I AM BACK TO REVIVE THIS BABY OF OURS! I AM SO SORRY ABOUT NEGLECTING YOU BABYYYYYYY!

Anyway, 3 weeks ago a Korean Indie group finally set foot in Malaysia annnnnnd I was there to watch it. It was amazing. So amazing I don't even know how to describe it. All I know is that I went really crazy, shouted a lot and got pissed at everyone that tried disrupting this experience.

Basically I discovered Idiotape about a week or 2 before Future Music and I was absolutely in love with that whole album. Obviously when I found out that they were going to be at Future I immediately started creating the perfect lie to convince my mum about letting me go. And it worked. So last minute but so worth the rush. It was one of the best live stages I've ever been to (even though I haven't been to a lot). Totally worth me running to the stage almost 20 minutes earlier because guess who got to be smack in the middle and all the way at the front. I swear the drummer's stamina is so crazy he just played for nearly an hour straight. Alsooooo managed to get myself in their little video thing (if you can spot me).


Seeing them live just makes me love their stuff even more now. I also realised that I always listen to them on Saturday nights ever since then. Maybe I was trying to relive the moment subconciously.
BUT HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVOURITES BY THEM!


First song in the album, first song I heard of, first song I fell in love with and the song that made me fall in love with them.


Even Floor was only okay to me but OMG IT IS SO GOOD LIVE I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY BUT IT JUST IS!


Ahh Melodie. Since this was the only song that had like a line in it, I decided to scream out the lyrics when they played it live and every one probably heard me. Good times.


080509


Sunset Strip


Then SM decided to have this collab thing where they did collaborations with a few electronic artists that included GLEN CHECK AND IDIOTAPE! This remix has such a distinct Idiotape vibe to it but when I tried looking for a song in 11111101 that sounded similar to it I couldn't D:

I don't know how to describe it but their tunes are quite simple but it's still something that I've never heard of ever. Maybe that's why I love them a lot. I guess I now have another album to add to my list of albums to buy!

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!

Hurhurhur it's been awhile Dalmatian DMTN (have to change all those tags to DMTN now)! Good to have you boys (and SIMON! ♥) back in my radar. I quite like this song.....okay I love this song. Been replaying it over and over since it came out yesterday. I think this is their best song yet. It's a continuation of their image change in ER from their whole bow wow wow era and I don't mind it at all.


I guess the MV does follow the lyrics a little since it's the whole "I'm behind your back/I WILL PROTECT YOU" kinda thing. But awww poor Youngwon Donglim (I know it's good that he's using his birth name now but STOP CHANGING ALL THE NAMES 2WORKS ENTERTAINMENT!) getting beaten up but thugs. The MV's okay....just a tiny complain though. Where are the rest of the members? I barely caught a glimpse of them (SO LITTLE SIMON EYECANDY )':)!


I can't decide whether I like the dance or not. I like some parts.....but I don't like some parts...Idk need to watch more performances (or they couldddd upload a dance practice vid! :D) Special mention to Daniel for going on with the comeback even with that busted ligament of his!


CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THIS ON TV THIS FRIDAYYYYYYY!

English song guys! from WonderGirls. I love love love the harmony that they have. It's rare to find a girl group that can harmonise really well (besides SPICA because they're amazing too). Maybe I've mentioned it before, but if I haven't then I'll say it now. I think WonderGirls are actually a really talented group. I didn't use to think so. Before, they were known everywhere as the girls who sang "Nobody". After hearing it everywhere-just everywhere, I became annoyed at the song, and eventually started to think they were like the newbie girl groups that couldn't sing. Man, was I wrong.

I like the fact that not all of them have strong powerful voices. Sometimes, having a group of girls with the same kind of talent just doesn't make it. I love the diversity in the group, amongst the girls. Yubin's rap-py voice, Sohee's really soft but melodic voice and Lim's dynamic voice. Sun is my favourite of course, and Yen is equally breathtaking.

Here's Wake Up, if you haven't heard yet, in acapella.

So the wait is over! Expectations were soaring high this time around with SNSD's 4th album. I was a little late to find out that it was coming out at 5 KST, which meant that while I was stuck on the screen of my computer at 1am yesterday, constantly refreshing my youtube dash and SMTOWN FB, it was actually coming out 15 hours later. I waited the whole day, getting fidgety after lunch, then it finally was released.


