Girls Generation - FLOWER POWER MVGirls Generation - FLOWER POWER MV (Dance Ver.) Girls Generation released the MV for their upcoming Japanese single "Flower Power". The single goes on sale November 21. It'll be followed by a full length album a week later. Still not sure how to feel about this song. The SONE's are getting restless. GG hasn't released a new Korean single in over a year. Kim Jong Kook - Men Are All Like That MVKim Jong Kook released his 7th album titled "Journey Home". "Men are all like that" is the title track. NS Yoon-G – If You Love Me MV (featuring Jay Park) NS Yoon-G is back with a new single titled "If You Love Me" featuring Jay Park. Neither of them appear in the MV. Yoon Ji sort of does but you don't really see her. Tahiti - Hasta Luego MV"Hasta Luego" is a new pop dance single from girl group Tahiti. They would have been better off leaving out the "neener neener neener" part. POSITION - How Painful It Could Be MV (Five Fingers OST) "How Painful It Could Be" is a new ballad by Position for the SBS Five Fingers OST. One more thing. On page 9, I updated the vid of Suzy falling at Gag Concert to a much clearer video. Because I know you guys were all like "Knov1, we need a HD version of this." LOL.

THAT is funny. She recovered well. So, who was the guy dressed up like the girls? He looked a little familiar, but maybe only because he's Korean. Is that some kind of gag show? She played a trick on somebody, after he'd been so nice to her, too....

Quick review of Tahiti "Hasta Leugo" Using the title of the next vid "How Painful could it be ?" "Ever seen Hellraiser ? THAT PAINFUL !". Hasta Leugo ,Vaya Con Dios ,Addios,Vamos whatever it takes !
God that was Wonder Brown Eyed Girls Generation or purile generic crap .
aah "the thrill has gone "
Seriously after having a good laugh at its expense is there anything that stands out from all the other girl bands ?Sadly no they are all starting to sound the same .

LOL. I wonder how many people will be PSY for Halloween. Miss A was on Gag Concert over the weekend. Suzy suffered a nasty spill as she ran on stage. She wasn't hurt but I'm sure JYP almost had a heart attack when this happened. Suzy is JYP's biggest money maker and the sole reason Miss A is relevant in Korea. If it weren't for Suzy's popularity, Miss A would have probably disbanded and JYP would have filed for bankruptcy by now. Suzy - Slips & falls on stage (Gag Concert 10.28.12)You can view a gif of Suzy's fall by clicking HERE. When they first started Min was the most popular because she was the best singer ,the two Chinese sisters have always added little but no doubt its Suzy who is carrying this group . Question is she is taking off in acting ,modeling as a singer id figure the other 3 are on borrowed time .

D-UNIT - LUV ME MVLuv Me is D-Unit's new single. This group's biggest problem is their management company is promoting them with an image that doesn't fit them. Roh Ji Hoon - Punishment MVPunishment is from Roh Ji Hoon's first mini album "The Next Big Thing". NOEL - Things that I couldn't say MV"Things that I couldn't say" is from NOEL's 4th album. Ailee - Love Note MV (FULL HOUSE Take 2 OST) Love Note is from the Full House Take 2 OST. URBAN ZAKAPA - All the Same MV"All The Same" is from Urban Zakapa's 2nd album. Orange Caramel will be releasing a Japanese version of "Lipstick" in December. It'll also include a Japanese version of "Milkshake". Shake it like a milkshake! THAT is funny. She recovered well. So, who was the guy dressed up like the girls? He looked a little familiar, but maybe only because he's Korean. Is that some kind of gag show? She played a trick on somebody, after he'd been so nice to her, too.... I have no idea who he is. Must be a comedian. Gag Concert is a comedy show. Used to be aired in Chicago when we still got KBS programming. Seriously after having a good laugh at its expense is there anything that stands out from all the other girl bands ?Sadly no they are all starting to sound the same . I think one of the bright spots this year has been Girl's Day. The members are cute and likable. Don't Forget Me is catchy. I have no idea why they aren't more popular. You'd think the uncle fans would be all over them like rice cakes. Girl's Day - Don't Forget Me MVGirl's Day - CSI Interview (Click on CC for English subs) Girl's Day - ASK IN A BOX (Click on CC for English subs) When they first started Min was the most popular because she was the best singer ,the two Chinese sisters have always added little but no doubt its Suzy who is carrying this group . Question is she is taking off in acting ,modeling as a singer id figure the other 3 are on borrowed time . One of the oddities about KPOP is how little the popularity of a member means towards the success of a group. The 2 biggest female idols in Korea right now are IU and Suzy. Suzy's popularity keeps Miss A around but isn't enough to put them in the same category as Girls Generation. IU is a solo artist so this doesn't apply to her. Uee is the most popular member of After School. Orange Caramel as a unit is more popular than Uee or After School. Yet, that does nothing to help After School's status as a group. The same can be said about Hyuna & 4Minute, Eun Ji & APink, So Hee & Wonder Girls.

