This blog is about anything and everything. I will be working on doing a lot of reviews in the future and also this blog gives me a very nice outlet for my love for kpop so that will be in there very often. Always open to ideas on improving the blog.
I'm telling you the moment they announced that this song was going to be coming out I knew I would love it immediately. I mean come one you have Se7en and JYP, that right there is one of the ultimate combinations of K-Pop. Well enjoy the video. I will post my thoughts/feelings about it after the video.
My thoughts:
1. Awww cool he was singing Somebody Else
2. G-DRAGON...awww the relationship between labelmates
3. Strip and walk haha
4. I want to be that make-up girl
5. And he is back up
6. Did he seriously just put on make up to walk outside
7. SE7EN FANS!!!!
8. This video is making me sad, he seems lonely
9. I knew this dance scene was coming eventually, it isn't a Se7en video without some dancing
10. Ok, I got confused for a second and then I realized that it's summer, fall and then winter
11. I got scared that the video ended but then I saw that it is a dance break
12. Wow that room is really empty
Here is the English Translations:
Even if I lose everything, if my popularity drops
Even if I can't sing, if I get a different job
Will you still be able to love me for who I am?
Do you know that who I am on screen isn't really my everything? (Do you know?)
Do you know that my overflowing confidence makes me even more anxious? (Do you know?)
Standing under the flashing lights, there is a thick shadow behind me
Even if I lose everything, if my popularity drops
Even if I can't sing, if I get a different job
Will you still be able to love me for who I am?
You say that you love me but
Am I really who you love? (Am I?)
You say that you fell for me but
Am I really the one who made you fall for me? (Am I?)
When you are in my arms, looking at me
I want to ask you these questions
Even if I lose everything, if my popularity drops
Even if I can't sing, if I get a different job
Will you still be able to love me for who I am?
Someday, the day will come (the day will come)
I'll come down from the stage where the cheers have decreased
As my shoulders droop down (shoulders droop down)
My head hung low (even then)
Will you stand by my side?
Even if I lose everything, if my popularity drops
Even if I can't sing, if I get a different job
Will you still be able to love me for who I am?
I want to ask you
Now that I know what the lyrics actually mean, It made me cry because even if he got a different job or he was as popular anymore I would stil love him.
I WILL ALWAYS BE BY YOUR SIDE DONG WOOK OPPA!!!!
Rookie group Twi-light are gearing up for their comeback with “Twilight“! Though the boys made their debut last summer, they’ve reconstructed their group line-up and took some time to round out their talents for their comeback. Twi-light will unleash their new single on February 3rd. Whenever I hear of this group I instantly think of the popular book series by Stephanie Meyer. So in my mind I'm thinking of forbbiden love, and I should probably stop thinking that way or else I will be dissappointed.
They look like jailbait for noonas, like seriously how old are these boys? With that out of the way, the music sounds pretty good, can't wait for the actual lyrics to be put in there and we get a full MV.
As I said before, I have never listened to F.T Island as a full band before. I have listened to Lee Hongki because he is so cute and he kind of reminds me of Mir from MBLAQ and I love me some Mir. But seriously I love this MV, and I will be getting the album as soon as possible.
In the MV, Lee Hongki plays the leading role as a lover who’s been given the precious gift of time. We’re introduced to Lee Hongki’s character at a funeral parlour, where he grieves over his girlfriend. He rushes out, only to bump into a girl who looks exactly like her.
This has been the song that has been stuck in my head all night. So I decided to end the night with this video. Hope you guys have a good night and to some a great start to your day. I am going to sleep because I have class tomorrow morning. GOOD NIGHT. (^.^)
Girls’ Generation have departed for New York at 10am KST on January 30th to attend America’s popular talk shows CBS’ ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ on January 31st and the time is sayin 11:35/10:35 CST and ABC’s ‘Live! with Kelly’at 10/9 CST on February 1st. On these shows, the girls will also be performing ‘The Boys’.
A representative of SM Entertainment said, “Girls’ Generation have been busy with their individual schedules but they practiced in between their schedules to deliver perfect performances in US. After the broadcast, they will have media interview sessions and it seems that they will only be back in Korea after February 2nd”.
