TroubleMaker !!!



I was happily impressed with this unexpected project group Cube released: Trouble Maker.
The unit group is composed by Hyuna (4minute) and Hyun Seung (B2ST).

I saw many people complain about the lack of promotion of other 4minute members by Cube but Hyuna is the only member that could have pulled this sort of concept off. Not that I am very familiar with the members of 4minute, although I am biased toward Jiyoon because I like her voice, I'm cool with Hyunah. Hyunah has pretty good charisma on stage, and that is most likely the reason she is most promoted, she's just popular.

I wasn't to familiar with Hyun Seung before this, but I now have a growing interest ^^ His voice is so soothing and I am glad that he has the larger chunk of the lyrics ^^

The album is really nice and the MV is interestingly sexy ^^ Check them out below !!!

P.S. Hyun Seung's hairstyle really suits him here !!!

Super Junior - MAMA Performance

This performances just stole the night in my opinion, it was extremely cool !!! 
We got to see Superman, Sorry Sorry, and Mr. Simple performed uniquely^^
Plus, the way each of the members entered and the look Siwon gave the camera at
 the beginning was awesome !!! <3

IU is BACK !!!

IU is back as awesome as ever !!!

I will write more about her album after I finish hearing all of her songs but in the meantime here is the MV for her tittle track "YOU & I."



I love this MV because it reminds me of the epicness of Good Day. I like that there are many differnt moods trough the song, such as sadness, happiness, and the joy of youth. I also love that recurring theme with birds; first the parrot, and now the goose. Lastly, IU's dances are simple but always befitting of the song and don't distract from her vocals, but compliment them.

Personally I think IU is the type of artist that is impossible to dislike. She is cute, fun, beautiful, and a very very good singer. She is just likable to put it in simple words.

What do you guys think about the MV or IU in general ???

MINHO MINHO MINHO : Sharing the Minho Love

I really want to spam some pictures of Minho I obtained online :P 
So here it goes !!!

Ooooh and an apology for not posting last week but i was busy and lazy ^^

Hot  

Sweet

 FLAMING CHARISMA IS IN THE HOUSE !!!
I resisted the Temptation of making the pictures extra large :P

Strange Habits ?

This is weird but I just noticed that I slightly bow when I shake someones hand in greeting. -_-

This is most likely a side effect of observing and enjoying Asian culture ;)

I console myself by thinking that at least I don't say "Omoooo !" LOL

Are there any other quirky habits you guys have adopted from Asian culture? 
If so what are they?

TVXQ - DUET

I Love HoMin here (and everywhere ^^), this song just has this really nice feel to it.
Their voices sound really well together, and although I was a little concerned to see if they could pull this song off live, because of the arrangement, I am happy they can.
They sound beautiful and look handsome.

Short Story : Miss A

Today I search Miss A on goggle and it brough back some memories LOL

I still remember last year when Miss A where rookies. My friend Miruuku and I where in our Engineering class at school, with nothing to do.

We got the shock of our life when we goggled Miss A on our laptops.

Now that I think about it, it was rather stupid to Google "Miss A".

As some of you can imagine we got a picture of Min (I think), a picture of of the whole group, and a naked woman. Yep, that was horrible.

One year later and I can finally search the words "Miss A" without being scared of getting naked women all over my screen. Thank you Miss A for becoming popular ^^ LOL

2NE1 Scaring New Fans Since 2009 -_-

OK so I know 2NE1 is supposed to have their own style and all that, but I can't help thinking their clothes in the following picture looked old, cheap, and have no class. Even though I am sure they are more expensive than anything I could ever own in my closet.

It's even more evident when they are standing beside other idols -_-
See below:
left - right
Hyuna (4minute), Minzy, CL, Park Bom, Dara, and Leetuke (Super Junior)

Seriously, If I knew nothing about Kpop and I saw this picture I would think these girls have issues.
They even look extremely creepy. Minzy and Park Bom look particularly scary. CL seems to have escaped the 80's and Dara's hair is just a no no. Furthermore Minzy does not look like an 18 year old -_-

Hyuna and Leetuke look nice and professional since this was the Youtube award ceremony after all -_-
Too bad I can't say the same for 2NE1


So what do you guys think about 2NE1's fashion and outfits ?

T-ara******Cry Cry

For those of you who haven't watched T-ara's Cry Cry MV do it now ^^

Personally I found that the MV had a great story line, that actually makes you feel something.
More than A Music Video this turns into a mine Drama/Movie.
I have to accept that I'm a softy for sad stories and this is not an exception.
Take a look at the 15 min MV below !!!



There will be a second part to this MV released in December !!!

JYJ and their Perverted Songs

The only JYJ songs I have on my i-pod are some of the ones on their English album. This is because I am not a fan of most ballads and their album had some faster paced songs, unlike the Korean album.

While I was listening to the songs I remembered something I noticed long ago, some of their songs are soooo perverted. Seriously.

