K-pop Debuts 2011

My favourite K-pop debuts for the year 2011.

March 3rd, Song Ji Eun featuring Bang Yong Guk (Ji Eun's solo debut) - Going Crazy

Ji Eun's solo debut featuring Bang Yong Guk, who I personally love! First of all, the music video is amazing. So, TS Ent did an amazing job with the video and the concept they were going for. Personally, what I love so much about this song is the lyrics and knowing that Yong Guk wrote the rap himself, he earned a lot of plus points for that. When I then watch their live performances, it is just awesome. I mean, the chemistry, their voices together, their feelings, it was obvious how much they understood and know what the song meant. This song still remains as the Most Played song in my phone, so that will explain how much I love this song.

April 14th, Block B - Freeze

Block B consists of 7 members, namely Jaehyo, B-Bomb, U-Kwon, P.O, Zico, Kyung and Taeil. When I first saw them perform, I admire their passion. It was really sad though because they only perform the full song in Music Bank and that's it. They weren't given enough chance to showcase their selves. I personally think it was unfair considering how much potential they had shown. I mean, Zico and Kyung both produced / help produced their album. Their first single was really impressive, I especially love Wanna B. Sadly, They face tonnes of difficulty ever since their debuts, with the censorship issues, not being to perform as much as they could but still they worked hard and released two mini albums which I personally really like. If I could, I would recommend everyone to listen to Halo (First Mini Album) and 했어 안했어 (Second Mini Album)

October 25th, Most Incredible Busters (M.I.B) - G.D.M

Absolute favourite debut! M.I.B consists of 5zic, Kangnam, SIMS and Cream. Before they debuted with G.D.M, Each members released a solo. 5zic quickly caught my attention when Beautiful Day was released. I mean, just listen to that song and it's just too awesome for words then I continue watching SIMS, Cream and Kangnam and instantly I was hooked! However, I was quite disappointed when they decided to end their promotion with just G.D.M when there were tonnes of good songs in their albums. So, if you really want to check them out, you should listen to their albums instead of just this one song. I was so hooked with them that they are actually in my top 5 of Most Played artist. That is how good and awesome they are. Two of my favourites track from their album is Men Comin and 모두 다 뻔해. However I do suggest you listen to the whole album because if you don't, you are missing something. I mean, Who Am I is an amazing song especially when they performed it live. Who's Next is too awesome for words so is My Way! & With that I declare my most favourite debut of 2011 has to be Most Incredible Busters! Haha.

till then

guess who's back?

Double S, OH-GONG-IL, baby! :D I can say this is definitely one of my favourite comeback of the year. I mean, I don't even know where to begin. Did you know how much I love their Rebirth album? I liked every single song in that album so obviously I have a huge expectation for this comeback. I was excited for 501 day and had to keep my patience button on when they had to push back their dates, but, It IS WORTHED. :)

This was the second stage comeback and I still love it! Do you know why? I can list so many reasons why and one of the reason is it was an amazing performance. I also have to mention that I think through out two of the stage, they had this consistency that I just can not explain about. I don't have enough words to express how much I love this comeback. One of the things that I love about it is, the song, It's like back to the past, No auto-tunes, Awesome lyrics. I mean, you should read the translation, my favourite two lines is definitely;


너를 보면 아파, 숨이 너무 가파, 이젠 내손 잡아
그 사람은 너를 사랑하지않는데 왜?
(It hurts when I look at you, It's hard for me to breath, now hold my hand
He does not love you, so why?)

세상모두 적이된다해도 나는 안돼
(Even if the world becomes my enemy, I don't care.)


Plus, the presentation, all I could say was Wow. I know a lot of people sang this type of song but this one, is just, different. It has this different feeling. I don't know how to explain. It's like a song where you are hurting but you still care about the person and you don't really care how much that other person is hurting you cause you would risk everything for her. Haha. I totally love this song.

