SNSD to dominate Japan!



It's finally released! I still prefer the Korean version though since I can speak Korean better than in Japanese but I do like the PV! The single shoots were odd but I guess it's better to introduce them that way. The girls look so different..I almost don't recognize Tiffany! Looks like everybody just get skinny..please take care of your health SNSD. My SooYoung look comfortable..and she should be as she had some experience in Japan.

I really like it's a little different concept. The outfits aren't strictly uniform. I don't like uniforms so yeah..I love this PV.

Baby V.O.X. forever!!



Baby V.O.X. reunites for member Lee Hee Jin's Musical

I do know some of the history regarding Baby V.O.X but honestly I never tried listening to their songs! Does this statement makes any sense? The reason I got to know about Baby V.O.X. is Yoon Eun Hye! She maybe famous for her roles in Goong (Princess Hours) and 1st shop for Coffee Prince, but she debuted as a member of Baby V.O.X.!

Oh yeah, Kpop sure loves their 3 letter abbreviation! 



Ermm..I can't help but to turn mute on this one..I watch it because it's so sweet they're still together! In their times, performance were actually recorded and lip-sync was norm. Now if somebody caught lipsync, it would made headlines!

Baby V.O.X. is quite famous, they even had a group name after them...which I forgot already because seriously, that's not cool. I mean, there's a lot of names out there and you have to copy???


Baby V.O.X. at Kim E Z (leader) wedding, Aren't they all so pretty!

Leader EZ was married on April this year! Congrats to the couple!

Here's Kan Mi Yeon singing crazy featuring Yoon Eun Hye dance! So sweet..I wish the rest followed too, but this is good enough!

A Rainbow

Kpop is moving really fast these days. I wished I have a remote control for it so I can hit pause button or slow it down. I'm barely keeping up with the new debuts.


Rainbow made a comeback with A. I'm not going to write MPV review of it so this is a preview of what I might give. The reason I don't want to write a review for them because I'm bitter over A'st1 disbandment. I don't want a bad MPV review.



I don't understand the song. It would be helpful if they included a storyline for this MV because I don't know what theme lies in this song. One of the girls had a freaky eye..ergh, it's close to being spooky! The pulling shirt dance is a bit odd in places, is the concept sexy? I might need to see the lyrics to grasp on what were they singing. I don't like the song but I'm curious about the lyrics.

Malaysian Kpop bloggers got recognize

As a part of Malaysian Kpop blogger, somehow this article made me smile.

READ HERE

I'm happy for them getting lots of reader. I can't help to think how badly I am in getting one. It doesn't matter though, I want blogging to remain a hobby that cheers me up when I'm down..

I get happy when someone leave me a quick comment, it meant a lot. I always reply and give my thanks. I hope I can stay the same. I try to change things up a little. I've been doing a bad job in writings lately and this isn't good. I really want to write something that I can be proud of. I love Kpop and blog very much I should be at least great.

I won't promise you anything, so I could only hope that my blog isn't leaving you disappointed.

Thanks again for dropping by my blog. A slight interest is all I need.

My thoughts on SS501




Was I shocked to know the result? not really, kinda expected it from DBSK situation similarities. Some press claim that they would probably pull a Shinhwa but I doubt it's going to start anytime soon since Kim Hyun Joong is busy with his drama.


I don't know if SS501 is more successful together or not, but one thing for sure Kim Hyun Joong is way popular now. All the best to Kim Hyun Joong, Park Jung Min, Heo Young Saeng, Kim Kyu Jong and Kim Hyung Joon. Whatever you do, I hope you can be successful.


I wonder what DSP is going to do..all they got now is Kara and Rainbow. If JangMoon is still on that company, I hope DSP will re-debut him soon! I hate DSP for disbanding A'ST1. All they need is an awesome song..I miss A'ST1 badly.

Drama Discuss : What I'm watching.

It's been a while since I last write Kdrama post. It takes a lot of dedication to write one..mine is just really boring, since I'm not a big fan. Anyway this is just an update of what I'm watching.


