So last week[when Joo hee originally released a video of her dancing] and there were comments like ‘they should do dance music’ and I’m sitting here like – pardon my French – he-fucking-llo! They released validation period and I felt like I was in a small group of fans who actually liked that song. Anyways on to the review of this awesome mini album!

Artist Analysis: Secret
I wasn’t like a superfan or anything until Secret released Magic; that was the dealbreaker. Magic was just what they  needed, it was catchy and fun. Also on that mini album they had some really great songs that showed that they can have a fun song and sing. Continue reading Artist Analysis: Secret
Teen Top ROMAN
Well I was obsessed with Supa Luv for like a few months and I was excited to see what their new sound would be for their comeback. Although one of the teaser pictures was quite shocking, I’m glad they aren’t running around in boxers and heels. Continue reading Teen Top ROMAN
Video Analysis: Super Junior ‘Mr. Simple’
Ahh Super Junior,I have a soft spot for this group. When those teaser photo’s were released, I was on the fence about what exactly they were trying to do with this song. Then the song was released and I thought the song was all over the place; a lot of repetion, but I found myself dancing to it after a few listens.

Artist analysis: Brown Eyed Girls
Brown eyed girls are one of my favorite girl groups; they are the ones who really started me in more of an r&b sound in Korean music when all I knew about were SNSD and SHINee; the idols. I stumbled across the group when they were promoting ‘You’ from their mini album My Style.
Obviously these girls are extremely talented,so I decided to disect each members voice using a cupcake analogy. Enjoy! Continue reading Artist analysis: Brown Eyed Girls
Beast Fiction and Fact

Actually I didn’t even know Beast was making a comeback until I saw a link on Tumblr. I only listened to Fiction, but my cousin recommended that I listen to it because it’s apparently really good.
I only really listened to the really popular songs like Lights Go On Again, Breathe and Bad Girl because they just weren’t that interesting to me, but after watching the video for Fiction, B2ST became more appealing to me. Continue reading Beast Fiction and Fact

SNSD 1st Japan Album
It’s no secret that SNSD made a cross over to the Japanese market, starting with remakes of their popular Korean hits ‘Gee’ and’Genie’. Their first album sounds pretty good. Continue reading SNSD 1st Japan Album
Eye to Eye Eye To Eye
New Korean trio, Eye to Eye stepped onto the scene with help from their seniors Brown Eyed Soul. Their style is very Big Mama/ female counterpart of Brown Eyed Soul; just what you’d expect from them. Continue reading Eye to Eye Eye To Eye
2PM Hands Up 2nd Album
  I think majority of 2PM fans can agree with me that they were happy when the group released Hands Up, which was a huge contrast from the slew of depressing/heartbreak songs they had been releasing ever since Jay Park left. Continue reading 2PM Hands Up 2nd Album
