[Review] Goodbyes & Sad Eyes – MOON BYUL (MAMAMOO) – KPOPREVIEWED
With MAMAMOO being inactive as a group, it has felt like it has been a while since we have heard from the group or the members. It probably doesn't help that I don't cover their solo comeback as soon as they occur. MOON BYUL recently made her return with her 3rd mini-album, Laundri, and the…

[Review] body – DAYOUNG (WJSN) – KPOPREVIEWED
Despite most WJSN members renewing their contracts with Starship Entertainment in 2023 (LUDA and DAWON left Starship, but remain as part of the group), there has been minimal music release from WJSN or the members themselves.