And I have to say, I so love this comeback stage better than their Love Like This days, cause I don't have to complain about the hair. :D Did you know the only thing that turned me off during LLT days was their hair, I kinda hated Kyu Jong and Hyung Joon hair those days but this time, everyone looks so good. And you can definitely rely on DSP to bring something different to the table. I like their outfits actually, Haha. Why? I'm not sure why but it's just different. Maybe because I've seen a lot of performance with suits lately and all I could say was "Nice colour, Nice cut." and it was pretty much the same. So yeah.

I have to also mention, I absolutely love the characters they hold for this comeback. Do you see the intensity? The serious-ness? The determination. Oh god. I'm running out of words. But I think they definitely improved. The only problem I had with their Music Bank comeback was the camera and microphones. I definitely did want them to at least tape the mics. And Mr. Camera man, you missed Kyu Jong's major line, you also missed Young Saeng's stare, you know. As for the second comeback stage, Mr Camera man, you missed Hyung Joon's rap but you manage to capture Kyu Jong during his line, so I'll forgive you this one time. :P Did you know how much I love Hyung Joon's rap, he improved so much. I love.


Anyway, back to the album. Oh my god. I didn't know I would love the album this much. I mean, it's not the most different and outstanding out there but the meaning and melody. Oh god. I love this boys. They did not disappoint. I love each and every song. And I have a personal bias for 영원토록. Yes, to me, it's awesome. My favourite part?


"영원토록 날 바라봐요
영원토록 날 안아줘요
영원토록 날 사랑해요
우리 행복하도록
영원토록 그대만 보며 (영원히)
행복하길 기도해"


I love. And Let Me Be The One is such an amazing proposal slash love song. Haha. It's so sweet. Especially the chorus. I actually go to sleep with this song on ever since their comeback so I think that would explains how much I love this song. I just think this album is such love. Thank you, SS501 for doing this. I love you boys, you brought that extreme fangirl in me again. Haha.

I'll leave you with:

till then

my very own fav.

I've been busy with games, plans and all sorts of things and I've been trying to push myself to blog out things but I just never had the time or motivation to blog. I wanted to blog but I just never really have any things to say. Right now, as you can read from my twitter post, I've been spending most of my time watching several videos and playing StarCraft. I've wanted to play since I don't know when. I think when I heard Kyu was crazy about it years ago.

I finally played the game when I watch the Progamer episode with Hyung Joon and that documentary on National Geo and when I knew my brother actually have the game already. I was taking mental notes a few weeks ago, telling myself to buy StarCraft but we actually have it and there's goes my time dedicating to StarCraft. My race is Zerg since I saw Hyung Joon playing it and I personally like Zerg. Haha. Personally, I like Zerg, I think their builds are easier to understand but hard to perfect.

And as you may predict I have my own favourite progamers and team. Looks up. Haha, I think they are just adorable. With the way they are sincerely helping Hyung Joon, giving him tips and sacrificing some of their practise time. They are awesome. I also like Bi-Su even though he doesn't talk much and there were several history between him and my current favourite team. I haven't seen Lee Jae Dong play so I can't say much. But I have to say Gyung Jong is my absolute favourite and he's a Zerg too so that's awesome. And he's awesome!

Alright enough of StarCraft. A few weeks ago I found out something new about myself. I actually have this thing call selective muting in myself. But not in a super serious way but I do find myself muting to several people. I can't bring myself to talk or communicate. But I think my problem is mainly not knowing how to socialise, how to be the first to open things up. I prefer if other people start talking to me first. I don't like being the first to strike up a conversation. I think I have to improve that and just try and deal with the problem.

I also recently found out how ignorant I am. I just realised how ignorant I am about people around me and things around me. Sometimes, I like it that way because I don't need to care about what's going on in other people's live but at some period of time it can be a negative thing when you act very ignorant and selfish. Being ignorant can also seem like you are being rude and just plain annoying. So, I try to be as open as possible and listen to other's opinion and says.

Whosh. Too many typing. Headache! :D
