A K-Pop Venting Session

[published 11.24.15]

alright kids, sit the hell down and let me learn you some things.

Today, I'm gonna talk about K-Pop. How I even ended up here, I don't know. I was first exposed to EXO through the Fine Bros., and I only liked a couple groups. That was April. Now, it's December, I've been doing this for eight months, and I'd like to share just how far my head is up South Korea's ass.

I'm just going to talk about each group I'm a fan of, my bias, my favorite song(s), and some other miscellaneous stuff. I'll also be going in alphabetical order, so don't mistake the order for favoritism in any way.

In the wise words of Mario, Let's-a Go!
