Super Junior's Boom Boom

2010-05-17T01:13:00.002+08:00

After watching the week's music programs, i've come to really like Super Junior's song "Boom Boom". I think the song has a very catchy beat and tune. Fun to watch when performed onstage.

So I found out that the song "Boom Boom" was originally written and composed by Ray Lavender along with some other guys called "Reverse HQ" and SM Entertainment bought the rights to the song for a remake, Just like SM bought the rights for Run Devil Run which was supposed to be for ke$ha. Check out the original below:

Ray Lavender's Version

Super Junior's Version

Which one do you like better? I think both are equally great. Just that it's visually better with 10 hot boys dancing to the song... lol :P

Music Core Recap!

2010-05-16T02:54:00.007+08:00

Yup it's time for Music Core once again! :D

Chung Lim "Face" I think he's really charming. Haven't heard from him for a while, so it's good to see him back onstage. :}

Davichi "Time, Please Stop!" I'm starting to think that the intro to the song remind me of some nursery song... Love the set by the way.

F(x) "Nu Abo" I think Amber is getting prettier...

After School "Bang!"

Lee Jung Hyun "Suspicious Man"

8eight "Farwell Is Coming" I still feel the tug at my heart everytime i hear them perform this song live...

B2ST "Special" They are in Purple today! :D This is their goodbye stage for Music Core.

2PM "Without U" The fans screaming is a little over today... just my thoughts... :[

Super Junior Comeback Stage "Boom Boom" The sound was a bit bad today... but it doesn't affect them at all! For a few seconds i was totally drawn in by Sungmin. And Heechul's ending was captivating as well! ^.^

Super Junior Comeback Stage "Bonamana" I actually really like what Leeteuk wore today... n seriously, i think Heechul gives off a very different feel today. :}

Rain "Hip Song" OK! I officially miss his plan clothes look. The long sleeve top with jeans or tank top with checkered shirt n jeans kind... what he wore today, made them (including his dancers) looked as though they had a belly when in actual truth it's ABs! OMG! D: Can his stylist do something about it?

Lee Hyori "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" Totally love what she wore today and love her entrance. She really DID looked like a Diva today. :D

Mblaq's Y!

2010-05-16T02:16:00.002+08:00

Amidst the return of hard-hitting senior artists including their senior artist Rain, the members of MBLAQ are finally back with their comeback track Y!

As the MV teaser promised, Y is a sexy dance track with an infectious beat and repetitive hooks complete with sad lyrics and an underlying darkness. I’ve only heard this track in full a few times, and I’m already really, really liking it; how about you? (I really do :D)

We are now a few days closer to MBLAQ’s return to the stage, so stay tuned for the music video and the members’ live comeback! Make sure to support these young men by purchasing their album upon its release on May 18.

Reason to Wooyoung’s lipsyncing

2010-05-16T01:58:00.003+08:00

Some of you would have noticed that i've mentioned in those music program recaps that 2pm's Wooyoung was lipsyncing during his parts and i was asking why. Well recently i've found the reasons to it.

It was reported that Wooyoung had been showing signs of vocal cord nodule just before their comeback.

A JYPE representative said after the show, “Since making a comeback with 2PM, Wooyoung’s condition hasn’t been at its best. Doctors have recommended that Wooyoung should not strain his vocals during this period and thus we decided to use the AR version for his part during the performance as a precaution.”

Wooyoung will however continue with his MC duties on Win Win and Inkigayo.

2PM has not been performing at 100% since making their return, as fellow member Junsu recently injured his knee and is now wearing a foot cast during performances, while hobbling around with a crutch for support.

But despite the above, 2PM has had a pretty successful comeback, having already won a triple crown on M! Countdown while winning the K-Chart for two consecutive weeks. They will be looking to win their first Mutizen this Sunday on Inkigayo.

2PM releases 3 It’s Skin CF

2010-05-16T01:27:00.004+08:00

2PM had an endorsement deal with Hanbul Cosmetics to model their It’s Skin clinical skin solution line. 3CFs have been circulating around and boy are they all hilarious. Check it out below:

1st Version
In this 30s CF you get to see Taecyeon acting girly, Wooyoung applying sunblock on Chansung’s back, Junho and Junsu imitatating Rain. :D

2nd Version
In this CF, Taecyeon’s part at the beginning remains the same, the rest are new scenes. Chansung is now the one giving Wooyoung a rub and sharing a moment, Nichkhun gets a girl rubbing her face on his arm while Junsu and Junho have a perverted chat. (I like Junsu and Junho's part best... lol)

3rd Version
The 3rd version begins with Taecyeon trying to look cool by ripping his shirt Hulk Hogan style, but he fails to do so and runs away. It then shows Wooyoung applying sunblock on Chansung and Wooyoung complains that Chansung's deadskins are falling off. Nichkhun then receives a shoulder neck ride by 2006 Miss Korea 2nd runner-up Jang Yun Seo. It ends with Junsu and Junho talking in satoori accents while cruising in a limousine. Junho asks why is Junsu putting on the sunblock by himself and Junsu replies because he’s going farming. (I don't understand the farming part)

Here's the bonus behind the scene interview!

One Way's new MV Wrong Number!

2010-05-16T00:51:00.002+08:00

One Way has just released their brand new MV, Wrong Number, it's really an amazing vocal track. Seriously these boys can sing! You actually hear a softer side to One Way's music. :D

Check out the MV below:

Check out their behind the scene photos at allkpop!

Daesung performs with Lee Hyori on Sketchbook

2010-05-16T00:18:00.004+08:00

Last week we reported that Lee Hyori would perform a duet with Big Bang’s Daesung on Yoo Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook. Earlier in the week photos of the duet performance was released.

