2NE1's I Love You MV + Inkigayo Performance

Sorry I took a while to post the MV, its good now that I can add the SBS Inkigayo performance too! 2NE1 comes back with "I Love You" ooo oo ooo oo~ This track is a mix of 2NE1's signature club sound and R&B verses. Its like 2NE1 and Big Bang's sound is getting more and more similar isn't it?

I like the song, but I thought the verses took too long. My favorite part is when it hits 3:30 where the pace gets faster and CL and BOM is like "I love you everyday, don't get away, take me away!" A bit of english error there but let's not sweat the small stuff.

Animals! Animals on the stage!! O.O Omg 2NE1 can really take performance to another level. What's next a circus on the stage? CL has a parrot on her shoulder (like the pirate that she is). But then for "I Love You" stage there are white and black swans all over the front stage. I wonder what they think of the song..

Jo Kwon's Animal Performance + BTS Inkigayo

So did you guys watch Jo Kwon's comeback episode on Inkigayo yesterday? It was amazingg!! Wasn't it?? Jo Kwon performed Animal then I'm Da One, his title track.

Animal performance, I have to say I kept my eyes open the whole time! Jokwon is wearing 19.5 cm heels and dancing! That's like 7.7 inches! I can't even walk properly in 2 inch ones. Jokwon is awesomee, the song is so awesome already, I told you guys its my favorite. I'm so impressed with his confidence with his transformation of something like a male Lady Gaga + Adam Lambert. Jo Kwon did want to show something that only he can pull off. =D

Here's Jokwon's crazy boy practice video for Animal, sorry I can only get you guys the BTS Inkigayo performance, SBS disabled the videos. So below is the MBC Music Core version!

ZE:A Spectacular album + Aftermath MV

Wow! Where did this comeback come from? Our favorite 9-member boyband is back, it's been awhile right? ZE:A (Children of Empire) releases their 2nd album "Spectacular" with title track "Aftermath".

Finally you can see that ZE:A has grown a lot, they all look really mature and handsome, not children anymore! I can name all the members of ZE:A now I'm so shocked, I think by now you can too. Enjoy the MV & the triple decker concept photos below!

2NE1's I Love You (Teasers)

Yeay! 2NE1 is coming back along with their original glitzy ritz and luxurious hip hop image. They haven't released a korean song since around this time last year. The girls have been busy with their Japanese and US debut, working with Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and whatnot, I'm totally looking forward to that!

Anyways "I Love You" is a simple dance track that is more of a mellow version of 2NE1 but still with their prominent electronic sound. The full song by itself is ---okay, but it grows on you the more you listen. I can't wait to see the MV, is there going to be a storyline? Dara's hair is a pink-purple ombre and I love Bom's red and orange hair, finally Minzy's hair is a normal color and well CL is still blonde lol.

Well, we'll just have to hold on a bit longer, here are the teasers! (Why doesn't Minzy have a teaser?)

I Love You (Teaser)

Stay tuned on SBS Inkigayo for their comeback on 8th July (Sunday). For Malaysians, 2NE1's comeback episode will air on the 18th July (Wednesday) the following week.

Super Junior is Sexy, Free & Single [MV + Photobook Translation]

Super Junior is back as 10 along with recently military-released Kangin! SuJu is taking another hard shot at fangirls with "Sexy, Free & Single" album. The concept pics I have to say are really misleading because the MV is completely "beautiful male" concept free. Although the SuJu boys do look really good already as they are.

"Sexy, Free & Single" I have to say is really good. I'm not the biggest SuJu fan but I like a few of their songs. Its a subtle electronica song that I would totally listen to! And the entire album is actually pretty good as well, none of that dat-dat-dat-dat nonsense here. I'm glad Super Junior is experimenting with non-autotune songs, they've great vocals.

Sexy, Free & Single MV

At first I lol-ed I thought they said "sexy, free and single, I'm ready to mingle". But then I found out it was "sexy free and single, I'm ready too, bingo!" Omo, the meaning becomes more =.=

T-ARA DAY BY DAY MV is out! [Tracklist + Concept Pics]

(From left) Jiyeon, Soyeon, Hwayoung, Hyomin, Ahreum, Boram, Eunjung and Q-ri

Hurray! My other fave girl group T-ARA is having their comeback with the mysterious and melancholic "Day by Day".

I was VERY surprised that this time T-ARA comes back with a ballad. They've never done this before and I'm really excited that they can now confidently embrace their marvelous vocals as a title track. I was pretty sick of all the disco dubstep dance songs they've been popping up with. Its good to take a step back and just enjoy a good song..

New member Ahreum joins the T-ARA gang (the one with red streaks in her hair) as a vocalist in the song Day by Day. I actually like Hwayoung's rap this time. In the MV, 9th member Dani (who will not comeback with T-ARA for this song) stars as the blind but supernaturally powerful, "wanted" girl escorted by Hyomin. Watch in HD its epic~~

DAY BY DAY MV

cr:loenent

In the beginning the narrator says:

“Humans wanted to wear the clothes of Gods. They wanted to talk like Gods and reign like Gods. However, the Gods did not permit such thoughts of the humans.

