Quick update:

Hi everyone! You might have guessed but I'm taking a break from the blog for right now to focus on schoolwork and my mental health. I still love kpop as much as ever, and I'll be back in what I hope will be two very short months! Love you all and thanks for being patient!

Love, Anna.

Thank you for understanding :) I really appreciate how polite you were and I'm always happy to meet someone who really loves the group I cover!

That being said, I hope you enjoyed the majority of the review and I hope you keep reading!

I listened to all of ZB1's official songs for this review, as always, but I do not have time to write about each one. I mostly stick to singles (though I missed Sweat, that’s on me), and mention any other song that catches my ear. I appreciate your commentary but please remember I do this for fun.

I get comments like this occasionally and would respectfully like to remind all readers that I do not get paid for this blog. I am a full-time student with a job who writes about 3+ groups and devotes 10+ hours a week to this. I'm going to miss things sometimes, and I appreciate your understanding.

You took the words right out of my mouth!

Oh, I did check out other things, don't worry! I watched the Buzzfeed puppy interview and them on Phone A Fangirl; both were delightful. I just didn't want to bore people by mentioning everything I watched, so I only mentioned a couple

Oh, I did review Sweat! It was one of my favorites; I must have lost the paragraph somewhere in editing, lol. Thanks for pointing it out :)

Rare non-kpop life update from your friendly neighborhood reviewer:

It's finals week and I'm so tired that when typing up an essay for my Lit class and trying to say "it represents the characters' struggles" I typed "character truffles".

Fuckin' character truffles, guys.