They performed the song How Did We Get which features Daesung from Hyori’s latest album. The two became close friends via their appearances on SBS Family Outing. You can check out the performance here:

How Did We Get

Interview (You can see that Hyori is totally entertained by Daesung... and Daesung really is a comedian! His dance always made me laugh nonstop)

Daesung "Cotton Candy" I think while he was singing halfway, he had some problem with his throat, can tell that he was trying to "clear" it... But it's still a splendid peroformance. :)

Lee Hyori "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" It's the first time i've seen the dancers face clearly without their "scary" makeup... lol

4minute’s comeback teaser photos unveiled!

2010-05-15T03:58:00.007+08:00

This month we sure do have a lot of comebacks to anticipate. Not forgetting 4minute on the list!

It’s been a while since we’ve seen 4minute on the Korean stage, but the ladies have been building suspense for their return for the past few days with an esoteric layout on their official website. We’ve now received photos for the girls’ return, and it’s definitely something to get excited for!

Although the exact concept isn’t clear yet, the quintet’s outfits plus the scenery suggest something modern & fashionable. We see the members in a variety of styles, from HyunA’s biker look to Gayoon’s chic & elegant style.

Which one is your favorite? Are you pumped for the girls’ return?

Music Bank Recap!

2010-05-14T19:08:00.002+08:00

I was totally hysterical when i found out that i've got to watch Music Bank LIVE on my very own television at my very own comfort HOME! Lots of new faces today and the show was GREAT!

F.Cuz Chinese Version of Jiggy Revealed!

2010-05-14T05:57:00.002+08:00

Not too long ago, it was reported that F.Cuz went taiwan for their Jiggy promotions. They've debuted over in taiwan with Jiggy and they had a collaboration with a local singer Yao Yao who also is under the same record company as F.Cuz in taiwan.

When i first heard the chinese version of the song, i felt that the original which is the korean version was nicer in comparison. Mainly because the lyrics fits better to the melody. But having seen the Mv which was released sometime ago, personally, i like the chinese mv more. Having a girl in the mv added a magical touch to it and it brings off the chinese lyrics of the song too.

I have to say that F.Cuz looked really charming here, and i know they are young, but they really look cute (in a sense more of their age). You can check out the Mv here:

Here's their original mv:

Their 2nd version to Jiggy:

So which is your favourite? :D

M! Countdown Recap!

2010-05-14T02:51:00.006+08:00

Yeah! It's time of the week again. Had the time to watch it live this time round, but the line was a bit screwed up, jumpy at some parts but the show was still GOOD!

The leader still looks tired though... Hope he'll recover soon.

2PM "Without U" A little mistake at the back... :P Can somebody tell me why is Wooyoung still not singing? :{

Rain "Hip Song" I'm really happy that he's promoting Hip Song now... but i really don't like what he wore today. :{ And after the ripping pants incident, he's wearing exercise shorts now... lol

Seo In Guk "Love U" He sure got lots of fans here :D

Jung Seul Gi "Finally In Its Place"

Lee Jung Hyun Comeback stage "Suspicious Man"

8Eight "The End Is Coming" I've got goosebumps hearing them... i can't imagine watching them live, i think i'll cry, because it's such an emotional song.

B2ST "Easy" I really like Hyunseung's look today. Prince charming ^.^ and Yoseob looks cute with the bow tie...

Fans cheer for B2ST!

B2ST "Special" With this, they are saying goodbye... :{

And the winner is...

2PM!

Gummy - There is No Love Mv Revealed!

2010-05-14T02:02:00.003+08:00

Some of you might have already heard Gummy sing There is No Love a few times on the different music programmes. Here's the MV for your viewing pleasure! I like the whole feel to the MV. Love the ending part the most, and it's also one of the few MVs that Gummy herself is in it all the way (if you know what i'm talking about). :D

MBLAQ reveals teaser for Y

2010-05-14T01:49:00.004+08:00

Not so long ago, Mblaq released their album teasers which left some fangirls wanting more, they now released another teaser for their comeback title track called Y.

We are just a week away from MBLAQ’s comeback and this new teaser only serves to heighten the anticipation among fans. And this dance track Y is said to be the infamous track that was supposed to be Rain’s title track in the past before it became MBLAQ’s title track.

MBLAQ will release their new album on the 18th and perform their first comeback stage on the 20th through M! Countdown. Do look forward to it!

I don't know bout you, but i thought that the first few seconds of the beat really reminded me of Boom Boom Pow by Black Eyed Peas...

Well, we just have to wait and see how the whole song goes. But looking at the teaser, i'm already liking it. Was a little shock with what the boys were wearing, but then again, it's too short of a teaser for me to make my judgement.

Lee Joon don't get much of an airtime in the teaser... and the beginning scene, for a split second i really thought it was Rain. LoL...

Super Junior Bonamana Mv Revealed!

2010-05-13T02:31:00.003+08:00

It was previously reported that Super Junior would release the MV for their heavily anticipated comeback single BONAMANA on the 12th. Well fans, prepare to scream your hearts out because that day has finally arrived!

Together with SM Entertainment, the 10 members of Super Junior released various concept photos, the 4th album tracklist, the MV teaser and the full song to get the ball rolling on their comeback. If all of the aforementioned did not get you guys excited enough, the full MV definitely will! Check it out below.

What's your after thoughts on the MV? I've got lots of comments from different ones, like "The beginning part really reminds me of some bollywood movie" or "Omg! They are so hot!" and also "We finally know who's singing what part..." and the comments just go on...

