Just like Bibimbap

So as you know, one of my favourite rookie group VIXX came back recently with On and On. I didn't have time to watch any of the music shows recently so I didn't know about their dance until I saw the dance practice video they uploaded.


Okaaaaaay I just cannot explain how much I loveeeee the choreograph! There's so many bits that I love like
0:30, When they all kinda just close in on Ken and try to....devour him and he's like PISS OFF
0:44, I love it when they have parts like this! Many groups are starting to do this recently though BUT I'm not complaining. I think it's an interesting way to bring attention to the one singing.
1:10 to 1:25 is sooo cool. I don't know I just love it.
1:38 and 2:15, CAN OTHER GROUPS DO THIS MORE?! :D

Yeah I generally really like the whole zombie thing going on with the dance. AND THEN I SAW THE LIVE PERFORMANCE.....


OMG. This is the first time I actually LOVE the stage outfit of a group. They really did go full on with the zombie theme. The contacts, the eye makeup, the NAILS. Ohhh man shit just got real. Kudos to the makeup artist having to do this for all their stages. Also, Hyuk, Hongbin and Leo just got wayyy hot with their hair ESPECIALLY Hyuk. Purple hair is always nice! Nice choice Hyuk!

Perhaps I was a little too rushed into writing the song review for IGAB (I got a boy), but my base opinion still stands strong, although, after a couple more replays, I found the song quite catchy. I still got to give it to them for having the sheer guts to release something like this. Onto the dance aspect of the song.

I LOVE IT. LOVEEEEE ITTTTT.

There's not a single thing I don't like about it. Seriously. From the hat lifting at the start, to shifting rows to have more spotlight on certain members, the fact that a lot more of them have more air time now, and then to the shining spot on Sooyoung to Tiffany's spotlight to Jessica and Seohyun's, and man, can Taeyeon dance!

You would think that being a main vocal is going to deter her from ripping the choreo apart, but that's exactly what she did! I'm genuinely surprised at her dancing abilities. Really.

I realise this doesn't really showcase her dancing abilities, but you've got to watch her in the whole dance!

On the other hand, I can't say the same for the other main vocal. Jessica. Lazy as ever. It's gotten quite funny actually how she just cbf to swing that head of hers or reach down to her toes, only going half way. Other people who aren't fans of them would think it's so unprofessional of her to do so; and I did think so before too, but it's gotten to the point where I'm just so used to her noob-ness at dancing that we all just go, oh there's Jessica for you.

Even in "The Boys" where they're doing this arm move and she's just forever out of beat and never in sync for every single stage. It's like you can't correct it at all.

Here's their latest stage on Music Core, try to spot the JessMistake.


If you couldn't find it, it was around 1:37. Although, I think it was pretty apparent as to where it was since it was a distant shot. Rachel mentioned how gay their outfits were on this stage, and I must agree, they look pretty damn gay with those hearts on their pants. Their other outfits are pretty good though. I guess they just want loads of variety? Who knows. 



Tiffany's kind of off it as well, but she does kind of make sure her hair flips around a little bit more. In this part of the choreo, I found that there wasn't really a specific set of move because while the dancers at the front excluding Tiffany were 90 degrees down to their right, the back row is sort of looking at the front, but then there are some parts where they're looking to their left...and then there's Jessica who's just..I don't even know what to say.

Having said that I loved their dance and everything there was one slight thing that bugged me. At the beginning of the MV when Tiffany comes out and does her little solo bit, and then the girls start to dance, her arms aren't fully extended................I know, it's like who cares, but, it's just annoying! hahah she does it well on live stages, and I know they normally do multiple takes for the MV so I don't know how they got that bit through. If I was the choreographer I'd probably be a little annoyed at that.

That's all for the dance.

OH what a busy month it had been for us both. How are we not dead yet? Well no matter how busy we were this month, we still had some korean favs! New reader? HIIIIIIII and refer to this post if you don't know how our monthly favourite works! :D

Video: Don't Hate Me - Epik High
They're back! And with a fun filled and crazy music video! Wouldn't you just wanna trash a supermarket with them? And those kids! So adorable and boderline-ing creepy! Our favourites have got to be the Joker girl, Mini Lady Gaga and BABY G-DRAGONN!

