[Review] 96ers – Hoshi x Woozi (SEVENTEEN) – KPOPREVIEWED
A new SEVENTEEN unit is one of the many comebacks that kicked off this week. HOSHI and WOOZI join forces in the new single 96ers (동갑내기). This is the third official unit from SEVENTEEN, the first being BSS, who recently returned with CBZ (Prime Time), and JxW (Jeonghan x Wonwoo). If I had to judge…
[Review] Air – YEJI (ITZY) – KPOPREVIEWED

[Review] Flying Kiss – NCT DREAM – KPOPREVIEWED
I am bouncing around time at the moment. Reviews for songs last week, newer releases from this week, and now 2024 releases I have yet to review.

[Review] REBEL HEART – IVE – KPOPREVIEWED
Apologies for the lack of reviews this week. Jet lag caught up with me and work got me tired. One of the releases that came out while I was on vacation was IVE's single REBEL HEART. It serves as one of the title tracks for their (at the time) upcoming 3rd mini-album IVE Empathy. As…