Well, for me, i thought it's not that bad. Sad part is that even though we're down with 10 people, Shindong still hardly get a chance to sing or have enough "airtime". I would say that some of the boys did train hard, especially Donghae and Leeteuk. You can see their beautiful muscles and all. Love some of their new look too, especially Sungmin's hair. ^.^ And Kyuhyun is one of them who got to stand at the front to dance this time round instead of the usual 3 (Shindong, Eunhyuk and Donghae).

I would give 7/10 stars for this MV, why not 10/10? Well one thing is i always believe that there's room for improvement and also, this MV didn't wow me as much as their teaser. Or should i say i'm kind of disappointed. Because there wasn't anything special, and it looked like Sorry Sorry's Mv. :{

But despite all that, don’t forget to show your support for the boys by pre-ordering their 4th album at YesAsia! Remember that there are Type A and Type B versions of the album.

The full 4th album will be dropping on the 13th and the boys are set to return to the stage on Music Bank on the 14th. Is everyone ready to bounce baby bounce with Super Junior once more? I know I am! Can't wait for their LIVE! :D

Introducing Code-V

2010-05-13T01:32:00.002+08:00

Coming soon to the K-pop scene is a five member boy band named Code-V. They’re coming back with a new upcoming single titled Addiction.

Although this will be the debut of Code-V, this really isn’t a true debut per se. The group had originally debuted in 2007 under the name Bless, but they were flopped and immediately left the scene (so it doesn’t really count). Even though their initial debut was a bust, the boys are confident that this time around, things will be different.

These five boys which make up Code-V (with the V being the roman numeral representation for the number 5) include Taemin, Sang Woo, Nallo, Sol and Jae Won.

Sang Woo and Nallo have worked with SG Wannabe member Lee Seok Hoon and Blue Wind Soul. Taemin worked as a vocal trainer, Sol was the singer / song writer for an indie rock band and maknae Jaewon comes in with his rapping skills.

All of these boys come from various backgrounds. With a variety of talents in their arsenal, will they be able to succeed?

Code-V will be making their debut / comeback with the release of Addiction on the 13th. Check out some tracks that they released back when they were known as Bless.

Bless "Homme"

Bless "December 32"

Ahead of their album release on the 13th, the MV teaser for their title track Addiction has been released. Think this time round they are coming back with a different approach. Looks promising and let’s hope they find success this time!

Addiction Teaser

I don't know about you, but after watching the teaser, it reminded me a lot on One Republic's Apologize...

Don't you think so? Let's hope the MV will not turn out to be similar to this... *Cross fingers*

Seung Ri wears his Hyungs' Clothes

2010-05-13T01:21:00.005+08:00

I saw this news the other day and i find it rather interesting... so i thought i should share it here too. :}

As the title says it all, it's our maknae from Big Bang who loves his hyung's closet that he wears them too. But frankly, he's not the only one doing it i'm very sure of that... :D

Here's some picture to share...
Seungri and Daesung

Seungri and GD

Seungri and everybody else

I think there's totally nothing wrong with sharing clothes. I do see a lot of them wearing the same things too not just within Big Bang, like there were instances where GD and CL from 2ne1 wore the same top before and other artists too...

So long as everyone wears it their own way, i think it's pretty cool. And for Seungri, i think he looks just as good as his hyungs in all those clothes above. Cause he wore it his own way. :D

B2ST’s Gikwang releases 2 Tio Iced Tea CFs!

2010-05-13T00:26:00.002+08:00

Though we often see him maintaining his cool and sexy charisma on the dance stage, BEAST’s Gikwang reveals that there’s more to his character than what we initially see.

The BEAST-ly member stars in 2 recently released CFs for the popular Tio Iced Tea. In the first CF, we can feast our eyes on the idol’s amazing body as he exits the bathroom in only a towel. Just when you think it can’t possibly get any better, we watch him crumble under pressure as he tries to re-enter the bathroom after he realizes that he entered a room filled with women.

Aww... he's shy...

The 2nd CF is just as comical as the first Gikwang seeks a cool refuge from the stifling heat, but his fridge unfortunately lacks the iced tea he’s looking for. So in the end he chose to just stay inside the fridge. The spanking he gets from his mother towards the end of the CF should definitely get you guys giggling.

I like the second one better. :}

Which did you all prefer? :}

4minute unveils Japanese Muzik MV!

2010-05-12T04:55:00.002+08:00

Not so long ago 4minute unveiled their Japanese rendition of hit track Muzik, now they have followed up with a brand new music video for your viewing pleasure!

Although the MV was completed with the same concept as the original Muzik, the Japanese version seemed like a revamped version.

Furthermore, in this version, Jiyoon also takes off her sunglasses a bit earlier in the song than in the original video (2:21), and actually yanks them off in a split second instead of the dramatic moment we’re used to in the Korean version.

Anyway, check it out here and tell us what you think!

Here's the korean version if you want reference.

Personally, i like the korean version better. Let's first talk about the song first. When i first heard the Japanese version, i thought i wasn't that bad. Only felt that part of the emotion for the song was gone. Like the tempo felt a little slower, maybe because it's pretty hard to fill in the exact same number of words from korean to japanese, therefore there's a slight change in the mood.

Then the Mv... I like the korean one more, because listening to the song it gives me a party mood. So naturally you'll think of something colourful which the korean version have all along, in terms of their wardrobe to set and even light designs. But for the Japanese version, i think they'll going for the sleek and chic look so everything is darker. Though i have to agree the girls looked more beautiful in the japanese version, but i still prefered the entired "feel" of the korean version. What do you guys think?

After School "Bang!" I really wonder how many uniforms do they have. But this is my favourite so far. Simple and nice! :D

B2ST "Special" Really like their formal wear theme! :D All of them look so good!

