Some underrated comebacks of this year so far:

That beautiful choreography! Each of the girls is a visual, lol.

 

People say it reminds them of Exo. I haven't listened to Exo enough, but I really like this song!

God damnit Taemin, how do you do that?! Those vocals, those visuals, those MOVES! Shinee's maknae is not to be toyed with!

big bang is prob right now internationally the most popular kpop band next to exo. 2NE1 is also a force to be reckoned with. And yeah, if you like that song, check out fantastic baby.

Already did XD. It's amazing too.

OMG!!! I FREAKING LOVE TAEMIIIN!!!!!!!!!!!! THE DRIP DROP SONG IS MY kitten RIGHT NOW!! I need to listen to Press Your Number >.<

[Phantom_999]

It takes me so much time to remember who's who XD But they are so great 

 

I don't think I heard that song, yet.. 

 

Are you talking about Apink? If so they're not a song They are a Girl Group. My favourite Kpop group currently, although I'd say Lovelyz falls in a close second

Oh, I found out afterwards that it was a Group XD. I thought it was a song first...

Taemin has made such an improvement though with his vocals since debut. He's basically on par with Onew now if you ask me.

But his moves though: Dat boy knows how to dance!

Press Your Number is also a good song. Bad Taemin Btw, making this MV was expensive. Very expensive. It was shot in LA.

I feel bad for Lovelyz. They had a rough start b/c of that scandal surrounding Jisoo.

What about boy groups?

Taemin's moves are so so good!! I hope the album will do good in Korea 

The video looks expensive. Drip Drop almost look like a 360° video.

Haven't heard anything from Apink yet ^_^ Might listen to them soon

 

oh, they are?? Is the song out?

I still need to listen to the entire album, but from the few songs I've heard so far, I'm very pleased.

 

It's out!

 

They also released a joke MV in which the members teased each other about their height XD XD XD

 

Fun Fact: Mamamoo's fandom name is "MooMoo." B/c the word "moo" sounds like raddish in Korea, there was a time fans always brought raddishes to the concert before the official lightsticks for Mamamoo were released (also in a form of a raddish). I swear, this fandom, lol.

Lmao, I would love to see their reaction to that

 

Btw, who are you listening too (both bands and singers?) :)

[Mixer]

Btw, what do you guys think about SM Entertainment? 

 

- cause every time I read about them it's always something bad. I don't know much about them, but in EXO there are like 3 Chinese members whom put a lawsuit against them to get out of the company (right now there's only Lay left, and he hasn't performed in a long time, because he is visiting his family in China. But some EXO fans are afraid that he'll leave too..).

I heard they weren't treating their members right. And many of the Chinese trainees were bullied..     

[Popuri]

It's been long but can I also comment?

Does Korea write/say Last name before First name, like in Japan?

I think their first name is the family name while the last name is their own name. And it stays like that, unlike Japan names that sometimes written reversed by foreigner in foreign mass media.
 

I guess it's an Asian thing... I'm Vietnamese, so my parents will also list the last name first.

My name doesn't have family name / last name Just name

The song is doing great! It's charting #1 right now, so they've just got their first all kill. Not sure if it is a PAK or not (I honestly have no idea what the exact definition is cause all the chart stuff is too complicate for me). This is a huge thing for Mamamoo as they are slowly but surely getting public recognition <3

If you wanna see their reaction to the radishes the fans brought, see this XD XD XD

And now the official lightstick for Mamamoo looks like this:

I've got a lot of groups and solo singers I like. Sometimes I just like their personalities and watch their variety shows XD XD XD Not always do I like their music.

But yeah, when it comes to male groups I love: Super Junior (King of Variety, that is a fact), Infinite (also very funny), SHINee. Big Bang's music seems to be also very appealing to me. I still need to listen more to BTS. Also keeping an eye on Seventeen.

For female groups: Mamamoo is my favorite (obviously), 4 Minute (I ignore Hyuna's solos, she can't sing, she's meant to be a rapper), f(x), Red Velvet. Davichi is also nice.

For solo singers: Ailee (best female vocalist in Kpop, period), IU is sweet, Yoon Mirae/ Tasha (best female kpop rapper), SoHyang. I also just discovered Lee Hi XD, Hyolyn from Sistar, Uji from BESTie (best Beyonce covers)

 

Basically, KPop is awesome

Oh yeah, about that... When you get into KPOP, there's no way you will not hear about SM and its supposed treatment towards its idols. Is the company really that awful? I don't know. I haven't really kept up with EXO so far. EXO fans should know better. But you know, there's Jessica from GG, Sulli from f(x), Hangeng from Super Junior, JYJ splitting from TVXQ etc, etc,... Each of them left for different reasons, some of them for personal reasons, others b/c of the slave contracts (seriously, 13 yrs, wtf is that kitten?!).

But then again, SM has some of the best vocalists in KPOP. Kyuhyun, Luna, Chen... And their MVs and music production are topnotch in my eyes. I have such a love-hate relationship with SM.

Fact is, that SM has a very hard grip over their idols. On youtube, all of the MVs are released collectively on one channel. You'd think that big groups such as SNSD, TVXQ, EXO, or Super Junior would have their own channel...

Spanish speaking countries also have a different system when it comes to names. It's honestly confusing. Also include whether or not the woman is taking over the husband's last name or not. Different cultures, so here in the US it's frowned upon when the woman does not take over the husband's last name (which I don't see the big deal with). In Vietnam, wives keep their birth name. My mom and dad just happened to have the same last name XD

Mamamoo is winning a lot with the song right now!!! I'm proud of them!!!! I heard they were in the United States, but I don't know why..

 

Oh, and I watched their episode to "Weekly Idol", they even had radish with them XD

As for EXO 3 members (all Chinese) left. Kris, Luhan and Tao. I haven't kept up with why Kris left, but he's doing good now. Luhan left because of his health problems, and it seemed like SM didn't know what to do with him in the future. But Luhan is also doing great now! He'll be touring soon, with his new album. For Tao, well, I think it was health too. I heard it has something to do with his dad too..

 

SM have really great artists.. It's a shame if they treat them badly.

Oh and anyone here listening/know Astro? I can't bellive their Maknae is the same age as me.. It's pretty young for an idol. But I guess there's many Kpop artists debuting at a young age now..

I've heard of them, but haven't listened into them yet.

Jesus, new idols are now oftentimes born post-2000. It won't be long, and most of the new idols are gonna be younger than me.

 

I like the song! It's too bad GOT7 seldomly does well digitally though.

[trang95]

Taeyeon's solo album from last year is honestly gold in my eyes (or ears). I prefer the single " U R" a lot more than the lead single "I."

But the cinematography for "I" is absolutely gorgeous. Shot in New Zealand after all.

Lightsticks Mamamoo just has really unique ones, lol.
