KARA ~ Step sounds so good!



Okay, so I know Kara is not really a household name in many parts of the world. People usually heard Wonder Girls, Girls' Generation but not Kara when it comes to Korean girl groups. But they are quite big in South Korea and they are very succesful in Japan too.

Consists of 5 members; Gyuri, Seung-yeon, Nicole, Goo Hara (which reminded me a lot of J-pop sensation Namie Amuro) and Jiyoung, I first came to know them with their song 'Honey' with soft and girly concept. But when they came out with 'Wanna' with more mature looks that I started to really like them. Then 'Mister', 'Lupin' and 'Jumping' came out, securing their place as one of the top girl group in South Korea.


But now with 'Step', I'm totally in love with them. The song 'Step' was made by the people behind the song 'Mister', so it's hardly anyone surprise that the song became so popular. It sound really good, a dance tune that will surely make you want to stand up and dance.

You can click here to see the awesome video to 'Step' at YouTube. Happy viewing!

The cool girls from f(x)

f(x) is a South Korean girl group. The five members of the group are Krystal, Victoria, Amber, Sulli and Luna. They first caught my attention when my cousin introduced me to their hit song Nu ABO. I love the song! I also searched for their previous released songs like La Cha Ta and Chu~. Both were pretty good. Then this year they released an album featuring hit songs like Pinocchio (Danger) and Hot Summer. Both songs are remakes of other people's songs I believe but it still doesn't change the fact that they are good songs. And they dance very well too. Kudos to them, I'm very impressed.

I believe fan of K-pop would already know them but if you're new to this genre, please search them up. You can easily find their music videos on YouTube. They are beautiful, talented and pretty cool. I still haven't found their album in my hometown but hopefully I will soon.

Hot music!

Here are some of the songs that I'm listening to (and crazy about) now. Just want to share it with the rest of the world.


Kylie Minogue - Get Outta My Way

This song is awesome! Another great song from Kylie Minogue. The video for the song is not as energetic as I would like it to be, but I love it so much anyway!



Ke$ha - Take It Off

So far, I like all of Ke$ha's songs, and this one definitely one of the best. I like the colour dust concept she used in her video for this song, it really makes it beautiful despite the raunchy lyrics she used in the song.



Travie McCoy - Need You

This is a song that I would never expect from Travie McCoy. It's more pop than anything that I'd heard from him before. Nevertheless, it's an addictive song, like so many other songs from him.



BoA - Hurricane Venus

She changed her style (again!) for her new Korean album. I love the song although I think it's not as good as her previous Korean singles. Still love BoA though.



Katy Perry - Teenage Dream

Oh my, Teenage Dream is a great pop song, I LOVE IT!!! I'm not really into her 1st single so this one was quite a surprise for me when I first listened to it.



Nelly - Just A Dream

Nelly is one of my favourite hip hop artist. I like his voice and this song is definitely one of his best (in my opinion at least).



2NE1 - Clap Your Hands

Yay, new song from K-pop girl group 2NE1!!! One of three promotional songs for their 1st full-length album, this song is catchy and hip, and my favourite from the three songs. The music video is awesome too. They are definitely the most stylish group from Korea, great job 2NE1!

Attack of the Korean girls

We have seen an emergence of a lot of girl groups from South Korea in the last few years. With catchy songs, sexy dance moves, cute faces, they have melt the hearts of not just music lovers in Korea but all across the globe. As the Korean Wave has strongly swept the Asian region and rapidly making its way beyond Asia, I present you my Top 3 favourite Korean girl groups that had catch my heart with their lovable music. Get ready for these hot girls.

3. Brown Eyed Girls

Also known as B.E.G., the group consists of four members and they are; Jea, Ga-in, Narsha and Miryo. Debuted in 2006, some of their hit songs are L.O.V.E and How Come. In 2009, they change their image into a more mature and provocative style with the release of their new album, Sound G. The single from that album, Abracadabra, became a huge success and also sparked some controversy regarding the music video.