Lee Hyori "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"

Rain "Love Song"

And the winner is...

Music Core Recap!

2010-05-12T02:43:00.008+08:00

It's time for Music Core Recap once again! :D This time we've got lots of comeback stage to anticipate! Look forward to them!

Jerry Ft T-ara Hyomin "Love"

Secret "Magic"

F(x) "Nu Abo" NananananananaNa Nu ABO!

2PM "Without U" If you are wondering how come Junsu is not moving a lot, well he has an injury. So i totally salute him, because not everyone can do that... Respect!

After School "Bang!"

ZE:A "All Day Long" Can u spot the fan service here? lol...

Gummy Comeback Stage "No Love" Gummy POWER!!! Love her live... She reminds me a little of our taiwan's diva Ah Mei, great vocals!

Gummy "Because of You" A bit short...

Gummy "As A Man" I really am in love with this song (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh... yeah!)

B2ST "Special" This performance really made me laugh. Not because of the boys, but because the camera man couldn't capture the right people at the right time. Once when Dong Woon is singing they got Junhyung's back for a few second, and then when Hyunseung is singing, they got Yoseob and Yoseob actually points to Hyunseung then the camera man realized he got the wrong person again... lol

Rain "Love Song" Seriously i miss Hip Song's performance a lot... miss looking at his cute and stylish side... :{

Lee Hyori "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" I LOVE LOVE LOVE her hair! I wanna go grab a wig like that too! :D

Hankyung releases his World Expo 2010 theme song

2010-05-12T02:33:00.002+08:00

It was a bittersweet day for fans of Super Junior because as their idols begun their first step towards their comeback, it also represented the final notice in that they will only promote with just 10 out of their original 13 members.

One of the missing trio who won’t be promoting with Super Junior, Hankyung will however still be singing for fans, but it will be through the theme song, The World Watching China for the World Expo 2010, currently ongoing in Shanghai.

Hankyung had earlier performed the song on May 2nd at a Chinese Culture event and the full song was released today. Hankyung expressed that Chinese culture is an important pop element of the contemporary world and he will do his best to represent China through this song and promote Chinese culture.

Weird though, i really think Hankyung sounds much nicer when singing in Korean. Maybe it's just me... But nontheless would still like to wish him all the best in all that he do! :D

PS: The picture used for the youtube cover reminds me of a character of final fantasy... lol :P

M! Countdown Recap!

2010-05-12T01:10:00.008+08:00

This is supposed to be shown like on 6 May, but because i was busy at work and all i didn't have the time to put them up here... but just in case you haven't watch them, here there are! M!Countdown Recap! Enjoy! :}

B2ST "Easy"(Sincere Version) I really like this version. Though i feel that vocally they can still improve, but if you listen to their recorded version, it's really good. I think they boys have grown in their vocal ability. Can't wait for their future improvements... :D

Lee Hyori "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" She never fails to impress me with her fashion sense... I think she sounds and looks breathless here though...

2PM "Without U" The more i look at this the more i think the choreography is pretty sleek... not the dance moves, but more of the movements around the stage, i think it's very nicely done. :} really like the part when Nickhun rap, how he walks from the back to the front if you know what i mean.

Rain "Love Song" I wonder if he can hear himself here... :{ he sounded a bit weird. :{

OMG!!! No vest today... lol!

B2ST "Special" JUNHYUNG!!! He looks so good here!

Seo In Kook "Love U" I think he's totally enjoying his comeback stage. Can see the joy that emits within. Love this performance, makes one smile. :}

2PM "Don't Stop Can't Stop"

Jerry Ft Baby J "Love"

Secret "Magic"

Gil Hak Mi "Boom Boom Boom"

Seo In Kook "Last Birthday" Gosh... you can hardly hear this kind of singing nowadays, because the trend is digital sound, with his singing like that i'm sure he can get any girls he wants... :}

Chung Lim "Face"

And the winner is...

2PM!

CNBlue to comeback as plan and new track Love Light unveiled!

2010-05-11T04:20:00.003+08:00

I was greatly sadden when CNBLUE’s leader Jung Yonghwa was diagnosed with vocal cord nodule last month, but it was reported that CNBLUE’s comeback date would still proceed as scheduled, that also means that Jung Yonghwa is getting better! :}

According to FNC Music, they will be making sure to give Jung Yonghwa a light schedule for the first few weeks of CNBLUE’s comeback so that his vocal cord nodule does not get worse.

FNC Music stated, “While we were finishing up [CNBLUE's] new music, Jung Yonghwa was diagnosed with vocal cord nodule. Fortunately, he is recovering quicker than we thought so we have been given the OK sign from the doctors for him to continue singing.We are going as planned to keep our promises made with the fans. But to protect the artist’s health, the amount of the group’s activities will be reduced for the first few weeks.”

As a result, the boys will be making their comeback on the 19th! But before they release their new title track on the 19th, they will be releasing another track, which is composed by Jung Yonghwa himself, on the 10th to get the fans fired up.

Here's their track titled Love Light from their upcoming second mini-album Bluelove!

I think it's a lovely song that you can swing your head to, but sad to say that I can hear the difference in Jung Yonghwa's vocals... he sound a little like Hongki now with the huskiness when he sings. I really hope he gets well soon, like completely well... >~<

Anyway, I wish CNBlue all the best in their comeback as it'll be really exciting this month with soooooo many groups and solo artists coming back into the scene. Can't wait to catch them onstage again!

Seo In Kook’s Comeback

2010-05-11T03:41:00.004+08:00

We sure do have a lot of artists coming back this month! Not forgetting Seo In Kook! He's actually one of my favorite male singer. He's got great vocals, and must i add that all the songs that he sung were GOOD. So i had high expectation for he's come back!

