I am back after my short Easter break, and now I turn my attention back to the blog. Before I can proceed with any further reviews, I want to knock out the usual Weekly KPOP Charts, so here we are today. As this is a late post, I am going to make this introduction short and get right to content, just so I can smash out one review later tonight. So without any further delays, here is the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 2nd Week of April 2022.

In addition to the three reviews I did write this week (EPEX’s Anthem of Teen Spirit, Kwon ONEW’s Glitch and Dreamcatcher’s MAISON), here are the other new releases from this past week:

They will becoming next weekend, as I will be writing them in the week (I have some time off from work due to the Easter long weekend). In the meanwhile, I will be writing album reviews for posting later today. Also got to write album reviews for next weekend, as well. Lot’s to do, so I better get cracking.

Throwback Corner

This week’s Throwback Song is actually a recent release from earlier this year. fromis_9’s DM has re-emerged onto my YouTube feed via the live performance the group gave on the it’s live live show, and it is hard to turn down such a good song/performance. That high note, as well! Top notch!

Non-Korean Release of the Week

We have just passed the end of March / early April mark of the calendar. How crazy fast is the year going? Welcome to another edition of the Weekly KPOP Charts, this time it is for the fifth week of March 2022 which spans that ‘end of March / early April’ period I just mentioned. It was a super big week for me, as I had to return to the office. That threw my week off, as it caused a bit of disruption on the review front (i.e. fatigue and a day of illness). I am hoping to get back into the groove a bit better this coming week, which will allow me to re-focus on the reviews. More song reviews, album reviews and I am hoping to make a start on a Queendom 2 recap & thoughts series. I am hoping to get Round 0 posted early this week, and Round 1 early next week. But we will see, pending how I settle into this week. Until then, here are the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 5th Week of March 2022.

New releases of the Week

In addition to NCT DREAM’s Glitch Mode, Oh My Girl’s Real Love, BAE173’s JAWS and PURPLE KISS’ memeM, here are the other new releases from this past week:

• FREEZE – Stray Kids
• Lonely St. – Stray Kids
• Salute – MAJORS
• With – Han Dong Geun
• Detox – Feeldog
• Make Your Dream – Haebin
• Mother – Heize
• Parallel Universe – NINE.i
• Riding – UV & Choi Siwon (Super Junior)
• Event Horizon – Younha
• Blow – Jackson Wang (GOT7)
• The Answer – DAYBREAK & LUCY
• Ascension – Kingdom
• Take You Down – Yugyeom (GOT7) ft. Coogie
• WILDSIDE – Red Velvet

Throwback Corner

I managed to listen to more songs than what is on the Weekly KPOP Charts this week. And so, there is a bit of a selection of songs that I can choose this week’s Throwback Song from. My pick is Lovelyz’s Wag-Zak, which was released back in 2018. I still find it a massive disappointment that Lovelyz disbanded, though it is great that we are slowly seeing the members re-appear.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is Mark Tuan’s Lonely, which placed in fourth position for this past week. This release will be covered in a future International Song Review segment (once I figure out a way to deal with the backlog).

The Charts

Congratulations to Oh My Girl for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 5th Week of March 2022 with their latest single, Real Love. For more of the charts, keep on reading!

Today’s introduction is going to be a quick one, as I flagged yesterday I had two album reviews to right. And I haven’t really started on those yet, so I better get a move on. So without any further delays, here is the next instalment in the Weekly KPOP Charts post.

What a week it has a been for the 3rd Week of March this year. It was loaded with comeback after comeback. Hopefully, we all walked away with a few good songs to add to our playlists! Unfortunately, I had a big going on for work this week as well, so I was unable to cover all the major releases of the week. Hence, I have cleared album reviews from this weekend, so the focus today will be on song reviews (as was yesterday). Good news is that all that work related stuff is out of the way (I think – it was all a blur), so I should be able to push through the busy week ahead and week after as well. But before we can get ahead, it is time for the Weekly KPOP Charts post for the past week.

