Her name is Song Ji Eun... I love her voice. Now why can't they have made this girl into a solo singer? She's definitely got the vocals to stand by herself!
"Zinger" is her name... um, she's a bit gangsta LOL.. but I like how she can actually rap. She kinda reminds me of CL and Miryo, just because lol. Zinger sounds like she's on their level. But I still think Miryo of BEG is the best female rapper in kpop idol groups~
(And check out the girl that dances in the background!! HAHAHAHAHAHA)
...And I still miss Jaebeom :(
I miss my boys!! What's with all the troubles happening this year T___T
First it was DBSK with the lawuit now it's 2PM without its leader :'(

bored - Music:Passion - Utada Hikaru
I really can't believe this :( He was my favorite 2PM member. Such a talented leader and a likable personality... I was so shocked when I found out. Jay Park, has left Korea and his group 2PM. He got a lot of backlash concerning some MySpace comments he made during his trainee days. Something along the lines of "Korea is gay... I hate Koreans.."
What do you guys think of this?
Personally I think that this was blown WAAAY out of proportion. I know it's a mean thing to say, but this was a few years back already, he did not say it outright to everyone recently. And I would think that he probably doesn't think the same way anymore.
I just... I'm a bit sad now. He really was one of my most favorite Kpop guys :(
Right now, I hate how the internet has so much power over Korean entertainment. Netizens can be really hurtful but then again, the fact that I am not Korean is why I'm not that offended by the comments he made.
BUUUUT even if I was Korean and was really offended I would not petition for suicide. That's just INSANE. WHY would you do something like that. Over a comment, over someone you probably don't even know personally. UGH, Korean netizens, they just... UGH.
I don't want to go into a rant or an argument about this so all I'm gonna say is that I like Jaebeom a lot, and that I'm really sad about this news.
We'll miss you, Jay..Whatever you'll do in the future, FIGHTING!!