First, he impressed us with his comeback photo. He really did slim down a lot for this album and boy he sure looks great.

Then his comeback teasers were released... check it out here:

Many scenes from the MV were filmed in Thailand and it had a big budget of $270,000. Want to watch what's the MV like? Check it out here:

Seo In Kook has finally released the music video for his comeback title track, Love U. Ahead of his mini album, Just Beginning release on May 6th, Seo In Kook’s music video starring actress Kim Min Jung has been released by MNET Media. The music video was filmed earlier this month in Phuket, Thailand and sees the return of Kim Min Jung after her long layoff due to her shoulder injury.

The MV storyline is pretty familiar as in female celebrity gets bored of her rigid lifestyle, escapes and falls in love with a man who helps her.

Frankly it's not an MV with a WOW factor, but i would say that the places that they are at for the shoot were really beautiful. It brings off the luxury life style that a celebrity can have i guess. BUT his song "Love U" however didn't disappoint me at all. What do you guys think?

His album tracklisting as follows:
01. Beginning
02. 사랑해 U
03. 마지막 생일
04. 왜 웃기만해
05. Prime Time (Feat. Lisa)
06. 첫눈에 (Feat. BEKA of Afterschool)

Big Bang and Kim Yuna for Hyundai’s The Shouts Of Reds, United Korea

2010-05-11T01:25:00.004+08:00

Why are Big Bang spotted together with our Ice Skating princess Kim Yuna? Apparently, they’re both participating in Hyundai’s The Shouts Of Reds, United Korea project to show support for the Korean National team in the upcoming 2010 Fifa World Cup.

Here's the teaser:

It's good to see the boys again isn't it? :} Expect to see some dancing in the full video as Kim Yuna was spotted in dance rehearsal with Big Bang in what seems to be YG Entertainment’s new dance rehearsal room, you can view the photos below:

Here's some of the screenshots from the Hyundai World Cup Website:

I have no idea why Taeyang is wearing a mask in the photos... lets just hope he's not ill...

Super Junior's Comeback!

2010-05-11T00:52:00.006+08:00

First off a message from Siwon and Heechul to all ELFs out there!

"Hello everyone, this is Super Junior Choi Siwon! I don’t know what to say. Right now there isn’t any merchandise, but we have returned with our fourth album as a gift for you all. We’ve put lots of effort into our fourth album, we’re not kidding… You won’t get bored even after listening to the album for an entire day. At the moment, I’m working hard with preparations for Super Junior’s comeback performance and the filming for Oh! My Lady. Everyone will get to see a handsome prince! I’m really anticipating a fanmeeting with our everlasting friends, ELF. ELFs, I love you all!"

"Hello, this is Super Junior’s Kim Heechul! On this spring day, we of Super Junior are releasing our fourth album to greet everyone. (Shindong: YEAHHH!) Last year we returned with Sorry, Sorry, it feels like that happened so recently… Yeah, it’s been a long time since our third album. (Shindong: YEAHHH!) The fourth album which we are working on right now will be revealed soon for everyone. I wonder which song people will like. Obviously, it should be the new single! Please support us & love our music (Shindong: We have confidence!), and thank you, Kim Heechul will work hard. (Shindong: KIM HEECHUL!) Good-bye everyone! (Shindong: I love you!) Kim Heechul! (with Shindong:) Milky white skin, Kim Heechul!"

Aren't you guys excited just from hearing from these 2 members of super junior? Not enough? Here's some photos of their comeback!

Like most of their photos, i hope that they'll have some solo shots too, it's a bit hard to see all of their wonderful transformation, but i have to say that the boys are looking better then ever! They've also released their comeback teaser "Miinah/Bonamana" on 7th May. Check it out here:

HOT HOT HOT! You can really tell that they boys worked HARD for this upcoming album. A lot of them actually trained hard and you can tell by their looks. A lot more masculine! I'm really looking forward to the full MV for this song too. While just incase you're waiting in agony like me, here's a preview of their song "Bonamana" which was released not so long ago...

Like it? I do! Although i think it does sound a little like Sorry Sorry and Ring Ding Dong... We can do a remix of these songs together. :P

Miinah/Bonamana is a dance track composed by a hit composer Yoo Young Jin. The track is categorized in SJ FUNKY (Super Junior Funky) genre as it will have a bouncy African rhyme along with house beats. I can't wait to see their comeback performance starting with this week's Music Bank! :}

Yesasia also revealed the tracklist to their 4th album!
01. 미인아 (BONAMANA)
02. 나쁜 여자 (Boom Boom)
03. 응결 (Coagulation)
04. 나란 사람 (Your Eyes)

07. Shake It Up!

Are you ALL excited for Super Junior’s comeback? I know many of you are just itching for these young men to return to the stage! I'm one of them! :}

Mblaq's Comback!

2010-05-10T23:45:00.002+08:00

Everyone's been waiting patiently for Mblaq's comeback for sometime, and finally we're hearing some news from them!

What do you think? I really like Lee Joon's new look! Also, G.O look really different too without his facial hair! Their 2nd single album's comeback is set to release on 18th of May, so be sure to mark the date on your calendar! :D

Check out their comeback teaser here:

Personally, i feel that their teaser has a "familiar" feel to it. It really reminds me of Rain's "Love Song". Because of the setting and as well as the girl and how it was shot i guess. I can't wait to see the full MV though. I think this song is gonna be good, it shows us a different side of Mblaq. :}

Baby Prince Yoogeun in a Commercial! :D

2010-05-10T23:36:00.004+08:00

Although Shinee's Hello Baby is over, our baby prince is still active and around! Yoogeun is back on the small screen with a new commercial. In the CF for Pulmuone that was released, the four-year-old boy clearly enjoys himself by interacting with other kids and eating away happily.

