Follow Ups - Apr. 4th, 2026 - AKMU, Atarashii Gakko, IRENE, DPR IAN, Kep1er, DxS, xikers, BTS, KATSEYE, HALLEY, MONSTA X (Patreon)

IT'S TUESDAY FOLLOW UP DAYYYYY! I realize I get so excited for Tuesdays - I'm constantly taking notes of songs & videos I want to see cuz I'm so excited to dive deeper into the reactions we do each Saturday. I love knowing I'll get to hear more (and I can not stress too much about "WHEN AM I GONNA HAVE TIME TO WATCH EVERYTHING?!" I mean, I still don't have time to watch EVERYTHING & this still took me an 1.5 hours & I now have even more follow ups to do but... still perfect! Hahaha. So much good stuff today!

Takeaways:

I really like AKMU and I want to know more about them as people. These last two songs we heard were so beautiful and made me heart happy in a kind of bittersweet way. I'm gonna watch the vlog sometime this week, for sure!

ATARASHII GAKKO! are literally so cute and talented and I can't take it.

I wanna hear IRENE's full album! Give me b-sidessssss.

Christian Yu is about to share his whole heart on this new album. I can't wait to hear it. And I also just wanna hug him... 🥺

Kep1er = still fierce. DxS = still making me cry. xikers = NOT what I expected.

I THOUGHT BTS HAD ME SHOOK WITH 2.0. OMGGGGGGGG THE HOOLIGAN MV!!!! OH! MY! GOD!!!!!!!!!

KATSEYE looks really cute; I wish we were getting Manon for this comeback? Or... are we? What is even happening??? Gonna watch WEEK 2 of Coachella on Twitch, just like the last few years.

HALLEY is obviously talented, but that wasn't he best video of their to check out. Lil rough around the edges; curious if they have better live performances or if that is them without studio magic? 🤔

MONSTA X album sounds pretty good; only a couple songs I'm very curious to hear. And k-pop idol groups should just stop going on GMA until GMA can get their tech up to Korean broadcast standards lmao. Stop doing these idols dirty.
