Especially the one who attended Shout Awards 2012, I hate you all.

Not even going to bother naming that one so called Malaysian artiste who publicly express Kpop hate. I don't even know how you look like. BURNED!
우리 Kpop 아이돌, Nu'est and Vixx..청말 미안해요.

지코 x 화영
Hopefully the spelling is right, but it's Zico and Hwayoung
I really think that no breaking news can make me shock after Lee Ji Ah-Seo TaiJi scandal.. Especially so since I read gossip forum everyday. It's kind of surprising because this coupling never surface in the forum. It's weird that the company denied but allkpop went ahead and publish it.
My internet is slow so I couldn't read much international reaction, I'm guessing people are talking about it but not to the point of IU-Eunhyuk scandal. My reaction? 멍...(blank)
I don't care much about the both of them.. I never really like Block B stuffs, or cared about Hwayoung apart from her earlier scandal. I thought this is a decent couple since both are rappers. Perhaps Hwayoung is making music with Zico. Lol
I really do hope this turns for the better for Block B. I really don't know what's up with their image. They only debuted last year but encounter so many troubles.

Quick blog
Think this post as a longer version of tweeting. Haha. Follow me @HallyuSurfer for more updates.
On MAMA 2012
I really hope the judges won't mess up. I am not really concern about the other category, but I really want Verbal Jint to win! Right now LeeSsang is in the lead, I am well aware that this guys are the top in Hip Hop scene but something tells me that most international voters vote for them because of their variety shows! I am not doubting their talent. I do know this duo are great, but I seriously wonder if they gave any chance to the others. I do love Epik High, but again.. I feel like YG stan voted for them. Verbal Jint's You deserve better is my favorite track of the year..I just don't know what to say more.
On Psy
Congrats on your recent win at the EMA, on that same note, congrats to forever SuJu member, Han Geng for winning! Now that's done. Gosh, when is he going to stop winning on Music Bank? Now I'm starting to think maybe Music Bank should limit numbers of winning. Gangnam style is so not my style. I like the song, but not love it. I am so afraid that this song will be the song that represent Korea. I'm starting to see it everywhere, like non entertainment related Korean article must at least mention Gangnam. There is much more to Kpop than just Gangnam Style.
On Uhm Tae Woong
OMGGGG I have been waiting for this day! I missed Sugeun's wedding and I really hope to see 1N2D member wedding! That if he wants to show it on TV. Please, Uhm PD! Hopefully at his wedding, season 1 cast will join for the celebration. I am excited for this!
My top 5 Kpop right now
1. Verbal Jint's You Look Good
2. B.A.P. Stop It
3. Ailee I will Show you
4. Miss A I don't Need a Man
5. Phantom Where You At?
I have yet to listen to more VJ, it's hard because I just want to keep on replay the songs I like..

What Drama I am watching now
I am writing this post for myself, I am not the biggest Kdrama fan so I just write to remind of the drama I have watch, Currently I am watching Oohlala Spouses, Nice Guy and My Daughter Seoyoung. Past drama I am currently watching is Love and Marriage and Smile, Mom. SPOILERS are ahead.
Oohlala Spouses just started not long on KBSWorld, so far I am not sure what to feel about it. I dislike cheating storyline. I did like the first episode but as soon they change soul..I sort of hate Kim Jung Eun and Shin Hyun Joon over acting. Not saying they're bad actors.. It's just weird. i do like when they act as the original character, if it weren't for that.. I might not watch it at all. I am hoping this drama doesn't end up like Big. Please give us what we want writer!!
Song Joong Ki!! I love this pretty boy. I don't exactly like his character in Nice Guy, but I do like the fact he is portrayed as a smart guy. I think what made me love this drama is badass Moon Chae Won. I have this sense of pride watching her be so rude and arrogant, yeah I love strong woman. Currently she lost her memory and I am sad, I want her to be badass again soon. I do love the side story between Jae Gil and Kang Choco. I look forward to their scene the most.
I love the production team of My Daughter Seoyoung but I think I have really high hopes. I am surprise that I am alone in this opinion, so far everyone seems to love the drama. I think I am seeking for something that would warm up my heart but this drama has this gloomy cloud overhead. I dislike the annoying Hojong scene.. Oh goodness, I squirms every time she's on. It's still early to tell whether I like or not, but if the main couple had a huge fight, I might stop watching.
Love and Marriage is a huge surprise for me.. I seem to like this drama more than I expected. Maybe it's Kim Ji Hoon. Yeah, it's his very sweet smile. It's a light drama, like you don't need to think and just enjoy the slow ride. It's sort of weird to watch the drama now, because all the cast are using 2G phones lol. Kim Ji Hoon~!
I don't really know why I am watching Smile Mom. I was really bored. I don't really follow the drama, if it's on TV.. Then I watch it. I already read some infos, so I am just interested to watch the character development. I'd watch it but I can drop it anytime.

Lee Hyuk Jae X Lee Ji Eun
The title is Super Junior's EunHyuk and Nation's Little Sister IU's real name.
My initial response is "ooohh. Cool story bro" I was very chill when I read the article this morning. The article was LOEN respond, it seems like the decent statement that I can agree on so I moved on. I had no idea it was big news until I read my twitter timeline!
When I found out that Shin Dong had a girlfriend, I was unhappy like Korean ELF would be. I was surprise that international fans were supportive. When JunHyung and Hara news broke, I was furious. I even predicted they won't last.. Heh, you will never know for sure. However this time around I was like "oh okay, IU and Eunhyuk? Oh.." I didn't have any emotion about it.
Probably I'm no longer SuJu bias. I always say SuJu is my bias out of obligation, but how could I not? SuJu is always the reason I got into Kpop. Lately I don't know what my boys schedules is like, I don't even know the new facts anymore, my knowledge is all about the history. Truthfully, I think my bias self lost since KiBum stop appearing. IU is one of the debuts I have followed from the beginning, I'm not a fan though. She's really like a sister that I've seen growing up.
There is an Allkpop forum that I visit at least few times a week. I posted the links before, and the rumors of IU and Eunhyuk was not something new to me. Of course, back then I didn't really believe since it is a gossip forum, and someone did claim it was false.
It's hard to judge properly at the picture, when every media calling it scandal. It is as if it's a leaked picture, no matter how you see it.. It looked scandalous eventhough it may be just a normal pictures of two people. I'd say they did date but now are no longer together. Why and how the picture got up in the internet, my guess is the same as your's.
Now that I'm thinking, wow. 7 years apart. Eunhyuk looked like he was topless and drunk. Our nation (ahem, I'm speaking in Korean terms..) little sister is so going to be in trouble. Anyway SM didn't give any response. I guess that's good since there's a possibility that there would have a contradicting statement, after all it is IU who upload the picture.

