SHINee is Back :P - Teaser Medley

S.M released a medley teasing the songs in the album, and It's getting me even more excited. The songs that specially sound great are the ones with Taemin's and Onew's pictures, people are inferring that the later might be a solo. The song with Key's picture is the Korean version of "Stranger" from their Japanese album, I actually really like that song. In general I think the whole album sounds exciting, can't wait to hear the whole version of the songs and watch the MV!

P.S. I pre-ordered "SHERLOCK" yesterday ^^ So Excited !!!

Jonghyun is known for uploading strange videos onto SM's official YT account once in a while. Specially videos of his dog Roo. This time he gifted us with a self made teaser. He is really cute ^^

CHALLENGE2: DAY 24: A picture of a k-pop idol who you think is overrated

Overexposed and overrated are different words that often get confused. K-pop is flooded with over exposed people but rational fans know that most of them are lacking talent here and there. That means these people who are overexposed are not necessarily overrated (talent wise).

An idol I think is overrated is Park Bom. Specially by fans of 2NE1. If I had to say it straight out 2NE1 runs on CL's fumes and her performance skills. Sometimes it seems that the concepts of 2NE1 are meant to fit CL and not the members as a group. Bom's place here is as lead vocalist but her voice is not what it is said to be. I mean, I like her tone to a point but her voice and technique are rather week.

Boom's weakness are lives, and although fans of 2NE1 usually accept it, they die making excuses (although usually legit) for her. They think people are saying that her flaws are a reason to dislike Bom, but it's not. If you like someone then go ahead and like them. There usually is no particular reason to like an idol , but it is not rational to say that they are the best singers out there (ex. my ultimate bias is Minho but I will never say he is a great singer or powerful rapper because that would be a lie).

CHALLENGE2: DAY 23: A picture of a k-pop idol who you think is underrated

Credit for Picture to Owner

The k-pop scene is know for overrated idols but there are many who are very underrated as well.
In my opinion, one of them is Jonghyun from C.N. Blue. I really love C.N Blue and Jong Hwa, but in truth my bias is Jonghyun. I even avidly wait for his singing parts in songs ^^

The boy is a better guitar player than Jong Hwa and a really good singer but he rarely gets the chance to shine and is very underrated. People who do not follow C.N Blue or more specifically people who only follow C.N Blue for Jong Hwa, do not see much to Jonghyun, but he is gold.

Review: Nu'Est "FACE"

Rookie male groups are flooding the scene at the start of this year and Nu'Est is not the exception. This group has five members, with four of them born in 1995, making them one of the youngest groups out there, if not the youngest.

"FACE" is a good debut song simply because it is catchy in off to keep the group relevant. The beat is awesome and the chorus is easy to follow. I am guilty of having the song stuck in my head. On the other hand, the music video is average and not very eye catching, with the use of very dark colors and week fight scenes. I specially have an issue with the obviously fake fight scenes, they are a little laughable. The dance wasn't flashy or powerful, although there where a couple of great dance moves scattered in the bunch. In regards to the fashion and looks, the concept is dark in a pretty boy way, which is befitting to this group, because they are all very pretty boys.

All in all, Nu'Est will probably be the type of group I listen to once in a while, because at the moment I am not a fan. I like the dynamic of the members, and the way they work together, as well as the overall sound and tone of the group, but I still need to see MORE to be sold.

What do you guys thin of Nu'Est and their debut single ?

Another SHINee teaser image !!!

I really like this !!! They look cute.

P.S.In my opinion they look more like gypsies than hippies.

Plus pre-orders for the album are out on most sites (yessasia, kpoptown, dvdheaven) !!!

SNSD - Time Machine

SNSD in Japan is a whole different thing form SNSD in Korea. I have to say I'm a fan of their Japanese work over songs produced in Korea, because everything just seems more polished.

"Time Machine" is a song in SNSD's repackage album of their first Japanese album. The PV was released today, and I'm glad to see it is of a better quality that Mr. Taxi and that the girls are finally out of their box again.
