T-ara Lovey Dovey

This trailer was supposed to be released yesterday (Korean time, which means the 30th) but instead it was released today.
To me a one day wait isnt all that long. Try waiting for YG artists to make a comeback that has no set date and the trailers have been out for a month or so. <.< The life of a K-pop fan is never done. It is like a full time job within itself, but I am proud to have the job.

What's Up Drama

Here is another clip of the new drama that features Big Bang's Daesung. This trailer has more clips of Daesung then the other trailer.

IT'S HERE.......TROUBLEMAKER

Well it's almost 3pm in Korea and as I said, I am posting the troublemaker MV today. Soooo happy that it came out on time and that I was awake when it was posted. So enjoy the korean Mr. and Mrs. Smith video.

Suggested Article

I want you guys to read this article that I found on Asian Junkie, I seriously couldnt have said it better myself, it takes a lot more for music to dominate a country and this isnt domination.

Paid ads & two dudes are enough for Korean media to claim domination in Japan <-----Click there. :)

HARU HARU ~ Big Bang :)

The video for Big Bang's Japanese version of Haru Haru has been released.
Their album, The Best of Big Bang, will be released on December 14th. You already know that I'm going to get a copy. I gotta support my boys.

Well without further delay, here is Big Bang's AMAZING new video.

Park Ki Young

Park Ki Young has released a Christmas album this year and a new MV.

Here is the music video for The Christmas Time.
Enjoy.

Happy Pledis

Seems like all the k-pop entertainment companies are releasing a christmas single to show the love of the family. Well Pledis entertainment is no different.I'm not saying that the videos that the companies are doing are something bad or I dont like it, I actually think that it's a good idea because we all know that the artists in the companies are really close and we don't get videos like this all year.

F.Cuz new MV

The release of their 2nd Japanese single "Around You/ 「LUV HOLIC」", is to be released on December 21st.

It is said the in the future the group will be adding a 4th member.


「LUV HOLIC」MV


Around You MV (released last week)

New Group, New MV

New FNC music group M Signal released a new MV called "Threads of your Clothes."
Despite me having never heard of them before this day in my life, I have to say that this was a really good MV and I look forward to their future works, hopefully there will be more ballads.



The guy that doesn't wear glasses looks kinda cute, just saying.

Oh Sohee, you crack me up

So I browsing the internet and somehow ended up on allkpop and saw that they had a video of one of the Wonder Girls' performances in the States and in the video Sohee is completely oblivious that Ye Eun had even fell, but if you look closely enough because of the dance Sohee had turned the opposite direction when Ye Eun fell, and so she just kept dancing. She probably didnt know that Ye Eun had even fallen until after the performance. If I were her I would have kept dancing too, at least once Ye Eun was back up and the other girls were dancing again they knew were to pick back up at thanks to Sohee.

Trouble Maker JS & HyunA

Building off the first preview that was released on Monday, the second MV teaser reveals HyunA and Hyunseung sizing each other up in an elegant Victorian style building.




Does anybody else really want to watch this music video? It reminds me of when I was waiting for SNSD's comeback with The Boys, I need it. They need to hurry up and release the video. They kind of remind me of the Korean version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. And that whistling is kind of addicting.

Soooo just read that the MV for this song will be released at 2pm.....don't know if it's gonna be today or if it's gonna be tomorrow, but I know I will watch it.

Star Emipre presents......Shooting Star

The song for Shooting Star was released yesterday but today they relased a video featuring the members of the family.
Now this has a million people in it. lol.

Super Junior preview

Super Junior recently updated their website with a 30 second preview of their new Japanese song "Snow White". Snow White will also be release with their popular song Mr. Simple and will be released on January 7th, 2012. (ehhhh such a long wait).

MAN BRA!!!

