This is such a fun issue, Farihah! Since I'm more of a GG stan (other than my ult BTS), I don't follow many boy groups, but SKZ has more than a few songs on my playlists. They're definitely a group worth listening to and following. As you said, they're self-producing idols, and I kinda have a soft spot for those idols who write their own music — no offense to those who don't. I think it takes a lot of bravery to showcase that to an audience because writing/composing is more intimate than singing (imho). Plus, Backdoor, Miroh, and Side Effects are such bops!

Also, you can make a section for K-pop issues within the larger The Far Insights newsletter — that'll keep them all in one spot, and you won't worry about moving on from your k-pop era (if that happens!).