Just a summary of what I think of the song itself, just so, you know, I make my point well clear. I'd rather call this a little medley mashup of about 5-6 songs in one. Why? BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY MELODIES STUCK IN EVERYWHERE, IT'S LIKE, FOR GOD'S SAKES MAKE UP YOUR MIND. Whoever that composed this song must be ambitious with what they've got. It sounds like they had worked on a couple of melodies in the past, and somehow or rather ran out of time to fully work on one, so they just decided to stick them all together (I know they ran out of time because that's what happened to my IGCSE music composition and it sounds as confused as this piece. heh.) Another big dissapoint this time was the fact that Hyoyeon didn't get her usual dance solo. The girl can dance like the world's ending and you give her some rap duel with Yoona? Thoroughly dissapointed in you SM, well and truly dissapointed. You're not using your assets well enough.

Sooyoung starts off with a rap with melody number one with Yuri. Then Tiffany struts in with her english skills, no surprise there; still sounds relatively good. Taeyeon is next up with a continuation of melody number 2 from Tiffany's intro, followed by Seohyun. Melody number 3 and 4 is used multiple times at various parts of the music with the help of Jessica and Tiffany's sudden "Stop right there; take it back to another lane, something something 140". To be frank, it's a mess. No flow at all.

Having said that, I actually do like the individual melodies. It's just a shame that they decided to mush it all up into one song.

On to the other songs.
First song is Promise:


It's a nice slow ballad, showcasing the lead and main vocals quite neatly. The melody is sort of sweet I guess, but it's nothing amazing and doesn't really appeal to me that much. Good song to listen to while doing Maths though.

Next up is Express 999:


Funky composition that reminds me of some disco era song. This song also has a dual melody to it, but it has a far better transition than IGAB fortunately enough.

Third song is Lost in Love:


This, my dear readers, is a product of TaeNy. Taeyeon and Tiffany is only featured in this song. I found that the song was very lyrical, and spoke out to listeners. The slow quirky sounds in the background at the start reminded me of those clips of MR removed you can find on youtube to see if your bias is really lip syncing or not. After a while, it fades away, and a nice beat accompanies their voices. Lovely song indeed.

Up next is XYZ:


I don't really know what to think of this song. It's a fuse of what I term the "latest" rage with music. A lot of those techno things, but not too hardcore. It's bearable, and somewhat to a certain extent quite catchy.

Look at me is 5th on the list:


A cute-sy rap greets us, with a melody that has a hint of Indian-ness to it. Again this reminds me of a song from the disco era, but this time with some mystery vibe in the middle with some funky guitar playing in what I think would be the climax. You look at me, I look at you.

I'm not sure what Romantic St. is suppose to read, but it's the next song:


This may be one of the more favourable songs in this album for me. There's such a nice piano melody in the beginning, and IT HAS FLOW. Something IGAB totally lacks. It does however have some hints of a song from TaeTiSeo's Twinkle album in it as well as a song from their The Boys album? Is it just me? I don't know, it just sounds really familiar to me. But still, this song gets on the good list.

The next song is apparently a Korean version of Pixie Lott's What you do, called Baby Maybe:


Still meh. Is it me, or are they just having korean versions of english released songs? SM needs to hire better composers.

If you haven't already watched their version of Duffy's Mercy which was shot during their Gee days, you can watch it now:


Nothing to shout about, it's the same melody and everything. It's just that it's in korean and rather than belting out "something something begging you for mercy" it's now " something something dancing" and then somewhere down the line would be queen or dancing queen together. I do feel though, that this has a slight "whole-ness" feel to it, but I figured that's only because there's 9 of them singing the song, whereas Duffy only had herself.

That's it for this album. Overall, it was quite a dissapointment. I loved the melodies in IGAB, but it was just too much in one. The other songs were just mediocre, and didn't really appeal to me as much as the songs from the Twinkle album. Just waiting for their live stages, to see the overall performance.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan when it comes to mashups of multiple songs. However, not too long ago, I stumbled upon a couple (just 3) that I found particularly interesting and actually bearable. With time, they became my favourites. It's this kind of music that gets me to do my work and getting those adrenaline pumping while trying to secrete more endorphins.

Mashup number one: 2NE1's Fire + SHINee's Lucifer


Surprisingly, the beat goes well together and there aren't any obvious-I-can't-take-this-bullshit-awkward-moments in there.