I had to share this with you guys. So I was on youtube yesterday, just watching random videos and yesterday it was MBLAQ and I found this one where Lee Joon was talking about the man version of the bra that they have to wear when they perform on private broadcasting companies. It was so funny because I never knew about that until yesterday and then to see Rain performing in one (when we all know he always has to show skin when he performs), just made it hilarious.

SNSD isn't taking a break yet

IU- You and I MV

Here is IU's new music video for her song You and I.



LOVED THIS MUSIC VIDEO!!!!
She went to the future, awwwww.

MNET Asian Music Awards 2011

Today, early in the morning for me the MNET awards was being aired, but sadly for me I had to leave for class a 7am so I could watch the live stream, I was so upset. But here is a list of the winners and the performances from the award show.

***THE WINNERS***

Daesang Award (Grand Prize)

Song of the Year

2NE1, “I Am The Best”

IU's new album

So IU's new album just came out today, and I just got it and I have to say that it is actually very good. I am always jealous of her because her and I are the same age (Though she's a month older than me because her birthday is in March while mine is in April) and she has my ideal job. I have always wanted to become a singer (but I dont see that happening since when I do sing i'll get to a certain note or loudness and everything just sounds horrible and if the chance I do become famous I would rather do it in the Korean industry because they train harder to become great and in the US people just get discovered and get a record deal and everything, I would rather debut when I'm at my best vocally and dance wise.)

Well enough of my rambling, I hope IU success with this album but according to some articles that I read an hour ago she has already achieved an "all-kill" with this album, I can't wait for her comeback stage. I believe that it should be on December 2nd.

K-Pop Fanclubs

Daesung's getting back to it

Our precious Daesung is slowly making his way back to how things were before his accident. It has been announced (a few weeks ago) that he would be starring in a new drama called,"What's Up", that will be airing on MBN. I am soooo happy for him. The press conference will be held on December 6th. If allkpop brings anything up thats negative about this, heads will be cut off with a poorly constructed weapon. The show itself is set to be aired later in December or early 2012.

The teaser for Trouble Maker is released

Here is the teaser for 4minutes HyunA and B2ST Jang Hyunseung new single Trouble Maker.




Don't know what to make of it quite yet because I didn't get much in the 15 seconds of preview we get but I'm hoping that it is going to be very good.

Quote of the Night

This interview and article were done in July.

TVXQ has been featured in AnAn Magazine No.1765. They not only participated in the photoshoot but also conducted an interview with the magazine.

Inkigayo 11.27.11

Here is today's (yesterday in Korea) Inkigayo performances.
It's said that SNSD has concluded their promotions for The Boys. But at least someone else besides them won, but I kinda wished that A Pink would have won instead of the Wonder Girls. :( But I still love the Wonder Girls and am happy that they won.

TRAX-Blind

Big Bang- Soul by Ludacris

Because I am a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of Big Bang I decided to post their new CF that is for Ludacris's new headphones.



***Translation***
G-Dragon: "It's really clean..."
T.O.P: "Since the bass is a lot richer...".
Seungri: "To the point where you think, 'Can headphones (of this quality) even come out?"
Taeyang: "'Soul by Ludacris' is the real thing."

Onew, Key, Taemin of SHINee in Barcelona

Here is Key's teaser for the book, "Sons of the Sun".



I am really happy for this book to come out, and am praying to release a English version of this book so that I can get a copy.

Starship Planet New MV

Starship Planet is a joint group that consists of SISTAR, Boyfriend, and K.Will.
The song expresses the love they have for each other and their fans. Part of the digital sales will go to charity to share the love. Click here to get the single.



I really like this mash-up and I woulndt be opposed to future projects with this group. :)

F1SRT New MV

On November 25th, the group F1RST released their new single, "Ma Ma My".



I think that we need more mixed groups in the kpop industry, there arent really that much compared to all the girl and boy groups that we get a year.

Onew, Key, Taemin of SHINee in Barcelona

Here is Taemin's teaser for the book.



