Posted on September 16, 2021 by Alison

Most Beautiful Songwriter On The Planet demonstrates the fine art of levitation, as the boys try not to freeze their bits off while filming outdoors in a Korean winter. If talents were apportioned fairly, Jinyoung would just be a pretty … Continue reading →

Siusin And Heechul

Posted on September 12, 2021 by Alison

Siusin is bored with X-Men, and is now fascinated with K-pop. Maybe it’s the faces, maybe it’s the voices. Maybe she’s just humouring me to ensure an ongoing supply of tuna. Who knows, but it does play merry hell with … Continue reading →

Ryeowook’s Hair and Shrieking At Siwon

Posted on September 8, 2021 by Alison

I now have Ryeowook’s lavender hair, and expect to acquire the matching angelic face and sublime voice imminently. Any. Minute. Now. At the moment, though, I’ve got a face for radio, and my vocal abilities can best be summed up … Continue reading →

Gaho, Ha Hyun-woo – Itaewon Class OST

Posted on September 4, 2021 by Alison

30 seconds of this song made me watch a 19 hour TV series. That’s a pretty good ROI, don’t you think? This first song is so damn inspiring, it could make you stride out into the street to lead a … Continue reading →

Taemin – Criminal

Posted on September 2, 2021 by Alison

Taemin’s back in the bondage closet, being dark, dangerous, and ever so enticing. In this MV Taemin becomes the poster boy for the B&D community, and possibly the S&M community as well. It does make you wonder what was going … Continue reading →

BIBI – Life Is A Bi***

Posted on September 1, 2021 by Alison

Glorious BIBI – Ulysses would have had himself lashed to a mast to hear this voice. But then, given her predilection for singing about uncomfortable topics, he might have ended up lashing her to something afterwards. And by uncomfortable topics, … Continue reading →

Something a bit different this week – I’ve got a review for a K-drama series going up on Heroic Cinema today, so I thought I’d dig up a couple of songs from the OST for your delectation. And just to … Continue reading →

B1A4 – What’s Happening?

Posted on August 24, 2021 by Alison

Wildly boppy hyper-pop with a hippy trippy MV that makes you wonder whether the whole art department were hallucinating – anything that opens with songwriter Jinyoung’s apparently disembodied head singing in a box trips my weird-o-meter. The song’s just a … Continue reading →

Shinee – Ring Ding Dong

Posted on August 20, 2021 by Alison

You know those trashy magazines with headlines like “ALIEN worms CRAWLED in my EAR and ATE my BRAIN!!!”? They’re talking about this song. From Jonghyun’s first powerfully belted “Baby”, through the hypnotic bridge of “Rocka rocka rocka rocka rocka rocka … Continue reading →

Taemin – Advice

Posted on August 18, 2021 by Alison

Not many artists would be brave enough to finish their music video posing like a paint-splashed Christ, but you can always count on Taemin to go the extra mile. The fact that he spends a portion of the MV wearing … Continue reading →
