Back in February (which seems like ages ago now) I went to my first of what I thought would be many Kpop concerts in 2020: Stray Kids. I went without knowing anything about them other than they were part of the JYP family. I have been following them since and have to admit that their READ MORE

On My Playlist ~ Remember [Winner]
If you were to ask me one word to describe the Korean group, Winner, I would say FAMILY. I would challenge anyone to show me a closer-knit group. To me, Winner has elevated past the general colleague-based relationship most professional groups have. Moreover, this feeling of family is not exclusive to the group itself. No. READ MORE
On My Playlist ~ Sunrise [Got7 JB]
I have to admit that over the past year I have been listening to more and more Korean R&B. So it stands to reason then that when a K-pop group, member(s) and/or sub-unit(s) within those groups take a trip on the R&B highway, I have been finding myself boarding that bus. Got7 is one of READ MORE
[Announcement] Changing Lanes ~ The Fangirl Lane
So for months now I have been asking myself: What’s a fangirl to do when her bias changes lanes? Does she simply merge with that traffic and go with the flow? Or, does she take an exit to something new essentially following suit and . . . change lanes herself? READ MORE
The Fangirl Adventure Log Retires
Hello everyone! It has been a month now since my beloved G.O was discharged from his mandatory military service. Some of you may be wondering why I have abruptly stopped writing about him since his discharge. I can assure you that it has nothing to do with a break in my love or support. It READ MORE
The End Is Only The Beginning ~ Welcome Back, G.O!
And with a huge sigh and jubilant smile I can finally say . . . G.O has successfully completed his military service!! This end however signifies a greater beginning. In less than one week’s time we will get what many of us have longed for since he enlisted (and perhaps even before that): a new READ MORE
The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 709
During this final year of G.O’s military service, we have been very fortunate to have received many updates from a man who is clearly in a good…no, GREAT place physically, emotionally and most likely, spiritually. Inasmuch as I have enjoyed the entirety of these 709 days thus far, it is in within the last year READ MORE
The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 706
I admit to being apprehensive about including G.O’s involvement in the December 2012 SBS Gayo Daejeon Color of K-Pop extravaganza here on the countdown for one reason and one reason only: He had to share the spotlight. Now, I am not adverse to him sharing the spotlight, usually. I don’t mind when he is on stage with READ MORE
The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 704
As you know, Vocal Virtuosity moments come in all shapes and sizes here on the Countdown. From short samples to full length songs, I honor all where G.O’s voice is the main attraction. Today is a short sample offering. And, as always, a beautiful vocal moment from our gentle main vocal man. At the 2nd READ MORE
The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 698
Sometimes I hesitate to write about the mid to latter part of 2014. For me personally, the first half was extremely special and I always seem to want to go back and relive those exciting days of seeing and hearing G.O for the first time. But as the year moved on, things got a little READ MORE
