Kill Bill, Twins, & More!

 I came home to check out what I have missed out on the web today and so stoked to find out that the Tasty will be having their comeback soon. I may have fangirled just a bit. Hehe. I'm sorry, but its an awesome duo... they can sing... and dance... they are shmmmmexy.... and TWINS!!!

 LMAO! Ok, I'm done. (For now :P )


Brown Eyed Girls' 'Kill Bill' music video was released...
and it is AH-MAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you liked the movie by Quentin Tarantino... and kpop... or either of the two, check it out below.

Definitely worth the viewing. I am a bit of a sucker to long MV with a good story to it.

2NE1's next song will be revealed August 7th.

Psy will release a new album this fall and he tweeted today that he has 3 songs completed.

Led Apple released their MV for 'LOVE (Gimme Kimi Love)'. I love the swing feel to this song. It reminds me a bit of their song 'Run To You'. Its just so perky and gives a warm, fun, happy feeling!

EXO has released both Chinese and Korean version teasers for their new single, 'Growl'... coming soon!

If I had to narrow down to a group with great choreographed and performed dance moves, then Infinite would be tops, for sure. Recently they released 'Destiny'.

 

Another group that would make that list would have to be Beast, who released 'Shadow'. I was a bit surprised by the dark MV from them, honestly.

Super Junior's Japanese single 'Hero'!!! 'Nuff said. I don't care that it is in Japanese! Its freaking SUPER JUNIOR!!!!! XD

VIXX just released a teaser. I can't tell much from it though. Its in reverse... They have had a Jekyl and Hyde theme going... from the video, I expect this song & MV to be a nice one. When I say 'nice', I mean... without the dark and dangerous feeling like the last one.
 
Kim Hyun Joong is 'Unbreakable'... This jam features Jay Park and if you are into hip-hop will keep your head rockin' to the beat.

BTS proves that they are 'Bulletproof'. This track puts even more bump in your trunk. I'm excited to come across a new kpop... erm... hip-hop/rap group.

M.I.B. will make a comeback soon, as well as... B.A.P who released their single, 'Hurricane' earlier this month.

Anybody who knows me at all, should know that I am always randomly searching for new music... I came across something just a little different that what I normally listen to.

I present to you...

If you like music with strings, violins to be exact...

this trio has a catchy tune that is definitely ear worthy.

Now I actually like the performance version better...... check it out... here!

January?! Time Flies When You're...

Busy?! Heck it just seems to fly regardless anymore. It has been a while since I have posted an update with the latest happenings and upcoming events, so I think I owe a long overdue post. Haha. So here goes...

Big Bang wraps up the Big Bang Alive Tour sponsored by Samsung. The group is continuously thanking fans throughout and after the tour, both by their tweets, facebook updates, and their youtube channel. Seungri must love his phone. He has taken a lot of great videos to share with his fans. My personal opinion is that he should have just documented the whole tour for us. LOL. Here is a sample of his crazy, fun footage:

I missed posting about it at the time, but CNBLUE released a new album. Unfortunately I have only heard two songs so far, I'm Sorry and Coffee Shop, but I really like them

NU'EST is scheduled for their comeback February 13th and have began releasing teaser photos. All I ask it that they PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't try to make Ren look super feminine. He is gorgeous, but I don't like when he has his hair down and cut in a feminine way. I like it pulled back or up. I really want to see a full length album from them soon.

 

NU'EST

Speaking of full length albums, there is another I am waiting for one to be released from...
What is going on with B.A.P? Member, Bang Yong Guk tweets a link to an audio clip via Tumblr. Is this part of the new project? Only time will tell. Its sounds a little creepy, but I like it. And yes fans, he really does have a Tumblr. Haha. Check it out here:

The beautiful and talented BoA released her MV for Disturbance, a choose your ending MV. I won't ruin it for you. I will just provide the link so that you can see for yourself. ^^ Although, I can't help but say that I love that Shinee's Taemin was chosen to do the MV with her. OMO

Super Junior-M released Korean version of Breakdown now available on iTunes. Anyone who knows me knows I am all over that, LOL

Jaejoong

Who needs iTunes to prove your popularity when you can sell completely out of your physical albums? Jaejoong's solo album has sold all of its initial copys (120,000 units) as fans show interest in his solo project. 20,000 more united are to be produced. Congrats to Jaejoong! After everything JYJ has been through, I am happy to see they are feeling the benefits of having a loyal fan base to support them in their careers. I still find myself watching the MV to Mine. It rocks!

Tasty

Other slated combacks: Tasty's comeback has been postponed by their label. The twins tweeted to fans to let them know not to worry. In March, U-KISS will have a comeback. No details for it yet. Se7en will release another single (Japanese) before enlistment in the military (Nooo DON'T GO!!! sorry, I had to).

In other news, The Grammys are coming up quickly. The Aziatix received an invite to a party before the awards. Psy looks to make his commercial during the Super Bowl the best of them by asking fans for their vote on Sunday.

More than one blog in a week, I'm on a roll. :P

Hope you enjoyed! Annyeong!

So much is going on and there is so much that I have missed updating on... I hope to get a recap written ASAP!

For The Boys

 

For the guys who appreciate a fine girl in heels and short shorts, this one's for you. I present Hyuna! 

She might look familiar... 
...the girl on the subway in Psy's 'Gangnam Style'.
 
This smexy vixen got her start with a group called the Wonder Girls. Upon seeing her there is no wonder where that name came from. The group holds a special place in my heart. Rewinding back about 5 years, out of boredom and the sudden urge to want to learn a few dance moves, I searched on YouTube for dance tutorials. I came across Wonder Girls' song 'Tell Me' and that was the beginning of KPop in my life.

Hyuna left the Wonder Girls within the 1st year after their debut. She is now a member of 4Minute and does solo activities too. Her MV for 'Change' caused controversy over the rating for viewers in 2010 do to her 'moves'.

KPoppers VS Beliebers

There is a war going on. This time its between fans of KPop and Justin Bieber fans. Comparisons between the two seem to be unending debate and it is leading to a war on YouTube. What is going down? Well, it seems that Beliebers are angry that a foreign genre is taking over their precious' online popularity. In an attempt to rocket JB to a top video position, they are flocking to his MV by the masses to gain views as quickly as possible to surpass... you guessed it ----------------------------->>>

In retaliation Kpop fans are doing the same to keep PSY on top. 

The funniest part to me is that PSY has a deal with JB's label now. Why compete?! It is two completely different genres of music, but yet the absurdity continues.

A Quick Rundown (Gangnam Style)

If you love the viral craze otherwise known as 'Gangnam Style' and are truly interested in everything else that K-pop has to offer, then my posts and blog may be the place for you (or not). 

I figure since not everyone is familiar with KPop (NOOB) and the lingo... names or groups, fandoms, and whatnot, that I would provide a brief tutorial into the world of KPop.(Keep reading, there is a funny video at the end)

There is an ever growing number of groups in K-Pop. Each one has a name for their fans:

2NE1-Blackjack
2PM-HOTTEST
B2ST-B2UTY
Big Bang-V.I.P
LED Apple - L.E.D.A
MBLAQ - A+
Se7en - Lucky Se7en
SHINee - SHINee World (Shawol)
Super Junior - E.L.F
TVXQ/DBSK - Cassiopeia
U-KISS - Kiss Me

And that is just the beginning.