Although Girls’ Generation barely have any promotional activities in United States so far, the fact that the girls received such ‘love call’ soon after the release of the special album has attracted huge attention.
In addition to that, as Girls’ Generation will also be the first Korean artists to step on the stages of America’s main talk shows, fans in Korea and other parts of the world have shown great interest and anticipation towards their appearances on these popular shows.
**MY THOUGHTS**
Who else would think it cool if EXO debuted on February 29th? TO me that would be epic. As a way to keep track of SM Entertainment‘s forthcoming boy band, EXO-K and EXO-M.I have decided to make one big post that includes all the teaser, because I am pretty sure that most of us have tuned out the total number of teasers.
I’m not completely annoyed by the fact that SM is shoving Kai down our throats at every chance that they get, particularly because they’ve made it pretty obvious that they have multiple member-teasers in their queue. So as many teasers we see released of Kai, SM will probably release at least a couple more for the rest of the members too. I don’t think SM’s full intentions are to force Kai down our throats as it is to introduce each member in full segments. Obviously, SM’s organization skills are pretty poor seeing as they’re leaving huge gaps between the first teasers of the non-Kai members, but I have no doubt that SM has staggered a whole bunch for the other members. What I’m really excited for though is to hear EXO’s songs in full. SM has clearly dropped pretty pennies for EXO and all of it seems to have gone into the production value of the visuals and, importantly, the music.
Today, SM released EXO "What is Love" which is the prologue to their full length album. This video also introduces two additional members, D.O and Baek Hyun.
Since both Korean and Chinese versions of the prologue single ‘What Is Love’ will be released through various music websites in Korea and China as well as iTunes, it is expected to receive an enthusiastic response from global music fans.
Meanwhile, EXO-K and EXO-M have unveiled 9 members, KAI, LU HAN, TAO, CHEN, SE HUN, LAY, XIU MIN, BAEK HYUN and D.O. so far and since mush information about EXO-K and EXO-M has not been revealed yet, the curiosity is growing regarding the new groups.
Korean Version: Mandarin Chinese Version:
So I know that I have been getting a little short about EXO, it's just because they are dragging out this debut for miles. But in all honestly I love this song both the Korean and Mandarin version.
I will be working on a Mega EXO post that I will be working on until they officially debut, it will include all the teasers so that you can watch it in one place. So look for that.
As you guys can see I have done some maintenence on the blog today. New Things added: -New background/layout -Introducing the Forum
-The forum is for you guys to talk to each other and to ask me questions if you have them. Sad thing is I only understand English, even if your English isn't the best as long as I have a general idea of what you are trying to say I will try my best to reply back to you. -My Favorite Links
-This page has all my favorite links. They include places that I get my news and also read, you can see it also includes links to places where I watch my asian dramas as well as links to where I buy my k-pop things.
I hope that you guys will enjoy this, because I did work hard on this for you.
And also, some of you may have noticed that in the last blog layout that I had, the videos seemed to be cut off on the right side, in this layout that is now fixed seeing as I can adjust the width of the columns on this blog.
As I said before I hope that you guys enjoy this and when you go to My favorite Links, don't be afraid to add me on Facebook or follow me on twitter. (^.^)
I have seriosuly been waiting on this episode since last Sunday night, I never knew when the show comes on, so I couldn't time the subs coming out. For asian dramas subs come out the day after the episode premeires, but with this show the subs come out 2 days after the show comes on. But the episode is being uploaded by the TheNomNomApple (The username is linked to the youtube account). I will be posting the videos on this blog.
Part 1:
Part 2:
Part 3:
Part 4:
I cannot wait until the new episode next week, I might actually buy all the Hello Baby seasons on DVD. I think that When SNSD did it they should have had like 4 kids there are 9 of them and they only took care of one kid. But anyway hope you guys enjoyed episode 2. As I said above I will be posting the episodes on my blog for you guys to enjoy but I will only post the videos with English subs.