Mashup number two: Hyuna's Ice cream + SNSD's the boys


I know alot of people aren't actually fans of Hyuna's Ice Cream (neither was I), but you know, to be honest, the reason why I didn't like it was because I got put off by the live stages. It was just too dramatic and over the top for my liking. But when I actually took the time to listen to the audio, without any animation whatsoever, I found bits of the song that were actually...good. Sure, it doesn't show Hyuna's capabilities at all, but I mean, what can we really do about that?

Mashup number three: MBLAQ's This is war + SNSD's Paparazzi


It actually...fits. Speechless.

Is anyone else out there a fan of MC Mong and misses him and his retard-ness on 1N2D? Or is it just me.
He's also one of my favourite rappers in the K-industry. Just a while ago, a song from him was played in one of the youtube videos I was watching. I loved the song, but at the time, I didn't know who it was. The rap was SO familiar, and it drove me insane because I couldn't figure out who it was. I scrolled down through the comments and finally I found a trusty comment, "Sick enough to die-MC Mong ft. Mellow"

Here it is guys. Absolutely love the MV, although it seems as though the guy is forever running.

Is it only me, or is SNSD's batch of teaser images just down right beautiful that makes all the girls gay for them? Is it just me? IS IT?!

Fangirling aside, I'm well excited for their new release on the 1st, and it looks like they've already shot the new stage yesterday along with their other performances set to be released on a special show on new years! Excited now?

I know most sones would've seen the teaser images, which can I also add were released all at once after Seohyun's and Hyoyeon's, because some idiot decided it would be cool to leak some more out. Not cool. Not cool at all; but I'd just like to have a little talk talk session over their images in this post!

Pre-warning: Some bad ass chicks are about to be shown and justlikebibimbap will not be held responsible for any inidvidual that decides to convert oneself/harm oneself/losing oneself's voice from squealing in delight.

Alrighty then. Let's get to it.

In order of age, because I'm such a geeky sone:

Taeyeon:


Starting from the left: Not a huge fan of the blonde wig, although I really like the top and how it's got a subtle sweetheart cut with colourful beading stuck on the front. There was another photo that showed the back version but I can't be bothered to find it, but there's a hint of donald duck that peeps out on the back which I really like!

Next 2 photos are a little bit more toned down with her natural brown do, and I really love the messy hairdo in the middle and the red #swag cap on the right. Today is indeed a good day.

Jessica:

Maybe there's a thing going around with all the stylists and denim jackets, but whatever it is, I'm really liking it! The badges on the denim vest and Mickey popping out on the light blue denim jacket is equally cute. I find the dramatic bottom lashes on the right quite creepy looking, and her V-shaped face seems almost artificial. No, I don't blame plastic surgery. I just blame the awfully talented photographer/editor and their photoshopping skills.

Sunny:



 I applaud Sunny for going the extra mile and getting a crayon coloured hairstyle. I like how it looks on her. It's short, but it gives her the extra bit of character you know? At first when I saw her on the unicorn, I couldn't recognise her mainly because it was a rather small photo and I could only see her eyes-even then, it was made up slightly different and it made me take a step back and wonder to myself if there was actually a hidden tenth member all this while. Loving the unicorn though and the Konglish on her #swag cap.

Tiffany:

I want the jacket she's wearing! I absolutely love how her hair looks in the right photo and I like how it's a candid shot. The middle photo is so diva with those mad studs on her chest area, the massive crown and the pink diva fur jacket is just....her. I don't like the wig, but somehow or rather it works with the concept in the photo.

Hyoyeon:

In love with the rainbow colours in her hair!!! Finally the stylists know how to style the girl! All these years with outfits that never fit her properly and all that, just...finally. Finally. It does remind me a bit of Hyuna's Ice cream. Not really the concept, but the vibe I get from looking at the photo. The leather jacket and peering over the shoulder <3

Yuri:

Her batch of photos were my favourite out of all the members. The studded bra, the flat tummy, multi coloured backdrop, the bad ass leather jacket, and her hair is black. Even though I do think that sometimes girls with coloured hair (mainly different shades of brown) are pretty, I find that they've kind of made black hair look ugly and life-less, which I think isn't the case at all. Which is exactly why, I always root for girls who rock black hairdos (or at least very dark brown)

Sooyoung:


I thought Sooyoung's batch was the most boring one out of the lot. Unfortunately, I though her hair was..typical. The red streaks looked a little lost amongst the black and looked like she just went to daiso and bought coloured crayons and did them herself. I do however like the tattoo of the flower on her thigh. There's not much that I like about the photo on the right though because It's just..the same with her other photos. Nothing out of the ordinary.