If you watch this video on youtube in the description there should be information on where to pre-order/buy. You should be able to pre-oreder the book by now, since they told us on the 21st pre-order would be available.

32nd Blue Dragon Film Awards

The 32nd Blue Dragon Film Awards took place November 25, 2001 in Yeouido, Seoul, South Korea at KBS Hall. The event was hosted by Lee Beom-Soo & Kim Hye-Soo.

Music Bank 11.25.11

A few days late, but here are the Music Bank performances for November 25.
I think that I have missed a couple of the performances but they can be found on youtube at SoshiSoshiShow


SNSD

Thanksgiving

Sooo I have a few things that I need to post, but since its a holiday (in America) I will wait until Monday before I post anything and because I'm home and spending time with my wonderful family. So expect updates on Monday in the afternoon time.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and since it is Black Friday, instead of going shopping we put up our Christmas things.

A Pink: My My

A Pink released their new song today, and it is said to be a flashback video (90's) It will have the same kind of vibe that the videos by S.E.S. and Fin.K.L. had back then.



I really liked the beginning, it made me smile because music back in the 90's did have this kind of vibe too it. :))
This video was made 10000000 times better. Why?
They wore converses and high tops at that, that was always my shoe of choice.
And the jerseys were too cute, I loved it. I never really listened to A Pink before today, well I mean I probably heard one of their songs in passing but I really feel in love with this video and this song. I cannot wait until they make their stage comeback, hopefully they wear the jerseys and high tops, if they do, I will love them even more.

Onew, Key, Taemin of SHINee in Barcelona

Its been said a few weeks ago (or was it last week??) that Onew, Key and Taemin would be releasing the first ever vacation book to be release by Korean idols.
The book will be called "The Son of the Sun", and it will include pictures and stories as told by our boys. The book wont be avaliable until December 8th, but they just released Onew's teaser for it.



I'm kinda hoping that SM will release of versions of the book, so that the fans that dont speak/read Korean can enjoy it also.

New.F.O. finally releases their new video

After going through all the hype for the group that began on allkpop. The group finally released their video for their debut song "Bounce". The video was produced by BoA's brother, Kwon Soon Wook, he produced the video for Game, which I enjoyed. :)
The girls will make their stage debut on November 25th on Music Bank, so look forward to that.
After the video I will include a few thoughts about it.



For me the video wasn't really as original as a debut video would usually be for most groups, It's been done before. A lot of people mentioned that the beginning reminded them of 4minute's "Mirror Mirror", I would have to sorta agree.
When groups debut, for me I prefer ballads, because to me vocals are very important for a idol to actually make it. The song is kind of catchy and it shows off their dancing.
It wasnt the best video, but I just hope they sound good live.
As an overall feeling I was generally dissappointed in the video. The teasers made it look pretty good, but their voices didnt quite go with it. It sounds like they should be singing the cutesy kpop songs instead of what they came out with. Hopefully their next song will be loads more better then this one.
Well that's my opinion, If you have one just comment and let me know what you think.

Big Bang Haru Haru (Japanese Version)

Dont know about you but I sure am excited about this, even though it isnt a brand new song.
Here is the preview of Big Bang's Japanese single for "Haru Haru".






They will be release a new album called the Best of Big Bang that includes their top 14 hits, and it will be released on December 14th.

BoA-unnie is Back

I am an avid BoA fan, seeing as I would have never discoverd kpop music if it hadnt been for her. So out of all my kpop idols she is my number 1 and will always remain that way.
Her long-awaited song Milestone has finally been released. ^^



I am so happy that she is back with a new Jpop song, I tend to prefer her Japanese music more, because she usually releases ballads there. But I love any song that showcases her vocal range and shows that she is an amazing dancer.

New F.O

The teaser for the new single Bounce by New F.O has been relased finally.



With all the New F.O hype thats going around I kinda wish that they would just hurry up and release their stuff, because the longer we wait, the more we think that they arent going to make it very far. And was I the only one that got a sort of 2NE1 vibe from the video. But at least we know that they can dance.

