f(x) is back! After a year long hiatus, the young ladies are back! When SM released their Medley this was the song that caught my ears. The song is very beautiful, the lyrics are beautiful, Amber's rapping is beautiful. Sadly, this song is only Amber, Luna, and Krystal.


It’s just another story, I fell in love with a foreigner
Yeah and it’s all about me, how can I make you understand me?
That black shadow far away, if I can meet you, I will run thousands of kilometers
Haha the gun shot in my heart goes bang
Let’s go, there is a race right now toward you
Beautiful Stranger, I’ve fallen into your big eyes
To the mysterious feeling, the language, I open my heart
Beautiful stranger, people say that you’re dangerous
They don’t try to see the you that I see, no
* The stories in the deep silences
You came from a different image, a different world
When you look at me as you extend your long hands
Take me to the place where you are
** Uhohuhohoh Beautiful Stranger X3
Uhohuhohohoh
The kid called Curiosity is next to me
It calls me and follows me around form morning to night
The detachment of dreams and reality resemble you
It doesn’t matter, tell me everything, I’m ready
A strange person, a strange us, I want to get to know you, deep into that mask
No matter how heavy the door is
I’ll keep it open so that we can talk a little more
Beautiful stranger, an angel with a clear soul
The music that reaches through the tips of my hands, that music possesses my heart
Beautiful stranger, you are mysterious to them
They’re scared of you because they can’t understand, so they just push you away, no
* REPEAT
** REPEAT
Hey There Don’t Be Shy, talk to me
Look into my eyes, beautiful stranger
Don’t hesitate, hold my hand, take me, beautiful stranger
You know that I’m different than them, look at my eyes, beautiful stranger
Just like this, just like right now, it’s not strange, no
You came as a colorless light from far away, with a different look from a different world
No matter where that is, I’m ready, take me to the place where you are
Uhohuhohoh Beautiful Stranger X3
Take me to the place where you are
** REPEAT

Review: F.T. Island's

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mZJnZD1UbA8

F.T. Island had released Severely on January 30th, 2012. As this is the title track to their Fourth Mini Album 'Grown-Up' released on the same day. The lead in this mini-drama happens to be non other than member Lee Hongki.
    "Member Lee Hongki plays the leading role as a lover who’s been given the precious gift of time. We’re introduced to Lee Hongki’s character at a funeral parlour, where he grieves over his girlfriend. He rushes out, only to bump into a girl who looks exactly like her…" via allkpop.com
The video starts out with Hongki in the funeral of his past girlfriend, as he runs outside, not able to take it anymore. He accidentally bumps into a girl who looks exactly like his past girlfriend, and assumes it was her. But, being weirded out as she just met Hongki, she pushes him away.
Overtime, Hongki watches over the girl in secret. He watches her during her ballet practices as he keeps the newspaper article of the car crash of his past girlfriend in his pocket. While watching over the girl, it seems that she was almost hit by a car, and Hongki had saved her. And from that point on, she and Hongki get to know each other more. Hongki keeps track of the days on his calender, as he grows closer to the girl, but he keeps a date in mind, the 24th. Hongki soon revisits the place where his past girlfriend must have gotten hit by the car, but during the flashback you see parts of where he gets hit. Now he is officially her boyfriend.

B1A4 is back with their Repackaged Album of Ignition! I wonder why Albums and Repackaged Albums are made so far apart, I mean I do have Ignition. Anyway, this is a very different music video in the sense of scenery. I didn't expect B1A4 to come back with a very crazy choreography and they didn't, but this video is very fun, happy, and very laughable -in the good way-

Review: Irresistible Lips

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTB_2OfZMrk
BTOB; Born To Beat. Recently this group released Insane, Father, and now Irresistible Lips
This video consist of the member, Minhyuk as the lead role of this story line. The story line goes as Minhyuk and his girlfriend were happy until she left, and he's missing her awfully. She also misses him back, and she's thinking about him on her wedding day, and you get the point. On her wedding day apparently everyone is wearing black..
This music video reminds me of DBSK's Why Did I Fall In Love With You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP4A468sNTU (Personally I like to call it Doushite because the name is very long) and Taeyang's Wedding Dress http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIt6KCwlFPw which both are very meaningful and sad and might bring you to tears. Irresistible Lips is a more cute and happy version in my opinion, which is very good for the fans.
Minhyuk, I believe, is a very good actor. He seems very passionate and into acting. That's really good for rookies. I also believe that he should star in dramas.
A/N: I really like it when Minhyuk kisses her, its so passionate and emotional that you don't see a lot these days. For example, she wasn't really kissing back.