sad - Music:Only You - 2PM
They're good performers. I can say I'm an f(x) fan now lol. I really like them, especially Victoria and Luna. Victoria is so flexible lol and she can do all that stuff is really cool!! Luna is... she's great dancer, so I love her already lol. Krystal was alright, she can sing -- but she could do better though~ Sulli... well, she's cute. That's all :P
I'm glad they can sing live pretty well and dance really well too, and they actually show they can sing and dance! Yay for actually showing your talent through your own songs. I hope you get what I'm implying about some kpop groups here, lol. Anyways~ the performance was great, not OMGWHEREHAVEYOUBEENALLMYLIFE great, but... just really good. They're worth watching (and listening to) :)
One thing I don't like is how they're making Amber really look like a guy. I mean, seriously! Are they trying to make girls confused or something?? haha~ it's pretty interesting seeing a real tomboy in a k-girl group though. But to be honest, she isn't really that interesting as a member of the group other than she looks like a pretty boy :P Sorry Amber fans~ but I think I'll change my mind as they release more stuff... that's just what I think atm.
4minute - "Muzik" live
I really, really, really LOVE their outfits here. I think they look really cool, props to their stylist! Especially what Jihyun, Hyunah and Gayoon are wearing <333 Soooo cool. I think I like Jiyoon a whole lot more now. She's so fierce here!! Okay, I changed my mind about Hyunah being leader - - JIYOON should have definitely been 4minute's leader. She kicks ass so much, especially when she took off her glasses - fierce~
Hyunah was cool, but a bit too... sexy? I can't believe were the same age, lol. No top lifting, please >__> But I thought she was still pretty cool. Gayoon was good as well, and Sohyun and Jihyun. Overall, it was a good performance. Better than what they've done before, imo. I guess I'm a 4minute fan now too~ lol
- Mood:
okay - Music:Honesty - Yuya Matsushita
I like it. Blame my weird liking for bright neon lights and overall shiny-ness xD
But really, I don't think 4minute is that bad. Although I don't know what Jihyun (who is supposed to be the leader) and Sohyun contributes to the group. Sorry but they're basically always in the background.
And I don't care what anyone says about Hyunah, she can dance and she's fierce as a performer. She should be the leader, and I know many people attack her because they think she's some 'attention whore' or something like that but she's got what it takes to be at the front anyway - although, her screentime in Hot Issue was just a little bit too much. For the Muzik MV and song, though, it's more divided ^^
She should be leader. Period.
Jiyoon... well, everyone loves her and I see why. She's got that fierce-ness too. I love her rapping, actually. I think Jiyoon's pretty badass..!
I'm also happy that Gayoon got more screentime. Have you heard this girl sing? SHE SHOULD NOT BE AUTOTUNED, seriously.
Now that I think about it, 4minute should have just been 3 members. And no, not because I'm bias xD But it's for these reasons that I became biased lol. The group should have just been Hyunah, Jiyoon, and Gayoon. Why? Because these 3 are like, the stock members of every idol group in Kpop. Hyunah = should be leader, she can be the dancer of the group since I still don't know what her singing voice is like, and she can actually rap imo. Jiyoon = the obvious rapper of the group. And Gayoon = the lead singer, and maybe also the cute one because she's like that. There you go~
Back to the MV, I am really sucker for neon lights in a video lol. And for backgrounds with bright lights and shiny clothes and just really neon and metallic... with a decent amount of dancing... it's my type of mv :P It's pretty obvious that I'd like the clothes they wear here, I think this kind of style is really, really cool. AND! I love Hyunah's hair, haha... not the short one but the long one, with sort of Sunye style layered hair if you know what I'm talking about. Lol, it's so square-ish but cool. Not something I would try myself because I don't think it will suit me, but it looks super cute on Hyunah ^^
The dancing is so much better than the mess that was Hot Issue... Although the dancing was not that big of a leap, it flowed better.
4minute vs. f(x) - ROUND ONE! Here we go again...haha...
- Mood:
calm - Music:What A Girl Wants - 4minute
...It didn't really :P Although that girl, Luna - I think she's my favorite at the moment. She's got that fierceness to her lol, during the dance break she definitely overshadowed Victoria and Krystal behind her heh. I don't know about her vocals, since you can't really tell anything from this song but I have a feeling she's going to be the all-rounder one. The one that can sing AND dance, like the Junsu of the group LOL. She's really pretty too~ her look is sort of different... Idk, she has a more mature feel about her. Victoria's really pretty too. I've always liked her, she's cool... and she suits being leader, imo.
I don't know what Sulli is there for, lol. Oh wait, I know. She's the cute one. Someone has to fill that spot -_-;;
Krystal (I really like her name lol. I like it spelt with a K) is... I don't know, can't really tell :P Her vocals sound... hmm. I don't think she should have sang that part at the bridge... her voice doesn't seem strong for that part >_<
And then there's AMBER... You know, I don't know what to think of her to be honest xD I mean, not that I don't like her or anything - I actually like her rap near the end of the song... but it's just weird cuz she looks so much like a guy. Lol, like a pretty boy. I don't find her attractive like that btw, haha. It's just a bit unsettling xD BUT ...SHE'S COOL.
There's nothing else really interesting about the video, or the song, but I like their clothes. Especially the clothes Luna, Victoria and Krystal wore. The pink dress was sooo cute~~ I WANT. And those 3's clothes during the dancing scenes are something that I would wear everyday, seriously. If I had it, that is T_T

