Hi AJK, thanks for taking a peek at my post-- doing well over here, especially since I have new music to listen to! I have been reading your posts on Emperor of the Sea, sorry to say I could not hang on and watch-- the long stares were just driving me crazy, the storyline not moving fast enough and still trying to get thru my netflix "The King and I" Keep Warm!

No apologies necessary bird, I had the same reactions. It's gotten better and more lively in the second half, I can at least report that. But took a long time to get there.
Hope your cooking is going well.

Since this thread has been really quiet.... G-Dragon has released his solo album today "Kwon Jiyong" (his real name) Seems to breaking all kinds of records, it's number one here in the states on iTunes.....and many, many other countries. Can't say I am loving all the songs.... but still-- It's GD!!!! Someone mentioned that his favorite number is 8 (his bday is 8/8/1988) so his album was released on the 8th, at 18:00 KST, the album is 18:08 long, and one song is called "Untitled 2014" --which is 1988 + 8 + 18 (crazy!)

Not going, if it was BigBang, I would probably bribed anyone to go with me, if it was Taeyang alone, I would camp outside of the venue to make sure I got in.....but GD- not a huge fan of his alone. Although, I really like his "Untitled, 2014-- can't listen to it with Eng subs as it is such a sad song, I like his "Middle Fingers Up" song for the music, not crazy about all of the lyrics. (it can be an advantage to not know Korean at times!) I once had someone at work overhear me listening to BigBang and she said "I didn't picture you as someone who would like RAP" and I said to me there is a big difference between Korean rap and American rap-- mainly the lyrics-- I do not see why there has to be so much swearing in a song (here or there, once or twice is ok) and many of GD's new songs are like that. My biggest fear has been that the more BigBang comes to the states, and want to become more main stream, their songs would turn into something I don't like. SO far is it not a big issue, but GD's latest music is not a huge appeal to me. Oops, sorry didn't mean to ramble on so long.......but you know me when it comes to BigBang I tend to ramble a lot! (got me going and I went back and re-listened to "Middle Fingers UP", the song is so catchy that I just might go to work tomorrow singing "Middle Fingers UP"-- wish I knew enough Korean to do it! BUT humming it might be enough to get me thru the day! )

Hey Jewel! Don't know if you would be interested, but I was looking at YouTube for episodes of Return of Superman and saw that SUPER JUNIOR was recently on a show called "Weekly Idol" -- it is episode # 328 --- it's late so I didn't stay up to watch the whole episode, but wanted to pass the information on to you-- I always like the show when BigBang is on so I bet this will be good to watch too.

HEY HEY Knov1 !!!! So absoulutley wonderfuly to read a post from you! Haven't really paid much attention to Seungri as a solo artist (into GD and Taeyang solos more), but all the other BigBang members doing their military service, you have to take what you can get and I have to say I really like this song!

Okay so I'm watching Jimmy Kimmel tonight, and the whole audience consisted of girls screaming over something called nct 127. Had not heard of this before (neither had Kimmel so I didn't feel so clueless) and it turns out it's a South Korean boy group. They performed and I didn't think they were anything special but geez they sure have an intense following. Are they actually really good and I just didn't get it?

ajk-- just saw your post and had to laugh --- I felt the same way when my sister called me to tell me that a korean band was on TV and it was BTS --- too many screaming girls for me. I have not listened to nct 127. I did google them and found that they are a sub-group of nct and there are also other sub-groups of nct...... I listened to one of their songs and to me they are "typical" group geared to the younger crowd. Somewhat large group, they sing, dance -- MV not that special. This is why I don't consider BigBang Kpop -- they are older and their music videos are amazing, their music covers many differnt genres -- they just don't sing and dance in their videos, there is so much more going on , they really put on a performance when they are on stage...... I wasn't listening to BigBand in their earlier days and when I watch their mv, I could see how they look a lot like BTS, nct, but they have changed their style so much that one could only hope that the other bands would "mature", too.