I'm loving Miss A I Don't need A Man
Their past songs were not something that I would like at first listen.. In fact, I still don't like Touch. Goodbye Baby was the only one I really did like. I only got to like their song because of their choreography.
I don't need a Man is special, I like it at first listen. I watch their performance in Music Bank and it was good.. I don't really fancy the choreography but I love the fluffy (my favorite word these days heh,) atmosphere of the performance. I like when performers smile on stage, that's my kind of stage. I don't like the MV.. I can't finish it.
Although I do love the fluffy feel of the song.. I thought it was off when it was combine with the lyrics. When I think of Female athemns, it always have a strong vibe which is like the opposite of what they're doing now. The message of being independent woman doesn't have impact, rather like "here I am telling you a serious message in a cute manner". Otherwise, they could have chosen "cheeky" concept.
I was curious on who wrote it.. It was none other than JYP himself, like I should have known. It explain everything. Well, I am not sure if the other female athemn is written by females only but his interpretation of how women of the world feel about not needing a man lacks sincerity. I have read a couple of articles that their album is written based on Destiny Child/Beyonce.. It sort of a great idea but remember that you are bound to be compared to the original.. I wonder what would Beyonce herself thinks of that idea.
Despite having this huge hole, in my opinion..especially so because it's suppose to be female athemn. I am loving the song and the fluffy stage, I am just going to forget it supposed to be a female athemn and just enjoy the music..which is tough when the chorus is so obvious with "I don't need a Man"

Variety guide : One Night Two Days (1N2D)
Welcome to the first ever "Variety Guide" post! I have always been relunctant to wrote variety show post because it's not easy. Heck, I don't know if I could write more, but I'll try my best. For my first post, I choose to write 1N2D because it's my favorite variety show!
The show is a part of the KBS Happy Sunday line up together with Qualification of Men. The current cast member is Kim Seung Woo, Uhm Tae Woong, Lee Su Geun, Cha Tae Hyun, Sung Si Kyung, Kim Jong Min and Joo Won. The main MC is Lee Su Geun a former comedian on KBS Gag Concert. There are four actors, (Kim Seung Woo, Uhm Tae Woong, Cha Tae Hyun and Joo Won) and two singers (Sung Si Kyung and Kim Jong Min of Koyote).
The 7 members travels all over Korea in the course of two days and one night, hence the name, playing various games called bokbulbok (rough trans: luck or no luck) to decide on Lunch, Dinner or sleeping arrangement. The menu is usually the specialty of the area they travelled, if they lose they only got miserable menu. Sleeping arrangement is either inside or outside. Although they did outside before, with sleeping in tents vs sleeping without tent. The worst is during winter, I've seen them sleeping outside while it was snowing! The next day, usually it's a game between breakfast or no breakfast, but the lately it's who goes home early or later. At times, when the PD (Program Director) feels evil, they played bokbulbok for punishment, doing random odd jobs like collecting clams, fishing or picking apples for an amount of time or based on quantity.
The important thing about variety show is to established a character, which makes the whole show more interesting, as reaction is variety show gold.
Kim Seung Woo is the oldest member, he is married to Kim Nam Joo, an actress who made an appearance once. He is also the main MC of Win Win (which Lee Su Geun co-host) but he is also known as the actor in Iris. He's terrible in games, but is very determine to win. He often said that he is a picky eater but he eats a lot. With his age, he often plays the role of the leader or eldest brother.
The man of the hour, Uhm Tae Woong recently announce that he is getting married with a baby on the way. This will change his image totally! Anyway, he's good with quiz but terrible in games especially with numbers. He is hardworking, anything that requires effort and strength, he's the guy. Which comes in handy to endure punishment. While he is goofy in this show, he is a totally charismatic actor, with success of his film (Introduction to Architecture 101) and drama (The Equator Man) He is a dog lover and his best friend is Lee Seon Kyun.
The one who provides the most laughter, Lee Su Geun is the comedian turned MC. He is the original member from the beginning along with Kim Jong Min. He is bad with quiz but has one of the highest chance of winning game, he is quick on his feets and known to cheat. He is married with two kids, his wife is known to prepare great dosirak (lunch box) and he is good with kids.
Who hasn't watched Cha Tae Hyun act? This guy is considered A-List actor! Just like the character he played, he is a funny guy. He complains a lot on the show but he's made for TV. He is known as the unlucky guy.. Which means he always loses. Also on team Married, he married his high school sweetheart and his children is adorable!
"Butter 왕자" (Prince) as he is called, due to his buttery greasy voice, Sung Si Kyung has the image of a good student. He is fluent in English which he learned by himself. He is a tall big guy, which means his appetite is enormous. He gets super cranky if he doesn't get food. He may be from Korea University, he's extremely cautious of quiz. Other than that, he's plays well in games. Which makes the members happy because he's scary when hungry and he doesn't fit most sleeping bag. Lol
The returning member, Kim Jong Min endured a lot on this show. He was one of the original member, he was enlisted to military (all healthy Korean men are complusory to join) in the mid of the show. As soon he was discharge, he was dragged literally into the show. They say military changed a man, and it shows. He didn't live up to the expectation and was heavily criticized. He gain a character, so it's all good now. He is not good with words.. Any game requires talking, he's a sure loser. He is a former gymnastic and background dancer, so he's has better chance in athletics.
GAKSITALL!!! Joo Won is a superb actor, the one to watch! All his drama has been a huge hit and he is handsome! I've watch him act before but I didn't really know what to expect from him. He is surprisingly cute! Unlike Lee Seung Gi, he play the magnae (youngest) role well, he is afraid of bugs and eats like a child. He is the icon of bromance of the show. He is very close with TaeWoong since they're from the same agency but Sung Si Kyung is lovey dovey with him too. Those two are so cute together.
For more infos, Wiki is a good start. If you would like to read recaps, the lovely writers of Dramabeans.com has them on weekly! Some old episodes can be found on boosaysharingiscaring.com