The boys have finally arrived from EXOPlanet. I swear I love every single thing in this showcase. Except maybe how they did Chanyeol's hair, but it doesn't bother me that much. Unless he debuts with that hair. Anyway I absolutely love this concert. I think SM is really crazy with 23 teasers and a mini album, but I really enjoy the songs.
On a different notice, are you guys watching INFINITE'S 2ND INVASION EVOLUTION live on youtube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV6DXi7R7Q8&feature=g-all-lik&context=G23256a0FAAAAAAAAFAA

Brand New CUBE Entertainment boy group. BTOB. Or as I like to call them, BOB. (: This song is a ballad, which is quite interesting because I don't like ballads, but I like this song. Very good job BTOB for winning my heart. Oh by the way, the member, Minhyuk as abs. 6 pack. Just sayin' There's not a lot for me to say because I decided to listen to their songs and post this up. But I do like Imagine and Insane, their two debut songs. I think I like this ballad mostly because it reaches a strong high point.

Just a picture of LuHan from EXO-M and Seohyun from Snsd/Girl's Generation. I hope that all these picture teasers will only lead faster to their debut. I've honestly been staring at this picture too long. But Lu Han's jaw line. Omg. He's just too good looking. My EXO-M bias, you can't have him fangirls >:D
I'm rethinking what my friend asked me earlier today. The question was, Who has my overall EXO bias, and I took a pause and said Chanyeol. I think I saw this picture on purpose. I'm going to tell my friend that I changed my answer. Anyway, have I been too SM Biased? It's just that SM has been competing with YG a lot lately. Enjoy EXO, and all their beautiful glory.

Review: NU'EST's Face

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyXy0m-4bvE
A long awaited debut from NU'EST. Originally, I believed that this group was a long time group, only to turn out that this was their debut song. The members are Aron, JR, Ren, Minhyun, and Baekhoe I believe. I actually believed this group was four males and one female. I apologize Ren. It's funny how now he's my bias.
The video starts out with the members all sitting in chairs. As this type of video is half choreography and half storyline. It goes through on how a boy gets bullied and they're actually helping him. But in the lyrics it explains how you shouldn't stand up to them. As LoveKpopSubs8 subbed it on youtube. Hearing lines like "Hey what's up loser" I, myself is not sure on what the lyrics mean. Personally I believe its how bullies are pushing you to your fullest potential. They're only mean to help you pick yourself back up.
The choreography is quite unique. Through the music video you have punches being incorporated and in the choreography they still use punches and pushing only with a farther distance and light force. This choreography includes chair dancing too, but not a whole lot. I'd rather have a full choreography but the chairs are fine.
I think NU'EST has a lot of fans already, including me. I'm excited for their next new mini or formal album. I just hope they really keep up this style of upbeat music. I find that a lot of groups start to lose that party beat. I also really hope they come out with more significant songs, because those are always my favorite videos to watch. I'm also interested to see if they're going to change up their visuals, to see if Ren will stay like that or not. But I find him attractive now, reminding me of Kevin from U-Kiss. Anyway, keep your eye out for what NU'EST is going to release next.

To be honest I thought this group was 4 boys and 1 girl.. You guys know who. I guess after spazzing out on how Ren was a boy I started liking them more. Turns out I'm like their fangirl. Expect a review coming~

Twice the double Kpop! SHINee is back with their whole new album Sherlock. The music video will be released in a few days, so SM has decided to give us a teaser. What do you think of the Sherlock album? I enjoy it. And I'm so glad the boys haven't changed at all.

