30 days of kpop
Day 8: A kpop-song you know all the words to.
I couldn't pick just one. But I have two that I'm pretty sure I'm saying the right words when I sing along! (I can never be a 100% sure though.)
No Other - Super Junior
Oh - SNSD/Girl's Generation

Day 7: Bolero - DBSK
30 days of kpop
Day 7: A kpop-song that makes you cry.
I know it's a japanese song. But it's a korean group so I'm going to consider this a kpop-song.
Bolero by Dong Bang Shin Ki (or maybe Tohoshinki since it's japanese I guess...). It makes my cry every single time. It's so bitterly beautiful, if that makes sence.
Always keep the faith.

I am the best - 2NE1
I. Love. 2NE1.
Seriously, this is their best song so far. According to me anyway.
I like 2NE1. I like their style and their attitude, but for some reason I've never quite gotten to the stage where I love them. I've liked their songs, but not loved. Until this one. Really, I am the best has quickly become one of my favourite kpop-song (although I have a lot of favouritesongs)!
This song and this video is a total win for 2NE1!

I keep saying I'm going to update soon, and then I don't. So this time I'm going to be realistic: I don't know when I'll update the next time, maybe tomorrow, maybe in a month. Time will tell!
Anyway, today I'm going to talk about Hyuna. She recently released this video:
The song is everything it needs to be, it's addictiong and fun and impossible to get out of your head. The video is also everything it needs to be, fun and sexy.
It pisses me off when girls are accused of being too sexy or slutty or whatever you wanna call it. Especially when you know that the people accusing the "slutty" girls are the same people who drools over boybands all day long, just hoping for them to take off their shirts. Sex sells, for both boys and girls. The celebrities making sexy videos are just doing what they have to do in order to make it in the music industry. Both boys and girls do it, but people complain way more when it's about the girls.
I don't like the fact that you have to take off your clothes to get recognition. Especially considering most kpop-idols are very talented, and should be able to make it just from showing off their huge talent. Take Hyuna for example, she's a very good live-performer, and a good dancer. But she still needs to be sexy to make anyone remember her. As I said, it's a shame that she has to take off her clothes, but can she really be accused for it? She's giving the people what they want, and still people are complaining.
I don't think being sexy is a crime. If you want to wear revealing clothes you should be able to do so, and noone should look down on you or take you less seriously for that. I don't think Hyuna is wearing to revealing clothes in this video, she can wear whatever she wants, she should still be recognized as a talented singer and dancer, not some kind of object.
I think this a big problem in todays society. Girls have a hard time being taken seriously, it seems like whatever a girl does, it's wrong. Don't be fat, but don't be too skinny either. Wear makeup, but not too much. Don't be ugly, but don't be too sexy either.
Boys make sexy videos all the time, but they are still recognized as musicians, not objects. Take Mirotic - DBSK for example. That is a very sexy video with a very sexy dance. DBSK made lots of performances of that song, showing a lot of skin and the fans loved it! But DBSK are still recognized as amazing singers and dancers. They are still being taken seriously, getting acting opportunities, musicals, and directing. Jaejoong as a director is serious. Imagine if Hyuna wanted to direct a concert, would people believe in her, or would they laugh at her? Is she less capable of directing because she's a sexy girl? (I know that Hyuna hasn't been in the industry nearly as long as DBSK, so comparing them is a bit odd, but it's a very good and obvious example for those who never has thought about this before.)
I love Hyuna. She's talented. This is a fun song. That's all.

B2ST - fiction
Wow... I really haven't updated for an entire month! But summer is coming up and with lazy mornings I should be able to update a little more!
My favorite song during this past month has definitely been this one:
I like Beast (or B2ST which is how I guess you're supposed to spell it). I don't love them, but I completely understand why some people do. I love a few of their songs, and I like a lot of them. I enjoy seeing them perform live, because they are really talented. So there you have it, I completely see the greatness of Beast, but they're still not really my thing. To all Beast-fans out there: Your group is amazing!
I'm trying to keep up with everything that's happening with TVXQ and JYJ, although I really don't have the time. I'm looking forward to Yoochuns new drama. I haven't really read much about it, but I trust Yoochun enough to believe he wouldn't star in a drama that wasn't good.
It seems to me, that maybe the situation is getting just a little bit brighter everyday. Just a little, so little that you almost don't notice it, but it's still getting better! I'm still hoping to see TVXQ as five again. Some day, even if it is years from now, I think it will happen!
Always keep the faith <3
