Welcome back to another Weekly KPOP Chart post – this time for the 2nd Week of June 2023. Again, a quick one today, as I have need some time to draft up more posts while I am on a break in a weeks time (more on this below). I am unsure if I can post anything more today, but I will try to see if I can sneak in another review of some sort. Otherwise, I will see you during the week for more song reviews.
Off the blog for a week + Future plans upon my return
As alluded to above, I will be taking a short break from the blog – mainly to recoup my brain cells and destress from a couple of stressful weeks. As a result, some things will be shifted around. The first is that I will not be publishing any reviews for new releases that come out between 23 June to 3 July. I will revisit these new releases (which includes SHINee’s long-awaited comeback and U-KISS’ grand return, amongst others) once I am back on board on 4 July. But don’t worry, I will be pre-scheduling song and album reviews for that period, so there will be some action still happening on the blog.
For the Weekly KPOP Charts posts for the 3rd and 4th Weeks of June 2023 will be posted on 3 July (or maybe 4 July, depending on how tired I am on the 3rd).
Upon my return, I will post some annual posts that I usually post in July, such as My Top 10 Songs of 2023 (thus far) and a recap of the Weekly KPOP Charts between July 2022 to June 2023. I also intend to finally make some special posts as well – such as episode recaps for Queendom Puzzle, and song reviews for the original releases from PEAK TIME, FANTASY BOYS and Boys Planet.

Throwback Corner
As it is Summer in Korea and I am freezing where I live, I thought to relive some Summer KPOP tracks. Naturally, this turned my attention to Red Velvet’s Red Flavor, which will be feature in this segment of the Weekly KPOP Charts on a yearly basis (as long as I continue to do these). It was definitely listed last year in this corner of the post!
Non-Korean Release of the Week
This week’s non-Korean release of the week is KANG DANIEL’s all-English pre-release single, Wasteland, from his upcoming mini-album Realiez (which is to be released tomorrow). Wasteland ranks in the 27th position this week.
The Charts
Congratulations to Stray Kids for another week in the top spot on KPOPREVIEWED’s Weekly KPOP Chart with their latest single, S-Class. For more of the charts, keep on scrolling down.
