NEWS:
Want the quickest, most up to date news? Reddit is the place to go.
It has more than its share of fluff articles and gossip, but it’s pretty comprehensive.
Not quite as comprehensive as allkpop, but definitely with less fluff.
A decent source of big jpop and kpop news, but it’s even better for song title translations and discography information (particularly for jpop artists)
INTERACT:
There are other kpop forums, but Onehallyu is the biggest and most comprehensive. In fact, it’s often the best place to go for breaking news. Just try to avoid the fanwars.
LISTEN/WATCH:
A handy compiling of every major and minor kpop music video as they’re released.
Basically a Korean spotify. It’s written in Hangul, but fairly easy to navigate. A good place for chart information and song/album samples.
COMMENTARY:

REVIEWS:
The Singles Jukebox (general music site, but sometimes features K-pop)
BUY:
Make sure to read my post on buying kpop online first!!
My go-to online shop for newer Korean releases. Always the cheapest for me (in the States) and quick shipping with excellent packaging. Plus, if you create an account using the above link, you’ll get 5% off your first order!
PODCASTS
My favorite of all the kpop podcasts, even though their taste is usually completely different than mine. Stephen and Josh are always entertaining to listen to, and I love the format of their shows.