Song: Style - Rania
Both of us were a little late (only one month heh no biggie :P) with this but we pretty much went crazy over it when we found out about it's awesomeness. Out of all the songs by Rania, this is the best we think. The sexy in the video was also kept to a classy (, sexy, crazy, COUTURE!) level. Nicely done!

Drama: Faith
Ahhh another future to past, past to future time travelling action, fantasy, romance drama! Just like Queen In Hyun's Man but reversed! If you fancy some action, history, romance and Lee Minho like Rachee, this drama is for you!

Dance: Bad Boy - 100%
Right. So the both of us really started to like this song as well, and upon checking out the dance practice for this boy group, we found that not only did they have sharp moves, it was also precise as well. In addition to that, all group members were equally good in dancing. Whether they're at the back or at the front, they all matched each other, and none of them stood out. (which is a good thing if you want to show good team work) Groups that are churned out these days are often talked into doing dance numbers when clearly, their members are far better off singing still, belting out big notes. I don't know whether it's because they're all pretty spicy dancers, or the routine is just nice to match their capabilities, but whichever one it is, they've NO DOUBT (Cue both of us rolling on the ground laughing) done it well.

Hottie: Kris - Exo M
Naz: At first, I didn't really think anyone in Exo was all that hot. Rachel started spamming feeding me videos about them and I started to realise that the "cold" looking leader could be pretty charming indeed. And yes, the height is always a plus! Rachee: Tall, nice jawline, piercing stare = Hot

News: Designer Song Hye Myung reveals she was dating SS501's Park Jungmin
Oh ho ho ho another unsatisfied girl talking bad about someone after break up. Nothing more interesting than that right? Well Super Junior's Leeteuk did enlist into the army (WE MISS YOU LEADER!) but we like to keep it hot and scandalous in this section.

ANNNNNNNND another month had gone by. What is this? Where did the time go?! New category starting from this month as mentioned before here. And if you are new to us, WELCOME and refer to this to understand how this works!

Video: Catch Me - TVXQ
Okay Rachee here just for a quick..speech. I don't care if they are in a box. It's a nice box. How can you not like those shards coming out from the ground they were standing on? Oooh straight lines and sharp edges....okay better not go off topic now. AND AND let's not forget that milk puddle. Come on, that's not a box anymore is it? Now that that's out, let's just say we love the use of accessories in this video. Those arm armors as we would like to call them were really quite nicely used especially during the parts where they all link arms. Woooo dragonnnnnnn pahwah!

Song: '84 the Original - Glen Check
Yes yes me again of course as you can judge from the song choice. Since the 2 songs we both love this month (Catch Me and Stop Girl) were included in different categories....I shall be selfish and take this for myself hehe. And yes again I know this song was mentioned here but the one I'm including in this category is the "original" version......so '84 was not the original one? But yes I like this version better for some reason. What do you guys think? Which one do you prefer?
*I do apologize for the tumblr's url but that is the only place I can find the audio of it.*

Drama: Reply 1997
ANNNNNND it's me again...how awksies is this. Naz hasn't been catching up on dramas cause she is being a hardworking girl. Well I stopped too okay. I started watching this during summer and then stopped when school started and ended up just reading the recaps ): But hey from the episodes I watched before I stopped, I must say the acting is not bad considering how this is Eunji's first drama AND being the main (MAN I LOVE THIS GIRL! SHE'S FEISTYY!) and also Seo Inguk's first main role. What I really love is the plot as it revolves around the lives 6 high school friends, the crazy fan culture at that time and WHO'S THE BABY'S DADDY!

Dance: Stop Girl - Ukiss
Naz here! Finally, Ukiss is out with a new song, and I have to say, I'm loving both the song and dance! The dance definitely deserves something big. Let's just give a huge round of applause to the choreographers for coming up with this genius choreo. Proves you don't need big American names behind all this to get a good outcome. The structure of it all is splendid from the beginning where Kiseop gets his limelight (oh? did I just hear Rach squeal? I think I did! Rachee: I'VE WAITED TOO LONG FOR THIS!) and does a full dance while other members file in after him. The addition of girl back up dancers is also a very nice change to the stage. It gives a slightly different but pleasing vibe to the whole song, and I really hope that they'll get far with this one! Already searching up covers to learn the dance! Love love love.

