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!

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.

Monday Music Battle

Today I present:

GIRLS GENERATION VS KE$HA

 

Rumor has it that the song was given to Ke$ha but was never officially released, it was leaked. SNSD/Girls Generation released it. Check out both versions here and feel free to post your comments.

INCREDIBLE (Part Deux)

Melon Premiere LIVE SHOWCASE XIA INCREDIBLE was aired.

It is great to see Junsu's performances to be aired live for all to see. There were almost 20,000 viewers via Leon's YouTube channel alone. The stage lights up as Tallentellegra is the opening song.

That performance was followed by a photo slideshow with behind the scenes of the new album concept's photoshoot and of the 11am music video.

A live performance of 11am followed. Such a beautiful song... starting out in acapella joined by the piano. The performance of the song is very emotional and moving.

Junsu took a break to speak to the audience about the fun and exciting concept for his new album. It has been about a year since his last one. He mentioned that people were watching from overseas and showed how thankful he was by saying thank you in various languages, from Chinese to German.

The audience seemed on the edge of their seat as he talked about the kissing scene in the music video for 'Incredible'. Haha. He said that if was just business and he only pretended to kiss. The video was filmed as a party concept with American dancers.

Next was the performance of Sorry... or Apology (as it is listed in the iTunes tracklisting).

The music video for Incredible was played followed by a live performance of the song. Junsu wore the fun red suit jacket from the video. It looks like he is having so much fun performing for everyone. The fans joined him in singing the 'Ohhhhhhhh...' part of the song while waving their hands in the air.

The showcase was 30 minutes long... which was actually quite shorter than I had expected, but understandable. This was the debut performance for his new album and you want to keep everything fresh and exciting during promotions for it. The live showcase was not disappointing.

If you would like to see the replay of the showcase, it will be made available both on melon.com and Leon's YouTube channel. I will post the replay once it is made available. ^^

How many people reading this watched the showcase? Feel free to comment on it and also on the mv and fun concept for his new album!!!

I may or may not have fangirled when the video was released as I was online. :P
(Don't judge me)

Falling In Love (Touch Me Over Here)

Here is a brief rundown of some recent and upcoming haps in Kpop.


2NE1 released Falling In Love, July 8th. I watched the MV right after its release and I must say I absolutely love it.

FYI, those of you who aren't all that familiar with Kpop but have listened to will.i.am's #willpower... Have you listened to 'Gettin' Dumb'? That song features CL of 2NE1... who also came out with a solo, 'Baddest Female'. CL can go hard!

Check out 2NE1's MV for 'Falling In Love'

Teen Top celebrated their 3rd anniversary with CLAP ENCORE! Including a reaction video of them watching their MV. I seriously think this is one of the most hyper groups. They are fun to watch.

Jay Park released his mini album, I Like 2 Party, July 10th. The title track was featured in the Korean release of the Will and Jaden Smith movie, After Earth.




CN Blue plans their comeback July 31st.

August 18 is G-Dragon's birthday... and did someone say new album?! Of course! What a great way to celebrate.

KCON '13 is coming up next month. I will post details about it soon.

Members of Super Junior are in Hawaii. Siwon has posted photos via Twitter and Sungmin is seen with him on the beach both holding surf boards. I am so glad that these guys are enjoying their time.

Donghae made a short video and was posted on SM Entertainment's YouTube channel. A few other videos had been posted to the channel leading some to think Donghae has hacked SM's account to post his clips. Haha :P If that is the case, let's hope that it continues.

Pre-July Recap

Its been a while since I have done a long update of what is going on in k-pop. So here it goes. Ready?!

SM Entertainment's 12 member group, EXO, which debuted.... um, well it was a long time ago, so we won't go there. All I can say is the build up for their debut (with about 24 teaser clips)drove kpoppers crazy... many pre-fans were impatient to see these guys. I am hoping that SM has learned from that dreadful experience since they just did the 1 teaser and then MV release this time around for EXO's 1st full Album titled 'XOXO' (Hugs&Kisses).
The MV for their single, 'Wolf', was released May 30th. If you happen to come across some people running around pronouncing 'wolf' as 'oolf' then you probably just ran across an EXO fan. :P



If you read my post from June 23rd, then you should know that I love and support Led Apple. I think they are an amazing group full of talented guys. Yesterday was their 1000th day since their debut!!!! YAY!!! They are also halfway through their Music Note series on their Youtube channel.


Recently the 4 members of SISTAR released their 2nd full album, Give It To Me.Shortly after the MV for SISTAR's title song was released (shown above), After School came out with their single and MV for 'First Love'. If you want to see some talented pole dancing in a music video (yes, I said pole dancing) get down, get funky and go watch. Hehe.

BTS, a 7 member hip hop group, just debuted last month with their song '2 Cool 4 Skool'. Check out their MV for No More Dream. Super Junior- M member, Henry recently debuted as a solo artist with his album, Trap.

No Min Woo originally debuted as the drummer for TRAX as Rose. He left the group after 2 years and has gone solo with his 1st single album 'ICONIC OH DISCO ROCKSTAR'. The album is self produced from the music, fashion and the design. I am happy to see him again. I am a big fan of TRAX and its members. I think his MV is fun and catchy... and colorful. It reminds me of the 80s, haha.


B.A.P released 'Coffee Shop', a ballad, on July 2nd. These guys are so versatile in their music. I, I can't even... I'm speechless after listening...

Xia, Kim Junsu of JYJ, released his 1st single from his 2nd solo album 11am. Xia sings to the sounds of nature in the MV. The actual release song on iTunes isn't that way (yes, I downloaded it already ^.^ ).


Look for more info to come for the month of July on upcoming haps in the k-pop world!!!

Annyeong!