How Kpop Change my Life
Over the two years (2010-2011).. I guess I hit that Kpop slump. I kept on thinking "should I quit Kpop?" or "why am I still a Kpop fan".. You may think it's silly but to most die hard Kpop fans can agree with me that Kpop is not a merely a music genre, it's a lifestyle.
Now now, please don't misunderstand me that I regard Kpop is a religion.. It's not like that at all.. It's just a natural reaction similarly to football (soccer) fans or otaku. Though I won't deny the fact they are fans who think otherwise..lol
Since 2006, now my 6th year being a Kpop fan, I guess there is no turning back and only moving forward. I feel good about being a Kpop fan, not that I was good hiding it. I don't feel ashamed being a Kpop fan, but I sure looked silly. I am such a fangirl. I have done all of the following literally; doing Korean gesture..lol bbuing bbuing is so ridiculously adorable, kill me now. Jumping up and down when my idols won the charts and wave side to side, scream and fanchants during a performance.. That's why I never watch anything Korean with my family.. I looked like a 바보!
Of course there's the language, I can roughly understand here and there, not fluent.. But definitely a lot of improvements! My reactions are usually in Korean such as Aish, eh, etc and I try to tweet in Korean sometimes but I am still bad at spelling but you know what, so is Koreans themselves! That's why Google translate for Korean is not accurate. Recently the drama "Nice Guy" had spelling mistake on their title. Hangul is a little complicated. Plus, there's so many ways to express yourself..but that's a different post.
I like individuality but it's hard when you're a kpop fan. I have the need to be all girly but yeah, that's a baby step thing. Biggest change, I laugh a lot more now. I used to be the person without emotions, I never cried while watching movie or stuffs like that... I remembered the biggest laugh I ever had was while watching Super Junior shows, where I was holding on to my stomach, literally rolling down the floor. It hit me, wow.. Nothing has ever made me laugh this much.
Suddenly life has become more meaningful~! Yeah I'm telling in a joking manner but it's true. I feel that Kpop can cure my sadness. I feel more joyful about looking forward the next day ( way too many awesome Korean programs) and I smile more. :D
Now now, please don't misunderstand me that I regard Kpop is a religion.. It's not like that at all.. It's just a natural reaction similarly to football (soccer) fans or otaku. Though I won't deny the fact they are fans who think otherwise..lol

I remembered the biggest laugh I ever had was while watching Super Junior shows, where I was holding on to my stomach, literally rolling down the floor. It hit me, wow.. Nothing has ever made me laugh this much.
Suddenly life has become more meaningful~! Yeah I'm telling in a joking manner but it's true. I feel that Kpop can cure my sadness. I feel more joyful about looking forward the next day ( way too many awesome Korean programs) and I smile more. :D

Idol Analysis : B.A.P.
Based on my knowledge, I don't think there's ever a rookie who worked as hard as BAP! A total of 6 songs were promoted this year! I'm very impress on what TSE has done with this group, but seriously, I think they're overworked! Magnae Zelo is still growing, I hope you gave them enough rest when Stop It promotion ends. Let's focus on Secret okay? I miss Untouchable too.. i think they'll return next year TSE fighting!
I wasn't sure if I was going to watch Stop it MV because I read it's 90's music inspired. I'm a fan of 90's music but I'm not liking the idea of bringing back old genre kind of thing..Retro song is always fun (nobody, roly poly, twinkle, madonna) but it gets stale quick.
What do ya know, as soon as I click play, I love it! I wonder if it's the combination of beautiful video (the colors are soo pretty!) and fun music or just the bright concept, I felt so happy to play the video.
I'm thankful that I've learn their names before this promotion starts, they're blond again!! I only started learning their names while watching their weekly idol episodes. I already know Bang Yong Guk, Zelo and HimChan, so I only had to learn 3 names. They actually had different features..but it can be confusing when they shared the same hairstyle.. good luck if you're a new fan! Let me help you for a bit, Bang Yong Guk is the main actor, DaeHyun is the one who drives the car, Zelo and JongUp in the classroom, curly hair is Zelo...Young Jae is the one with flowers and HimChan kinda slap the girl.
I'm all for cutesy video but some fans didn't like it too much.. During Crash promotion it's a little weird because they were all badass in previous 3 promotion.. But instead of seeing it as cutesy, I thought they were having fun. I think they are only cutesy in the video, I am expecting another round of fun performance. Musically I think they have showcase their true self even if it's a different concept.
I would rank BAP songs as follows, Warrior> Stop It> No Mercy > Crash> Power > Secret Love
Yes Sir!
P/s initially I wrote this for "I'm loving/I'm hating" post but I thought it's more like idol analysis kind of post so hence the confusing post. Will edit when feel like it. Lol

SM TSE Brand New Music
Those are the name of my favorite entertainment company, SM Town will always remain no1 in my heart and definitely on my bucket list is to watch SM Town concert tour live! My first love begins with SM Town Summer/Winter MV.. Gosh bring them back SM!! Anyway SM is huge company right now with lots of A list stars from Variety, Drama and Movie joining SM! Welcome to SM TOWN! I dare to say this, without SM, Kpop will never be the same. Kpop Hallyu begins with SM!
Back when I first started, I like JYP and YG too but times have change, I no longer support JYP after the whole 2PM Jaebum incident.. I still like YG artiste, but not as much as before. YG Family fans are way dedicated than I am..
I did like "in the Cube" (lol JunHyung) for a while, but naah.. They don't really have promotion overlapped, so I don't see interaction that often..or simply I don't care. I'm more interested in Five girls (G.na, Yoobin, Uee, HyoSung and Jiwon) or JunHara or MBLAQBeast.
I've been a fan of TSE ever since Untouchable debut. I like that the management in TSE give full control to Untouchable regarding their music, that's why Untouchable is my bias duo! I've been following Secret even before their debut, and now with BAP.. This company is just getting started!
Lately I'm crazy over Phantom and Verbal Jint which hails from Brand New Music! Not a day gone without listening to them! I'm just starting to like this company but I regularly read tweets by @BN_Music. Be sure to vote for Verbal Jint and Sanchez for Best Rap Performance and Song of the Year at MAMA 2012 for the song "You Deserved Better" at http://mama.interest.me/

