  Happy #KpopMonday to you @Erzbet@apobangpo.space, and thanks for choosing the #GoldenHour as a theme. My favourite Mamamoo MV includes some golden hour filming as well as many other delights, both musical and visual: MAMAMOO -- Starry Night https://youtu.be/LjUXm0Zy_dk?si=Gx3_T9HtkByOrcrW #Kpop #Mamamoo #StarryNight #NewZealand

  https://frasernelson.substack.com/p/jd-vance-and-the-libelling-of-britain In response to the inflammatory falsehoods peddled by J.D. Vance, Fraser Nelson, a right leaning journalist, provides not merely a persuasive rebuttal but a convincing refutation. #UKPolitics #HenryNowak #JDVance #Immigration #Crime

  https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/03/joe-kent-resigns-from-trump-administration-over-iran-war/ I fear that amongst the half truths in Kent's claims about the war there lurks also a harbinger of a surge in rightwing antisemitism. #Iran #JoeKent #USPolitics #Antisemitism

  Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen NMIXX – Crescendo. I’ve played this a number of times and am still enjoying the quality and arrangement of the vocals and the delightful quirkiness provided by the pauses and instrumental. Oddly enough, I don’t hear a big crescendo here. I don’t know enough about western pop to understand where NMIXX fit into the larger pop music landscape,...

  NMIXX(엔믹스) “Heavy Serenade” A Cappella Highlight Medley https://youtu.be/CWlf36OmK3c?si=Pe79Bubihr9pwmhj Wouldn't be fun to have an entire a cappella album from NMIXX? #Kpop #NMIXX #HeavySerenade #ACappella

  I wish YouTube still thought I was a a senior who needed a Korean speaking doctor in Austin, as opposed to a Trump supporting sinophobe who would have no problems with a data center being built nearby. #YouTube #Advertising

  #KpopMonday #WorkHard EXO-CBX -- Hey Mama! https://youtu.be/AOzVyVv1HtQ?si=p30xrGYJqO56O3zK Thank you @Erzbet for organizing this weekly fun. I hope you don't think I'm trying to undermine the theme by posting an MV which is all about a revolt against endless toil. I absolutely love the discoish funky guitar sound here; in fact this is a favourite boy group track of mine. #Kpop #EXO #EXOCBX #HeyMama

  #KpopMonday #WorkHard SPICA S -- Give Your Love https://youtu.be/jL92iiHulXw?si=M-boCkGhWYwTwvyJ Office "work" as imagined in the long lost world of sexy concept Kpop MVs. Probably not the best Spica music from this subunit, but second rate Spica is still worth a listen. #Kpop #Spica #SpicaS #GiveYourLove #SexyConcept

  #KpopMonday #WorkHard WJSN -- As You Wish https://youtu.be/2Q9G6R2hKIQ?si=uGghcnu4bDUhqM17 Part of me thinks I ought to apologize for posting this MV for the umpteenth time, but my deeper self is unrepentant because in fact I absolutely adore this MV. One of the many things I love about the MV is the reversal it works on our usual feelings about bureaucracy and form filling. Instead of facilitating a rationalizing process that sucks the magic out of our lives, the beautiful office workers...

  NMIXX -- Lily Apparently Lily gets attacked as the "visual hole" of NMIXX. I don't know if this is racism, envy, or some combination of the two, but to describe Lily thus is not only unpleasant but utterly bizarre too. #Kpop #Lily #NMIXX #KpopPix

  LE SSERAFIM -- CELEBRATION -- Music Bank -- 260424 https://youtu.be/Dma9QDqQK3A?si=cybAY9wOAPIjuw8U I am not blindly prejudiced. The big clumpy boot, which I have excoriated more than once in the past, is in fact the appropriate choice for this stage. #Kpop #BigClumpyBoot #LeSserafim #Celebration #KpopStyling

  Kevin Warsh is Trump's Sock Puppet https://youtu.be/T_amEPmvfNE?si=3Fz6wxXQyPdLjubg There is a whole debate to be had about the political economy of "independent" and "technocratic" central bankers, but in the meantime let us note that Krugman is probably correct in his prediction that Kevin Warsh will be Trump's obedient servant at the Fed. #USEconomy #FederalReserve #KevinWarsh #PaulKrugman #DonaldTrump #USPolitics

  🧵 1/4 Feeling quite energized at the moment, as a consequence of that strange amalgam of a poor night's sleep being followed by a successful day in the classroom. So I feel oddly buzzed and will therefore create a thread about a stage from one of my favourite groups, RESCENE. RESCENE -- RUNAWAY -- M Countdown 260416 https://youtu.be/VB_vtps_wus?si=NJovf6bOHnacAAq3 Since I keep a playlist of my favourite groups performing in all black outfits, this stage was an immediate save for me.

  https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2026/01/what-happened-at-the-protests-in-iran/ One of the grimmest aspects of the war in Iran is the undercutting and betrayal by Trump and Netanyahu of those Iranians brave enough to protest against the ruling regime. The bombing and the bloodthirsty rhetoric emanating from Washington have been a propaganda gift to the rulers in Tehran, being used unfairly but fatally -- I use that word deliberately -- to discredit the protesters. Don't e...

  I feel so relieved about the news of the two week ceasefire, although I was not at all happy to read of continuing Iranian missile attacks on Israel. Let us hope that even this partial ceasefire holds beyond a fortnight. Let us also never forget that what Trump and Netanyahu did by starting this war was both foolish and heinous and has left everybody worse off than before. #Iran

  #KpopMonday #5thGenerationKpop @euphoricaster posted an ARTMS track, so here is another post-LOONA release, Loossemble -- TTYL. This was Loossemble's best title track. Sadly, it was also their last; they never did talk to us later. LOOSSEMBLE -- TTYL https://youtu.be/AdFtOCtmq-Q?si=RGfyZRZ0ek9wDTKh #Kpop #Loossemble #TTYL #LOONA #GirlGroups

  RESCENE --Runaway -- MV Teaser https://youtu.be/mW8lnWqcAmg?si=AXJpJR12OcSrGOZ1 RESCENE are coming back with a digital single on April 8th . The music teaser sounded good, and this MV teaser looks good, so I feel hopeful, yet I'm also aware of the possibility of disappointment.. I'm sure other Kpop fans wrestle with expectation management. #Kpop #RESCENE #Runaway #Teaser