SNSD unreleased track Boomerang

This song was leaked, I believe last week or so. They say that this will be on the next album. I think it should because I really like it.

Rania new MV for Pop Pop Pop

New.F.O.

Well another video has surfaced for the new group New.F.O and this one is a impromtu (even though I think that it was staged) dance performance in Hollywood.




The teaser for the music video will be released on November 22nd.

Inkigayo 11.20.11

I know I said that I wasnt going to post anything today but I discovered todays (technically yesterday) Inkigayo performances. So I decided to post the videos today, because if I save it for tomorrow I wont do it.

Well here they are:


SNSD- The Boys

Quote for the night

So I have decided to do all the quotes that I found on a website, but I'm only doing the ones that I like, which means the ones that make me go awww or makes me laugh.

I dont know about you but if he decided that he wanted to have a little bad boy streak I would have no qualms about it. I think it woul make him hotter, but he is pretty hot as he is right now.


*****BONUS VIDEO*****
Debated about putting Yunho time but then I thought it was semi-irrelevant

[HMFsubs] 111015 Meringue no Kimochi from hominfatalesubs on Vimeo.

Its not weird that I was very excited that they talked about ramen and was very upset that they got to try the Devilishly Hot Ramen and I got none. I need to move to S.Korea seeing as there food looks really good to me and I will be traveling to Japan for Ramen. If anyone knows a really good ramen, Korean or Japanese eatery around the St. Louis area please let me know because i would be glad to go and give them more business every weekend. Well I'm off to eat the American version of ramen, it's so sad that our ramen isn't as good as the ones in Asia and to me the store bought asian noodles aren't all that good. Maybe I should as the asian community back home, I think they would know where to get some amazing food, maybe they'll make me something. **FILLED**WITH**HOPE** Hello aunt and uncles, is it dinner time?~ :D (annyeonghaseyo sugmowa samchon, geugeos-eun jeonyeog sigsa sigan-inga?)
To see pictures and read a few things about Homin, dont be afraid to visit Asian Manifesto on live journal and wander around.


annyonghi jumushipsiyo (GOOD NIGHT)
I will be back on Monday, hopefully with some amazing things (well all my things are amazing but you get the idea). Have a good Sunday, (joh-eun il-yoil doeseyo)

Wonder Girls Be my Baby Dance Cover Contest

For their new single, Be My Baby the Wonder Girls are having a dance cover contest. I would sooo enter this but, I dont have the time and I cant find my camera, ANYWHERE.

Here is the video announcing the contest, which can be found on the Wonder Girl's youtube channel


2PM, Jo Kwon and the Wonder Girls
I completely love this <3

Noel and the Wonder Girls


GAHHH I love this.
When they are telling you guys to dance like this, they are telling you that although its a contest you should still have fun.
Whenever I find enough people, I would totally flash mob to this song.
Especially to a group of random guys. LOL

To join the contest go to their facebook page.

If I see any covers that I like I will post them for you guys, because just these two videos made me laugh so hard.

Zico and Jaehyo digging for Golden Nuggets

Block B's Zico telling why his nose was looking swollen that day.

Younha: Zico, it looks like your nose has gotten bigger.
Zico: I was actually picking my nose yesterday and I guess it got swollen from that. For some reason, my nose swells whenever I pick it.
Younha: Not because you were treating your blackheads?
Zico: Nah, boogers. Staying in the studio for a long time, things get stuck up in there. Normally I'll pick my nose with Jaehyo hyung before we move to our next schedule.
Jaehyo: Why are you bringing me into this!
Zico: Are you denying this?
Jaehyo: ...No.


I laughed so hard when I read this. In my mind I was imagining them standing outside of the studio just going to town picking their noses. LOL.

F.Cuz

Here is the teaser for F.Cuz's 2nd Japanese single for Around You.
My question is, Are they going to promote this with their new 4th member?