The MV takes a unique approach to the ‘countdown clock’ concept by incorporating the theme not only in the audio sounds, but also in many of the visual aesthetics. In particular, timepiece gears are used to design their beating hearts, their instruments, the wings that periodically appear on the members’ backs as well as other elements. The MV manages to combine softer fantasy elements with the intense charisma of the group making for an inventive music video.
They say they want to be the smartphone of the music industry, I think they did that just by the name alone but they seem more like a tv.....get it LED is a type of tv and they go by LEDApple which means they are a LED TV made by Apple. To me they will forever be a tv.
2. B.A.P made their Music Core debut with “Burn it Up” and “Warrior” and they totally KILLED IT. I am just so impressed by this new group and can’t wait to see what they come up with next. This is the strongest debut I’ve seen since becoming a K-Pop fan and it’s been really amazing to see the overwhelming positive response from fans all over the world. If they can keep it up, they’ll be huge, nay, legendary. I’m callin it.
3. Dal Shabet makes their return with “Hit U” and I’m really digging this more mature concept from them. I’ll take this over saccharin sweet any day!
4. I love me some Brian Joo. His voice is silky smooth and it’s nice to see an old veteran up on stage with all these young’ins. It doesn’t hurt that I’m really enjoying his latest EP, Reborn Part 1.
So I noticed a couple of teaser photos for the Big Bang comeback , BUT NO VIDEO. So I decided that I will put it all in one post, so check on this regulary until the MV comes out because I will be putting all the teaser photos and videos on this one post and when I put the MV post up I will refer back to this post for those of you who have missed it.
Here is yet another EXO teaser of a new member (Lay in this case) featuring the face of EXO Kai. It is said that they will be releasing a song (or teaser) for their song on the 30th (fingers crossed).
And this song in this teaser features SHINee's very own Key. ^^
Compared to all the other teasers, I have to say that this one is my favorite.
The only way I know of this guys is that he sang a song with Tablo for his latest album, which if that song was anything to go by, this guy must be freaking awesome.
Honestly, there are so many guesses that I can have just by watching this video, this man is truly amazing. But I guess we won't find out what it is until February 1st.
Well they brought Kai back into the picture. There is rumors and speculation going around that the 210 on Kai's jacket means that they are debuting February 10, but I don't know because a lot of people said that they were debuting January 23 and that didn't happen, so we will see. SM said there will be more teasers coming soon.
It has been a very slow couple of days in Kpop news.
I guess it's because some stars are on vacation, I think that TVXQ is still on break, they annouced it last year that they would be taking a break. It could also be because some are ready with preparing for comebacks (LIKE BIG BANG IS NEXT MONTH!!!!) Or no one is really releasing anything right now.
Well I just wanted to put this post up to say that I am not being lazy there just isn't anything to really post about, because I don't like to post anything that isn't proved, meaning rumors and speculations. I don't really do posts about twitter or anything unless I think that it is important so that really cuts down what I post until I find someone at my school who shares my love for Kpop, then I might be able to expand to things like that, if they would be willing to help.
I realize that Boni isn't all that well known even though she has a really amazing voice and everything. Here are two of her songs, "Go Around" and "It Hurts". She needs to be promoted more than she is. But quick question that someone may know: Is she signed in Korea? Because I just need to know because if she is then that company sucks because she isn't as well known as some of the other stars.
I always seem to miss these. After a certain time at night I will never answer the call which is midnight unless I happen to be up and I catch the call, but man this time difference sucks for me because I always miss the calls, though some I don't pick up on purpose but that doesn't really matter.
Well this call was last night from Donghyun, Jeongmin and Kwangmin.
I would have to say that out of all the stars that actually have Starcall, Boyfriend uses it the most.

If you would really like to see it with English subs then I will be updating this post, so you will have to check on it every other hour or however often you want to check. I am subscribed to that user on youtube and I have is so that everytime they upload a video I will be getting an email about it.
Found on the SM Website:
SM Entertainment released a preview of the upcoming movie ‘Koala Kid’ on their official YouTube channel. Girls Generation member Sunny and SHINee’s youngest Taemin are doing voice over for the film.
The film follows Johnny (Taemin) a while Koala who embarks on an adventure to save Australia’s natural resources. Sunny will voice another koala named Miranda. Other voice actors include Yoon Da Hoon and Jung Eun Byul.
