Read MoreKorean Musicians I Listen To
Earlier this year, I was interviewed on the TBS eFM radio show, K-Popular, which is hosted by As One. It was a lovely, if slightly surreal, experience – I was sitting on my bed in my pjs during the interview. But one question, or rather a comment, stuck in my head. They said (and I’m paraphrasing) that it makes sense that I like Nell since I said I listened to a lot of alternative music before...

Read MoreHow to Make Cinnamon Soju
I’m not very crafty but I can cook and I like giving interesting gifts for Christmas or birthdays. So I often give them jams, salsa (I make a killer, super spicy salsa) or something along those lines. This year I decided to do something a little different and make flavoured soju (소주, the ubiquitous Korean alcohol). Okay, so it’s not a groundbreaking idea as there are lots of flavoured rums and...

Read More2014 Toronto Korean Film Festival and why it rocks
Okay, first off I have to tell you that I’m on the board of directors of the Toronto Korean Film Festival (TKFF) so my opinion isn’t entirely unbiased. But I was only asked to join the board in November (2013) and I thought it rocked way before then. ^^ And honestly, I would have written the same article even if I wasn’t on the board. Now that I acknowledged my bias, I want to share with you...

Read MoreReview: Teen Top in Toronto
Teen Top put on a fabulous show in their second trip to Toronto, a feat that no other K-pop group has accomplished. Yeah, they are the only K-pop group to perform twice in Toronto. They came here for the first time in 2012 during Canadian Music Week, along with three other K-pop acts and three Korean Indie bands. This time, however, they performed a solo show at the Guvernment club. I’m going to...

Read MoreSXSW Editorial: Final Thoughts and Takeaways
It’s time to wrap everything up. I can’t believe how much fun I’ve had over the last couple of weeks. First, attending South by Southwest (SXSW) where I got to see (and hear) some absolutely amazing Korean music and meet some fabulous people. And then writing everything up – which might not sound fun to everyone but I adore writing – has been a blast. It’s kind of like reliving everything all over again....

Read MoreInterview: Big Phony
Huge thanks to Big Phony for taking a few minutes to answer my questions before the Korean Underground: Part 1 show in San Antonio when he obviously wasn’t feeling well. Big Phony – or Bobby – was absolutely lovely to speak with, super nice. But even better, his music is dreamy. So check out his interview and then give him a listen! The Interview Hi there, can you please introduce...

Thanks to our lovely readers who voted during...

Read MoreInterview: Glen Check (at SXSW)
I was super excited to see Glen Check at the Seoulsonic show, not only because of their great music but also because of all the buzz about this band. And luckily, before their Seoulsonic showcase at South by Southwest (SXSW), they were kind enough to take a few moments to answer some questions. If you haven’t listened to them yet, what are you waiting for? Check out this fabulous Korean electro-rock...
