re:k-pop - Feb 8-14

Hello people of the interwebs. It's sunday at that means it's recap time. I didn't manage it the last few weeks but it's back and going to last (hopefully^^)

This week a few countries including Korea celebrated the Lunar New Year and as it's a huge holiday no one was really in the mood for promotions and/or comebacks, instead there were many variety shows like "My boss is watching" and ISAC where idol groups competed against each other in various games and sports. 

My favorite release of this week is not a real comeback actually, it's Mamamoo's pre-release 1CM의 자존심 for their upcoming album. It's a hilarious track where the members diss each other for being short and it's gold! 

A few bands have hinted at or released information for their comebacks/debuts, including Astro, Spica, Fiestar and Wonder Girls. Out of these I'm looking forward to Spica the most because they've been gone for a long time and I have seriously missed their voices!

Not too long ago, f(x) finally got a fan club name after 7 years and rookies April and Seventeen got theirs this last week as well. In case you don't know, the fan name for April is Fineapple, a combination of fine (meaning good) and apple (short for April). The name for Seventeen fans is Carat, most likely referring to their debut album 17 Carat. 

Unless you live under a rock, you know that today is Valentine's Day and of course many idols have tweeted about it. This day is the first of many love/romance related days that are coming up on the 14th of each month. In Japan and many Asian countries girls give their love interest chocolate on valentine's day and a month later on White Day, the boys will give gifts in return. So if you didnn't get anything today, you may have to wait until March 14^^