Compared to all the other teasers besides that this one does not include Kai it looks more like an actual teaser as to showing their talents and just them standing looking good.
This is a quote from AKPF (American K-Pop Fans) Kim about the teaser:
Um, it's like SM realized everyone was getting pissed at the wait and the 5 billion Kai teasers that now they are putting out one of two of these teasers a day. Here's yet another one, Teaser #9 (it says, I've lost count) with members Se Hun and Lu Han. They are in the desert, it looks like, to make sure Kai doesn't somehow sneak into the shot
I have to agree with here because whenever I saw a teaser from their youtube channel you can tell that fans were upset and pissed by the comments were leaving, I know I left a few paragraphs on the videos about my dislike for them showing Kai so much, not introducing the members quickly enough (it seemed a little disorganized), the fact that no one knows when they debut but we have a general idea of when they are debuting (for all we know they could debut in 2013, but SM said that it would be this year, BUT THAT'S ALL WE KNOW!!!), and when they say teaser they truly mean teaser, because besides Kai it seems like I don't know about the other members, I mean I know they are there but if you put them in front of my face I would not know who they are and if I do recognize them I would say they were in EXO with Kai.
But I am really trying not to hate on this group too much, and like with New.F.O I am keeping an open mind and looking at their debut as a whole (the song, the video quality, their first (mini) album and the debut performance).
As we all know JYJ just opened their youtube channel and they are putting it to very good use since they opened it and I am so happy about that. (Click Here for their official youtube channel)
Well, I'm happy shocked that they didnt have to throw Kai into this teaser. But does anyone else think that EXO are like characters from Avater the last Airbender. I mean Kai is like Earth (teaser 5) and Se Hun seems to be the water bender, well I could care less but that was my show whenever it was on. Does anyone know if they are going to do another Avater movie because they didn't finish they have to get to the part were Ang fights that dude, Zuko's dad? Well anyway here is the teaser.
I am seriously trying to figure out, are they even gonna debut this year? I know last year they said that they are, but I don't think that it's going to be in the first half of the year. Because the way they are releasing these teasers its like intro new member featuring Kai, ok now here is 10 teasers of said new member, 20 of Kai and then a couple of duet teasers with Kai, and then it starts all over again with a new member featuring Kai.
The SM Entertainment's much anticipated new boy group, EXO, finally unveiled its new member, Se Hun.
On January 10th, SM unveiled new teaser video which showcases more of Kai and the fifth member Se Hun, who is 17 years old and a powerful dancer that will join either EXO-K or EXO-M. He is well-known for being a tall, good-looking and well-rounded boy.
So far, SM has introduced members Kai, Lu Han, Tao, Chen and Se Hun, exciting fans' curiosity and raising much expectations. These members will make their debut in either EXO-K or EXO-M, which will make their debut on the same day.
_______
OK seriously I could have done without Kai in the damn video, if you wanna release a new member just put them in the video, it makes no freaking sense. SM you are starting to piss me off with this.
Jang Geun Suk’s agency uploaded a video clip via their official Youtube page on the 9th, and it was footage of the actor visiting LMFAO during their performance in Tokyo.
Although it was the actor’s first time meeting them, Jang Geun Suk immediately made a connection with them without being awkward.
LMFAO has started a shuffle-dance trend across the globe, and Jang Geun Suk informed them that he was a huge fan of theirs and that he too shuffle dances where ever he goes.
When asked to see the dance, Jang Geun Suk didn’t hesitate to show them his moves on the spot.
The actor has previously displayed his dance skills on TV and during concerts, but fans were highly impressed with his English.
Netizens who saw the video left comments such as, “That’s Jang Geun Suk for you“, “Jang Geun Suk speaks English this well?”, “I like that he’s so confident“, and more.
Meanwhile, Jang Geun Suk is an ever-rising Hallyu star in Japan and is currently preparing for his small-screen comeback through director Yoon Suk Ho‘s ‘Love Rain‘ with Girls’ Generation member Yoona.