In the destroyed world, humans became more like animals than animals themselves. Picking up knives in attempts to reign over one another, they started to slaughter one another.

But one day…
Rumors started spreading that among them was a girl who possessed special powers.

Jiyeon says: You know this person right? Where is she?”

Kim Bum's Home Town PV + Tracklist

Aaaahhh I'm meltinggg..... Kim Hyun Joong is ready for some summer rockin' with his new single HEAT! This is a japanese single where KHJ teams up with rock gropu B'z whom he has always admired.

KHJ requested himself for this song and I'm glad they made the collaboration! The song is so fun to dance around with, Hyun Joong looks so happy to dabble his hand in a bit of J-Rock. Plus he's sizzling hot in the PV. Get ready for it, single drops July 4th!

SISTAR - Loving U MV + Concept Pics

I was really contemplating whether I should have posted this MV because it is so sexy sexy SEXY! SISTAR has fun in the sun travelling in Hawaii for Loving U!

They don't particularly try to look sexy but these girls are just so obviously undeniably hot! It's worse when swimwear comes into the picture along with sailor outfits. Anyways I love the song, its fun and cute summer song and the dance is fun as well. Check out their MV, Dance video, tracklist and concept photos~

T-ARA's Day by Day teaser MV!

Whoaaaa.... I can't wait for all these comebacks soon, T-ARA, 2NE1, Super Junior, its all going to be daebakk!

I'm going to start freaking out about T-ARA, they will come back as a 8 member group including new member Ahreum. All T-ARA members are so pretty! Even the new ones. The 9th member is American-born Dani, but she's only in the teaser as an actress and will be with the group's consequent comeback.

Day by Day will be released on 3rd July. There will be a 20 minute drama music video.

Day by Day MV Teaser

cr: coremidas

I'm diggin the medieval Lord of the Rings flute intro, sounds super cool. The Sci-Fi scene is a brand new concept for T-ARA YAY for a storyline music video! Jiyeon looks hot even though I don't like her blonde hair, is she an underground mafia Queen?? Hyomin with red hair just shows how awesome she is. I think Dani is suppose to be blind in the story.. Ahh! I can't wait.

Here's a sneak peak of the new members..

Jokwon says "I'm Da One" MV + Album

100% endorphin, no joke...

2AM’s leader Jo Kwon can finally unleash his inner-diva! All the hype for his solo effort does not go to waste, this album is daebak! It is very very far-fetched from the ballads of 2AM, as Jokwon’s “I’m Da One” is a great cheery house album.

I’m not one that is into this whole club song craze that’s been dominating American charts, but Jokwon’s album allows a forward move into the k-music industry, its fresh and cool but still keeps up with the current “club” trend without sounding overused.

“I’m Da One” isn’t my favorite song in the album, I much prefer the other songs to be the main title. It’s not a bad song at all because the entire album makes me wanna dance. Wingardium leviosa~!! Read on below for my picks in the album.

Best Friends Who Idols Envy - Every1 Weekly Idol

 yess I miss spazzing~~

I love watching Every1 Weekly Idol episodes. Usually the two hosts talk casually to every idol group about their quirks, their ideal types and their idol crushes. This time on June 6th, they classify the TOP 10 idol best friends, other idols are jealous about. I’m totally jealous too!

The girl group ones are the only ones without subs, if you find them please comment below with the link! Girl group subs are always slower than boy groups, I guess fangirls have more enthusiasm? The first person that shows up in the video is the one who's envious of the besties~! Starting backwards …

#10 – Taemin (SHINee) & Kai (EXO-K)


#9 – UEE (After School) & Hyosung (SECRET) – no sub --


#8 – Key (SHINee) & Woohyun (Infinite)

4Minute Friend Testing Guy-Idols

On MNET’s the Beatles Code June 7th, we find out that 4Minute’s Jihyun calls her friend, Super Junior’s Donghae asking him for money haha. No wonder, he is such a sweet guy! I don’t know if this makes you jealous Alia, but I guess this is why you like him.. Watch the hilariousness below~~

Jihyun's call to Donghae (Super Junior) – Eng Sub -

It’s Hyuna’s turn and who else does she call but her partner in troublemaking Trouble Maker’s JS or Beast’s Hyunseung! People always thought they date, but the way Hyunseung reacts to Hyuna’s help haha. I don’t know what to say, he’s quite blur…get with the program JS!

2BiC (투빅) HU+MAN album & MVs

I introduce to you 2BiC of Nextar Entertainment! Although they have been around for a while, this is the first full mini album I’ve listened to.. and what a beautiful group I would have missed if I hadn’t! 2BiC stands for “2Bi Continue” members Jinhwan and Junhyung are specially selected by infamous producer and composer Cho Young-Soo for their mind-blowing vocals and musical traits.

I love love this album that features other excellent vocal singers Davichi, Ailee and 79. All these singers just produce amazing quality to the R&B easy-going and sometimes break-down and cry moments in this album. There are 3 beautiful MVs that complement the songs of 2BiC’s current promotion track “Love Again” with Ailee, “Just Like Tonight” with Davichi and the heartbreaking “Made Another Woman Cry” featuring Minho from “The Sun and the Moon” and famous actor Joo Won.