Thanks Knov you are right i really liked Girls Day .
Yes the whole After School and their sub band Orange Caramel is mind boggling . Funny though the founder of After School (i forget her name ) was the subject of rumors that she was forced out by the management because she was too old (32) ,although her influence in the group had declined anyway and she had been usurped by younger members .

Byul - You're so bad MVYou're So Bad is a ballad from Byul's new mini album Nostalgia. Baek Seung Heon - Til the Sun rises MVBaek Seung Heon is a new male singer. The pop dance track "Til the Sun rises" is the first single from his mini album. BOYFRIEND - JANUS MVThe idol group BOYFRIEND is back with a new album titled Janus. Mishil would like all the pretty boys. SMASH – I Will Protect MVI Will Protect is from SMASH's new mini album. They're dancing on top of a high-rise. Monday Kiz – Probability MVProbability is from Monday Kiz's new mini album Healing Activity. They sound good but song is a bit generic. A-PRINCE - Hello MV (DANCE VER.) The boyband A-Prince is out with a new single titled "Hello". Wow this is cheesy. A-Prince used to be known as Taken. They changed their name when they switched management companies. Thanks Knov you are right i really liked Girls Day. Glad you like them. Girl's Day has become one of my favorite groups. They've been around since 2010. They used to have 5 members but a girl left. Now they're a 4 member group. I think they tend to get overlooked because Dream Tea Entertainment is a small company. They only have one other artist besides Girl's Day.

Girl's Day - Let's Dance TutorialGirl's Day - Don't Forget Me MVGirl's Day released a dance tutorial video for "Don't Forget Me". FIESTAR – We Don't Stop MVFIESTAR is back with a new single titled "We Don't Stop". Son Dam Bi – Dripping Tears MVDripping Tears is a new mini album from Pledis solo artist Son Dam Bi. This is easily one of the strangest videos I've seen this year. THE SEE YA – Be With You MV (Drama Ver.)THE SEE YA – Be With You MV (Dance Ver.)"Be With You", featuring SPEED member Tae Woon, is The Seeya's first single. The drama version of the MV is almost 9 mins long. Kim Bum Soo - Rock Star MV (Live Ver.) Kim Bum Soo released a new live album. B1A4 – TRIED TO WALK MVThe pop dance track "Tried To Walk" is from B1A4's third mini album In The Wind. DalShabet – Have, Don’t Have MV (Have Ver.) DalShabet – Have, Don’t Have MV (Don't Have Ver.) Happy Face Entertainment girl group Dal Shabet released their 5th mini album titled "Have, Don’t Have". LISA - Woman MVWoman is a new single by solo singer Lisa. She's mostly known as a musical actress. Another celebrity has been done in by twitter. This time it's Korea's little sister, IU. The singer accidentally tweeted a photo of her and Super Junior member Eunhyuk. In the photo, IU is wearing pajamas and Eunhyuk appears to be shirtless. She took the down photo right away but the damage was already done. Netizens went nuts speculating IU (19) and Eunhyuk (26) are not just dating, but sleeping together, and when and where the photo might have been taken. LOEN Entertainment, IU's management company, released a statement explaining that the photo is from the summer. IU was sick and Eunhyuk was merely paying his close friend a visit. Netizens aren't buying it. If it's just a visit to a sick friend, that wouldn't explain why he's shirtless. IU still lives with her family. Doesn't make much sense that he would be walking around shirtless in his sick friend's house. Many believe that photo was actually taken at his house. Idols dating isn't the end of the world. KARA member Goo Hara is openly dating BEAST member Yong Jun Hyung. Wonder Girls lead singer Sun Ye has publicly stated she has a boyfriend. IU and Eunhyuk's story is a big deal because she's the biggest female idol in Korea and widely thought of as the nation's perfect little princess. On top of that, LOEN Entertainment's explanation made little sense and only angered fans. Image is everything when it comes to idols. The mere thought that IU might have been sleeping with her boyfriend is more than KPOP fandom can handle. The truth doesn't matter. The guy in the photo is almost irrelevant. Her image has been irreparably damaged. Other celebrities have survived worst scandals but IU's career won't be the same after this.