New releases of the Week

As flagged already, a few song reviews for some tracks released during this past week are still coming your way, joining (G)I-DLE’s TOMBOY, Brave Girls’ Thank You, Kang Seung Yoon’s BORN TO LOVE YOU, Kihyun’s VOYAGER, Moonbin & Sanha’s WHO and NU’EST’s Again. Here are the other songs that were released this past week:

• Too Bad – WEi

Throwback Corner

This week’s song to be featured in the Throwback Corner is (G)I-DLE’s DUMDi DUMDi, one of the group’s releases from 2020. This was consistent recommendation alongside LATATA this week, thanks to (G)I-DLE’s comeback! Definitely nice to revisit a fun song!

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is Ailee’s Murder on the Dance Floor, which ranked in the 10th position this past week. Murder on The Dance Floor is the title track off Ailee’s first full-English album, I’m Lovin’ Amy, which dropped on 7 March 2022.

Before I get to the next album review, it is time for another Weekly KPOP Chart post. This one is for the week that just past – the 1st Week of March 2022. There were some big releases during the week. But apart from those, it was a fairly quiet start to the busy month ahead. It appears that next week will also be a quiet week, before KPOP ramps everything up for the latter half of March. But as always, there is a still a bit more to cover in the meantime.

This week’s song to be featured in the Throwback Corner is one I probably have already featured in the corner (I believe). Brown Eyed Girl’s Sixth Sense made a reappearance on my radar. And per usual, I cannot pass the opportunity to listen to song again, given that it is one of my favourites of all time.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is JAMIE’s Pity Party, which ranked in the 3rd position this past week. Check it out below!

The Charts

Congratulations to Cherry Bullet for topping my Weekly KPOP Chart with their comeback single, Love In Space. For more of the charts from the last week, keep on reading!

It is Sunday. And per usual, I reserve part of my Sunday for most weeks to put together the Weekly KPOP Charts before pushing on with album reviews (or any reviews I had planned to write up). Like last week, I want to make this introduction a fairly quick one, so I can move onto those album reviews I had planned to write up (and complete some other errands). So without any more delays, let’s get to to the Weekly KPOP Chart post for the final week of February 2021.

New releases of the Week

In addition to BTOB’s The Song, NMIXX’s O.O and STAYC’s RUN2U, we also saw the following releases drop this past week:

• JUST BREATHE – SKY-HI ft. 3RACHA (STRAY KIDS)
• Going Bus Home – Haebin
• Reason – Jeong Yu Jin
• Always – ENHYPEN
• Dawn to Dusk – Lay Zhang (EXO) & 24kGoldn
• GingaMingaYo (the strange world) – Billlie
• Dance With God – CRAXY
• Sharp Objects – Sorn
• LOOK – N.O.M
• EASIER – Amber Liu ft. Jackson Wang (GOT7)
• IDK – Tyrone Laurent ft. Min (Miss A)
• Fade Away – Solji (EXID)

Throwback Corner

2NE1 was on my mind this week, and while listening to a playlist of 2NE1 songs, Do You Love Me stuck out at me. I remember people not liking the song as much, but I was pretty much a fan of the track since its release, so it was nice to ‘rediscover’ the song. I admit it isn’t their most famous track, but it isn’t as bad as some make it out to be!

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is U-KNOW YUNHO’s KIMI WA SAKI E IKU, which translates to You Go Ahead. It was released early February and is featured on Yunho’s second Japanese mini-album that shares the same name. Check it out below!

The Charts

Congratulations to TREASURE for rising to the top spot of KPOPREVIEWED’s Weekly KPOP Chart with their long awaited comeback, JIKJIN. For more of the charts from the last week, keep on reading!

Another week has passed, so here is the Week KPOP Charts for the week that had just passed – the 3rd Week of February 2022. Per usual, I am surprised at how fast time is flying by already. Blink again and we will be at the end of the month. Anyhow, I am going to make this introduction a quick one this week, as I still got to write up two album reviews (the last of the 2021 albums, before I can make a start on that ever-growing list of 2022 albums).

