`SONGS~ KPOP JANUARY FAVOURITES

Cherry Bullet- Q&A
If you are looking for a cute MV, then this will suit your taste, not only is the song pumpy and enthusiastic, the dance is easy to follow as well as cute!!!

Seventeen- Home

YESSSS!!! These boys are amazing and you would easily know this because of their famous dance moves, and the idea that the group is divided into about 3 subgroups (dancers, rappers, singers), they have so much talent. This song is not so much as the rest of their previous songs but has a pleasing and authentic sound to it to bring you in a calm mood. These boys will always make you happy!!

Hyomin of T-ara - U UM U UM

You all should know about this goddess! I first got to know of T-ara, and Hyomin through the well-known drama "Dream High" which had two series and were amazing!!!! This song is aesthetically pleasing, and has a great beat to it, making it easy to dance and think about those great summer vibes!!

NCT DREAM- Candle Light

SM did a great job debuting this subunit a while ago, so much talent in one group, and overall cuteness! You cannot not fall in love with these boys. The vibe from this song is soft and sweet and the harmonies are amazing, it kind of someones like EXOs "Universe"!!

(to add more next week, stay tuned)

Kpop removed from YOUTUBE?!!!!

Say what?!

Some of the most well known Korean pop groups like Twice and BTS had their music videos removed temporarily on Youtube because an Indian company called "Airplex Software Private Limited" made false copyright claims on Jan.15. this lasted for quite some hours and around 7:59 a.m. EST reappeared!

This resulting in lots of fans getting upset, and having over 5,000 people sign a petition asking Youtube to ban the company that allegedly started all this. The companies could have easily lost any potential benefits like sales, and ad clicks, but because this was caught early on it did not result in any drastic changes or charges as we know of now.

-NEWS- Super Junior bringing SPANISH music into the KOREAN music Industry!!!

SUJU on the there latest song "Otra Ves"- "One More Time."

Once again Super Junior keeps surprising us with fantastic music styles in the Korean music industry. 

Featuring REIK, they inspired a Spanish themed song like the one "Lo Siento" earlier this year", with the title "Otra Vez" translating to one more time, of course following with amazing vocals and dance choreography the song since its publication has received excellent feedback, and a total as of Oct 14, 11,074,975 views on Youtube, with almost a million likes!!!!

What do you think about this style of music? I personally love mexican/Spanish music, as well as Korean, so I love the mix of both.

Whats Jessica Jung been up to since her departure with Girls Generation?

Jessica Jung

Bio: Jessica Jung is 28 years old born on April 18, 1989. She was scouted by S.M Entertainment while on her vacation at South Korea, and later on in 2000, joined the company as a trainee. After 7 years as a trainee she debuted with Girls Generation.

In 2014 she established her fashion brand Blanc & Eclare, and later on she was withdrawn from the group due to conflicts between group schedules and her own bossiness activities. Rumors are that her group members did not like the establishment of her new clothing brand, and kicked her out. Jessica was one of their best singers, and the main singer of the group. Following the dismissal, she ended her contract with S.M Entertainment and signed with Coridel Entertainment, a fairly new company in 2016, prior to the release of her debut solo album, With Love, J. Which was a gift for her fans.

Jessica started hosting in 2016 Beauty Bible with Kim Jae-Kyung.

                                                          


              In 2015, Jessica was confirmed to be the female lead in the Chinese romantic comedy film titled I Love That Crazy Little Thing, alongside William Chan and Nicholas Tse. The film was released in August 2016, and Jessica collaborated with Chan on the theme song "Love! Love! Aloha!".

~ Running Man ~

Hola! Todays topic is gonna be on Running Man! 

Some of you might not know know what Running Man is, or what they do; so I will be giving you some background on the Reality Show.

Running Man (Korean: 런닝맨) is a South Korean variety show, forming part of SBS's Good Sunday lineup. It first aired on July 11, 2010, and as of 2016, it is one of the longest-running variety programs in South Korean history, currently at six years, surpassing the channel's previous variety show, X-Man (at three and a half years), and behind MBC's Infinite Challenge (11 years), and KBS2's 1 Night 2 Days (9 years).

Running Man was initially classified as an "urban action variety"; a genre of variety shows in an urban environment. The MCs and guests were to complete missions at a landmark to win the race.The show has since shifted to a more familiar reality-variety show concept focused on games. It has garnered attention as being the comeback program for Yoo Jae-suk, the main MC of the program, after leaving Good Sunday's Family Outing in February 2010.

The show has become popular in other parts of Asia, even reaching its popularity outside Asia, has gained massive online popularity among Hallyu fans, and having been fansubbed into a number of languages by international audiences, such as English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Malaysian, Indonesian, Burmese, Arabic, Russian and Turkish.

Everything you need to know about Gfriend !!!!

(from left to right) Sowon, Eunha, Yerin, SinB, Umji, and Yuju.

GFriend

The group debuted in 2015 and is under Source Music Entertainment, which I believe is not a well known company as I have never heard of it. From there debut with "Glass Bead" which has 16,072,858 views as of now, with there comeback "Navillera" that has 9,035,579 views in 3 weeks, the group is popular and well known internationally. The CEO has stated that the girls will not be doing sexy concepts which leaves it to the conclusion that the there comebacks are gonna be cute and pure concepts as there usual stuff. SinB has stated that "sexy doesn't fit well for us. We have absolutely no desire to go sexy". There most viewed music video they have at the moment is "Rough" with 28,518,595 Views, and 2nd "Me gusta tu" with 27,331,239 Views.

Rough

Me Gustas Tu

The group got more known after performing Me Gustas Tu on a rainy day, were it was really slippery and and most of the members were falling down, but kept getting up and dancing until the end of the song. Because of that they gained a lot of fans, as they basically think of them as true performers after not giving up, and consistently getting hurt from falling. The video at the moment has 11,366,068 Views on Youtube.

Everything about ASTRO!!! (not done, just started)

Astro is a kpop boy band, that debuted in February 23, 2016 with their mini album 'Spring Up'.

They had already went public before that date. They had there own reality show called 'Astro Okay, Ready' in January 2016, and before that they were leads in the drama called 'To be Continued" in August 2015. I watched both the reality show and the drama, and I was already excited about this boy group before they I even heard there music. I have watched most of there V live broadcasts (they are really fun), and most of us that watched 'Unpretty Rapstars' season 2 knew a little bit more about MoonBin, because of his sister Sua which was a contestant that year and went to the finales.

This is him with his mother at the finales to support his sister.
