Welcome back to the Weekly KPOP Charts, this time for the 2nd Week of December 2023. There is a bit to update you on down below, as this will be one of the final posts of the year from me that I will be writing and posting in ‘real-time’. I will be taking a break from the blog to celebrate Christmas and the New Year. As such, I have developed a little plan for the remainder of 2023. I will be back online from 2 January 2024 (totally wrote 2023 out of habit).

So, as this will be the final ‘personal’ post of the year – I do wish you all a Happy Holiday season. If you celebrate Christmas – Merry Christmas and/or break. If you don’t, I wish you a splendid few days with whatever you will be getting up to. And collectively, I wish you all a happy and joyous new year.

Plan for the rest of 2023

Rest assured, the blog will continue to be active whilst I am on break. Song and album reviews will continue to be posted on the blog over the holiday break – I have been trying to draft up a few to schedule ahead of time.

The final review ‘new release’ review of the year will be WOODZ’s AMNESIA (due for release tomorrow). I will see if I have time to review it tomorrow, otherwise the review will be posted Tuesday (at the very latest). Scheduled reviews will begin the day after AMNESIA‘s review, though I have already been tapping into that stockpile during the last week.

Weekly KPOP Charts for the 3rd and 4th Weeks of December will be combined and posted upon my return on 2 January 2023, and you can expect song reviews (beginning with the new releases that I missed while on break) from 3 January 2023.

Throwback Song of the Week

This week’s throwback song is NCT U’s Baby Don’t Stop, which emerged as part of my review for Call D – a single off NCT’s Golden Age album (which was released a few months back). A single that I have been drafting a review for. A review to be released another day.

Non-Korean song of the week

LE SSERAFIM’s Perfect Night is this week’s top Non-Korean song of the week. It ranks in the 7th position this week.
