New Music: K-Pop Round-Up, Part 1 (Stray Kids & 1VERSE)

Though I’ve been keeping up with most of the K-Pop groups that I’ve been listening to so far, I’ve reached a point where I want to bring some new groups into the fold.

Loud & Proud seems to be the next entry in a possibly related grouping of albums. I’ve not heard any details to confirm that, but it sure does seem to be connected. And I like that these album titles are incorperating the ampersand sign.
