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.

2012 MAMAs

Ok, so after quite a hiatus from blogging I am back. The holiday time is such a busy time for me, so please accept my apology for the lack thereof.

I got up before the crack of dawn so I could watch the live broadcast online of the MAMAs (MNet Asian Music Awards) for those who don't know, it is like the VMA or MTV music awards of Asia. The biggest award event of the year for these artist.

Four and a half hours later, here I am. For anyone who is interested in watching they are replaying the awards now... wish I would have known that... I would have watched the replay and gotten more sleep haha. Here is the link to watch the 2012MAMA performances. Not only will you see some great K-pop performances, but also performances by Adam Lambert and B.o.B.

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

KCON '12

So you don't know what KCON is? Would you believe me if I told you it was the first ever convention for ALL THINGS HALLYU. And... for K-pop fans that was the place to be on October 13th in Irvine California! Looks like I will be making plans to try to go to KCON '13 in the future. Hehe.