Although it’s only thirty seconds long, this commercial will have anyone, Hello Baby fan or not, cooing from the adorableness. Don't believe? Check it out here:

Here's a bonus for those of you Yooguen fans... :}

Cute? I hope he'll grow up to be a handsome baby! Hope to see him in more commercials or even in the showbiz sometime!

f(x)’s Comeback! NU ABO!

2010-05-10T15:23:00.009+08:00

First off, sorry guys, wasn't able to do any updating cos i've been busy at work... I feel superbly out of touch, but nevermind, i'm back! ^.^

Here's some updates on some older news, but it's never too much to watch/read/hear about them again and again right? :}

Some of you might already know that f(x) is coming back with their song Nu Abo! Well here's some promotional photos for their comeback.

I think the girls look really good in their new concept. Love their hair a lot! :}
Their album was released on May 4th and you can find more information on their official website also take a listen to their album here!

Here's the a little teaser before the MV!

NanananananananaNa! lol... pretty addicitve right? :} Well let's look at the full Mv and see how Nu Abo goes!

I think f(x)'s mv all has a certain kind of style and this definately kept to it. What do you guys think after watching the Mv? I think it's an addictive song interms of the NanananananaNa part :} and it's more like a rap song instead of the normal song with catchy melody. So i guess it takes some time of getting used to.

Personally, i really like 2 other of their songs in their new album. Surprise Party and Sorry(Dear Daddy), i think these 2 songs are more for special occasion and the last song "Sorry" really brings out the emotions. I think the girls have done a good job for this album. What do you think? :}

Zuno's Showcase 1st May 2010

2010-05-06T04:10:00.023+08:00

FINALLY! I know i know... though it's almost 1 week after the showcase, it's still never too late to update about it right?

Sorry guys, seriously because i'm working on a laptop, plus i fell sick immediately after the showcase, i took a while to edit the photos and videos and it's finally done today! :}

So as promised i present to you Zuno's Singapore Showcase Updates!

The showcase was held at Sentosa Resort World (the same place where Singapore Star Awards held their ceremony). I think it's a really nice place for concerts and all, only thing it's a little inconvenient. Especially on public holidays. Because Sentosa is practically PACKED! I was SHOCKED when i went to take the monorail with my friends from vivo city. It's CROWDED! Forgot to take a picture, if not i can show it to you guys here...

Anyway, we arrived at the venue and went into the hall to look for our seats. I was in block A2, but not very front, almost the last few rows of that block. But i'm still thankful that i got invited to watch the showcase. :}

The show started ON TIME! We don't get this often in Singapore, except for those LIVE telecast shows by mediacorp, if not it's always slightly later then the stated time. The host Liyi(for some of you who don't know who she is, she's an ex 933DJ) came on stage and did some warming up and of course how can we forget the ice breaker games?

The fans had their names written down on a piece of paper before the show, and Liyi picked 2 out of the many to go onstage for a little "surprise". I didn't catch the first one, because i too was surprised that they had an arrangement like that. But i was in time for the 2nd one. :}

Well, as you can see from the video, Zuno actually called the fan on stage, and the fans were supposed to hold a conversation with him. But BOTH the fans were too excited and nervous i guess, so the conversation ended pretty quickly. It's definately something for them to remember for a life time. I know that kind of excitement, trust me. :}

After that, the showcase started promptly. Zuno started the show with a bang with "Nothing to Lose". I have the say that the song is rather addictive if you keep listening to it, but the live version was better. Although it was too loud that day, i'm surprised that my audio from my camera didn't turn out too bad.

Zuno did a sexy dance with his dancers too. I think it's not bad for someone so tall...

After that, Liyi came back onstage to have an interview with Zuno. I can't remember exactly what the questions were, but you can read about them here even though the article is from his fan meet at movida, trust me that the questions were almost all similar, because not everyone gets to go to the fan meet.

In order to impress us further and also because we're in Singapore, Zuno presented to us an English song titled "Just Once". I think he's better with his chinese pronounciation but i still give credits to him, because even i can't speak 3 languages fluently. XP

After the song, it was the moment that MOST of the fans were waiting for. It was Junsu's guest appearance. Personally, when i saw Junsu, I wasn't starstruck or whatsoever, I kinda feel that he wasn't in the best of mood that day, then again i may be wrong. He sang "Greatest Love of All" and boy was i impressed. I know that Junsu can sing, but he really did sound VERY good live. I felt very blessed seeing him for the first time, because he's like such a far away figure.

After that came my fav segment for the night. Like i've mentioned earlier, lots of fans were present because of Junsu. Nothing wrong with that though. And alot of them were screaming their lungs out whenever Junsu's face appears on screen. Be it in a picture form or a video form. Everyone was excited. I felt a little disappointed, because i felt that Zuno didn't get the attention that he deserved that night. Until he sang this song and i was proven WRONG!

For the 1st time that night, i felt goosebumps all over me(for good reasons). When he sang "ni ai wo ma?" and everyone in the hall responded "AI!!!" that awed me. It made me feel fuzzy inside, or should i say a kind of warmth, a kind of happiness. I can only imagine how Zuno felt there and then, but as an audience, i thought it was a magical moment. I hope we can do this for our local artists too... Like everytime i watch Kpop Music channels, how all the fans actually cheered according to the song as a responce to the singers onstage, i thought that's just AWESOME! I think this encourages the artists too! ^.^

I don't know how this fan was selected, but i think she's one lucky girl! Her name is Dawn and she was given a chance to go onstage to express her love for Zuno. And as a return Zuno dedicated his song for her and also his fans. What's best was, she get to stay onstage with him as he sings the song, and Zuno even presented a rose for her. Isn't that sweet? :}

Zuno really is a very humble and thoughtful guy. He actually did a video letter for his fans expressing how thankful he was to have made it so far and how he appreciates his fans. I didn't manage to catch the video letter though, because i was too engrossed reading it. Sorry! :{ But no worries, here's one more video for you guys... the encore song by him "Nothing to Lose" korean version!!!

