In the little over two years I’ve been listening to K-Pop, I think this is the first time I’ve checked someone out as a solo artist rather than the group they are a part of first. In fairness, Yeonjun was slapped all over my Youtube’s homepage thanks to reactors I like. His face was also quite the pull.
Read moreBook Review: Case File Compendium – Vol. 7 by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou
I can’t believe I got my hands on the seventh Case File Compendium novel several days before its official release and didn’t read it all in like three days. I think I was a bit unmotivated to do much, but once I started I was itching to see what would happen next.
Read moreWeekend Movie Review
This is the most time I’ve spent at the theater over the weekend in a long, long time. I managed a double feature one evening and then decided to ga back twice another day. Great success! The real reason is that I know a lot of other good movies are coming out in the next two weekends, so I don’t want to get behind and I want to catch them in case they get booted too quickly.
Read moreConcert Review: 1VERSE
I had only heard of this newly debuted group while I was still in Japan. I saw that they were coming close by, but it was the day after I’d be getting home, so I decided to be a little responsible and skip. They ended up running into some visa issues, meaning they could only hold a fan meet and two of the members couldn’t perform. With that, they declared they were coming back soon, and I made it a priority to secure a ticket.
Read moreConcert Review: Motion City Soundtrack & Say Anything

Read moreWeekend Movie Review
Honestly, after last weekend’s marathon of movies from the Sundance Film Festival, I thought I might be too burnt out to watch anything this past weekend. I am a fool. Of course I was in the mood for movies!
Read moreBook Review: Everything I Never Told You by Celest Ng
You know, Celest Ng is an author I’ve always known about but have never actually read any of her work. Which is a shame because she’s practically a local! I was in the market for reading something shorter, and her debut novel, Everything I Never Told You caught my attention.
Read moreSundance Film Festival 2026
Or more accurately, the virtual portion of the Sundance Film Festival. Due to my current day job, I don’t when I’d ever be able to attend the festival in-person. Man though, if Cincinnati would have won the bid, that would have changed things for sure. Oh, well.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Hwang Hyunjin
Though nothing new is coming from Stray Kids at the moment, I will be seeing them again later this summer at a new music festival – Governors Ball! Of course I was looking forward to drawing another breath-taking shot of Hyunjin- enjoy!
Read moreI Love LA – Season 1 Review
Maybe if I was more unfamiliar with this cast I might have skipped out on watching I Love LA, but there is something that fascinates me about Rachel Sennott.
