Throwback Song of the Week

Each week, I feature the highest ranking non-Korean song by a Korean artist in this part of the Weekly KPOP Charts. For the 2nd Week of August 2023, that song is JUN’s PSYCHO.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 1st Week of August 2023

It is a brand new month! Welcome back to the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 1st Week Of August 2023. It has been a busy week for me, with a lot of work and stuff to do. As a result, that song review which I had intended to post later on during the week did not go up. But I will make sure it will be going up later this week. An album review is also on its way today. But as usual, here is the Weekly KPOP Chart.

Recap of the past week

This past week has been quite busy and I managed to post:

Joining all those new releases this week as new releases are the following songs:

Throwback Song of the Week

This week’s throwback song is a Brown Eyed Girls’ song (one of my favourite KPOP artists all-time). I came across their name somewhere during the week (can’t remember where or the circumstances).

Non-Korean Song of the Week

Each week, I feature the highest ranking non-Korean song by a Korean artist in this part of the Weekly KPOP Charts. For the 1st Week of August 2023, that song is TXT and Jonas Brother’s collaboration single, Do It Like This.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 2nd Week of July 2023

Welcome back to the 2nd Weekly KPOP Chart for the second half of 2023. Hope you are doing well! It is sunny where I am live, so I might venture out for some fresh air and a walk after posting this blog. But I am planning another one or two album reviews for later tonight, so keep your eye out for these. But for now, here is the Weekly KPOP Post for the 2nd Week of July 2023.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 1st Week of July 2023

Welcome back to the 1st Weekly KPOP Chart for the second half of 2023. Crazy indeed at how fast the year is going by! I am planning one of two album reviews for later tonight, so keep your eye out for these. In the meanwhile, I have a lot to do as it is chore day in my residence. So I better get cracking if I want to get those album reviews out for you! Here is the Weekly KPOP Post for the 1st Week of July 2023.

Recap of the past week

This part of the Weekly KPOP Chart will be slightly altered to be easier to prepare. More lists, and less text, which means you will get to the charts much quicker (I hope!). This past week, I posted reviews for:

Joining the new release of HWEEK are the following songs:

  • Sea&U&I – polar
  • Twenty – Swan (PURPLE KISS)
  • All The Way Up – Thunder
  • Roller Coaster – NMIXX
  • Close The Shutter – Super Junior L.S.S
  • Someday – BOL4 ft. Ha Hyunsang
  • Shhh – KISS OF LIFE

  • Super Shy – NewJeans
  • New Jeans – NewJeans
  • Youtiful – Stray Kids
  • Do It Like That – TXT ft. Jonas Brothers
  • Psycho – JUN (SVT)
  • BET ON ME – ITZY

Throwback Song of the Week

U-KISS made their return the previous week with The Wonderful Escape to celebrate their 15th anniversary, and I was checking out all the new content they have been releasing as part of promotions for this comeback. Neverland popped up on their Killing Voice and Killing Dance videos (by DINGO Music), which I have picked as this week’s throwback song!

Non-Korean Song of the Week

Each week, I feature the highest ranking non-Korean song by a Korean artist in this part of the Weekly KPOP Charts. For the 1st Week of July 2023, that song is TWICE’s Hare Hare.

The Charts

Congratulations to KIM SUNG KYU for rising to the top spot on this week’s KPOPREVIEWED’s Weekly KPOP Chart with his latest single Small Talk. I have yet to review Small Talk, but I can confirm that I intend to write a review for Small Talk later this week.

FYI – There were a few big jumps on the charts this past week. This is because I have been trying to listen to all the new releases from the previous week in which I was away from the blog. They didn’t get a chance to rank on last week’s Weekly KPOP Charts, and so they rose straight from the bottom to the top 30, leading to the big jumps in position. As for more of the charts, keep on scrolling down.

[Special] Number 1 Songs from July 2022 to June 2023

As we have already wrapped up another July to June period, here is a recap of a full year’s worth of Weekly KPOP Charts winners! These are the song that topped the Weekly KPOP Charts segment between July 2021 and June 2022 (inclusive). As a quick recap, I personally decide on these charts. Songs that I prefer rank higher as I tend to gravitate towards them more. You will see the same artists return to the top of the charts throughout the year. But I also tend to surprise myself when an unexpected artist top of the charts for a particular week. So let’s have this walk down memory lane and see who topped the Weekly KPOP Charts between July 2021 and June 2022.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 3rd Week of June 2023

I am back from my break! Now back to the drafting and writing of new posts for the blog! But first, as mentioned previously during the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 2nd Week of June 2023, the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 3rd and 4th Weeks of June 2023.

Unfortunately, I have misjudged the time it takes me to make prepare and draft up one of these posts. As such, I will only be posting the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 3rd Week of June 2023. Instead, you will see the 4th Week of June 2023 post tomorrow before I proceed back to standard transmission of reviews (which I may get to tomorrow or Wednesday). But without any more delay, here is the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 3rd Week of June 2023.

