Music, especially K-POP (since we’re in Korea daaah!), are played loudly from the small stores and bars on the street of Seoul. I think it’s so nice and makes the whole street more vibrant and lively but when different stores have different music at the same time it makes all gaaah!! @_________@ but still, it’s nice, haha!
The week that i’ve been here, PSY’s song 뜨거운 안녕 (Feat. 성시경) has been very popular and is frequently played everywhere! Just yesterday I heard it from a guy on a scooter who had this song blasting on a freakishly high volume from his scooter, making it sound over the whole area! I was like: Why do this song sound so familiar..? And when I came home, this song suddenly popped up on my playlist! Turns out I had this song the whole time when I downloaded his album hahah! And now it’s freakin stuck in my head….-__- Listen and get addicted too!
Another one is the duo Tasty (I know…lame name but supercute guys!!) from the same company as Infinite. They debuted just a few months ago but their debut song, You know me(너 나 알아) has become pretty popular already and the MV is played frequently on TV. The great thing about them is that they’re –88 liners and I can fangirl without being a total pedonoona ehe…hehe…hehehe. Watch the MV and drool with me!
Definition of a Jennifer-song: Sexy, sultry, good for relaxing, mainly used in baby making-mode.
My friend Kevin came up with that when we were talking about Wooyoung from 2PM’s latest solo album, 23, Male, Single (Yes, that’s the actual title of the album dotdotdot…) when he suddenly said: “Haha, that’s totally a Jennifer-song!” when we listened to his Be With You. I just burst out in laughter because it’s so totally true. I love slow and sexy RnB songs, everyone knows it by now hahah! So, in this post, I just wanna show some of my favorite slowjams. Enjoy and please, try to contain yourselves ladies and gents.
Let’s start with Wooyoung’s song I mentioned above.
Yeah well, these are just some of em. Hope you enjoyed!
Sitting here, all newly showered and feeling fresh! Starting to feel a little bit tired but I just wanted to do a tiny picture update of yesterday when some friends of mine graduated from high school. Made me think of my own graduation 4 years ago. Freakin 4 years ago! Felt so old at the reception yesterday haha ;__;
Made some vietnamese dessert with my Mami a few hours ago too. Think they were called Banh Xu Xe. They have like this green, jelly-like texture on the outside and a sweet mung bean paste with coconut shreds in the middle. Pretty good actually!
And yeah, as you guys may know VIXX debuted a while ago and these guys are pretty good! The song is very good and the MV is very colorful and decent AND they sing live pretty well too! So, so far they have my interest, although I can’t say the same for DSP Ent. new group A-Jax…sure they had this dope MV (oh lord, I just couldn’t help but laughing my ass off when that voldemort-monster-looking-thingie popped up!) but the song wasn’t even that memorable or good (sorry!). Apparently, they spent quite a lot on the MV with the all of the CG effects and stuff. I wished that they’d spent the money on creating a badass song instead because they do seem like they have the potential to become big. What do you guys think? But so far, I gotta say that my favorite rookies of this year isEXO, B.A.P and VIXX.
Is it just me or is 2012 THE year for rookies in KPOP to debut? It hasn’t even gone half a year since 2012 started and yet, it already seems like 4387467426842086760 groups have debuted. We’re talking B.A.P, NU’EST, EXO, BTOB, JJ Project, Hello Venus…and then we have YG Ent. upcoming girl group, DSP Ent. upcoming boyband (think they’re called A-JAX…?) and many more to come…or has debuted that I even don’t know about. See, can’t even keep track of the new groups anymore or yeah well…when have I ever kept track of new groups anyways? (My sweetest lambchops EXO are an entirely different story!!)
Then we have this new rookie group, VIXX, from Jellyfish Entertainment who’s also ready to debut, more precisely this thursday on 24th. This entertainment manages very talented artists like Seo In Guk, Sung Si Kyung and BrianJoo and the newcomers, VIXX, are not an exception. They’ve so far released 3 teasers from their upcoming debut single, Super Hero, and they do seem very promising!
Although they may seem promising, I can’t say for sure yet if they’re good or not since they haven’t even debuted yet. All I can say is that they are going up for some hard ass competition because all of the rookies that has debuted so far are ALL so damn talented! If they don’t do something to make them stand out in the horde of the new rookie groups, (and i’m not just talking about competing over who’s got the weirdest group name!) i’m afraid that they’ll easily be forgotten.
It was a hard choice, choosing between so many good solo artists such as Se7en and Hyori. But I think you guys may have already figured out who my favorite solo artist is and yes, you’re right! It’s my baby boo Jay Park!
His music is exactly the kind of music I like to listen to. Hot, smouldering, sexy, babymaking kpop songs. Just my cup of tea! Maybe it was a good thing that he left 2PM after all and now don’t get me wrong, i’m a big fan of 2PM! But if he hadn’t left, we wouldn’t have had the chance to hear his wonderful music, for example Star or Abandoned. Those are just two of my favorite songs from him.
Here’s another favorite from him. You so naughty Jay hihi

Pledis Entertainment has announced that they will be debuting a grand 17-member male idol group by the end of the year!
Tentatively named ‘Seventeen‘, the group is made up of 17 members averaging 17 year old, who have been trained not only for the domestic market, but specifically for the international market as well. Although they’re being touted as the largest K-Pop group to date, A-Peace holds the title with 21 total members.
