Korea Grand Music Awards 2025: Day 1

 Given my disposition, I'm sure you're already expecting me to ramble a bit here at the beginning to introduce everything and then get out of the way so you can get to what you and I both know is what you're interested in. I'm not going to. Instead, my thoughts will go down at the bottom, which you can read at your leisure after watching all the performances and then seeing the winners. See you then! performances ALLDAY PROJECT ATEEZ (HALA HALA (Hearts Awakened, Live Alive + Wonderland + The Real + BOUNCY (K-HOT CHILLI PEPPERS) + Phantom + In Your Fantasy ) BOYNEXTDOOR ( IF I SAY, I LOVE YOU + I FEEL GOOD + Hollywood Action ) THE BOYZ ( Stylish + You and I) CRAVITY (SWISH + Lemonade Fever ) FIFTY FIFTY (Pookie + Eeny Meeny Miny Moe ) INI (DOMINANCE (Korean Ver.))

October 2025 Wrap-Up: A New Nightmare

Image
 What is up! I completely spaced out needing to do this, and time both has no meaning and is soup. Little nerdy D&D reference there for you. Warm you up for the fun times. So, first up, as always, we have the lovely debuts. I covered none of them, and I feel bad about that. So I'll probably snag one or two and do a later review for them. Still, even without that, I'm still going to hand them over to you lovely readers so that you can take a listen and decide if you like any of them. BE:MIN , the subunit of the boy group XEED, now called XD. LUVITA , virtual girl group made up of V-Tuber. Global girl group NWH:I . Girl group ARVVY (who debuted with everyone over twenty, by the way). Girl group E11iVYN (which is only a four-member group, and you pronounce that as "eleven"). &TEAM had their Korean debut (with three accompanying music show wins, and now they have their very own younger brother group, aoen who is going to get a review from me in a couple of days...

Song Review:: Lee Chanwon: 찬란(燦爛)- 오늘은 왠지 (Maybe Today)

Image
Release date: 2025 October 20 Album tracklist: 오늘은 왠지 , 낙엽처럼 떨어진 너와 나, 말했잖아, 첫사랑, 엄마의 봄날, 시월의 시, 나의 오랜 여행,나를 떠나지 마요, 락앤롤 별, 오늘은 왠지 (Inst.), 낙엽처럼 떨어진 너와 나 (Inst.) Album runtime: 27 minutes   Congrats on the win! I wasn’t expecting this only because I know nothing about you, sir. And also, happy birthday to you, considering your birthday was a couple of days before this. So, for those of you who, like me, didn’t know who this fellow was, he’s a trot singer, which is something that instantly piques my interest because I’ve decided I really like trot music. He’s three weeks older than Woozi. He debuted as a soloist in 2021. He’s got a fandom color, which I love. And I need everyone to look up his light stick because that’s one of the coolest ones I’ve seen yet. That’s awesome. And this song got him his fifth music show win. For the record, there’s enough time for a whole extra song to be included and still have an average of more than three minutes. A harmonica and strings. I don’t thi...

Music Show Wins:: Week of 10/29 - 11/04

  This is what happens when I get behind. Groups and soloists I don't expect to get wins get wins and then I have to hurry up with those reviews. Congrats and happy birthday to Lee Chanwon, though! I have no idea who this person is and I'll learn when I do that review (the answer is a trot singer and y'all should take a listen to that voice of his. Wow. I would live in his voice specifically but the song almost made me cry because of how much I love it.) (Also his light stick is one of the cooler ones out there). And congrats to &TEAM for their first music show win! On The Show ! Imagine that!  I'm not bitter at all about that cancelation! For the re-run of After School Club , I decided to hop back to 2019 and share episode 375, featuring "the group equipped with powerful yet soft ubersexual charms". No, no. I'm not kidding. That's the title of the episode, word-for-word quoted. And I picked this group because their contracts with their company end...
