What Makes Kpop Special

Today a friend in Korea asked, “What is it about Kpop, as opposed to American music, for example, that makes it special, and why do you like it?”

I felt that this was one of the easiest questions to answer, so I thought I’d post my response here.

Vacation Adventures: Kpop America!

I just returned home from a vacation in Chicago, and it seems that Kpop follows me wherever I go. (Previously on a trip to Canada, I found SNSD’s “Hoot” playing on a TV in a furniture store, of all things.) But look what I found in Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg:

Review: SHINee–“Sherlock (Clue + Note)”

SHINee should…probably not quit their day jobs to become detectives.

The Ultimate Kpop Song?

Man, I am such a DJ Masa fangirl. All his stuff is just to die for. So the Ultimate Kpop Song is…pretty much what we would expect: full of easy English or just gibberish filler words? “Oh, baby [boy/girl], I wanna dance tonight?” To be fair, though, it seems like more and more native English songs are just like this. Or worse.

Happy April Fool’s Day! Bet you thought this would be a real review, huh? Ugh, I’m so sorry about the lack of updates recently, guys. I have a real job now, which: yay! monies! But unfortunately it’s eating my previously free time, and when I do have free time I’m kind of dead and just want to relax and drool over SHINee’s Sherlock promo pictures and read dirty fanfic. Still, I will update when I can, hopefully very soon. Thanks for your patience! *hugs you all*

Jaehyo reveals his amazing talent for playing with fire.

THIS—IS—MBLAQ!! a.k.a. Joon becomes a supernatural assassin.

Review: Sunny Hill–“The Grasshopper Song”

Sunny Hill re-enact Aesop’s classic fable with a twist.

Review: After School–“Rambling Girls”

After School go a-rambling in sexy, layered silvery outfits.

Review: T-ara–“Lovey Dovey”

T-ara’s Qri and Eunjung get mixed up in the underworld of drugs.
