Kpop Playlist: Album Opener

The first song on an album is a very important thing. As the old saying goes, you don't get a second shot at a first impression. The album opener can be a lot of things. A hint of things to come, an underrated classic, a way to transport you to another world. Still, it still has one goal: to hook the listener

So that in mind, I've decided to this playlist will highlight songs that do just that! Some rules I made for myself in choosing songs

• It can't be the comeback single. It feels like cheating but interestingly, this knocked out a lot of mainstream Kpop tracks. I’ve honestly never noticed this pattern before.
• It can’t be an intro or prelude to the next song. This one hurts the most because that eliminated some of my favorite album openers from VIXX, Infinite and Agust D. 
• No singles because that is blatantly cheating. 

Now we have the rules, let’s get to the songs!

A Fangirl's Dream Creed III Plot

Trilogies are hard. Writing fiction is challenging enough but creating a long tapestry of storylines, character moments and themes that pieces together to make a complete picture? The act of writing 3 pieces that must stand on their own as well as stand as a large story? It’s insanely hard. Think about it, we have a ton of trilogies but none that feels smoothly integrated. As a writer myself, I cannot fathom the level of forethought, talent and effort it takes to tackle such a thing. And yet, Hollywood sure loves trilogies!! For better or for worse…

As of the time I’m writing, we haven't heard much of the plot for Creed III. So far, we know that star Michael B Jordan will be making his directorial debut and Zach Baylin is working on the script. In recent developments, we know Sylvester Stallone won't be reprising his role as Rocky Balboa and Jonathan Majors, known for his roles in Lovecraft County and Da Five Bloods, joined the cast as Adonis' opponent. Still, this doesn’t mean that I don’t have thoughts or suggestions about the plot.