M-tiful (엠티플) aka Kim Won Joon – All Right MV + Profile

If you’ve been watching KBS Music Bank lately you’ve probably noticed the increased number of bands performing. One of them that caught my eye is M-tiful with their catchy modern-lighthearted rock song “All Right”. Actually M-tiful is just the charismatic Choi Won Joon the actor/singer, known for dramas such as “Rainbow Romance” and “Rude Miss Youngae”. Viewers have also noticed inexplicitly that his band mates are foreigners!

“All Right” is written by hit lyricist Kim Hee Son and composed by Lee Won and nVyond of After School’s Bang and Son Dambi’s Queen. Despite that, it’s not a club song I swear, I really love the song. Kim Won Joon’s quite talented after enhancing his vocals and guitar skills, he debuts under the name M-tiful. Check the MV out and the short profile of Kim Won Joon.

After School's Flashback comeback!

Eight member group After School is back from their Japanese expedition with replacement of leader and a new member. The new leader Jung Ah now replaces the position of Gahee. A new member Gaeun joins other relatively new member E-Young in the new lineup.

After School’s Flashback is a big hit to the sexy concept and this is quite the effort especially while introducing new members. The song is a house track and has its ups and downs. I like the music interlude when each member pops up behind each other, however it was very hard for me to find Raina >.<.

Flashback MV

cr:loenent 

Tracklist:

01 – Rip Off (Korean version)

02 – Flashback

03 – Eyeline (Performed by Nana)

04 – Wristwatch

05 – Timeless (Performed by Jung Ah & Raina)

Gangkiz – MAMA Repackaged 1st Mini Album

Debuting with the mini album “We Became Gang” the new group from Core Contents Media’s wing are the mature ladies of Gangkiz of GM Entertainment. The group first came out with the single “Honey Honey” which is a spinoff of the beloved songs of T-ARA “Roly Poly” and “Lovey Dovey”, but with a more “mature” feel and performance.

MAMA is the follow up song for Gangkiz, it’s catchy but the MV is now downsized to the seven of these gorgeous model-like figures dancing in a white glossy room with dimming lights. I prefer 10x “Honey Honey” MV though.

MAMA MV:

 

cr:newkpopmelody03

Honey Honey is a more playful teasing song and I have to say one of the best K-Pop MVs directed! The MV is shot in several countries across Europe, including Italy, Switzerland, and Austria along with T-ARA’s Hyomin. (This was when T-ARA had their FREEDOM Euro-trip simulateneously). The overall cost of Gangkiz’s debut is 10 million yikes!

Honey Honey MV

cr:gmentertainment

Gangkiz is made up of members Jihyun, Sooeun, Haein, Somin, Eunbyul, Esther and Hyeji, ehh I guess I'll make a profile for them in a bit. Honey Honey MV looks like it’s based on an intriguing concept of gorgeous burn-out women, how kickass would it be if this MV was turned into a movie and the songs as the soundtrack, because all of the members of Gangkiz look like such good actresses and some of them are even actresses under CCM.

Check out the other videos of Gangkiz and T-ARA’s European trip in GM Entertainment’s Youtube channel, I like watching all the different cuts of the Honey Honey MV, where Hyomin and Jiyeon of T-ARA direct and play along with Gangkiz.

[PROFILE] B.A.P (Best.Absolute.Perfect)

How about we get to know the B.A.P boys before they make their trip into Malaysia? Here we go! B.A.P is an acronym for Best. Absolute. Perfect and how the six members all want to emulate each meaning of the three words as the best, absolute and perfect group.

From strong vocals to powerful rapping skills, B.A.P is best known for their rough and tough, `if you look at me in the eye I’ll crush you!’ image. Apparently bad boys really get the girls going. Even though they have just debuted this year they have a large following as newbies.

Debut Date: January 26, 2012

Official Fanclub: BABY

Company: TS Entertainment

They are in the same company as hip-hop duo Untouchable and girl group SECRET. Bang Yong Guk debuted first as a soloist featuring in SECRET’s Song Ji Eun’s solo song 미친거니(Going Crazy), then continuing with his own single “I Remember” featuring BEAST’s Yang Yo Seob. What good connections! Later on during exam time, to boost up student’s motivation in Korea, Bang Yong Gook teamed up with fellow member Zelo as a duo “BANG&ZELO”, whom are both rappers in the single “Never Give Up” featuring renowned choir group Heritage.

POWER MV:

cr: tsent2008

The concept of B.A.P is that they are six aliens from the Planet Mato, who invaded earth in order to save their dying planet. Each member represents one Mato or “bunny” as people perceive them to be lol. The concept was played out in their SBS MTV reality show “Ta-Dah its B.A.P”. There are several humourous comic strips of B.A.P’s Mato characters on the official Matoki facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialmatoki

B.A.P 1st Showcase in Malaysia yes sir!

So do you guys happen to be free on the 6th of July 2012? B.A.P’s coming down to Malaysia! Wake up! You need to see these Warriors because "we got the power!!"