Honestly, this is the first time I have ever heard of this group and I have to say that this seems like its going to be very good. Man I'm seriously excited for this music video to be released.

New.F.O aka New Five Order

I know that yesterday, I posted about the new girl group New.F.O but today they released a new teaser for their new music video. So here it is you guys enjoy.

Music Core 11.19.11

Today's (yesterday in Korea) Music Core performances.

SNSD- The Boys


Wonder Girls- Be My Baby

Rain's address

As I promised, I have found Rain's address for the next 3 weeks.

경기도 연천군 연천읍 상1리 사서함
106-16호 8210부대 2대대 제2신병교육대대
5중대 2소대 34번 교육생 정지훈

Jung Ji Hoon GyoYookSeng
Post code : 486 - 859
South Korea



****NOTICE****
Still as of now he can only reveive letters

A sort of schedule

I think that I'm gonna be doing at least 2 post a day, and on the days when there are stages then it will be easier to know what to post but at least I'm gonna start developing some type of schedule, but I will not be posting on Sundays unless there is something really really really important happening, like breaking news type things.

Here's a quote before I go:

New.F.O

All the time girl groups are coming out. Well this is a girl group that was created by 6Theory and EnterArts Global. This is their very first girl group. I really hope that they do well with this group so that they will make more.

Music Bank 11.18.11

Here is todays (yesterday in Korea) Music Bank performances. Since I didnt post the M! Countdown videos like I was supposed to yesterday, I'm gonna tell you the winner. Despite Girl's Generation winning all the past stages, the Wonder Girls took home the trophy (well not really because when they got it, it fell on the ground and broke so they lost the trohpy).
Well here it is folks the performances.

Rain gets promoted

It's been 5 weeks since Rain went off to do his mandatory 2 years in the military. We have been getting news that he is doing what he does best, excel in everything. A few days ago, he got promoted to division manager. For the next three weeks he will be going through intensive training and then he will serve as an assistant at his recruit training center after the training.
And as you can see, he has lost quite a bit of weight, and hopefully he will gain it back.
When I find his current address and the address at the recruiting center I will post it. As far as I know right, now he cant receive anything but letters and as I said when I get his address I will post it for you guys.

Updating is a little off?

So I figured why I dont post as often as I should.
Its because I think that I have to have super long posts, but now I realize that I dont really have to do that.
So yes you guys I will be posting a few couple of things this weekend. I was gonna post M! Countdown performances today, but I couldnt find all the videos so I'm really sorry.
I should probably translate these into korean via Google, wouldnt that be cool you guys.^^~

그래서 내가 자주 제가 정상적으로 게시 없다 왜 생각.
그 제가 슈퍼 긴 게시물을 가지고 있다고 생각하지만, 지금은 정말 그렇게하실 필요 없어요 대전 것을 깨닫게 때문이다.
그래서 네, 너희들은 내가 일을 몇 몇 이번 주말에 게시됩니다. 나는 게시물려고 손에 정말 미안해 그래서 카운트 다운 공연 오늘,하지만 난 모든 동영상을 찾을 수 없습니다.
아마도 구글을 통해 한국어로 이것을 번역해야합니다, 당신들 멋질 것 같지 않아. ^^~

Before you leave here is a quote:

Song Tuesday

I never really liked Big Bang's music too much until around May, it was a weird way for me to fall in love with them. It started with me thinking that T.O.P and Taeyang were kind of cute, and then I heard Boni do a cover of Taeyang's song "Wedding Dress", so I had to listen/watch the music video and I officially loved him, but it wasnt until I started exploring my curiousity for T.O.P that I fell in over my head. T.O.P is so amazing and sexy and funny and cool and sexy and OMG HIS VOICE (he seduces me everytime he raps) and God dont forget sexy. I never did really like Korean Rap, but with many groups you had to get used to it because every group seemed to have a rapper of some sort, so I was very wary to listen to T.O.P and GD rap. But after that I fell completely in love with T.O.P and there was no stopping me. He may not be the best dancer but I still love him in all his awkward dancing, but he can kinda dance.