The current top drama in Korea, I missed a few episode (stupid decoder) but it's looks interesting. It's a romantic comedy that tells a story of a baker, it has the typical plot of a rich family and poor family. The Bread,Love and Dream is the follow up of Cinderella Stepsister. I didn't like CS because it such a confusing story.. This drama too is a little confusing but it has some familiar plot. I have a big problem with the set of this drama. It felt like it set in a old era of Korea but in some part it's very modern. Their outfits is odd in some place and it's bothering me. I wonder should I think this drama sets in an old era or modern? The main actors line up is interesting, it's my first watching all of them acting except Eugene.


Who would have thought watching ahjumma (married woman) would be this interesting?! This is a SBS drama, so I'm watching this through internet. I wouldn't mind bearing the buffering for this! I wanted to watch this mainly because of the theme, I'm a big fan of any music related drama so I made an effort to watch this. (yes, I hate buffer that much) The main character is played by the lovely Kim Jung Eun, whom I loved in Lovers' in Paris. Hong Ji Min is my favorite guest in Vitamin so I love her already, she's always funny and I have watched her in On Air. I've already watched Jang Shin Young acted for more than three months in the daily drama "The Road Home". Juni is just icing on the cake! I love her acting in Beethoven Virus and Iris, this should mean very good drama then!

Oh btw, did you notice there's TWO Gumiho related drama now? Omg, I don't think I'll be watching neither. I blame it on summer. One is on KBS, story on Gumiho's child and one is from SBS Gumiho's lover...who do I think will win? obviously SBS because Lee Seung Gi..the Mr 70% guy.

MPV Review : BoA Hurricane Venus

The title is rather interesting, who would have thought of "Hurricane Venus"? Before listening to the song, I would interpret it as something that describe her persona. I'm glad she didn't promote Game, I really don't like the song.

Music


After being disappointed with Game, I was surprised that I liked this, it has auto-tune and heavy bass. Probably it's because the combination works? The hook in the chorus is also surprisingly catchy. The lyrics is rather odd but I don't mind it much.

Level of Likeness : 8/10

Performance


It's with Dangerous performance. I wouldn't expect any less from someone called "The Kpop Queen" and BoA deliver it with such excellence! This is the result of 10 years people! Terrific dancer and flawless vocals, (btw, you should really check out the MR removed version) this Kpop at it's best. Welcome back to Korea BoA!

Level of Likeness : 10/10

Video


For BoA is famous for her dance moves, it is a necessary for her to have dancing in her videos. I love her outfit in promotion pictures but not so much on the video, some are just to weird for me. I think the CG effects are rather weak, because you know it's fake. The purpose of having effect is to WOW the audience not to show weakness. I'll stick at looking her performance then.

Level of Likeness : 7/10

Overall Success : A

Random Talk : Language barriers

I'm no professional music critic but basically, a good song has good rhythm, catchy, nice voices and good lyrics right? In my opinion, it's just catchy and good rhythm. I am just a regular listener, just like you. I don't care much about the technical parts of the song apart from the notorious auto-tune.

It suddenly occurs me that I don't exactly understand Kpop. I'm not Korean, remember? There's plenty of translations provided on the internet but I don't go searching for them once a new song released. I don't think it's important for me to search for it because all it matters that I like the song.  In addition to that, most Kpop contains lots of English..I basically could understand the song base on it's emotion.

While watching videos, I don't emphasize that I need to find an English translation. I'd be settle for HD videos and love it. After almost 3 years of loving Kpop, I could understand better in Kpop because I know basic Korean. What else is there to sing about anyway? It's always about LOVE. 

I don't find it weird that I love a song that I barely understand. It may be a wonder that I love Kpop better than local music, but hey.. I've tried. Local music is not for me, I do hope one day Malaysian artiste can gain more attention from fellow Malaysian. It's just not now.

What we need is something different..and please, I really don't mean a Lady Gaga.

Infinite She's Back



A good MV in my opinion has to have good colors, beautiful scene and especially a good storyline. This MV doesn't have a storyline but I love it. Can you guess why?

It's so adorable! hey, wait..the more I think about it..this MV reminds me of DBSK Picture of You MV! except this is more lively than that. Is that alcohol I see? uuuu..I hope the kids are not underage (wait, I just checked, there's 1993 kid)or maybe it's just non-alcoholic beverage. I love this MV so much because there's a beagle and golden retriever dogs! Dog lovers love this MV!