I guess in this case it's a Sprinkle of Cpop (:
This is Se Hun and Lay both from EXO. SM's 22nd teaser for both EXO-K and EXO-M. This version of Into Your World, I believe that is the song title, is actually the chinese version. Se Hun is from EXO-K while Lay is from EXO-M.
I don't know why but I think Lay has a diva look like how Sungjong from Infinite has a diva look.

Review: B1A4's Baby I'm Sorry


 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z37WOB7cf44
B1A4, surprisingly rising as a group. B1A4 debuted in 2011 in April with O.K. and came back with Beautiful Target, following up with My Love. Now they're back again to promote Baby I'm Sorry form their first formal album IGNITION. This group consists of 5 members, Jinyoung who is known for being their Leader, Lead Vocalist, and Lyricist. CNU who is known for bring a Lead Vocalist, and Lead Rapper. Sandeul who is their Main Vocalist. Baro who is known for being a Main Rapper, and Lyricist. And finally Gongchan who is known for being Vocalist, Visual, and their Maknae.
B1A4 has been known in the past for being a more flower boy group, but through this video it shows that the boys have charisma, and ready to take anything. With this video taking place in the same place BEAST filmed Shock the boys showed a more manly side of them.
The video opens out with the ecstatic beat of the song that BANA's have been waiting for, to reveal a quick glance of all the members and their visual change. Jinyoung with red hair, CNU looking more fancy, Sandeul looks the same really, Baro having a really cool haircut, and Gongchan going blonde. To formally start off the video Baro opens up with his rap to transition to Jinyoung and the rest of the members. Now there isn't really a storyline to the song but it does represent the members being with a girl. Obviously the same girl, because of Korea's law of 1 girl in a music video.
The one thing I don't approve of in this video is the use of Auto tune. Sandeul, Jinyoung, and Gongchan have beautiful voices, and no one wants to hear auto tune no matter how catchy it is. One week earlier, B1A4 had released a track titled Time Is Over, with their vocals and instrumental preparing everyone for the return of B1A4. But everyone was really expecting more vocals.
A lot of fans have been expecting more dancing more B1A4 rather than individual whimsy choreography. Although the video consists of fist pumping and background dancers, B1A4 has been trying to show a bit more choreography. Even though it's nothing compared to Infinite, 2PM, or Beast, it's still something. Whether or not B1A4 is a group lacking in dance, I do not know that.
In my mind I really enjoyed the video, but its all on your perspective. Now everyone enjoy the video and go out and buy their 1st Formal Album "IGNITION" because I guaranty that you would like it. I know I do, but maybe that's me being biased.

Review: B.A.P.'s Warrior

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tLooPlf2Sw

Many may of not heard of this rookie group, but they're known as Best, Absolute, Perfect, or B.A.P. The members are Bang Yong Guk (Leader), Dae Hyun, Young Jae, Jongup, Him Chan, and Zelo (Maknae). Bang Yong Guk and Zelo have already started to debut in 2011, with their project, Never Give Up. Bang Yong Guk has already had a popularity up, by doing a collaboration with Beast's Yoseob with I Remember.
B.A.P. had released their debut song on January 25, 2012.  And debuted on Music Bank, along with Music Core, and Inkigayo. On their January 29th performance of Inkigayo, a small mishap happened, where there was a whole scene when the members stomp there feet. Unfortunately the stage collapsed under leader Bang Yong Guk, but luckily there were two floors so he was not injured, and continued the performance as planned.
The video starts out explaining to up what B.A.P. stands for. And it also shows us the setting of the scene of the Music Video. The background music starts and the beat is something very energetic, something that you would put on for determination. This type of video was those types where they sing and do their choreography on a certain set. Although it may not have a big plot line, and be a mini drama, it is still quite an amazing video.
The choreography contains many military training moves, as the song is called Warrior. Most of the steps contained stomping, kneeling, falling to the ground, rolling, and the classing gun to the head move. Overall this group was very in sync.
The lyrics to this song happen to be based around war scenes. "The starting point of a new revolution
Stop me if you can" and "The endless war, who is it for? Everyone cowardly aims behind your head. Will you hypocrites be forgiven?" and much more.
This group already has a growing popularity rate, so look forward to more B.A.P. As I have high anticipated hopes for this group.
