bi-weekly roundup // 10.11.19
Had a really busy week/weekend and wasn’t able to catch the news for the past couple of days, so I hope I’m not missing out on some major things. I also feel that all I’m seeing is music news. It could be because of the sheer insanity of this month, and that it’s really all I’m focused on right now.
SCHEDULE▹▹
Dramas starting this week that I’m interested in: None
Music I’ll be checking out: Heize (13), Super Junior (14), N. Flying (15), NU’EST, VAV (21), Day6, Taeyeon (22), Winner (23), Goo Hara, Jackson (25), Jessica (26). Seriously October. Seriously.