To help promote the upcoming K-Pop Power & Beauty concert in San Francisco, some members from T-ara‘s back-up dance team held a small flash mob in Santa Clara, California!
The local dance crew definitely drew additional interest into the diva concert, which will be held this Friday the 13th (January 13th) at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. The ‘K-Pop Power & Beauty’ concert will see performances from T-ara, Davichi, and ballad singer Yangpa.
So, I think the story is like this:Lee Joon is a hitman. He can't kill the girl he's supposed to and when taking care of her, falls in love with her. He goes off to work again and Thunder his roommate at the garbage dump is taking care of the girl for him, but she falls for him and Thunder likes her back. Lee Joon gets back and find out they like each other. He is mad now and Thunder and him get in a fight...eventually he killed himself instead of them and tellin' them to live well
I find the best things when I actually go to my youtube subscriptions. hehe Well I saw that the Wonder Girls released this audio teaser and my first thought when I listened was that this seems like something Poreotix would dance to, if you don't know who Poreotix is there will be a video right below this like.
FTW POREOTIX- formed in 2007. The name was decided by POpping ChoREOgraphy RoboTICS, which I believe was a really unique way of getting a name. On April 8, 2010 (my birthday) they won ABDC, America's Best Dance Crew which was a well deserved win to me.
They seem to enjoy giving Joon weapons. Kind of shocked that Mir doesn't have on shades in the MV. Kinda hope that he wears them on the live performances.
It seems that SM just wants to shove Kai into our faces, I hope that the next teaser is a new member and not Kai again. That is what you usually do when you release the members one by one, but we get one by Kai.
Supernova's Sungje and Ji Hyuk released their OST for the new drama "Bachelor's Vegetable Store" despite their promotions in Japan. In the drama Ji Hyul plays the role of Yoon Ho Jae.
Yet another teaser for EXO member, Kai. They should really start showing us the other members. I have a feeling that they are gonna drag this whole thing out and I really don't think that it is fair that most of EXO's teasers are Kai's right now.
I have never listened to U-Kiss or Alexander before but the moment this song started to play I fell in love with the beat and then his voice, I will be telling him via twitter that he just gained a new fan.
For those who are curious as to why they are holding their hand up, its to show who is singing so that in the performances the cameraman knows who to focus on.
But other than that, this has got to be my favorite A Pink song, because before this I didn't know who they were.
Member Choiza plays the main role as a dry cleaner who’s in love with a police officer that comes by his store to drop off her uniform. One night, Choiza meets up with an old army buddy at streetside pub, where he confesses that he’s in love with a police officer. Surprised, his friend reveals that he’s in a relationship with a female police officer himself. Of course, the two end up discovering that they’re in love with the same woman, but only one man carries true feelings for her.
I AM IN LOVE THIS SONG!!!
But I heard that they aren't gonna promote with this song, and that is just horrible. I hope the song they do promote will be a million times better then this song. Its like SNSD promoting "Mr Taxi" after "The Boys". Cannot wait for the MV.
I should be asleep but I am about to spend the next 20 minutes watching this MV. ^^ So my thoughts about it will be either up in 20 minutes or in the morning.
MY NOTE:
HOLY FREAKING GOODNESS THIS MV IS AMAZING ON SO MANY LEVELS.
It sucked me in the moment that it started, even though there aren't subtitles yet (I will put that video later whenever I find it, because I believe that it will be more powerful to me if I see the subtitles). But I am not gonna lie I cried twice. Once when he got shot the first time and then when she was driving and he died in the car.
Sad thing is that I didn't pay that much attention to their song, "Lovey Dovey" but whenever "We were in Love" played I was all in. To me the story was the thing that I was most interested in, so that's why I can't wait for English subs.
The confirmed title for SHINee's comeback is "Super Hero".
During the MBC 2011 Music Festival SHINee performed a short slip of the song during their hit song "Lucifer".
On UFO, SHINee's Key and Jonghyun told their fans.
"We put together songs that will make your hearts burst, so look forward to it~." and "Don't be dispirited! Straighten up your back! Sorry for making you wait so long."
It is said the Professor Kim Nando from Seoul University is penning the lyrics to a new song for SHINee.