Here are two very pervy songs, I mean if you don't pay attention to the lyrics, they sound good, but the lyrics just make me cringe.

Be The One 
Honestly this songs chorus makes me lough, I just imagine a weird guy going "Baby be the one", because of that voice LOL



Be My Girl
This one is not that apparently pervy, but theirs some underling messages present (;
It is also amusingly cocky.



Oh God the hidden and not so hidden meaning of these songs is pure gold.


P.S. I bet all of you thought I was going to talk about this ... LOL...

Rookie 3 Course Meal : Hey MYNAME, You Got a Message !

Rookie 3 Course Meal : PART 3
MYNAME

Out of the three groups I have presented MYNAME seems to be the most popular, they hit the nail of popularity straight on. In other words they did all of what is expected from  "good" rookie. They have an energetic choreography, a good concept, and most importantly a catchy song.


The Members (credit for info goes here)

Man, these concept photos are creepy especially Seyong, but they are interesting. Good thing they don't hide how handsome the boys are ...

Their song "Message" is below



SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ? DID YOU LIKE OR DISLIKE OUR THREE PIECE MEAL ?

Rookie 3 Course Meal : Want to be Taken ?

Rookie 3 Course Meal: PART 2
TAKEN

So Taken is also a rookie group consisting of 6 members, I am not so sure as to what to think about them at the moment because their debut song leaves me baffled.



Taken "Young Boys"



The lyrics for the song are mostly atrocious, except for the "I'm the top, greatest korean wolf" part, which I actually like, oh and the chorus which is really catchy and dance-able.

The choreography is pretty cool and energetic, and the music is really fun, especially at the 1:00 minute mark.

Then again the "I'm young boy, i'm a young boy" really throws me off -_-

Rookie 3 Course Meal : AA Anyone ?

Rookie 3 Course Meal: PART 1
AA (Double A)

Okay, I'm not talking about the name I use to blog, but about the rookie group that goes by that name. I've been reading their name on a blog I frequent and I decided to give them a chance. In all honesty they have something that makes them likable and  want to keep looking at them.

As many have mentioned the moves are too feminine for a boy band but they sure are addicting. Many fan girls are appreciative of that particular move, I'm not going to tell you which, go look at the video yourself :P



I think they have potential and aren't going to fade out like the majority of the rookies this year, let's give them a chance ^^

P.S. I LOVE Hoik's Voice !!! <3

CHALLENGE: DAY 9: C.N. Blue

CHALLENGE
DAY 9
Group: C.N. Blue

FAVORITE : SONG
"Kimio" is my favorite C.N. Blue song and IDK why !?!? Maybe because it's different. I love most of the groups songs but Kimio just pulls me in. Oh by the way this song is in Jap. I think there is a Korean version by a different name, but I don't like it, the Kimio chorus is gone, and it looses the feel.

FAVORITE: MV
This was hard but I would have to give it to 직감, because the boys actually look like criminals ! That's a compliment ^^
FAVORITE: LIVE
I was not sure on what performance to choose but I love the two songs they sing here. The first song "Love Light" is one of my favorites, and Yonghwa supposedly wrote it while thinking about Seohyun (SNSD) during their time on WGM. The song even has the chorus of Genie in it at one point, "I'm Genie for You Girl".
The second song "Love", is super catchy, and super entertaining. I also love how we get to see so much of Jonghyun ^^

CHALLENGE: DAY 8: f(x)

CHALLENGE
DAY 8
Group: f(x)

FAVORITE : SONG
This song sounded childish to me at first becouse of the Mr. Boogie chorus, but it's actually pretty catchy and I Love it. The lyrics are also pretty cool.
Credit for subs goes to THEKPOPGIRL1 @ YT.
FAVORITE: MV
My favorite video for f(x) is Chu~♡ and I even have it saved on my computer. I love how the girls (Sulli and Krystal) actually look their age, and how the choreography is so playful.  Do it do it Chu ! It's true true true it's you! I also love the concept of innocence, and the frog on the floor ^^
FAVORITE: LIVE
This performance is my favorite because of the intro which is really fierce, and because the crowd sounds so hyped even thou it is the girls debut stage.
& Victoria looks awesome doing that cartwheel !

CHALLENGE: DAY 7: MBLAQ

CHALLENGE
DAY 7
Group: MBLAQ

FAVORITE : SONG
One Better day just makes me feel good, I like other MBLAQ songs but this one is just so uplifting, don't you think ?
Credit for video and subs goes to JkStraik88 @ YT.
FAVORITE: MV
I love the style of this MV as well as the outfits, the dance, everything !!! They all look so handsome.

FAVORITE: LIVE
Shallow me, I like this live because Joon looks hot crying !!! LOL JK I actually love "Y" live, their all so emotional. Joon is a pretty good actor. The choreography for this song is also one of my favorites (because Joon does that thing with his shirt LOL.) Thunder looks like he wants to shed a tear <3, G.O is all sexy like always, Seungho is handsome, and Mir is all manly.

