The one where I gush too much about IMFACT because I forgot to cover 70% of my notes as a guest on 🥴😂
This is only part one, I'm still finishing up part two where I gush too much about A.C.E, stay tuned!

May 17, 2021 MOMtheK Gushing for Groups Pt 1: IMFACT I’ve been told that I gush too much. When I really love something, I find it hard to hold it in, in fact I tend to pour it out in gallons. It’s worked to my detriment in romance and business and other times when it’s wiser to hide the streng...

Merry Christmas!! I hope everyone that celebrates had a blessed holiday inspite of the strange state of the world right now. We had a nice, relaxing day, the highlight of which was the gift I received from my amazingly thoughtful daughters. The girls wanted to give me something very special for Christmas, so they bought me a personalized message from UNVS YY!!!! The best part is that the only info they gave him was my name, that I was their mom, and that i love UNVS. His sentiments to me are so very sweet!!🥰 Thanks December & Shayla, and thank you YY!!

I'm embarrassed to admit that I started writing this post over two years ago, when I made my first K-Pop friend beyond my own daughters. I only had a paragraph written up until this morning, and it's just as well, as I have found such an awesome tribe over the time since Sept 2018!

November 18, 2020 MOMtheK Finding Your People in K-Pop My closest K-Pop friends are my teenage daughters. Before we became a trio, they were somewhat like two lonely islands in the same K-Pop bay. They both liked the music, but they stanned different groups, loved different songs, and didn’t reall...

Here's a post I started last week and actually finished in a timely manner. The pressure to roll a few posts out before 11/19 is helping for sure. This one's kind of sad, and I think we can all relate.

November 17, 2020 MOMtheK 2020 in K-Pop: a bittersweet symphony I seem to be crying a lot lately. I blame Covid, mainly because I blame Covid for everything. TXT just put out a song whose title perfectly sums up 2020: We Lost the Summer. It’s so fitting, so beautiful, and so utterly sad. I teared ...

Hey what do you know, I actually finished a blog post this week! I'm gonna buckle down and try and finish several more before my 3 yr "kpop birthday" which is coming up this week. Something about milestones makes me reflect and realize how lazy I've been all through quarantine😆. Speaking of milestones, a recent big one for Ateez prompted me to write this post. The title is paraphrased from that scene at the end of the movie Swingers where Vince Vaughn realizes his best friend has grown up.

November 13, 2020 MOMtheK My little babies all growns up I cried over a K-Pop group the other day. And I’m not embarrassed. I don’t mean I wailed like a Beatlemaniac, not that there’s anything wrong with that (there isn’t). But yes, I sobbed real tears, streaming down my face, for a K-Pop gr...

It's D-Day for DKB's comeback!! We've also been given a fandom name today, so I'm officially a BESTIE!!! I love it!! It's not the name I wished for (I tried to summon the fandom name Vision, 'cause you know, it's kind of cool sounding for a group called Dark Brown Eyes) but Bestie is great too, I'm happy to be a Bestie!

My love for DKB inspired me to write about how fast I stanned them and groups in general, so please check it out in my latest blog post. I'd love to hear how fast YOU stanned the groups you love, and whether you agree with my theory!

May 24, 2020 MOMtheK The Fastest Stan in the West What’s the fastest you’ve ever stanned a group? Up until a few months ago, my fastest stan time was one day, and the group I clocked that record with was B.A.P. Some groups have come close to that record, but still took more than a day, closer to...

A new post is up on my blog. I've probably started writing this one about 20 times since first published my blog, but felt the motivation to finish it today. Let me know your thoughts on the subject in the comments, I'm interested how others feel.

April 7, 2020 MOMtheK When Your Fave Lets You Down I·dol /ˈīdl/    A person that is greatly admired, loved, or revered. I recently saw a K-pop album on sale for the insanely low price of 99 cents. 99 cents!! I knew I really liked one of the songs on it, the lead vocalist was super talented, and...

Today is my 2 year K-pop birthday!! Exactly two years ago this evening I was captivated by BTS on the American Music Awards, and so began this crazy journey!! I blogged my birthday reflections https://momthek.com/my-two-year-k-pop-birthday/ and one of my goals in the year ahead is to make myself sit down and blog more. Hopefully I'll stick to it!

November 20, 2019 MOMtheK My Two Year K-pop Birthday!! Today is my 2 year K-pop birthday!!!! It’s been exactly two years since I fell head-first down the rabbit-hole of K-pop, chasing BTS into the mysterious and captivating unknown. There has been so much to discover, so much to learn, and so many...

This song and mv is so beautiful and sad. If you haven't seen this yet, watch it today and say a prayer for Sulli and her loved ones left behind. Another heartbreaking loss 😞💔. Mental illness is real, it's devastating, and if it becomes unbearable, please please please tell someone before making an irreversible decision. Rest in peace Sulli.

So I blogged today for the first time in a few months 😞

October 9, 2019 MOMtheK The struggle of stanning an underrated group, pt.1 At last summer’s KCON LA, two of the panels that excited me the most were “The Struggles of Being a K-pop Fan” and “Underrated K-pop Groups.” As it happens, these two topics have frustratingly collided for me this w...