Pledis has revealed that they will not be going the standard route of debuting the group in Korea before advancing overseas, but rather debut a group that is ready to promote in Korea, China, and Japan right from the get-go.
After their debut as a group, the boys will be split into units to promote separately in Korea, China, and Japan with promotional tactics tailored to each country.
A representative stated, “We’ve been preparing a team that is able to promote in China and Japan for a very long time. Since they’ll be specially promoting in three countries, you can consider them an official Hallyu group. Their debut is currently set for the end of the year, and we’re planning unique music and stage concepts.”
Through Seventeen, Pledis aims to create a new genre they call ‘Asia Pop’, a genre with K-Pop colors at the forefront but switched up to the tastes of the Chinese and Japan markets.
In related news, Pledis is also gearing up for the debut of After School‘s sister group, Hello Venus, next month.
Really? Like really?! 17?! I don’t even have words of how stupid I think this idea is. They just debuted NU’EST and they have a girl group, Hello Venus, AND a new boyband (I think they were called Tempest?) waiting to debut this year. I mean seriously! Focus on the artists you have right now instead of debuting new ones like you wanna kick all of your trainees out! NU’EST have really big potential and I think Pledis Ent. should just focus on promoting them AND After School right now. Bad bad idea, Pledis…bad idea!
I suck I know. Haven’t been updating the KPOP challenge for a while now so this post will be pretty long, haha!
About the lyrics, to be honest, I don’t really have a favorite lyric. Some people find the lyrics the most important thing in a song. Me on the other hand, I find the music to be more important in a song rather than the lyrics. I can actually listen to a song and not understand a thing they say and still like it. Probably sounds super weird but it’s been like this since I was young, around the time I started to listen to Korean popmusic. I mean, I didn’t understand a bloody thing they said and yet, I totally loved it! It may sound strange but sometimes, even without listening to the lyrics, I get the emotions the singer is trying to convey so it’s like I almost understand what they’re singing about. Though I do sometimes look up the lyrics and read the translations of it.
Instead of my favorite lyric, I can show you a pretty sweet lyric though. It’s a little bit dirty in it’s own way. You’ll just have to interpret it for yourself and see what you think 😉
Ladies and gents, I give you TVXQ – Honey Funny Bunny (Yunho solo)

Just have to post his Japanese live performance of this song too ’cause it’s too awesome to miss!
Oki, i’ve been so busy with my studies that I haven’t had the time to blog and I just…need…to…make a post before I go back to the books! This time it’s about my alltime favorite kpop song and with no doubt at all I must say Shinhwa with their song Deep Sorrow. I absolutely L-O-V-E this song! Couldn’t stop listening to it when I discovered it sometime around 2003. It’s a very nice R&B track and even though it has like 10 years on it’s neck, this is the kind of song that is still popular nowadays and, I bet, many years to come. It is, and always will be, my alltime favorite song. Check it out below!
OMFG I’M IN AN ULTIMATE SPAZZMOMENT RIGHT NOW!! GAAAAAAAAAH AJNSJFHDNSNBFIPNBFNHHOJNBLFNBFKNBFNBKNBKÖF SO FREAKIN HANDSOME, SO GOOD, SO SEXY, SO GODLY %/%¤(&¤(¤&(##/#%(&¤))%)!!!
KRIS AND KAI ARE LIKE TOTAL SCHMEX! KRIS, OH KRIS! OH MY MAN! HOW CAN SOMEONE BE SO SEXY (SERIOUS FANGIRLING MOMENT)¤&#%/#%((#%(#%(#( LIKE FREAKIN COME TAKE ME NOW!!
*cough* anyways, sorry for the caps lock and spazzing. But OH GAAAHD!! The song was great, both groups were superhot and KAI!! OMG! He’s singing! Now it’s even harder to choose between him and Kris T^T But I think Kris is, and always will be, my number one bias! Seriously, it was really good! I’ve been raping the replaybutton since it was released and I still can’t get enough of it! And what’s with the vibrating pants?? died of laughter! xD
OMG, I almost forgot the most important news today! EXO is releasing another prologue single! MWIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!! I’m so excited!!! Though i’m glad that we’re not getting another teaser but getting a full musicvideo and a full single instead, I just wished they’d debut already! SME is really testing my patience for reals. No, i’m very happy…but i’ve never heard of two prologue singles. Nontheless, I CAN’T WAIT!!!!
The Prologue Single II ‘HISTORY’ of SM’s New Groups, EXO-K and EXO-M, will be Released on the 9th at 00:00 a.m.!
The second prologue single of SM’s new groups, EXO-K and EXO-M, will be released on the 9th. EXO-K and EXO-M will release both Korean and Chinese versions of the prologue single II ‘HISTORY’ through iTunes, Korean music websites (Melon, Dosirak, Soribada, Naver Music and Bugs) and Chinese music websites (Baidu, sina and SOHU Music) on the 9th at 00:00 a.m.
While their first prologue single ‘What is Love’ presented EXO’s singing abilities, the second prologue single ‘History’ features powerful music with fancy performance.
Moreover, as EXO-K and EXO-M will make a debut on the same day and time with the same song in Korea and China, ‘HISTORY’ will also be released in both Korean and Chinese. Also, EXO-K and EXO-M will unveil the formation of each team’s members through the music video of ‘HISTORY,’ which will be released on the 8th.