- Music:Lachata - f(x)
Oh my, hahahaha... I cannot stop laughing xDD This wins. Some of the members of 2AM and 2PM do a parody of Brown Eyed Girls' Abracadabra and... and... Just watch it, and you'll see LOL. Even BEG came and did the super amazing hip sway with the guys which makes this win even more ! I found Taekyeon really adorable in this, he looks embarassed , like he's thinking "I have to get through this -___-;;" his smile is so cute too~ Maknae Chansung did Ga In's dance break and... I thought it was pretty hot lol. I found Chansung kinda sexy xD Really!
And Jo Kwon... you gotta watch it. He never fails to amuse xD
- Mood:
happy - Music:Gee (acoustic ver.) - IU
First of all, HOW SEXY DOES HE LOOK IN THAT OUTFIT???????! Rawr. I'm liking how the shirt is kinda open ;D And the color red really suits him!! <33
It's a really nice song, judging from this performance ^^ ...Gah, he is so cute. And sexy. That thing he did at 1.45-1.47, this walking backwards thing, was pretty sexy :3
I was also surprised that he did some rapping too!! I thought it was good... honestly, I think Jae is a better rapper than Yunho. And I'm not just saying that because I'm biased but he just has more of a flow than Yunho. I dunno, just what I think. Jaejoong raps pretty good for someone who thinks he cannot rap to save his own life, or something like that, lol. He should do more rapping in the future, it's... sexy ^____^.
Hi5 for the Soulmates to do an m-flo cover <3! m-flo's actually a favorite Jpop act of mine and I've been wishing for an m-flo (loves) Tohoshinki type of collaboration to happen in the future~ hopefully it will happen someday!
- Mood: okay
- Music:Hot Issue - 4minute
Group name is f(x) . Yeah. Lol. And just reading about what the company meant with the name it's just... it's only a freaking F with an X variable! Apparently its pronounced Effects. Well... good idol group names are hard to come up with these days :P I mean, SHINee? I love those guys but their group name still irks me >_<
Anyways, on with the teaser video~! "Lachata"
So far, I'm not very WOW-impressed with these girls but then I'll have to wait for the whole mv to come out then I'll see... but they can dance really well, thats good! And the girl that did the tumbling thing was pretty cool~ that was unexpected from something coming out of SM lol.
Not much else to say about the video except they're good dancers. And the song sounds ...okay. Again, not really wow, but it's not the whole song so I'll just have to wait til it comes out. I hope these girls are kick ass :]
I think they're supposed to be SM's distraction from the whole DBSK thing going on at the moment, what a bad time to debut though since some fans are considering boycotting SM products. Well, good luck to these girls and I hope they really are talented. Since I know SM Entertainment is really full of talented people, no sarcasm intended there. SM's concept of oversized groups like Super Junior and So Nyeo Shi Dae overshadow the fact that the members of these groups actually have amazing talents whether it be singing or dancing. Now if only they would not go into making idol groups of more than or 6 members then it would be fine lol.
- Mood:
tired - Music:Heartbreaker - G Dragon
Those 3 songs sound pretty good, I'm surprised. I thought G Dragon was gonna go all techno on us with his solo stuff but it doesn't sound like it's going to go that way ^___^. The recent songs he did for Big Bang was kind of... meh. I really missed the Lies and Last Farewell days~
So far from the 3 songs it sounds ...fresh. I've come to associate GD with club/techno (overdose) lately so I'm hoping his solo album will show how good his skills really are as a composer.
The first song, "A Boy" sounds very GDragon. I dunno, it just has that Jiyong feel to it lol. My favorite out of the 3 would have to be "Butterfly" because it's a slow song with acoustic guitar in the background (<3), something quite different from what we'd expect from GD =) But "Heartbreaker" is abit... meh. Nothing too special for me :P
I really wanna hear the rest of his songs now, I have a feeling it will be really good. (I'm hoping~!)
And if anyone even reads this, you know what else is good? Brown Eyed Girls' Sound G album ;) Listen to it now if you haven't ^^

After the ‘SM TWON LIVE ‘09′ was postponed indefinitely by SM Entertainment who said the reason was the lawsuit between the agency and TVXQ’s three members, Xiah Junsu, Micky Yoochun and YoungWoong Jaejoong, the fans’ criticisim has been flooding in.
SM released an official statement on the 7th of August stating that, “The ‘SM TOWN LIVE ‘09′ that was scheduled to be held on August 16th at the Seoul Jamsil Olympic Stadium has been postponed indefinitely.”
SM also stated that all ticket holders would be receiving a full refund but the fans’ rage did not subside easily. On TVXQ’s Hompage, posts of disappointment came from not only TVXQ fans, but from fans of other singers who were to be performing in the SM TOWN concert.
TVXQ fans stated, “We put a lot of effort and money into making events, and now they’ve become obsolete,” “How are they going to compensate for our efforts to secure tickets?” “We even rented a car to go, how are going to compensate for that?” “We’ve waited one year, and this is what we get?” They showed such strong reactions and protested to SM Entertainment. Some fans said that SM was trying to place the blame on TVXQ by saying that the concert was postponed because of the group and harshly criticized SM for what they did.
The fans of fellow SM Entertainment singers such as SHINee and Super Junior also showed their discontent and sided with and supported the fans of TVXQ
Some fans said they would visit SM to give their complaints while other said they would boycott SM goods. There has also been a suggestion for all the fans to gather and rally against SM on the 16th at the Jamsil Olympic Stadium at the time the concert was supposed to happen.
SM said, “SM TOWN LIVE ‘09 was a concert that was extremely popular with tickets being sold out as soon as they were put on sale, so we are very sorry to be giving out this unfortunate news,” and “We promise to bring a better SM TOWN LIVE concert in the future to those fans and families who wish to come to these concerts.”

EDIT: Totally misunderstood the first time I read this article.. Thanks again for correcting me lol.
It's low for SM to blame DBSK ... that's very unprofessional :S Although I understand why SM would cancel SMTown because of the situation, I think they could have still went on with the show...since SMTown isn't only made up of DBSK...
But anyway, I'm just glad DBSK actually stood up for themselves with the lawsuit and not put up with the poor treatment >___>;;
