[Review] DANCING ALONE – KiiiKiii – KPOPREVIEWED
Last week, KiiiKiii made their first ever comeback with the single DANCING ALONE. This followed their debut with I Do Me and the mini-album Uncut Gem. I have yet to review both, but I did review KiiiKiii's follow up single BTG. DANCING ALONE is KiiiKiii's answer to a summer single. I enjoyed the feel-good vibes…
[Album Review] IVE Empathy (3rd Mini Album) – IVE – KPOPREVIEWED
IVE has announced a comeback for later this month. So, it is nice timing to slide in an album review for their previous comeback from earlier in the year. IVE Empathy, their 3rd mini-album, was released in February, with REBEL HEART and ATTITUDE leading the mini-album. There are four other songs on the mini-album. The…
[Weekly KPOP Chart] Week 1 of August 2025 – KPOPREVIEWED
Hey there, welcome to the next Weekly KPOP Chart post. This post is for Week 1 of August 2025, which spans from 3 to 9 August 2025. Someone at work this week mentioned to me that Christmas is only four months away (in case you missed it - we are now in August). Quite a…
[Review] How Can I Do – EVNNE – KPOPREVIEWED
EVNNE made their comeback earlier this week with their 5th mini-album, Love Anecdote(s), and the lead single How Can I Do. This comeback follows their 4th mini-album release from earlier in the year, HOT MESS (yet to be reviewed), which was led by the single of the same name. How Can I Do mixes groovy…
[Review] As We Are – SEUNGMIN (Stray Kids) – KPOPREVIEWED
With news that Stray Kids will be making a comeback soon with their fourth studio album, KARMA, I thought I would start on the many reviews I have not posted for Stray Kids – the solo tracks from their Hop mixtape and the unit tracks from their Mixtape: Dominate album. Next up is SEUNGMIN’s solo…
[Album Review] WINTER HEPTAGON (13th Mini Album) – GOT7 – KPOPREVIEWED
It's amusing that the plan was to start reviewing 2025 albums in July, and all I ended up reviewing was just a single album in July. Well, hopefully that all changes, as this particular album review is for an album released this year (and I can keep the momentum going from here on out). The…
[Review] HALLUCINATION – I.N (Stray Kids) – KPOPREVIEWED
With news that Stray Kids will be making a comeback soon with their fourth studio album, KARMA, I thought I would start on the many reviews I have not posted for Stray Kids - the solo tracks from their Hop mixtape and the unit tracks from their Mixtape: Dominate album. First up is I.N's solo…
[Review] La La Love Me – VIVIZ – KPOPREVIEWED
Look, if I am being honest, I missed the news that VIVIZ would be making a comeback. It wasn't until I saw La La Love Me on Spotify two weeks ago that I realised that VIVIZ had made a comeback with the album, A Montage of (). It is their first studio-length album since their…
[Album Review] Band Aid (9th Mini Album) – DAY6 – KPOPREVIEWED
DAY6 made a comeback in September last year with their 9th mini-album, Band Aid, and the title track Melt Down. I am finally getting around to reviewing the 8-track mini-album, which is definitely on the lengthier side of the average mini-album. Band Aid is definitely a strong album release, with a few songs earning a…
[Review] Stylish – THE BOYZ – KPOPREVIEWED
Following VVV from earlier this year, THE BOYZ is back with their new single Stylish and their 10th mini-album [a;effect]. It is also their first official comeback without JU HAKYEON, who was removed from the group following controversy last month. Unfortunately, even after a few listens, I still find Stylish to give off the same…
[Review] Beautiful Strangers – TXT – KPOPREVIEWED
TXT returned yesterday with their 4th studio album, The Star Chapter: TOGETHER, and the lead single Beautiful Strangers. It follows their Love Language single from earlier this year, which is not included on this new album. TXT is also due to start their 4th world tour, Act: Tomorrow, from next month. Beautiful Strangers see the…
[Weekly KPOP Chart] Week 4 of July 2025 – KPOPREVIEWED
Welcome to the next edition of the Weekly KPOP Chart posts. This is for Week 4 of July 2025, which spans from 20 to 26 July 2025. Almost got to my goal of a post a day this past week. But I ended up falling asleep after work and dinner on Friday. But don't worry,…
[Review] SLAM DUNK – ZEROBASEONE – KPOPREVIEWED
It was confirmed recently that ZEROBASEONE would be making their comeback in September with their first studio-length album, titled NEVER SAY NEVER. However, while we have a bit more waiting to do until the album's release, ZEROBASEONE has released the single SLAM DUNK as a teaser for their upcoming album. Their last release was the mini-album…
[Album Review] J (1st Studio Album) – JAEHYUN (NCT) – KPOPREVIEWED
It has almost been a year since JAEHYUN made his solo debut with his 1st studio album, J. Leading the 8-track album is the title track Smoke, an English version of the title track, as well as the pre-release singles Roses and Dandelion. As usual, links to the full reviews and music videos for the…
[Review] Back Again – CHANYEOL (EXO) – KPOPREVIEWED
Look, when I said 'in a couple of days' regarding CHANYEOL's Back Again in the review for Black Out, I clearly meant 'in a couple of weeks'. Time is clearly not my friend. However, as promised, here is my review of Back Again, the single selected from CHANYEOL's debut mini-album, to follow the promotions of…
[Review] Outside – ENHYPEN – KPOPREVIEWED
Coming from ENHYPEN's Desire: Unleash mini-album last month is the follow-up promotional single Outside. It follows the promotions of their latest title track, Bad Desire (With or Without You). If I had my way, Outside would not have been my choice for follow-up promotions. It is my personal pick for the least liked track on…
[Double Review] FAMOUS + WICKED – ALLDAY PROJECT – KPOPREVIEWED
I haven't reviewed many rookies this year, but I hope to cover some of the rookies of the year as I post more reviews. One of the biggest rookies thus far this year is ALLDAY PROJECT, a five-member co-ed group (consisting of Annie, Tarzzan, Bailey, Woochan, and Youngseo) under The Black Label (the home for MEOVV, JEON SOMI,…