Best New Male Artist
B.A.P
EXO-K
Busker Busker

Album review : Phantom's Phantom City
Phantom City
Track list
01. Phantom City (feat. 애즈원)[As One]
02. Burning
03. Homeground (feat. 버벌진트, 스윙스)[Verbal Jint,Swings]
04. 미역국 [Seaweed Soup]
05. 어딘데? [Where You At?]
06. Ice
07. 얼굴 뚫어지겠다 (Re-Mastering ver.)[Hole In Your Face]
08. Burning (inst.)
I tweeted about Phantom several times. That means, I am in love with their stuffs. Oh gosh, what a great break from the usual Kpop. I am not the biggest hip hop fan but somehow I really like K Hip Hop. I can't really pinpoint when I know this group but heck let's just talk about music on this post.
1. Oh man, having announcers in songs is not something new anymore. I like it makes it more interesting but you know "been there, done that". As one is a duo that you can instantly recognize because of their signature voices. I like it, but I get dizzy whenever I tried to follow their style lol. They kinda not needed in the song, because all they did was "Phantom City, Phantom City babe, every city we go, we bring them down" oh gosh the English sound off but I guess it's cool to have a break.
2. I have to admit that I was less impressed with Burning when I first heard/saw it because I had major expectation. I was sooo crazily in love with Sanchez featuring on Verbal Jint's "You Deserved Better" (which I already reviewed) and I thought this song did not served justice to Sanchez amazing vocals. Of course, this song grows on me, like who am I kidding? This is the perfect mainstream song. I don't even think I'm making sense. Well, the other songs are kind of weak for mainstream. So good choice as promotion song!
3. This song featured Verbal Jint and Swings. I'm a sucka for hometown. I love people who give shout outs to their hometown because hometown is awesome! no? It's like learning how Phantom come about. All of them are proud of their hometown and that's like something I highly respect. Kolopis and Miri FTW!!
4. Ahem. Since my birthday is coming very soon...Happy Birthday to ME! I am going to play this song all day on 3rd October. The lyrics of this song is so cute and adorable. Seaweed Soup is usually served to the birthday girl/boy in Korean culture, um, do google for more info. Oh do I have to say I love the piano intro since that's like in every review? I just, want to say thank you to Phantom for creating for a great birthday song. You don't have to give me anything, all I need is this song. :D Kiggen voice in this song is sooo good. I like the random adlib here and there. It makes the song very personal.
5. Another sweet song..oh my heart can't take it. I'm here!! HanHae really shines in this song. Oh gosh..I need to pinch something because this is just too sweet. Kiggen's part is my favorite part, very masculine in this fluffy song. What can I complain about this song? Nothing. This song is so much love. Sanchez, you can sing anything and I'll just listen to you. Heck join Immortal song 2. Pretty please?
6. Ice..is fun and exciting but not my style of song. It may sound familiar because it sample another song. It sounded very retro..Retro songs is kind of hard to like...it sound a lot cheesy. It's just me folks. Even though I don't like it, it's not a bad track at all. I think it's a great thing that they include this song because it just show that this group can be versatile.
7. I need to include the above video, it's just like a video worthy more clicks than PSY Gangnam Style. Okay I'm entering a dangerous territory, but it's freaking good! I love this song way too much. JYP whisper? Pfft. Phantom whisper is EPIK. I'm not a lyricist, but I don't think the lyrics are creepy.. Basically it meant that he looked at her photo all the time, so he wonders if her face has hole because of it..okay that sound creepy but it's a great addictive song that can make you hit that replay button over and over. Sanchez vocals in this song is damn good but my favorite part is HanHae's, his voice is awesome! Heck even Kiggen sounded great.

I tweeted about Phantom several times. That means, I am in love with their stuffs. Oh gosh, what a great break from the usual Kpop. I am not the biggest hip hop fan but somehow I really like K Hip Hop. I can't really pinpoint when I know this group but heck let's just talk about music on this post.
1. Oh man, having announcers in songs is not something new anymore. I like it makes it more interesting but you know "been there, done that". As one is a duo that you can instantly recognize because of their signature voices. I like it, but I get dizzy whenever I tried to follow their style lol. They kinda not needed in the song, because all they did was "Phantom City, Phantom City babe, every city we go, we bring them down" oh gosh the English sound off but I guess it's cool to have a break.
2. I have to admit that I was less impressed with Burning when I first heard/saw it because I had major expectation. I was sooo crazily in love with Sanchez featuring on Verbal Jint's "You Deserved Better" (which I already reviewed) and I thought this song did not served justice to Sanchez amazing vocals. Of course, this song grows on me, like who am I kidding? This is the perfect mainstream song. I don't even think I'm making sense. Well, the other songs are kind of weak for mainstream. So good choice as promotion song!
3. This song featured Verbal Jint and Swings. I'm a sucka for hometown. I love people who give shout outs to their hometown because hometown is awesome! no? It's like learning how Phantom come about. All of them are proud of their hometown and that's like something I highly respect. Kolopis and Miri FTW!!
4. Ahem. Since my birthday is coming very soon...Happy Birthday to ME! I am going to play this song all day on 3rd October. The lyrics of this song is so cute and adorable. Seaweed Soup is usually served to the birthday girl/boy in Korean culture, um, do google for more info. Oh do I have to say I love the piano intro since that's like in every review? I just, want to say thank you to Phantom for creating for a great birthday song. You don't have to give me anything, all I need is this song. :D Kiggen voice in this song is sooo good. I like the random adlib here and there. It makes the song very personal.
5. Another sweet song..oh my heart can't take it. I'm here!! HanHae really shines in this song. Oh gosh..I need to pinch something because this is just too sweet. Kiggen's part is my favorite part, very masculine in this fluffy song. What can I complain about this song? Nothing. This song is so much love. Sanchez, you can sing anything and I'll just listen to you. Heck join Immortal song 2. Pretty please?
6. Ice..is fun and exciting but not my style of song. It may sound familiar because it sample another song. It sounded very retro..Retro songs is kind of hard to like...it sound a lot cheesy. It's just me folks. Even though I don't like it, it's not a bad track at all. I think it's a great thing that they include this song because it just show that this group can be versatile.
7. I need to include the above video, it's just like a video worthy more clicks than PSY Gangnam Style. Okay I'm entering a dangerous territory, but it's freaking good! I love this song way too much. JYP whisper? Pfft. Phantom whisper is EPIK. I'm not a lyricist, but I don't think the lyrics are creepy.. Basically it meant that he looked at her photo all the time, so he wonders if her face has hole because of it..okay that sound creepy but it's a great addictive song that can make you hit that replay button over and over. Sanchez vocals in this song is damn good but my favorite part is HanHae's, his voice is awesome! Heck even Kiggen sounded great.