K-Pop Masters Event November 25-26

This month in Las Vegas there is going to be a K-pop event known as K-Pop Masters. Sadly, I wont be able to go, due to the fact I dont live in Nevada, and the fact that I have classes that day and either way I wont be able to make it, but if you go to AKPF (American K-Pop Fans) website and facebook then you will be able to get live coverage, At the end of each day I will try to get everything into one post, so on those days I will be working on one post, it will include times, videos and of course pictures that will be provided through youtube, facebook, and other various places, so please on those days be patient and I really wish that I could go so I can give you guys live coverage and possible interviews, maybe another year I will be able to do that.

Inkigayo 11.13.11

Here it is folks, today's (well yesterday in Korea) Inkigayo performances.

Jaynoonayepo presents Han Geng Fan

HIS MESSAGE TO US: “AKPF – continue to show me love and add C-pop to your name.”

JAY IS THE NEW NYC CORRESPONDENT FOR AKPF.

On Friday, November 11, 2011, I sat down with Han Geng for an interview, during the New York Chinese Film Festival, at the viewing of his first movie My Kingdom (AMC Loews in the East Village) and the Awards Ceremony at Capitale NYC. Han Geng was in New York to promote his new movie My Kingdom and to receive “The Most Popular Asian Artist Award” from the NYCFF. The NYCFF was well-attended by many influential people in business and entertainment (most based in China), and many GengFans attended the viewing and stood outside in the cold at the Awards Ceremony, just to get a glimpse of Han Geng.

This Month in Birthdays

No matter what month it is, there is bound to be a k-pop idol who has a birthday in the month we are in. Here is the list of K-pop idols who have celebrated their birthdays.

Music Core 11.12.11

Since I didn't post anything yesterday, I'll give you guys a present of today's (well yesterday in Korea) Music Core performances. If you guys like the idea of me doing this then message me and I will try to get the Music Core, Inkigayo, M! Countdown, Music Bank and whatever other stages/performances there is. I hope you guys enjoy this very much. ^^

Fever's End Part 1 &2

After a long two year haitus, rapper from popular group Epik High is back with a new album (well two, but I consider it as one album.) Out of the few albums that I bought within this month, Tablo's is the one I love the most (my new kpop bias?), there wasn't a single song on the albums that I didnt like. I especially love the song "Dear TV", which is found on the Part 2 of the album.

The thing about Allkpop

For all of you k-pop fans in the world, I am sure that you have heard of the popular website, allkpop. For those of you who havent been to allkpop and dont what the website is all about, dont go to it. Lately it has become evident that they are doing whatever they can to come up with stories. Now, allkpop wasnt always like this, they used to have really great stories that had me checking the stories every hour that I could, but as the months rolled by the stories got more pointless and then it happened. They began to start off the wall rumors about some of the idols. One that I remember actually happened pretty recently, it was G-Dragon's marijuana thing. It happened earlier this year but then all of a sudden when everyone was quieting down about it they bring up the story.

Moving in Secret

Despite having their Korean debut at the same time popular girl group Girls Generation also known as SNSD, the singing group seems to have a solid fanbase that seems to believe that they have the better song then Girls Generation. Although they have not won on Music Bank or Inkigayo, yet, fans still believe that it is a possibility. Comparing the 2 albums on if they have decent songs on their album besides the song that they choose to promote, it is clear that Secret has won in that competition. Most of their album is actually pretty good and it would seem that some of them could even be hits. With Girls Generation's album, The Boys, you get a couple of songs that are decent but the best song that they have is actually the song that they chose to promote which would be The Boys.

Time Just Escapes

It seems that I havent been on my blog in a long while.
This year has been a really weird year for me, I guess you can say.
I graduated High School.