Hottie: Lee Min Woo 
Ok, Naz again. Normally, I have to be honest with you guys here, I haven't really thought any one was hot that much since my Taemin days, but upon watching Kkok Kkok Tour as well as Shinhwa's broadcast featuring SHINee (read my post on it), I totally fell for Min Woo. Fine, he doesn't fit my height criteria, but no one's perfect right? right?!!??! (hypocrite talking here, but wtv) His smile is just NGAWWWW and he's funny too! Well, I think if I was to continue watching episodes of Shinhwa's broadcast, I would eventually fall for all of them (Eric is next on the list) Can I just say, that everyone who's reading this HAS to click this link right HERE. You'll know why once you've watched it. Loving it.

Spica is a 5 member girl group under B2M entertainment, and I've been a fan since their "Russian Roulette" days. Their focus are on vocals, because lets face it, they're far better than even some well known idols out there. Their dance? Pretty good if you ask me. Of course it's nothing compared to power dance groups like 2PM or any of those other beastly dancers, but I must say, I'm well impressed with this rookie group. Although, I don't think they'd be getting the rookie's award this year. A shame, really. They're just not popular enough, and I just wish more people will realise their talent soon, because it really is outstanding.

Their new song is out and titled "I'll be there". Many people are criticizing it saying it resembles the Spice Girls too much. Yes, I agree that it is more 90s pop then other material that are released out there today, but really, all just because a 90s pop number is released in the 21st century doesn't instantly make it Spice Girls. Some people need to wake up.

These girls are awesome. Period. I don't even need to say much. Just watch these videos, and you'll know what I mean. Raw talent doesn't need to be fished out by advertising, it should be swarmed the moment it's released.

Their live performace on MuBank:


Choreo ver. :


Not bad for a vocal group right? Hooked? Check out their other songs Russian Roulette as well as Painkiller.

Here's the run down of members for those who are interested:

Kim Boa is the leader of SPICA and she is the second oldest, the lead vocalist of the group, as well as a rapper. Ok, this chick is seriously some big stuff. She used to train in LOEN entertainment alongside IU which is why there were articles on the net about how Boa talked about how she got embarrassed when IU patted her ass in public after their debut. By right, IU is her Sunbae in terms of debut. She was also KARA's, Infinite's, and Rainbow's vocal trainer. Sorry, that deserved all types of highlighting. er, to have trained well known idols? Impressive. I have this theory about her lungs. You see, when she sings, it's like, how the hell do you breathe in between her long notes, therefore I've come to a conclusion that her lungs are in fact, secretly, oxygen tanks.
Ok, here's her cover of Rihanna's take a bow. This is just a fraction of what she can pull off.

I don't know many people who like After School and I'm not an official fan of their music either, but I do feel like their dance is a lot more powerful than a lot of other girl groups. Maybe it's because the choreography was made that way, but I must say, they execute it pretty well.

Here's a practice video of their song "Flashback":


And can I just add here how feisty of a dancer Nana is? For those who don't know which one she is in the video, she's the blonde that has a white singlet and black tights on. I remember a while back where she guested on "Strong Heart", she brought her make up artist qualification cert to the set to show to everyone that idols are not completely douchebags and bimbos. She looks extremely pretty with or without make up. I'm also sprouting out respect for her for posting a completely bare faced photo of her face, showing that you don't need super thick double eyelids to be pretty.

I know some people might be like, looks aren't everything, but uhm, sorry to dissapoint you, but YEAH IT IS when you're an ENTERTAINER. People have to look at your face all the time, so yes, you do need to look presentable and at least the slightest bit attractive.

Just wanted to share something I found just a second ago, and it's taken from one of Ailee's stages on Immortal Song 2. By far, one of the most beautiful performaces I've ever seen.

I don't know if any of you know, but I'm a huge fan of anything that has a good dance routine to it. This, dear readers, is an amazing example.


I think most of the SM main choreographers are in this, and I just..I don't even know what to say. This is just going to be a shit review, because I just love the dance so much it overpowers everything else.

Well, can I just say that BoA is an amazing dancer, and I sort of expected her to be one since she's been in the industry for aggggeessss and has gotten plenty of training already. Her hair here is also <3. dance dance dance. The song is pretty cool too, but the dance. The dance.


updated: I just saw the teaser MV for the original version (the one I've posted is the Dance version) AND YOO AH IN IS IN IT BABY. I can't wait :)