P.S. Lee Joon actually bares his abs in "Oh Yeah"  for those of you who have denied your eyes from his glory !!! (Okay I'll stop LOL)



Three to Win

I was thinking, "What things make people love their favorite group?"
So I went ahead and answered that myself.

Personally the top three thing I love about SHINee are :
  1. Their lives sound like the actual CD. (In Ring Ding Dong, they even sang the Ring Ding Dong part!)
  2. Their dancing/ coordination /choreography are better than most k-pop groups.
  3.  They have a variety of music and don't stick to a single sound.
Of course after being a fan there are a lot more things I like about them, like the personality they project, or their looks, but the above three are the essence of it all. Without them SHINee could have become just another group to me, IDK. 

So what 3 thing make you love your bias group, or at least were the hook that made you love them?

Bonus:
Credit foes to the awesome compilation maker DareDBxReborn @ YT I love his videos !!!

Comeback: Wonder Girls

So Wonder Girls came back this week and I have to say I am liking their music.
Personally I am not a fan of Wonder Girls because I prefer Miss A's style, and WG don't really fit my taste.
About their tittle track, i'm not sure how it would be received in the states.

Anyway, their tittle track Be My Baby sounded a little childish to me at first but it has something that grows on you. Listen to the song four times and it will just get stuck in your head.

The MV had the same problem for me, it was a little too childish, but the dance moves are fun and will probably look great onstage.

Watch the MV below !!!


Wonder Girl's - Be My Baby English Version
I have to say I love the English version of the song, it's just so catchy.
Furthermore WG have improved their English enormously, even compared to a few months back.
I am becoming a fan of Hye Lim specifically, the girl's voice is charming. Not the best in the group, but very charming. Her english while singing could almost be said to have a perfect american accent.

P.S. Hye Lim is the girl that starts singing at the :44 mark !!!



My Favorite Track of the album is actually ...
"ME, IN"  and I'm happy that they are going to promote it as well, this song would have gone to waste otherwise !!!




I also liked the following songs ...
"STOP" 


Hye Lim's solo song ft. San E - "ACT COOL" (this song is so fun)



"GIRLS GIRLS"



So what do you guys think about this comeback? Voice your thoughts people !!!

He's How Old ?


As I have stated before I am a really big fan of actor Song Jong Ki. He just has the perfect flower boy image.
So, I was looking through this wiki page the other day and was extremely surprised by what I found.

I really, really, can’t believe he is 26.

Seriously, Song Jong Ki is 26.

If someone had asked me before this for his age the most I would have guessed is 23. I still can’t believe it. 

Song Jong Ki was born in 1986 :O

So are there any other stars that you love but have surprised you with their age, either for looking younger or older then they truly are?

Song Jong Ki Picture spam LOL <3 
Credit to picture goes to someone ... but IDK who :(






Big Bang Wins EMA Award: Worldwide Act

This Saturday I watched the MTV EMA Awards live on MTV only to see Big Bang. Although I am not a VIP, I do love their music and I do love Taeyang LOL So I was excited for them.

 I watched the whole show just to get a glimpse Big Bang once they won their award, because I was sure they would win, I just felt it. Through the show, I saw glimpses of Taeyang because he was sitting some rows behind Lady Gaga and she was very popular - I could see his sunglasses and mohawk ^^

Big Bang looked awesome like always as they received their award, but after it was over I realized I only looked at Taeyang and GD, and a little at TOP. I saw five people walk up there but I did not actually see Seungri and Daesung. I am so biased.

 Taeyang I <3 You LOL

 I could not understand much from GD’s speech since it was in Korean, but Taeyang showed us some of his English which made me so happy. GD had a shout out to Korea going on ^^

Anyway those VIP’s who screamed and voted for them are awesome; let everyone know you love Big Bang!

Even though some people find this award unimportant let’s just say that this show was broadcasted all over the world , there’s bound to be curious people asking who Big Bang is. The least that can happen is that they gain more international fans. Watch BB receive their award below ^.^

DAY 6
Group: KARA

FAVORITE : SONG
For Favorite song I will choose " Rider" a very upbeat track from their new album. It's just makes me want to dance.
Credit for video goes to jkpop55 @ YT.
FAVORITE: MV
WOHOO I love LUPIN, this MV is so addicting to watch, at least for me !!! This song is also one of my favorites !!!
FAVORITE: LIVE
This is my favorite song, but I love this live from their Jap. drama Ukarara, it is just so emotional and really reaches the heart, so I am putting it here. This song is also sung in Korean and is named Dear Kamilia, but I just love the Jap. version so much more. I'm really loving the Japanese style of music Kara is adapting.

P.S. From listening to Kara for a while now I've realized most of their songs which are not tittle tracks are very sweet and have very heart touching messages. Check them out.^^
