Shifting back to blogger - for kpop

It's been a long while since I've had Blogger! The last time - 2009 - when I was 15. Shifted to Xanga, alternated between that and Tumblr, before shifting entirely to Tumblr at the end of 2011.

Anyway, I created this site as a place for me to post my personal reviews on kpop-related stuff. I figured that Blogger has the best medium for such posts. Although managing posts have changed so VASTLY O_O [since 2009 la].

I started writing reviews on kpop [albeit from a really immature point of view back then] on my Xanga and it gained soooooo many views from people all over the world. I didn't really get the enjoyment then, but after spending a year on Tumblr - I kinda miss writing those posts. Sadly, Tumblr isn't really a good place to post long rambly reviews lol...  hence the shift here

Alright I digress. Here is my previous xanga! Wrote many posts on SNSD (Girls' Generation) and After School back then - because they were the first groups I loved in kpop!

Although I must disclaim this: I DO NOT HATE SNSD'S YOONA ANYMORE. You'll find many posts shitting on the girl in my xanga but I have moved on from it. I really like her [and the rest of SNSD] now. I admit that my perspective was extremely shallow back then.

But I refuse to delete my posts that denounce her. Because it shows how much I have changed in my appreciation for kpop. So please don't demand me to remove them, because I never will.

Back to the topic: This site will contain mainly my reviews/ opinions on Kpop music. Because this is entirely personal, expect plenty of my biases in my posts [namely, SNSD and After School, and Hyoyeon/Nana/ Onew].

So anyway... enough for a introductory post. Hope you enjoy my reviews!

Lastly:
Big shoutout to seoulbeats.com and antikpopfangirl.blogspot.com! I really like their posts. Visit them for more varied [and objective reviews] of kpop lol.