A kdrama update
I've been wanting to post on KDrama but haven't got the chance because I was busy. The dramas that I have watched recently are Big, Ghost and The Chaser...let me start in order.
Big gave me nothing but BIG disappointment, lol my attempt with puns.. Either I had high hopes because it was written by Hong Sisters..or it was just bad. I like to think it was just bad. I love the cast, Lee Min Jung, Gong Yoo, Shin and Suzy did a good job potraying their characters. Which usually is enough for me, since Gong Yoo is dreamy..but no I just hate the story.
It's like dream high 2.. Great characters but major fail in plots. It just do not connect well. Frankly I don't even remember the story because I cannot relate to it. Everything about it don't sit well with me especially the possible of cheating story..
I loved Ghost! I thought it's another body swaping story but it's not! Instead of focusing on how Park Ki Young took Kim Woo Hyun identity, it focuses on the conspiracy. While we already know who's the murderer, I am so intrigue with how he did it. It's nothing revolutionary but the precaution measure he did was exceptional. Every episode I wondered how??? And the answers are given. I hate seeing several characters died and Jo Hyun Min was a heartless man. Love the ending... I mean between Mad Cow and Potato face... I wished So Ji Sub and Lee Yeon Hee kissed... What a waste between two incredible looking people. *wink
No doubt I am rooting for The Chaser to sweep all the awards at the end of the year. I love every single episode. I love all the actors and the characters. There is absolutely nothing I would change. I even don't mind the lack of romance because all I wanted is Baek Soo Jung justice! Wait, I remember something.. i would want to change PK Joon actor. He doesn't look like the typical idol. Like come on la...you don't have to pick an actual idol but at least pick someone who looks like one! His acting is good but no one in Kpop looks like him.
All these dramas had ended. Currently I am onlywatching SM's drama To the Beautiful you because HaeunDae Lover is not my style..it's supposedly funny but I find it forceful. Faith is a fusion drama.. I don't know la..I think I'll skip that one just because. My husband got a family has ended in Korea...i watched unsubbed version on YT. I'll be waiting for KBSWorld though just to relive it. i'll be so sad. Family dramas is just so heartwarming!!

I'm loving Verbal Jint feat Sanchez You Deserve Better
I am crazy over this song. So crazy, I probably used up all my internet data on this song. What I don't like in this song? Nothing. It's flawless in my book. The MV? Even better! It's not like a typical Korean MV. it has a clever interpretation and has it's quirks.
Let's start with the composition. The lovely guitar in the beginning, then we started off with Sanchez beautiful vocal. What is not making you stay to listen more. Verbal Jint raps is good. It's not those fast talking raps...it actually has rhythm. Lyrics, poetic~! It's about domestic violence..Verbal Jint is telling the victim that they are pretty enough to move on and that they deserved better than this. I've read a couple stories regarding victims of domestic violence, I notice the common reason they stayed in those unhealthy relationship because they thought they won't get a better relationship..Girls and Boys! We don't deserve violence no matter what the damn reason is.
The video...should I talk about it? Ahaha I think it's better for you to watch it first before continue reading because I will tell you spoilers. Apparently Verbal Jint is the dog. Which is why he was staring at Sangchu(the abuser guy is actually a rapper too of Mighty Mouth) cheating.. You can see that at the end of the video that the actress first leaves with Verbal Jint and camera transition with the dog.. Which is really clever if you think deeper. An abuser is no better than a dog. AHAHAH. For the life of me, I think I have seen the actress drama before but I don't know which drama.. I think it's a daily drama or something. Don't she looks like Heo Yi Jae? or maybe she is? grr.

Hwayoung issue
T-ara truly tarnish all my Kpop dreams.. Not that I was naively believing Kpop is the dream world in the first place..it's like you just don't want to know the bad side of your parents kind of infos.
A couple while ago, I made a list of my favorite girl groups.. T-ara was one of them..so imagine how disappointed am I, but ironically my previous post is hating their new song. LOL
I never understood why management thought add new member is a good idea. Sure After school seems fine, but the management has told early on from their debut that will be their concept.
To be honest, Hwayoung was just meehh. I didn't particular like her or hate her.. I just thought it was unnecessary. T-ara is likeable to me only for their songs..and occasional drama or variety show. Their line distribution is horrible. There's too much emphasize on Hyomin, EunJung and JiYeon. It clearly do not benefit the members.
However that doesn't mean I think Hwayoung deserved to be treated like this. I don't know how to they come to this decision and excute in such a unproper manner or rather stupid way.
If I was the CEO, I would have let Hwayoung take a long break and until a certain period, I would forced Hwayoung to terminate the contract on her own accord. The reason could be varied..she wants to focused on studies or maybe wants to venture in acting. Ahem, if I was a genius evil CEO.
Give fans time is always the better way instead of this rash action.. It happen within a week after that scandalous tweet..surely that sound rushed. Sure Hwayoung could have commit several troublesome act but as I see it, it's not enough to be called contract termination.
If Hwayoung is keen on reveal that she was wrongly terminated.. She should have sued Kim Kwang Soo then. Do not make us the fans do several guesses because our imagination is unlimited. Cryptic tweeting about it is not the answer. Write a blog about it, maybe held your own press conferrence.
Do I think Hwayoung is bullied? Plausible. T-ara is famous for being overworked..all that tension must be channel somewhere right? I think Hwayoung termination is about her tweets..she seems have tendency to reveal stuffs. Ceo probably threaten her not too..but I guess she ignores it and he looses it and just announce it. Why I think it is like that? Because he later claim if Hwayoung apologize that she would have the chance to returned.
Wtf. THE DAMAGED IS DONE. T-ara is highly unlikely to make a good comeback. Unlike 2PM, majority fans had turned anti fan. Usually I could find some fans who would stood by their idols no matter what but get this, their largest fan site will be shutdown. That's a big message, right there!
So long T-ara~!

i'm hating T-ara Day By Day
Video Here
It's sort of not intended pun..but then it's sort of true.. I have no idea what's going on CCM Ceo mind by adding new members in T-ara..
I can't listen to the song more than a minute.. I tried, it's just so not my music style. The chorus was such a let down.. It sound familiar..in a bad way. There's something about the music arrangement that got me cringed.
The rap part was somewhat okay..but it just feel like fast talking instead of rap.. Not one thing of the song that I like..and it's not one of those song that I would gradually like. Sure, I could be singing parts of it but I would hate myself afterwards.. like G.na's 2HOT. That..oh gosh, like what's wrong with Korean listeners? WHY you like that song??
Kpop song are always catchy..but erghh..not all I'm proud of liking.