Welcome to the next edition of the Weekly KPOP Chart posts. This is for Week 3 of July 2025, which spans from 13 to 19 July 2025. It is going to be a quick one, as I have chores to get done today. One of them involves baking cookies (not a chore, but it is…
[Album Review] TELEPARTY (2nd Single Album) – BSS (SEVENTEEN) – KPOPREVIEWED
With the second half of 2025 upon us, it is about time that I make a start on the albums released this year. First up is SEVENTEEN's BSS and their 2nd single album, TELEPARTY. It was released in January 2025, alongside the title track CBZ (Prime Time). This album release follows their massive hit, Fighting,…
[Album Review] CRAZY (4th Mini Album) – LE SSERAFIM – KPOPREVIEWED
LE SSERAFIM's 4th mini-album CRAZY, which shares the same name as its title track, is the focus of this album review post. It was released at the end of August of last year, and CRAZY became a massive hit in my books since then. The rest of the mini-album was extremely strong (based on my…
[Review] THIS IS FOR – TWICE – KPOPREVIEWED
TWICE also made their comeback yesterday with the all-English single THIS IS FOR and their 4th Korean studio album of the same name. This follows on from December's Strategy (which featured Megan Thee Stallion) and mini-album of the same name. THIS IS FOR gets less than a lukewarm response from me. The sentiment was nice,…
[Weekly KPOP Chart] Week 2 of July 2025 – KPOPREVIEWED
Welcome to the next edition of the Weekly KPOP Chart posts. This is for Week 2 of July 2025, which spans from 6 to 12 July 2025. My illness ended up lingering into this week, and so I didn't get around to doing what I had set out to do for the blog. I am…
[Review] In Your Fantasy – ATEEZ – KPOPREVIEWED
Just a day after confirmation that ATEEZ will continue on as a group for another 7 years and 4 weeks since their 12th mini-album GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3 dropped (led by the single Lemon Drop), ATEEZ has made a quick comeback with the deluxe version of the mini-album GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3 'In Your Fantasy Edition'. It…
[Review] BTTF – NCT DREAM – KPOPREVIEWED
NCT DREAM's 5th studio album, Go Back To The Future, is due to drop on Monday. However, ahead of that release, NCT DREAM has unexpectedly dropped the music video for BTTF, the first of two title tracks for this comeback. This release is the group's first in 8 months, and follows on from their 4th…
[Review] X – ONEUS – KPOPREVIEWED
ONEUS made their comeback last week with their new mini-album 5x, which features the title track X. This mini-album is their 11th Korean mini-album to date since their debut in 2019. It is also the first release the group has made as four members, following SEOHO's enlistment in the military earlier this year. It also…
[Album Review] Dreamy Resonance (10th Mini Album) – OH MY GIRL – KPOPREVIEWED
OH MY GIRL returned in August last year with their 10th mini-album, Dreamy Resonance. Almost a year on, I am getting around to reviewing it. It features a total of 6 songs, including the title track Classifed. A reasonably strong mini-album, Dreamy Resonance was consistent and had some good side-tracks on it. I recommend you…
[Weekly KPOP Chart] Week 1 of July 2025 – KPOPREVIEWED
Welcome to the next edition of the Weekly KPOP Chart posts. This is for Week 1 of July 2025, which spans 29 June to 05 July 2025. Can you believe that this past week was the start of the second half of 2025? You may have noticed that my 'at a minimum' plan for the…
[Review] Touch – KARD – KPOPREVIEWED
KARD made their return with their 8th mini-album, DRIFT, and the title track Touch. It is their first release since their digital single DETOX in December 2024 (which I never got around to reviewing). It has been just over 2 days since Touch was released, and I have given it multiple listens. But I still…