I really like this version more, because i feel that the lyric adds more punch to that song. It's ringing in my mind more then his chinese lyrics and for your info, i DO NOT understand korean. hahaha....

Hope you'll enjoy the last video that i've got! :D That's all for the updates!

Stay tune for some picture updates of the airport when Zuno leaves Singapore!!! :}

Inkigayo Recap!

2010-05-03T06:47:00.003+08:00

Really like watching Inkigayo's stage setup. I think it's planned carefully by the set designer. The set really set the mood for each song. But i feel that the audio is a bit hard to listen to. Everyone seem a little soft in some parts, and you can really tell the difference when the artist is doing lipsync to certain parts of the songs. :(
But i would say that over all it's still good. So here's some of the recaps!

Last Week's Winner!

After School "Bang!"

SNSD "Oh!" (I think the girls look so cute today... Esp Sunny!)

SNSD "Run Devil Run" (And they look especially HOT here!)

Rain "Love Song" (I want Hip Song TOO!!!)

2AM "I Did Wrong" (Be sure to catch the special performance here... :P lol)

F.Cuz "No One"

SNSD "Green Sports Song"

U-Kiss "What" (Finally i see Kibum's airtime! lol... And i really love it when they are in their red theme. Really like Kevin and Dongho's jacket!)

B2ST "SHOCK!"

Lee Hyori "I'm Back"

Lee Hyori "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" (Really like her style today.)

2PM "Don't Stop Can't Stop" (This set design is very cool! Like the concept! And i think it's the boys best performance so far)

2PM "Without U"

And the winner this week is...

Lee Hyori!

Daesung & Seungri "Like Big Bang" MV

2010-05-03T06:37:00.002+08:00

The latest episode of the HaHa Mong show featured a hilarious MV by Big Bang’s Daesung & Seungri. The MV is for a track titled Like Big Bang and featured a whole slew of guest appearances from the various girl idol groups.

I haven't got down to watch Haha Mong show yet, because i'm still waiting for the subbed version to be up. But looking at this MV only makes me anticipates more. I like the fact that they got sooooooo many people involved in the MV, just show how supportive everyone is. Can't wait to watch the full episode soon. :D

SNSD and 2PM release Caribbean Bay teaser video

2010-05-03T06:25:00.002+08:00

Groups SNSD/Girls’ Generation and 2PM have released a teaser video for their upcoming Caribbean Bay promotions.

The video shows off Seohyun, Yoona, Yuri, Nichkhun, Taecyeon and Chansung getting ready for work as lifeguards at Everland’s Caribbean Bay Water Park. This video involves a lot of locker room changing scenes. This is some seriously hot stuff with the girls showing off their slim figures and the guys showing off their chiseled abs.

The video is 1.19mins long, and 1.04mins is spent on SNSD and 2pm changing in their locker room. Of course i don't mind the eye candies and all cause i must say they really do look HOT here. But then, i think it kinda miss the point, because isn't this video about Caribbean Bay?

Just my thoughts though...

Let Xiah Intoxicate you!

2010-05-03T06:17:00.002+08:00

Not so long ago it was announced that Junsu will be launching his solo career in Japan with "Intoxication". Without further ado, here's the MV to "Intoxication"! Do not that the video is cut off a little earlier... don't know why though but this is the best i can find. :)

The song was written by Junsu himself, and is a medium-tempo ballad. After watching the MV, i felt that Junsu have matured a lot in terms of an artist. He's no longer the cute boy but now he's a hot man that can intoxicates you. I really can't believe that i've seen him just a few days ago. I feel so blessed. :}

The album will officially be released on May 26th. And we wish Junsu all the best!

Zuno's Showcase Teaser!

2010-05-03T05:38:00.006+08:00

But just to keep u guys hype up first. Here's some photos from the showcase itself... Enjoy! :D

Do stay tune for more! :D

T.O.P's Overweight Photos!

2010-05-02T05:33:00.002+08:00

On April 30, MBC's Section TV did a ranking on stars who had successful diets. Big Bang's T.O.P came in at #11 and they showed "shocking" photos of him during his high school days when he was still overweight.

T.O.P is known for his charismatic appearance and sharp looks so a lot were surprised with his high school photos that were shown. Before T.O.P debuted as a singer, he lost about 20kg in 40 days.

Video Showing T.O.P's picture here.

Seriously, i think T.O.P still looks good when he was fat, or rather really cute. :}
But i guess you need to take care of your health too, so diet for the right reasons guys! :}

Music Core Recap!

2010-05-02T05:12:00.007+08:00

Here's some recap on Music Core! I really like the stage setup for each of the different artist's performance... and it's unusally quiet, which also mean the sound quality is actually WAY better! Enjoy!

ZE:A "All Day Long" (They are in blue theme today... :} Still looking good!)

Secret "Magic"

After School "Let's Do It + Bang!" (I really love it when the girls perform Let's Do It, it's not easy doing it, but they are sooooo good at it now.)

U-Kiss "What" (I'm liking Dongho's hair more and more!)

K.Will ft Junhyung "Present" (MY FAV!!! When i first listened to this song, i was thinking why didn't K.Will get Junhyung to rap? Well it's never too late to join forces right? :} Really like K.Will's live performances...)

