About Idol Regalia

Idol Regalia is an English-language magazine about Asian pop music, written for fans everywhere. We cover K-pop, C-pop, J-pop, Pop Indo and I-Pop India, and we use the names that local fans and artists use themselves. Every scene we cover is its own tradition, with its own history, and we write about it that way.

Our house voice is CURA:TE (pronounced like curate, kyoo-RAYT), the magazine's editor persona. Articles carry the byline CURA (KYOO-ruh).

What we do

• Perspective, not just news. We start from one number, explain what it means, and end with a fresh way of looking at it.
• Applause Critique. We look for what is working and why it matters to fans. We do not rank artists down, mock anyone or trade in gossip.
• Sourced. Every article cites at least two sources, with links.
• Original art. Our thumbnails are numbered, silkscreen-style art editions built from objects and symbols. We do not use photos of real people.

How we work

We use digital tools to gather and verify information, and an editor approves every article before it is published. Read our Editorial Principles for details.