These are the songs that topped the Weekly KPOP Charts segment between July 2024 and June 2025 (inclusive). These charts are decided by me. As such, the…
[Special] KPOPREVIEWED’s Personal Favourite Songs from the 1st Half of 2025 & more – KPOPREVIEWED
One of the first posts after 30 June each year is my ‘Personal Favourite’ post. To help round out the first half of the year, I post a list of my personal favourite songs from the 1st half of the year. I am following the approach I took over the last couple of years, by…
[Review] Dirty Work – aespa – KPOPREVIEWED
At the very end of last week, aespa made their comeback with the single Dirty Work. This new single was teased since early June, after which the group dropped a short performance video for the latest track filmed on an iPhone 16 Pro. This new track follows their massive hit Whiplash. Dirty Work gave off…

Welcome to the next edition of the Weekly KPOP Chart posts. This is for Week 4 of June 2025, which spans 22 to 28 June 2025. As I had hoped, I managed to post some new releases this week. But it wasn't the amount that I wanted to publish (I am aiming for a post…
[Album Review] CINEMA PARADISE (4th Mini-Album) – ZEROBASEONE – KPOPREVIEWED
Next album up for review is ZEROBASEONE's CINEMA PARADISE. This is the group's 4th mini-album, released in August 2024. It features a total of 7 songs, including the title track GOOD SO BAD and the Korean version of YURA YURA. Overall, I thought it was another consistently solid mini-album from ZEROBASEONE. ZEROBASEONE's last Korean release…
[Review] LIKE YOU BETTER – fromis_9 – KPOPREVIEWED
During their last comeback with Supersonic, fromis_9 had an 8-member lineup. However, their contracts with Pledis Entertainment expired at the end of last year, and three members (Lee Saerom, Lee Seoyeon, and Roh Jisun) chose not to continue with fromis_9. The remaining 5 members decided to continue as a fromis_9, signing on with ASND and…
[Review] Do The Dance – ILLIT – KPOPREVIEWED
Almost 10 days ago, ILLIT made their comeback with Do The Dance. I am now finally getting around to reviewing the lead single from their 3rd mini-album BOMB. This comeback follows the release of Cherish (My Love) and their second mini-album, I'll Like You, which I have not reviewed yet. Something I appreciate about Do The…
[Review] SET NET G0?! – CRAVITY – KPOPREVIEWED
Following a rebrand and an unexpected change in leadership, CRAVITY is back with their second studio-length album, Dare To Crave. It is led by the single SET NET G0?!. Their last comeback was Now or Never, from their 1st single album, Find the Orbit, released in December of last year. SET NET G0?! immediately stood…

Welcome to the next edition of the Weekly KPOP Chart posts. This is for Week 3 of June 2025, which spans 15 to 21 June 2025. You might have noticed that I never got around to posting anything yesterday. It was a big day, and that took up all of my energy, so I fell…

Welcome to the next edition of the Weekly KPOP Chart posts. This is for Week 2 of June 2025, which spans 8 to 14 June 2025. I took the week off from the blog to recuperate and get re-settled into my routine after being back at home for a while (I have been living in…
