We’ve existed since 2020 and have brought (mostly) regular K-pop content to readers world wide fueled by our passion for the genre. Despite our original focus on K-pop with occasional gaming, we brought in a second writer who has become our top contributor with her Running Man and 2Days, 1Night reviews, on top of being our dance expert.
Hey, I’m Steven, but when you see the ManelyKpop writer tag, that’s also me. I’m the lead K-pop writer and reviewer as well as the site owner and manager here. I’ve been listening to K-pop since 2012 and have been making lists and rankings that I can document back to 2016, although they started in 2014. This whole site was born of a desire to share and discuss my opinions with people like you, because I think a variety of opinions makes the world a beautiful and interesting place. I have a beautiful wife who has posted articles on here occasion and two amazing cats. You can catch me streaming once or twice a week if I’m not too tired from work on twitch.tv/CosmicUjung.

Say hello to Chelsea, my sister and our lead writer for all things variety and dance, as well as the main source for boy group knowledge, a field that I’m lacking in severely. She’s been listening to Korean music ever since the 2000s when our mom starting watching Korean dramas that she found a TV station for out of the blue. She’s been documenting her thoughts on variety shows for years, longer than I had even realized, and generally loves writing. Her dance knowledge comes from a history of being a cheerleading captain and the head of the ballroom dance club at her university, among other things.