Kpop song are always catchy..but erghh..not all I'm proud of liking.
Top 20 KPop You should Know!
Continued from the previous post...it's way too long, I had to separate into two parts! Here are my TOP 20!!
20. Bubble pop - Hyun A Love the song, hate the MV. This is one rare moment when I wished I had listen to the song first then watch MV because the MV ruined it for me. I can barely sit through the whole MV. Super uncomfortable to watch her dancing, and I'm just disappointed that was the concept of the song. The song is bubbly cute but the MV urgh.
19. Dirty Cash - Big Bang Usually a meaningful song has that mellow feel to it right? But this song is so much fun. I love the MV a lot ahaha. Suddenly image of cross dressing TaeYang comes to mind. I love they're poking fun while still making sense. Yeah, no I don't want your dirty cash~!
18. Noona Nomu Yeppo ( Replay) - SHINee I'm still waiting for SHINee to sing a song like this again. They initially was set to be sort of hip hop ish..but then they're just regular Kpop group again. I love the progress of SHINee but I wish to see something different and not just in fashion.
17. This Song - 2AM The lyrics are sad. So there's a Malaysian who got the rights to cover in this song in Malay and I'm distraught, why JYP why?! The key point of the song is essentially the lyrics..the feel and it should be sung by the right people! I also don't get why he didn't pick other JYP songs.. This song should be sung by singers who are
16. I don't care - 2NE1 I'd say this is a female power anthem, this song is sassy fun and the video is fun too...that is if you're a female. Now let's move our hands to side to sides girls! LOL "I don't Care eh eh eh e~!"
15. Rainism - Rain Oh boy. There's no one else sing about themselves so proudly like Rain.. I don't even know why I place this among Top 20 but this song is crazily parodied. From the intense head-face-body rubbing to the slick cane dance moves, slick dance moves can be easily turned into hilarious parody. Don't watch the MV, watch performance then watch parody. You'll have a good time. Lol
14. Tell Me - Wonder Girls This song that started out the Wonder Girl craze, the retro concept is wildly popular not only to idol fans but their grandmothers as well. While I don't know the dance well, when this song is at it's peak..almost everybody could dance to this song. Who could forget Sohee's Omona part.. Lol. my favorite part.
13. U - Super Junior Heck yeah. I am bias... NO ONE can take number 13 other than Super Junior. Instead of blabbering countless positive adjectives for this song, I'll tell you the story of my first listen as told by my brother. My brother likes Asian music earlier than I do, one day he told me about this song and he apprently said that I dislike the song. After I became SuJu fan, he told me that I didn't like the song.. I was shock because I don't remember ever that I dislike the song...so yeah fail as E.L.F.
12. I know - Seo Tae Ji and boys I have heard countless of idols or MC said how Seo TaiJi and Boys is the pioneer of Kpop..say what? Well it is true in some ways but I'm in no position to argue.. I have heard covers probably more than 10 times..but I have never actually heard of the original in full. All 3 members are quite controversial.. Seo TaiJi was secretly married to actress Lee Ji Ah..only discovered when they were divorcing, both Yang Hyun Suk (YG boss) and Lee Juno married a much younger person.. Their life is much more interesting..than the song.
11. Mirotic - DBSK Sigh, as a Kpop fan, if I were to introduce a Kpop artiste to a non fan, I would probably introduce DBSK because no other Kpop group as perfect as them. Think of Kpop greatest leader, it's YunHo.. Think of Kpop best vocal, it's JunSu..but JaeJoong and Changmin's vocal are not to be underrated, they're very solid too. All the best can be found in DBSK. SIGHHHH..anyway, Mirotic is a word coined by JaeJoong..I forgot what the meaning, but well, I prefer the Korean title, JuMon which means spell/magic...makes more sense.
10. Mister - Kara SHAKE YA BUTTS~! No matter what they do, they will always be remembered by this song. Who has not watch their performance is seriously missing out...okay maybe not, but it's fun to watch ut anyway..
9. Heartbreaker- G Dragon GD first solo single, proving that he is extremely influential in Kpop. Whatever he does, everyone swoons.. All of his single in the album is solid. If you dislike the usual kpop generics, perhaps this one is up to your alley.
8. Lonely - 2NE1 Auditioners of Kpop competition loves to cover this song.. I would too, since this song has lots of different element and I can relate to it's lyrics. At one point in everyone's life..there are moments we felt lonely right? Check out the acoustic version, that's a better version in my opinion.
7. Abracadabra - Brown Eyed Girls I don't care how popular this song is, I still hate this song. The auto-tune is beyond I could ever handle.. the concept is thumbs down, the MV is not my cup of tea..dance was okay, only after I have watched countless parody. I especially hate the song because it was totally different from what they had promote before.. Like LOVE, that's awesome..Eojada was awesome...this is like woah why?! It's shockingly different.
6. T.O.P. - ShinHwa Have I told you that Koreans love their acronym? yeah? Well I didn't tell you that the acronym are usually funny. Twinkling of Paradise, that's what it stands for, no joke. In this song has more acronym..like DRC (Dangerous, Risky, Crazy) and MIL (Millenium Innocent Love) wtf..but jokes aside, T.O.P. Big Bang and Teen Top names are based on this song. It's a mega hit and idols love to cover this song not only because the song is good but the choreography too!
5. Lies - Big Bang Featuring Gummy! Well, the girl in the beginning is Gummy's voice. Along with Tell Me, this is one of the biggest hits in 2007. There's so many cool easy choreography in this song. My personal favorite is T.O.P. Pointing and circle move..LOL I pretty much know the dance by heart, and I sux at dancing.
4. Tell me your wish (Genie) - SNSD The similarities of the song listed in this chart is it's always covered and parodied. This is no different, but it's the message of the song that made it so favorable to be covered. It has that sexy yet cute vibe..that is right. My all time favorite SNSD song.
3. Sorry Sorry - Super Junior Where do I start, the dance is so dang good! The beats are awesome! Sorry Sorry is very likeable for many reason. If you never heard of this song...don't call yourself a Kpop fan, like, this is serious..you can't call yourself a Kpop fan if you have not listen to this song.
2. Gee - Girls' Generation Gapss..How could this song be just no.2??!! It freaking won more than 9 music ranking chart awards.. It overturned KBS ban on SM artiste, yes..this song is definitely worthy No.1 but I can't change it. Koreans love this song, and I love it too. No hate okay.
1. Nobody - Wonder Girls Even my dad knows this song.. I can go any random space for sure there would have another person who knows this song. When it first come out, I love it..but if you play the song next to me now, I'd probably runaway by the first beat. I can not stand this song anymore. I have listen to every single version and I certainly don't need to listen any new ones. Recently it was rereleased in Japanese, I just can't even think. WHYYYYYYY?! It's a good song no doubt but it's so overplayed..
Top 10 is sure hard.. The last one written in the whole list was Abracadabra..because it didn't cross my mind. I wasn't a fan of this song so obviously it slip my mind. Possible there's tons of Kpop I didn't list because it's not my style or haven't listen but I think all the ranks are in order. Agree or disagree, it's just my opinion of song based on popularity and my liking, if it's soley based on popularity, Jewerly One more time and Bo Beep Bo Beep by T-ara would be included but don't feel like it.
If I'm being totally biased, most of SM song will be included..my favorite song of all time is not even in the list ahemsujumiracleahem. The song listed here are definitely songs that you would think of in the future for at least 10 years. I wish I was part of 1st Generation fan but I'm more on the 2nd generation so yeah, it's flaw in that sense
20. Bubble pop - Hyun A Love the song, hate the MV. This is one rare moment when I wished I had listen to the song first then watch MV because the MV ruined it for me. I can barely sit through the whole MV. Super uncomfortable to watch her dancing, and I'm just disappointed that was the concept of the song. The song is bubbly cute but the MV urgh.