B2ST "SHOCK!" (Don't really like their cut short version, because it's very rush and all... and they totally left out my favourite part. :{ "Come back back back to me!" And it's weird not having fans shouting "SHOCK" with them)

2AM "I Did Wrong" (They sound so good here... clear!)

2PM "Don't Stop Can't Stop" (I really like their introduction here!)

2PM "Without U" (COOL! They've got thunder and lightning and rain! Cool effects!)

2PM "Don't Stop Can't Stop" (I really like their Don't Stop Can't Stop Live performances...)

2PM "Without U" (I know a lot of fans don't like Nickhun's hair style here, but i personally really like it... i think he can pull off any look.)

And the winner of this week's Music Bank is.....

RAIN! :}

Gummy coming back with Loveless Album!

2010-05-01T01:59:00.003+08:00

Many fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Gummy and the music she has to offer. Wait no more because Gummy is BACK!

Dorypop has listened to all of her tracks and she has to say that this album is really good. :} Checkout the tracklist below!

Tracklist:
1. 그만 헤어져/Let’s Break Up
2. Because Of You
3. 사랑은 없다 (There is no love)
4. 남자라서 (As A Man)
5. 어떡해/What Do I Do
6. 구세요 (Feat. Bigtone)

Let's Break Up

Because of You

What Do I Do

Who Are You

And lastly Gummy's title song As a Man! The MV is also out so check it out!

Personally I really like Gummy's Title song As A Man, because of the upbeat tempo as well as the catchy tune. I'm sure it's going to be a hit. I also really like the MV too. Simple storyline but yet very sweet, i think they can consider releasing a longer version or make it into a music drama, because not only does Kim Hyun Joong and Jung Ryeo Won has lots of chemistry, i think the set that they chose to shoot at is also very pretty.

You can get Gummy's album here!

B2ST's Leader DooJoon!

2010-05-01T00:59:00.006+08:00

I have to admit! I was one of the few that started laughing when I saw Doo Joon's middle school photos. What sent me off laughing nonstop was because he reminded me of how my own brother look like when he was young. I seriously think it's adorable... :}

I really like how Allkpop put it "Doojoon is quite the sexy beast but back in the day it turns out he wasn’t a beauty or a beast. In fact, he looked like your stereotypical 'Asian nerd'."

I know some of you also agree that he really do look different now. Let me show you some example of how cool/sexy/handsome/hot/etc... NOW!

Different right? Well I guess we still love him as he is don't you agree? :D

The Kim Brothers Arrives! :}

2010-04-30T19:39:00.003+08:00

Yup! As the title says, the Kim Brothers (Junsu and Junho) has arrived in Singapore safely on the 29th night.

So Dorypop decided to head down to the airport to check out the situation and here's some photos she took at around 7pm...

Although the crowd is not as BIG as what she's expected, but still think that there's ALOT of people there that night. Given that the star of the day (which is Zuno) is still considered a newbie, and it's his 1st time in Singapore, the crowd is pretty amazing. Kudos to Quest! :}

The flight was slightly delayed but none the less, the fans still waited patiently for their arrival. Zuno brought his entourage with him this time, so i guess the showcase will be a blast!

Here's some videos taken by fans that night...

I gotta say that the brothers really look good up close. Sorry Dorypop wasn't able to get any footages herself, because it was really chaotic at the airport and she wasn't as enthu as the other fans. But well, with the fan videos above, i guess it's enough of an eye candy right? :}

Stay tune for more updates on Zuno's Showcase happening on May 1st!

Introduction News Alert!

みなさん、こんにちは! Hello Everyone! 안녕하세요 여러분! 大家好！ ^.^

It's the first entry of Dorypop and she's been wondering what kind of news she can bring to you. Well, because we are based in Singapore and looking at the date, she's decided to blog about an upcoming event. Wanna make a guess what's that? <:

That's right, it's Zuno's Showcase!
For some of you who don't know who Zuno is, here's some information on him.

Birth Name: Kim Junho
Stage Name: Zuno
Chinese Name: 金俊浩
Korean Name: 김준호

Date of Birth: 1 January 1987
Height: 187cm
Place of Birth: Gyeonggi-do, Seoul, South Korea
Star Sign: Sagittarius
Favourite Sport: Baseball

Zuno debuted in China (28 March 2010) under BIAS Entertainment. He had his first showcase held in Beijing, then Japan and now in Singapore! <:

He is also famous for being Junsu's (yes... TVXQ's Xiah Junsu's) brother.

Here's a video to one of his song, Nothing to Lose/Let me go which i really like.

Isn't it wonderful? I think that both brothers are really talented in their own ways. Don't you agree?

Ok, so Dorypop was invited to the showcase by Quest, because she had the chance to work with them on a project before (which she would be sharing more about it in the future)and she's very thankful that she got the invitation to go watch the showcase in Singapore. She collected her ticket on Tuesday and was pretty impressed with the design of the ticket.

You can call her noob or whatever you want, but in Singapore, you don't get concert tickets with funky designs, further more a ticket that comes in a form of a card. Yes, like an ezlink card CARD. Here's some pictures to share...

Nice? Well I think it's nice enough for a ticket... it's also something that you can keep as a collection. :>

Dorypop got all excited about going to the showcase after collecting her ticket. One more thing to add on to her excitement, is that, the special guest for Zuno's Showcase is none other then Zuno's own brother Junsu!!!

Sounds totally exciting right? According to Quest, Junsu will be singing one song and will be having a short interview on the day of the showcase.

This showcase is proudly presented to you by Quest Group Holdings and here's some information on the showcase itself.