The Charts

Congratulations to The New Six (TNX) for rising to the top spot on KPOPREVIEWED’s Weekly KPOP Chart for the very first time with their latest single Kick It 4 Now. For more of the charts, keep on scrolling down.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 2nd Week of June 2023

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.

Recap & New releases of the Week

This week saw song reviews for EXO’s pre-release single Let Me In and ATEEZ’s comeback single BOUNCY (K-HOT CHILLI PEPPERS). I also post reviews for several solo debuts which I had not yet reviewed including MINHYUN’s Hidden Sides, JOOHONEY’s FREEDOM and MIJOO’s Movie Star. On the album review front, I also focused on GOT7’s JINYOUNG and his solo debut mini-album, Chapter 0: WITH.

Other releases from the week includes:

  • Lime & Lemon – TVXQ!
  • Remember – Ju Wontaek
  • Like a Movie – 2Z
  • R.U.N – Suzy
  • Designer – VAV
  • Ready To Move – REN
  • WALEEN – Villain
  • Firework – &TEAM
  • Contrail – Baek Yebin
  • I Need Love – DKB
  • Epilogue – Jung Seung Hwan
  • My Soles Worn Out – Jooyoung
  • Wild Heart – LUN8
  • Voyager – LUN8
  • Marshmallow – MISAMO (TWICE)
  • Walk & Shine – QI.X
  • DLC – Stray Kids
  • FNF – Stray Kids

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.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 4th Week of May 2023

Welcome back to this past week’s edition of the Weekly KPOP Chart – for the dates 21 May to 27th May 2023. Another quick introduction today. No additional reviews will be published today (as it is quite late into the evening where I am). Instead, I will be taking it easy tonight (as I got the day off tomorrow) to draft some reviews to publish during the week and beyond (I do have another holiday coming up, and I don’t want to leave you without reviews during that week). But for now, here is the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 4th Week of May 2023.

Recap & New releases of the Week

This week, I focused only on new releases, with reviews for ENHYPEN’s BITE ME, KARD’s ICKY and Dreamcatcher’s BONVOYAGE. On the album review front, I posted album reviews for MOONBIN & SANHA’s Incense and SF9’s The Piece OF9.

Other releases from the week includes:

  • FREEDOM – Joohoney (MONSTA X)

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song this week is IU’s Celebrity. I know this is a more recent release from IU, being one of the singles released in 2021 from the soloist. But as this is outside of the current Weekly KPOP Chart system, it is featured here instead.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

This week’s non-Korean release of the week is Yesung’s C.h.a.o.s.m.y.th, his pre-release solo single from his newly released first Japanese mini-album. It ranks in the 19th position this week.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 3rd Week of May 2023

Welcome back to another Weekly KPOP Chart post. This particular post is for the 3rd Week of May 2023, which spans the dates of 14 to 20 May 2023. I am going to make this introductory super short as I got some errands to run, but you can expect another album review later tonight. But until then, here is the Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 3rd Week of May 2023.

Recap & New releases of the Week

A few more reviews were published this week. I started off with reviews for some releases from previous weeks that I had missed, including xiker’s TRICKY HOUSE and ONEUS’ ERASE ME. Then I moved onto some of the newer releases of this week – (G)I-DLE’s Queencard and VERVERY’s Crazy Like That.

On the album review front, I posted album reviews for RM’s Indigo and MONSTA X’s REASON.

Other releases from the week includes:

  • For You – YEL
  • Before The Petals Fall – Chen (EXO)
  • ISLAND – The Wind
  • Naughty – DeVita
  • Movie Star – Lee Mijoo
  • WATERFALL – YOUNITE
  • Next To Me – ATBO
  • MEA ROSA – Hoon (U-KISS)
  • That Karma – BLACKSWAN
  • Once in a BLUE MOON – N.Flying
  • Midnight Sky – XODIAC
  • Dear.H – Xdinary Heroes

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song comes from LABOUM, a group whom I miss quite a bit. Firework is the song that resurfaced the group for me this week, so it is my pick for the Throwback Corner.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

This week’s non-Korean release of the week is ATEEZ’s Limitless. It ranks in the 14th position this week.

The Charts

Congratulations to (G)I-DLE’s Queencard for being the number 1 song for the 3rd Week of May 2023. For more of the charts, keep on scrolling down.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 2nd Week of May 2023

The album review will be posted later today. So until then, here is my Weekly KPOP Chart for the 2nd Week of May 2023.

