhypen: DESIRE : UNLEASH- Bad Desire (With or Without You)

Image
Release date: 2025 June 5 Album tracklist: Flashover, Bad Desire (With or Without You) , Outside, Loose (Korean Ver.), Helium, Too Close, Bad Desire (With or Without You), Loose Album runtime: 21  minutes  Eight songs. Twenty-one minutes. I was actually tentatively hoping that HYBE was loosening the reins on the abysmal runtimes they've been making their groups and artists do, but this one clearly dashed those hopes. I doubt this will be the last time I comment on the runtime, but, for now, I do generally like Enhypen's sound and I do look forward to seeing what they have for us each time. I am a touch concerned about their possibly being overworked, but I think things have settled down a little on that front? Doubtful because once groups start getting overworked, it's difficult to get the companies to slow it down. But, the standard remains TS Entertainment. As long as the company is not like them, there's hope. This very much sounds like an Enhypen song. That bass is ...

Song Review:: Enhypen: ROMANCE UNTOLD: -daydream- - No Doubt

Image
  Release date: 2024 November 11 Album tracklist:   Daydream, No Doubt , Moonstruck, XO (Only If You Say Yes) , Your Eyes Only, Hundred Broken Hearts, Brought the Heat Back , Paranormal, Royalty, Highway 1009 , XO (Only If You Say Yes) (English Ver.) Feat. JVKE Album runtime: 31 minutes  Formatting the title for this review was not my favorite thing. I like the album subtitle, but that throws off my standard practice for the titles. Also, I'm very worried about the group being overworked by the company (especially in light of the HYBE leak), because the turnaround time between their last album and their tour and this album and their next tour is not a lot of time, especially if they need to rest and recover between. If they're physically, emotionally, and mentally fine, then I can reallocate some of the worry I've shifted over to the members, but I'll only be able to do that once they get through promotions without anyone collapsing or going to the hospital for any reas...

Halloween Spookening: 2024 Edition

Image
 I love Halloween. It's been my favorite holiday for literally my entire life. I have loved Halloween longer than Sangyeon of The Boyz has been alive, barely because my first Halloween was a couple of days before he was born, but according to my mother, even at the age of not-quite one years old, I have loved it. She dressed me up as a San Francisco 49ers cheerleader. I have pictures.  One of the most important things, then, is finding music that matches the Month of Spookening and horror. I love spooky movies. I love spooky books. I love spooky video games (even though I am a wuss of the nth degree and prefer to watch other people play them). And I love spooky music. THUS, this post is simply going to be a compilation of some of the songs I've added to my Halloween K-Pop playlist. If I were to add all of the songs in there, this post would be ages  long. So I'm only going to add as many as I feel like it. I don't know how long this is going to be. But there will be vib...