New releases of the Week

On top of this week’s new releases that did get a review (i.e. Taeyeon’s INVU, APINK’s Dilemma, TREASURE’s JIKJIN and WONHO’s EYE ON YOU), we also saw the following releases drop:

• Gray So Gray – Epik High ft. Younha
• MOODY BLUES – LXX
• Heart Rider – Rocking Doll
• don’t forget me – Kim Jeong Uk
• Lovender – Han Seungyun
• Satellite – Bae Suzy

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song belongs to WJSN and is actually their single from last year, Unnatural. I am not sure if a song released less than a year ago can be considered a throwback song. But it was the song that I was listening to over the last few weeks that didn’t make the cut for this segment yet, so here it is!

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is T1419’s Daydreamer, which officially dropped at the end of last month. As far as I am concerned, there was no music video for this release (and hence it won’t be getting a review), but I did list it as a single and so deemed it eligible for the Weekly KPOP Charts. Anyhow, check it out below!

The Charts

Congratulations to APINK for rising to the top spot of KPOPREVIEWED’s Weekly KPOP Chart with their long awaited newest single, Dilemma. For more of the charts from the last week, keep on reading!

As flagged in last week’s Weekly KPOP Chart post, the week that just past ended up being a slightly busier week than the one that preceded it! And the next week is looking to be busier with some big name acts returning, including APINK, TREASURE, Taeyeon (SNSD) WONHO and former MISS A member Suzy confirmed for releases this week. And as usual, before I can proceed with any review in the new week, here is the Weekly KPOP Chart for this past week – 2nd Week of February 2022.

New releases of the Week

On top of this week’s new releases that did get a review (i.e. WONPIL’s Voiceless, VIVIZ’s BOP BOP!, Ha Sung Woon’s Can’t Live Without You and Moonbin & Sanha’s Ghost Town), we also saw the following releases drop:

• Delight – Rolling Quartz
• Love Message – Parc Jae Jung
• WINNER – Ravi (VIXX) ft. ASH ISLAND
• KIMIWA SAKIE IKU – Yunho (TVXQ)
• Need You (Outro) – G.Soul
• Ghost Town – Moonbin & Sanha (ASTRO)

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback corner song is Girl Next Door’s Deep Blue Eyes, a project single from 2017 from the TV show, Idol Drama Operation Team. The project single features Mamamoo’s Moonbyul, Red Velvet’s Seulgi, Nature’s Kim So Hee, former Sonamoo member D.ana, Oh My Girl’s YooA, former Lovelyz member Sujeong and now-solo artist Jeon Somi.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is Jeon Somi’s all-English side track single, Anymore, from her first studio album, XOXO. A music video was released for this single at the end of last year.

The week that has just passed was a very quiet week in the KPOP industry due to Lunar New Year holidays. With that major holiday out of the way now, next week is shaping to be a a slightly busier week with comebacks confirmed already! But as usual, I need to post this Weekly KPOP Chart segment for the past week before we can progress onto the new week.

Despite it being a quiet week, I managed to write a few reviews for some releases over the last two months that I should have reviewed when they were first released. I am hoping the few I did write reviews for helped make a dent in the backlog, but I haven’t checked to be sure. But make sure you check out those reviews on my home page when you have the time!

New releases of the Week

In addition to Mark (from NCT)’s Child, here are the other releases of the week:

• Don’t Stop – ATEEZ
• Stuck On You – Changjo (Teen Top) ft. Xbf
• Pity Party – Jamie
• Will Be Fine – Kisu

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback corner song was actually featured a few week’s back in this segment. It is Dream Catcher’s Scream, which I have been revisiting constantly in the weeks following its inclusion in this corner of the blog.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is WOOZI’s mixtape single, Ruby, which was released early January. I am glad that I finally am able to feature this song in this corner since the change in the rules (i.e. highest rank song on the album). It is a good one! More on Ruby in the future!