Yoona:



 In Yoona's batch of photos, I really like the diversity of all the pictures. The random disco ball photo reminds me of Krystal's Electric shock teaser photo. Not tooo sure how I'm liking her circle lenses (or wtv it's called) in the middle photo, but it just scraped past creepy and into the normal category for me. Again, the denim jackets with candy deco <3

Seohyun:

 There's another photo of her, but I seem to have lost it. Anyway, WELL DONE MAKNAE. You've shown more skin than most of the other girls, and it was very unlikely of you to do so. I'm not sure if they're actual abs, or maybe its because she's just so skinny that it shows some lines. Funky short shorts and random thigh tattoo along with the pink fur coat- fantastic.


Love the tatoo of all the girls' names on Hyoyeon. I find her nails slightly retarded though

Group photo with awkwardly positioned unicorn that sunny was on. I really like Sooyoung's top; Tiffany's black nail on her mouth makes it look like she's missing a tooth.

Uploader's gone crazy and refuses to upload the very last photo, so I leave all of you with these pictures only. If you haven't guessed already, I love pretty much all the images and am extremely excited for their new release. Anyone else excited?

On a side note, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OUR READERS! And may you have an amazing year ahead of you!

I just realised that I haven't been listening to a lot of Korean pop songs recently. OH NO! Don't worry, don't worry, I still love my Kpop. It's just that there haven't been a lot of new songs that I really like. Maybe cause I've been in the mood for some electronic, repetitive stuff so been switching between my Korean indie and English/European/American electronic stuff a lot. Hopefully there are some good comebacks before the end of the year!

There are 2 songs Kpop songs though that were not too bad and I quite like them. First up is B1A4's Try to Walk. This group has potential! Considering how this title song (and 2 other songs) was written by leader Jinyoung, it really is not bad! BARO LOOKS REALLY ADORABLE IN THIS VIDEO TOO OMAGAD LOOK AT THAT PASTEL PINK AND PURPLE HAIR OMAGAD okay.


The other one is Boyfriend's Soulmate. I'm okay with the title song, not too into it. But I'm more into Soulmate. Idk, it reminds me of something Infinite would sing. I really love stuff like this so BOYFRIEND, GET MORE STUFF LIKE THIS AND I'LL FORGET ABOUT THE TERRIBLE GROUP NAME YOU HAVE!


Yeah, I hope this post explains why I haven't been posting much. I also have a lot of uni app related stuff to do now. Naz was sick 2 days ago and has a lot of work to do too so for this few months posting won't be frequent and regular! :/

NS Yoon-G ft Jay Park- If you love me


And the dance practice version (I find the dance SHO CUTE)

Supreme Team-Dang Dang Dang  (Simon D FTW!)



316- No way to go home (It's instrumental music, mainly piano)



316- It's all about you

Hello Hello Hello! Apologies for been gone for so long. It's been hectic, but I'll save the details to prevent you from dying of boredom.

I've got tons to talk about, but my very first "return" post, will be about none other than Ailee! The title of this post simply means Ailee. If any of you readers don't know, "Ai" in Chinese Mandarin means "Love". Just trying to make them titles a little more interesting to look at. haha

This, unfortunately will be a more video spamming post rather than a wordy post, but I'm sure everyone is more keen on a video post rather than me waffling on things right? Let's get into it then!

*Take note, the videos that will be posted are not only just her solo songs, or ones that include her belting out, but also various raps, both in English and Korean!

Wheesung ft Ailee- They are coming


eSNa and Ailee- random christmas song (taken from eSNa's youtube channel)


Decipher ft Ailee- Catch me if you can


A remix version of the song above, sung with other rappers


And lastly, if anyone hasn't heard her new single yet, here she is with "I'll show you" (I chose this stage because the graphics for this is super pretty compared to like...KBS stages.

Oh snap yes I found more indie! I went a little crazy on the K indie hunting the past week thanks to Naz introducing me to Vodka Rain (I shall save them for a later date). I downloaded 8 albums.....yay?