5. Lies - Big Bang Featuring Gummy! Well, the girl in the beginning is Gummy's voice. Along with Tell Me, this is one of the biggest hits in 2007. There's so many cool easy choreography in this song. My personal favorite is T.O.P. Pointing and circle move..LOL I pretty much know the dance by heart, and I sux at dancing.
4. Tell me your wish (Genie) - SNSD The similarities of the song listed in this chart is it's always covered and parodied. This is no different, but it's the message of the song that made it so favorable to be covered. It has that sexy yet cute vibe..that is right. My all time favorite SNSD song.
3. Sorry Sorry - Super Junior Where do I start, the dance is so dang good! The beats are awesome! Sorry Sorry is very likeable for many reason. If you never heard of this song...don't call yourself a Kpop fan, like, this is serious..you can't call yourself a Kpop fan if you have not listen to this song.
2. Gee - Girls' Generation Gapss..How could this song be just no.2??!! It freaking won more than 9 music ranking chart awards.. It overturned KBS ban on SM artiste, yes..this song is definitely worthy No.1 but I can't change it. Koreans love this song, and I love it too. No hate okay.
1. Nobody - Wonder Girls Even my dad knows this song.. I can go any random space for sure there would have another person who knows this song. When it first come out, I love it..but if you play the song next to me now, I'd probably runaway by the first beat. I can not stand this song anymore. I have listen to every single version and I certainly don't need to listen any new ones. Recently it was rereleased in Japanese, I just can't even think. WHYYYYYYY?! It's a good song no doubt but it's so overplayed..
Top 10 is sure hard.. The last one written in the whole list was Abracadabra..because it didn't cross my mind. I wasn't a fan of this song so obviously it slip my mind. Possible there's tons of Kpop I didn't list because it's not my style or haven't listen but I think all the ranks are in order. Agree or disagree, it's just my opinion of song based on popularity and my liking, if it's soley based on popularity, Jewerly One more time and Bo Beep Bo Beep by T-ara would be included but don't feel like it.
If I'm being totally biased, most of SM song will be included..my favorite song of all time is not even in the list ahemsujumiracleahem. The song listed here are definitely songs that you would think of in the future for at least 10 years. I wish I was part of 1st Generation fan but I'm more on the 2nd generation so yeah, it's flaw in that sense
Top 50 Kpop that you should know
Top 50 kpop song that you should know!
I wanted to write MY top 50 Kpop of all time but it's hard because I like to listen my song according to the mood of the moment.. Generally, my favorite kpop song are cutesy and adorable type..but I love some slick dance moves from time to time. This list does have a little bias-ness, but it's definitely about famous song you really have to know..at least!
Be prepare for the long post everrrrr!
50. Baby baby - 4men
Deciding which Kpop as no. 50 is sure harder than picking the top 10.. I'm not really sure of the popularity of this song but it sure is covered a number of times by idols. The song has a beautiful piano playing paired with great vocals. Whether you like ballads or not, this song is beautiful.
49. Tell Me Why - Untouchable feat HwaYoung
If I'm really bias...this song definitely will rank in top 10 as this is one of my all time favorite kpop. The reason it being far end is the popularity isn't high. The song pulls you right in with Hwayoung awesome vocals and paired along with the duo's amazing raps. I love Untouchable very dearly but the star of this song is definitely Hwayoung, when he hit the high notes..it's just damn good!
48. U Go Girl - Lee Hyori
I actually don't really like this song because nothing about the song is my style.. I enjoyed the dance though, it's fun and cute. Maybe if I was a guy I would like the song better.
47. Balloons - DBSK
The cutest thing ever to the point of embarrasing! I would never introduce my non kpop friends this song. I would rather they discovered this themselves. As mention, I love cutesy stuff so this is such a fun song for me. It's actually a classic children song in Korea and this is for summer album so yeah it's just a fun moment.
46. Like being hit by a bullet - Baek Ji Young
The lyrics are definitely violent, lol I really love ballads but somehow kpop ballad doesn't attract me much. This song was released in autumn, the perfect weather for ballads..it was perfect timing for me. Baek Ji Young voice has that sadness feel that suited well for the emotion of this song.
45. Eat You Up - BoA
Being the first English song released by BoA, I had to include it somehow. It's not exactly popular in US but nevertheless I applaud her effort. Her English album is nit bad.. Eat You Up while likeable, is my least favorite single of the album. The lyrics bothered me...though it's still BoA, her dance moves for this song is awesome!
44. Candy - H.O.T.
One of the classic Kpop idol songs. I think most idols would at least have practice this song at one point of their life. The classic dance moves are HeeJun's and WooHyuk's part..it's really happy song and fun. HeeJun said that it's really hard to sing the song live because of the extensive dance routine.
43. Nothing Better - JongYup
I had no idea it was Jong Yup's song..for the longest time. I seriously thought it was SHINee's song because my friend gave me this song along with SHINee's album. Jonghyun did a great job but as soon I listen the original..I knew I love it better. JongYup's vocal control is darn amazing.
42. The Boys - Girls' Generation
Their first attempt to enter international music scene, the boys is rather un kpop ish since SNSD rarely ever rap, it felt awkward but I didn't care that much. I love their outfits in the MV and the girls all look great! It was produced by Teddy Riley, a famous composer.
41. Cry - MBLAQ
I'm really upset that this song did not receive much love as it should have. It was so perfectly composed and the mv is just awesome with the under water scene..dang, I can't open my eyes in water la. I thought Thunder was exceptional in this song, but then again I am bias.
40. When I can't Sing - Se7en
I love the meaning of this song, and I feel sad that the light of a star will fade some day. I wished I didn't know JYP composed it because it really feel like he should be the one singing this song or rather Rain should have this song. Mind you Se7en did a great job, just the overall feel of this song suited better with JYP artiste.
39. Goose's Dream - Insooni
I don't why but I somehow understand the song though I never check the translation. It as if that the song speak for itself. A song that shows the power of music, this song is a classic song that tells a story about the impossible dream. Actually I knew Insooni isn't the original but when the hoobaes covers it, it usually is Insooni's version.
38. Heartbeat - 2PM