Although Abracadabra had been such a huge hit on the web, my personal favourite single from them is How Come. My favourite music video from them is, of course, Abracadabra. With sexy swinging hip moves, what not to like about it. Their latest single, Sign, is also quite addictive to listen to. You can check out the links below for their music videos on YouTube;

How Come

2. 2NE1

Made up of members CL, Dara, Park Bom and Minzy, the group is more like the girl version of the Korean boy band Big Bang. Created by the same company, YG Entertainment, their debut single Fire was a huge success. Their 2nd single, I Don't Care, was also a big hit. After that, they focus on solo careers before joining back together to release a new single, Try to Follow Me.

Although they have not as many singles as some of the other groups (at least single released as a group, not solo efforts), but their up-beat songs and extraordinary fashion style really caught my attention. Just watch the music video for Try to Follow Me and you'll understand what I mean. CL is definitely my favourite member from the group...no, wait, she's my favourite from all the Korean girl groups that I've known. She's really stood out. You can check the links below for their awesome music videos on YouTube;

1. Wonder Girls

Currently consists of Sunye, Ye-eun, Sohee, Yubin and Hye-rim, Wonder Girls debuted in 2007 with their single, Irony from their mini-album. Then they released their full-length album, The Wonder Years that feature the hit single, Tell Me. It became so popular that the dance feature in the music video had been followed by fans all over the world. Their other notable hits are So Hot and Nobody. In 2009, they begin to venture into the American market by promoting the English version of the single Nobody. They also joined the Jonas Brothers in their North American leg tour.

Although I had listened to several other Korean female groups like Fin. KL and Baby V.O.X. before, Wonder Girls was the main reason I'm into K-pop right now, and that's also why they are on top of my list. Their infectious songs and dance moves really lightened up my day. And I think I had a crush on Sunye. Anyway, I had posted their music videos in my blog before, just click on the link below. I had also listed the links for the videos at YouTube;

Lee Hyori- Hey Mr Big

Lee Hyori is one of my favourite singer from Korea. She's beautiful, talented, and she's a fine dancer. Check out her video that I had posted below. It's called Hey Mr. Big from her 3rd album, It's Hyorish. Although I prefer the singles from her previous album (Get Ya, Shall We Dance) but I do find this song to be quite addictive. XD

So here's the video. I found it on YouTube. You can find more of her videos there. Enjoy!

So Hot? Totally!

It's time for Wonder Girls again! This is by far my favorite single from them. It's called So Hot (yeah, they're hot all right!).

I must confess, although I love them, but it's kinda hard to tell them apart. I recognize Yubin, the rapper, and Sohee, the girl in the limousin in the video. But the other 3 look kinda alike. I really like the girl with the bicycle, I think that's Sunye. If I'm not mistaken, she's like the main vocal in the group. I love her! The cheerleader I think is Ye-eun while the girl with a lot of presents is...er...I think it's Sunmi. Did I get that right? Is there any Wonder fan out there who can confirm this? Anyone? Eh?

There is one thing that disappoint me about them though, they forgot about their fans in Malaysia! I know there are a lot more fans out there that are from Malaysia, other than me of course. I mean, they have been to Thailand and Singapore to promote themselves but not Malaysia. Okay, okay, actually I don't really mind if they didn't come to Malaysia, it's hard for me to go to their concert or any promotional activities anyway, but I can't even find their albums here and that's frustrating. I don't know about other places in Malaysia, like Kuala Lumpur, but I definitely cannot find them here in Penang.

Okay, I will stop my complaining now. It's time to enjoy the Wonder hits. Here is Wonder Girls with So Hot. Enjoy!

I want Nobody but the Wonder Girls

Aaaahhhh... I'm feeling much better now. Thanx to Panadol, now I'm not sick anymore. Although my nose still feel a bit sore from all those scrubbing and squishing...eeuuww!

Anyway, let's get back to business. I've already posted a music video of Wonder Girls before called Tell Me. What a wonderful pop song, no wonder they are such a huge hit in Korea, and other part of the world of course. Here is their latest single called Nobody released back in September 2008. Nice song, even nicer music video, this girls just make me wanna dance! I want nobody nobody but you!

Wonderful Wonder Girls

Wonder Girls, the pop sensation from Korea. I'm so in love with them right now. I've heard about them for quite some time before but never bother to check them out. Why? Well, because I didn't know they are quite good. Wait, not quite but damn good! Their music are so addictive. Okay, I will just cut it short and let their music do all the talking. This is one of their single, Tell Me. Quite funny video. Enjoy!