Okay. The Koxx....WHY DIDN'T I LIKE THEM EARLIER?! I've heard of them before quite a while back but I didn't really like their first ever song 'Troublemaker' so I didn't bother checking out their other stuff. Fast forward (or rewind?) to a few months back when their latest album Bon Voyage came out. I gave '사랑춤' a listen and I was like "Cooooooool!" but still didn't bother looking at their other stuff. It was not until 2 freaking days ago when I heard another song of their 'The Words' that I thought "Hey, not bad! Let's check out their other stuff!" and BAM HOLY MAMA WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING OUT! Proceed to download all their albums.

Oh yeah before I forget, you kinda have to...learn how to deal with Hyunsong's English....It's not really Engrish but more like his pronunciation? It doesn't make the band or songs less amazing though. One way to avoid going WTF IS HE SAYING is never to search the lyrics for the songs. I'm warning you okay because I did that for one of their other songs (T.O.R.I) and I kinda cringe everytime I listen to it because I cannot stand how he was pronouncing some of the words which is such a pity because I absolutely love the bass of that song! But I got used to it so...TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!


사랑춤 (Love Dance) is quite the catchy tune. I really LOOOOOOOVE the guitar in this song. The video is so irrelevant, so random and so crazy.

 
The Words is like a totally different side of The Koxx. It's so slow and repetitive but so beautiful. And then it hits 5.13 mark and the feel of the song just changes and omg it's just so good.


Refuse is currently my favourite. I showed this to a few non Korean music loving friends (like I do for all my favourite songs) and they actually think it's really good. Trust me, this song really is amazing.


Oh how could I not include T.O.R.I. This is the song that suffered the most from Hyunsong's pronunciation. But like I said that doesn't make this song any less awesome!

They deserve more lovinggggg really! They are really the talented bunch with Hyunsong and Sooryun (♥) featuring in DJ Clazzi's solo album Infant, them composing and writing a song for 4minute's Volume Up album and featuring in Brown Eyed Girl's Miryo's solo album! Promising no?

Edit: I listened to the rest of their songs and found my favourite. A Fool Moon Night is the best song by them EVER!

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.

Epik High is back with a track titled "It's Cold" featuring Kpop Star finalist and SuPearls member Lee Ha Yi!

Now I haven't heard of ALOT of Epik High's old work but is it safe for me to say that this track is not as hardcore as their old stuff (correct me if I'm wrong here!)? I have to say, I really like Lee Ha Yi's vocal here. I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!

Check it out below!

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.

News: Big Bang's Seungri caught up in sex scandal rumours after release of pictures by Japanese tabloid 'Friday'
Ain't nothing more shocking than this during the month of September! If you want to read about Rachee's view on this, please head on over here

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.


Ok, I know her hair is a little funky, but a little unique-ness goes a long way right?

Next up,
 

Kim Bo Hyun is the Maknae as well as the Main vocalist of this group. It was stated that she was suppose to debut with 2NE1, but I guess it didn't work out. I always wondered how people that were suppose to debut with now successful groups feel like. Would they feel hatred and regret, or would they be happy for their friends/accomplices? It was also reported she was an ex trainee of both YG and JYP. oohhh, don't know what happened there. Maybe individual differences? I can understand if a totally weird concept was forced on them, and she didn't like it. Something like "Bo Beep" would've made me walk out the door. I know it was a hit and everything, but I wouldn't be caught dead doing those moves on stage. I mean, you don't train for all those years just to wear paw gloves and act cute on stage. 

Proceeding on...
 

Yang JiWon is the face, vocalist and Main dancer of the group. This girl also has some pretty damn interesting background as well. She was originally a member of "Five Girls" which didn't end up debuting, and consisted of G.Na, After School's UEE, Secret's Hyosung as well as Wonder Girl's Yubin. And check this, she was a member of T-ara, but because of  "creative differences", she left the group before it debuted. Good thing you did, you won't have to put up with KKS and his shit ideas. 

Rappin it?

 

Main Rapper and Vocalist of the group (I swear, everyone in the group can actually legit sing well, even the rapper) is Park Joo Hyun. She was featured in label mate Heo Young Saeng music video and also performed the rapping bits on some live stages. Oh, and she's the oldest. Rachee: "She is also going out with Shinhwa's JUNJIN! D:

Last but not least,

Park NaRae is the lead dancer as well as a vocalist. She was in the first season of superstar K. 

Since this post has been pretty lengthy, I'll stop here and sign off with a nicely harmonised videos of them singing.