Wow, and I thought the Petraeus thing was weird...Interesting story; thanks for posting it. The way these big conglomerates take kids and image-manipulate the heck out of them to turn them into media icons, it's very disturbing. Certainly not unique to K-pop, but K-pop is very good at it. Hard to feel sorry for her; if she's making huge money from a certain image of herself, and she's not living by it, then she deserves the criticism. But good grief, she's only 19. You start putting 19-year-olds on pedestals, what do you expect? People take this stuff way too seriously and give way too much acclaim to "stars" who haven't done enough to merit it.

I feel bad for IU because she's the one getting the bulk of the hate. As I mentioned before, image is everything with idols. Management companies go to great lengths to promote and protect the image of their artists. SM Entertainment would like everyone to believe that Girls Generation members have never even had boyfriends. Not sure why anyone would buy into that, but that's what they want you to believe. Because IU is a girl and only 19, she's being judged more harshly. Eunhyuk and Super Junior's management company, SM Entertainment, has declined to comment on all this. I don't blame them. Eunhyuk has gotten some criticism from this but not to the extent of IU. There's nothing SM could say that's going to help anyway. A-JAX - 2MYX MVDSP boyband A-JAX released their first mini album. C-CLOWN – Far Away…Young Love MVC-Clown released a new mini album titled "Young Love". Natthew - She's Bad MV (feat. Yong Jun Hyung from BEAST) She's Bad, featuring Yong Jun Hyung from BEAST, is the debut single from new singer Natthew. I wonder if Hara's boyfriend was wearing his couple ring. Couldn't tell. LED Apple – Let the Wind Blow MVLet the Wind Blow is a new single from LED Apple. Ga Yoon – My Love By My Side (feat. Il Hoon from BTOB) Ga Yoon from 4minute released a single titled "My Love By My Side" featuring Il Hoon from BTOB.

SPICA - LONELY MVSpica released a new mini album titled "Lonely". Lee Seung Gi - Return MVLee Seung Gi is back with a new mini album titled "Forest". The fangirls must be in a frenzy right now. SeonBi - I think I love U So MV"I think I love U So" is from the OST for the KBS sitcom Shut Up Family. JUNIEL – Bad Man MVBad Man is from Juniel's mini album 1&1. Kim Sung Kyu - 60 Sec MVKim Sung Kyu from Infinite released his 1st mini album "Another Me". HyunA from 4Minute, Goo Hara from KARA and Hyorin from Sistar are now doing soju ads for Lotte. Lee Hyori used to be their main model. Lotte used Hyori's sexy image to their advantage but the old campaign was more about having drinks with friends. That seems to have changed. After looking at the new photos, it seems the new campaign slogan is "After a couple of bottles of this stuff, all women will begin to look like this" lol.

Orange Caramel - Lipstick MV (Japanese version) Orange Caramel - Ask In A Box (Click on CC for English subtitles) If you couldn't get enough of Lipstick, now you can enjoy the Japanese version of the song. As I'm sure you all know by now, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez broke up. I know. Sad stuff. Billboard put up a poll asking who people think should be his next girlfriend. They included HyunA from 4Minute as one of the poll choices. At last check, she was leading with 45% of the vote. Why HyunA, you ask? Because her diamond ring is so bling bling? Sun Ye from Wonder Girls is getting married in January. This is the first time I can think of a girl group member getting married while her group is still active. Of course, the moment her marriage plans were announced, rumors swirled that she was pregnant. Sun Ye and JYP Entertainment insist that's not the case. What does this mean for the Wonder Girls? Sun Ye will more than likely fulfill any commitments the group already had planned. But, it would lead you to believe their days are numbered. Sun Ye's future husband is Korean but his family lives in Canada. According to her future father-in-law, the couple will live there. I doubt she's going to be traveling back and forth all the time. Maybe if the Wonder Girls were still hugely popular in Korea but that hasn't been the case for 3-4 years. Even within JYP, they're lower on the totem pole than Suzy & Miss A.
