We all talk about BTS, BLACKPINK, Stray Kids, NewJeans, and whatever K-Pop group that’s currently trending in the early 2020s. But let’s go back… way back… back into time when things were simpler. Let me talk about 90s K-Pop with you.

Music Spotlight: Taeyang – Wedding Dress

I normally cover songs you may not have heard of before, or rather ones that fall in the indie spectrum, and general obscurity.
