The first couple of years of our journey into K-Pop did not include a ton of girl groups in our stan repertoire, but 2022 came fast and furious with debuts and comebacks galore to change our minds.
We're starting off our third season with the timeline of our integration into the girl group stan pipeline and we're looking forward to what 2023 has in store for us - which we already know will be bops upon bops.
As always, please forgive any mispronunciations!
