Kotaku EastK-Pop Pick Of The Day: The Space Between
I love it when K-Pop music videos turn into episodes of K-drama lite (barring, say, 20-minute-long monstrosities), and the video for The Space Between is one of the best I’ve watched. It’s a classic K-drama plot condensed into the running time of an average pop song, but it’s got everything you’d expect: a screwball mix-up,…

Kotaku EastK-Pop Pick Of The Day: Thank U Soooo Much
If the Dragonball Z scouter cameo wasn’t enough reason for Yubin’s just-released Thank U Soooo Much to jump the line for a feature, its gorgeous 80’s-inspired music surely is. Thank U Soooo Much (hereby referred to as TUSM) is Yubin’s second solo release, following Lady which came out in June of this year. Even the…

Kotaku EastK-Pop Pick Of The Day: The Red Shoes

I’ve previously mentioned my love of saxophones, and that love most definitely extends to big band music—and when that big band comes with an unashamed lifting of early-twentieth-century aesthetics and choreography, IU’s The Red Shoes has practically got me groveling at its feet. We’ve been (slowly but steadily) hitting the major points…

Kotaku EastK-Pop Pick Of The Day: First Snow
Here in New York, home of the Kotaku mothership, we just got our first dusting of snow last week. (In November!) It was a fair bit more than a dusting, actually; it was the kind of snow that makes people stop whatever you were doing and gaze at the flurry for a few seconds, lost…
