Upcoming Hiatus & Announcement

I've been deciding for a few days now whether or not a hiatus would be appropriate for my current situation, but finally I've made the decision that it is. What's happening right now is that in a couple of days I am flying to South Korea and Seoul to stay there for two months. Yeah, it's pretty crazy and I still haven't quite wrapped my head around it (not to mention my lack of packing), but I'm sure it's going to an exciting experience and a memory for the rest of my life.

However I'm confident that it's going to be much harder to keep up with this blog and I don't want to write posts unless I can commit myself to it 100%. Additionally I want to enjoy my stay as much as I can and not feel like I have to write reviews and SNS Friday's and so on, as it may disrupt my visit and schedule. I hope you can all understand where I'm coming from, and I promise that once I'm back home this blog will be up and running again. In the meantime I've created a blog simply for my trip (in Swedish though, because of my friends and family), but feel free to check it out instead.

Goodbye for now, and I'll see you in two months!

Twice - "Like OOH-AHH", "Bad Girl Good Girl" And "So Hot" On Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook



I always love it when groups perform covers of their senior labelmates' songs, and here we have JYP's new superstar rookie group Twice performing both Miss A's and Wonder Girls' hit songs from back in the day. Although the original versions are hard to beat the talented ladies of Twice do an amazing job and manage to bring their special charms and personalities into the performances as well.

Rainbow Find Their Colors In "Whoo"

Not going to lie, I was pretty excited when I heard that Rainbow were going to make their comeback, and the fact that it was a said to be a title track similar to the legendary "A" made me even more thrilled. Although their latest comeback with "Black Swan" was alright (the mini album was brilliant, though) it wasn't by any means amazing and not at all justifiable to their skills and talents. With newest MV "Whoo" it does feel like Rainbow has gone back to their roots and their earlier days of glory, and above all they've finally truly embraced their group name as their colors shine brighter than ever.

Taemin Takes It To The Next Level With "Press Your Number"

I am a huge SHINee fan, no question about that, but maknae Taemin has never been a favorite member of mine even though I obviously care for him. I'm in awe of his dancing skills, performance talent and continuously growing vocal abilities, but he's not my bias member and I have never really gone crazy about him at any point. When he first made his solo debut back in 2014 I was intrigued more than over the moon, and the actual debut song and MV were positively received by me but I didn't shamelessly love them. To conclude; Taemin's a talented kid and he's always improving, but I've never been more than a casual fan of him alone (rather than him being with his group). Now however he has made another comeback as a solo artist, and contrary to last time I'm actually having some genuine fangirl feelings over it. "Press Your Number" isn't just a enormous step up for Taemin, but quite frankly for the entire company.