gaahh.. 2PM, if I had to pick which group I hate the most, without a doubt it's 2PM. Back in 2009, netizen discovered that Jay Park had written "Korea is Gay" on his personal webpage way before his debut. It outrage the whole country and forces Jay Park to lay down low for a long time. During that period 2PM had a mini album titled 1:59 and this song was released. I was furious because to me it meant being disrespectful to Jay.. Why work when your teammate is having a hard time? Anyway I blog about this before but for the longest time I didn't hear the song and avoid it at all cost. It was definitely hard because the song is MEGA popular. Comedians love to parody it and variety shows always plays the song. Curiosity caught me and then I knew that 2PM will kick Jay out. I meant even with just 6 they got so much success why bother adding Jay back? This song is awesome but I hate the story behind it.
37. Good day - IU
The IT song, there is no way IU is ever going to forget this song for the rest of her life. The infamous 3 Octave part, is always parodied by everyone. I really love her cutesy concept and this song is cute, but it's an upgrade from her previous singles.
36. Before the Dawn - Infinite
Another song that is severly underrated. Why oh why Korean don't make this song no.1? The scorpion dance was so cool. I love every part of the dance routines. the song is dark yet very captivating.
35. Sunset Glow - Big Bang
This song is a cover of Lee Mun Se classic hit and Big Bang intrepretation received a grear review from the man himself. At first I didn't like the song but it steadily grows to my liking. When I listen to the original, I literally had my jaws dropped. I love how Big Bang kept the originality of the song yet it genuinely feels like Big Bang made it.
34. Never Ending Story - BooHwal
What a hard song to sing, thanks to Lee Seung Chul.. I don't know when is the first time listening to it but when I first listen just to a little part of it, I had to listen the full song immediately. I would love to listen to this song in concert and wave my hands side to side.. Just drown myself to the moment of the song.
33. Tonight - DBSK
To me, DBSK is best singing ballads, I know they're amazing dancers but we definitely need a great ballad for Junsu sake, his voice is the best in KPop! All their ballads are great but I prefer this one the most, as I remembered feeling goosebumps when I first heard it.
32. I miss you - Kim Bum Soo
There's no other OST more famous than this. I don't know if it's the composition,the lyrics or Kim Bum Soo's voice but this song is so perfect. It's just is. If you're wondering which OST, it's Stairway to Heaven staring Choi Ji Woo, Kwon Sang Woo and Kim Tae Hee. I don't really remember the drama apart from it being a sad story..but this song I will remember forever.
31. Into the new world - Girls' Generation
I'm a little bit apprehensive about adding this song in the list, but in my opinion, this is a perfect debut song. The dance choreography is eye catching..literally, who can forget the high kick move?! I love the MV, the lyrics and the song is okay..yup, it get's a little boring after a few listen..if I'm not mistaken, it doesn't have any English lyrics, so it felt like a true kpop. It's not one of the most popular Kpop, but it's a good light hearted song.
30. Fiction - Beast
If I had my way, Bad Girl would be on the list...lol but it's a little cutesy for others. I quite love all Beast songs but none felt like worth remembering forever.. Shock and Soom have similar styles, while Beautiful is popular, but it's kinda a dedication to their fans. Fiction won 2011 song of the year in KBS Song Festival, so yeah..that's my only reason this song is in the list.. I really love the first mini album.
29. Bad Girl Good Girl - miss A
Not a fan of the song but I love the dance moves. Eventually I got the song stuck in my head. The parodies are all awesome. A great song to dance to, but not really liking the song.
28. Mother - g.o.d
If you're sensitive, perhaps this song can make you cry...especially if you're Korean. The song tells about a mother's love to her son, probably some part you might not understand like what jajangmyun meant but watching the MV may clear things up.
27. Fantastic Baby - Big Bang
Get ready....! WOW, FANTASTIC BABY! I am telling you, I cannot say wow without saying Fantastic Baby! I really like Blue, so I was looking forward for something mellow from Big Bang..but this song is NOT. So for weeks, I didn't listen to it because it's not something I look forward. But Wow, fantastic baby is addictive. You just want to sing to it and move~!
26. Ring Ding Dong - SHINee
The Engrish is a lot..and till today I have no clue what the song meant. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but after this song was released, it seem Kpop is filled with ridiculous English.
25. Fan - Epik High
Expect nothing more than perfect from Epik High. Everything is well crafted, the MV is creepy yet goes well with the music, the lyrics are haunting and Epik High skills is no joke. It's so interesting and dark, yet I love it. The song tells about a fanatic fan..you have to watch the MB to understand further!
24. I'm your girl - S.E.S
Without S.E.S. Kpop would not be the same. Before S.E.S. kpop is mostly dominated by male, but these 3 girls are bringing fresh cutesy concept and it rocked Kpop world. This song is definitely a classic that Kpop idols should learn.
23. 10 points out of 10 - 2PM
Regardless of what, in every 2PM interview, the members are often ask about how many points out of 10.. How creative #sarcasm. It's a fun song and G.na is in the MV..plus Jay is still in the group.
22. Wedding Dress - Taeyang
Flawless. Before this song, I never thought Taeyang has good singing technique because well, it don't sound good. This song change it, I grew to like his voice better! The overall feel, the music and the lyrics, perfect 10!
21. I am the Best - 2NE1
How do I explain this song? I don't think I ever listen to this song in full. I only know this song because so many people sings it on variety shows. It's just not my kind of music but it's popular because of the lyrics.

MWV : 보아 Only One (Dance Version)
Video Here
I'm blogging via tablet I have no idea how to embed it..and don't know if the link is okay. Anyway, I watched it and yesterday and completely love it!
According to the description, BoA wrote the lyrics and composed the song..can she be any more awesome than that? I'm a sucka for piano intros and the simple, lively and catchy piano got me liking the song. This is one song, that I am pretty sure I would have instantly like without watching video or the performance. It's strong by itself.
So heck yeah, I was completely mesmerize by this video. I usually don't care for dance version MV but who am I kidding, she's BoA..the best female dancer in South Korea!! The choreography looks so slick and difficult..it's juat an art by itself. I love the mixture of dancer and the Korean guy with blond locks is former member Black Beat who's now dance director in SM.
I've seen dance version MVs that don't do justice to the dance, But this one does. I love the transtition to couple dance..that's so beautiful! I want to appalaud the director of this video.
