Variety Review: Running Man Episode 588- (most of) 589
The New Year has dawned for the Running Man crew and they are bringing in the next year with a fashion bonanza…Or, they’re at least trying to raise their fashion sense to new heights. In a series of games, they will try to earn items to make their team and themselves tall enough to beat out the rest of the crowd. With guests from the model world, the Running Men are aiming to be giants in the new year.
Variety Review: Running Man Episode 587
The team has been confused about what order to put down the member’s names in articles and such because Somin and Sechan were born in the same year. There has also been some confusion about the chores (such as doing the slate or getting the water for the members) that usually fall to the youngest member. To solve that problem, they came up with a race to determine the ‘official youngest’ on Running Man.

Chelsea's Top 50 Kpop Songs of 2021
We at the Manely Kpop team have very diverse tastes, and the list from owner Steven was very girl group biased, so we’re getting Chelsea’s take with a shockingly small amount of overlap, because 2021 had that much good music.
Top 10 Kpop Songs of 2021 (ManelyKpop Team Voting)
The 3 contributors of ManelyKpop came together to vote on a few different categories that will be getting articles, this is the first.

Variety Review: 2Days, 1Night, Season 4- Episode 101 pt 2- 103 pt 1 Odd One Out Trip
Because of their recently odd numbered membership, the staff of 2 Days, 1 Night designed a trip all around the fifth wheel of the group. Unfortunately the members can’t figure out if it's good or bad to be that wheel. Welcome to the Odd Man Out Race, where you can take nothing for granted.
The Top 50 Kpop Songs of 2021
We’ve reached 2022! To celebrate it’s time to look back at our final feelings about kpop in 2021, starting with what were the best songs of the year.
Sechan’s Birthday is coming up, so the members spend a day reflecting on how they have raised him from a variety rookie into the full-blown variety member he is today through various painful games and slanderous conversations...as a variety show does.
With guests born in 1999 (San of ATEEZ omg omg omg, Arin of Oh My Girl, and Jin Jihee) The members take a trip back in time to 1999 when people were predicting the end of the world. They must survive the day without the spies Nostra and Damus (*giggles*) putting an end to everything with their uncanny predictions.
To commemorate 100 episodes together, the staff of 2D1N took the members’ suggestions to have a relaxing getaway on the beautiful Jeju Island. The members were given full reign over their day...mostly. Congratulations on 100 episodes!!!!