[Album Review] SKZ-Replay (3rd Compilation Album) – Stray Kids (Part. 3)

What do you mean today isn’t Friday? Apologies for the delay in posting the third and final part of the SKZ-Replay album review. I may or may not have slept when I should have been drafting this post. Anyhow, as started earlier this week, I began reviewing the SKZ-Replay compilation album. The album is split into two sides. The first side, known as the A-Side of the album, features the lead single FAM, a single previously unofficially released through a special YouTube video and 8 solo songs from each Stray Kids member. The second part of the album is known as the B-Side. And it consists of 15 songs from the SKZ-RECORD or SKZ-PLAYER web-series from a few years back. These songs have never been released digitally until the release of this album.

For the purposes of this album review, I have now posted the album review in three parts – Part 1 focused on the A-Side. Part 2 will focus on the first half of the B-Side, and Part 3 (this post) will focus on the second half of the B-Side. Also, there was no teaser images for this compilation album. So I have gone through and selected images from past promotions to serve as the featured and teaser images for the album review.

SKZ-Replay Album Cover

8. Alien (외계인) (Han Solo)Alien begins the second half of the B-Side. Han really pushes his vocals in the choruses, as if he wants to be heard. The song speaks about being lonely, like an alien who dropped down onto Earth (taken from Soompi). Wanting to be heard definitely makes sense in the context of the song. This stylistic choice, to me, feels impactful. His rapping isn’t as powerful in this song, as opposed to his other solo tracks on this album. I felt it was a nice choice to tone down the delivery, given the chorus. Otherwise, it easily could have been an overwhelming and full-on track. However, Han still manages to infuse emotions into Alien whilst rapping. I also enjoyed the chilled nature of the instrumental. (8/10)

9. Because (좋으니까) (Changbin & Felix) – Released on White Day in 2021, both Changbin and Felix adopt more of singing delivery to their rapping for Because, presumably for a softer and sweeter approach for the romantic day. However, this created more of a neutral atmosphere, and this ended up boring me. It doesn’t help that the instrumentation was pretty much bland, as well. The pair is more well known for their intensity and rapping, and if Because demonstrated anything, that is when they are at their best. (5/10)

10. Piece of a Puzzle (조각) (Changbin & Seungmin) – Unlike the preceding song, Changbin’s rapping is more appreciated. He isn’t as powerful like how he is usually heard, but his fast delivery in the bridge was a neat return to form. Plus, his other parts were likeable. Seungmin himself sounds charming throughout the song and does a great job of delivering the melodies of Piece of a Puzzle to us. Unfortunately, the combination of hooks and the instrumental just made the song feel overly repetitive, and this ultimately ended up being a lukewarm track. (6.5/10)

11. Wish You Back (Han Solo) – Han definitely dominates the B-side with his fourth (out of five) solo tracks. And I do think we are in a bit of a rut with another neutral track, Wish You Back. We do get some strong rapping from Han and the bass does help make the track a bit livelier. But the rest of the song was just plain (i.e. the autotuned vocals) and doesn’t live up to the other solo tracks he present us on this album. (7/10)

12. HaPpY (Han Solo) – Wishing a person, who is no longer by your side, happiness is the message behind the track HaPpY. Again, this is another dry track for me. The mid-tempo nature of the song was probably the biggest driver of this. The instrumental was pretty repetitive, as well. However, I did like the last moment’s push Han gives just prior to the song ending. (6/10)

13. Up All Night (Bangchan, Changbin, Felix & Seungmin)Up All Night features the most members, four in total. Latin influences feature in the instrumentation and there is a playful energy to the song that makes it a fun listen. Felix kicks off the song with a very seductive approach. Bangchan brings personality to his vocals, while Seungmin’s vocals had a nice easygoing vibe. Changbin was the weakest member in the song in my opinion, with the higher pitch feeling quite unnatural. The bridge with the deeper notes/bass was my favourite bit in the entire song. (7.5/10)

14. Drive (Bangchan & Lee Know)Drive is the other song that I mentioned in Thursday’s half of the B-Side review that is more recognisable than most other tracks on the album. The undeniable yet iconic sexy lyrics that I don’t think we know who of the pair wrote, the rhythmic and atmospheric hip-hop instrumentation, and the mature tone that both Bangchan and Lee Know brings just makes this a cool listen. I also like the smidge of upbeatness that Drive had, which is another appreciable energy booster during this part of the album. (8.5/10)

15. ice.cream (Hyunjin Solo) – The honour of closing the 25-track album goes to Hyunjin’s ice.cream. I liked the R&B nature of the song and Hyunjin’s husky vocals make the song charming. Don’t get me wrong, however, when I use the word “charming”. ice.cream is a very much bittersweet love song. Hyunjin also raps in the verses, and there is a nice showing of his rapping skills. The abrupt ending is not something I enjoyed and I think the song could have eased out to make the closing of both song and album more palatable. (7.5/10)

Overall B-Side Rating – 7.6/10 (this also includes song ratings from the first half of the B-Side of the album)

Overall Album Rating – 7.9/10
