Song of the Week #17

Kim Sunggyu - Only Tears 

Yes I know that this is technically an Infinite song and I do really like the group version, but Sunggyu's stripped down, emotional rendition just breaks my heart. In the best possible way, of course. This shows just how much Sunggyu belongs on the stage and also how much he enjoys it, and it's wonderful to see.

Eye Candy Saturday - Hyuna

It's that time of the week again! I almost forgot about it but fortunately I remembered just in the right time. For this week's edition, I'll be sharing my favorite pictures of none other than 4Minute's dancer, visual and Pikachu impersonator Hyuna. I think she's just about the sweetest, cutest girl ever and yet she's constantly under very harsh, uncalled for criticism about her appearance and performances. I can promise you that if those people were to meet her in real life, they would come around straight away.

Defeat the Heat With Kpop's Best Summer Jams!

I am currently on my much needed summer break and has been since Tuesday, so I thought it might be appropriate to make a nice little post about some of my favorite summer songs. There are endless amounts of summer inspired songs that make you all happy and cheerful and gets you in the mood for dancing all night long, but these are just some of my favorites that I could think of from the top of my head!

The Best Concepts of Your (My) Favorite Groups

To help ease the Kpop-fan experience, it would sometimes seem appropriate to divide comebacks and releases into eras. This does not only occur within the Kpop universe, but really in any kind of musical context. Other bands that I listen to and follow have also had their specific era that usually involve a period of time in which some kind of promotion was taken place. It makes things easier you know, when you have something to refer back to if you would wish to do so. With each era and each promotion, there's usually a planned out concept that follows. Concepts can both lift or sink a comeback, depending on how well they are executed and how they fit the song. Down below you can read about some of my absolute favorite concepts from some of my favorite groups, enjoy!

Rate the Look - VIXX' "Eternity"

Our own supernatural idols VIXX have returned to the scene after 6 months (wow, it really that long since Voodoo Doll?) with another out-of-this-world concept, a genre they've mastered and made their own by now. VIXX pretty much always looks amazing, but has really found themselves a trademark style since On and On back in early 2013, consisting of mostly fitted clothes and suits which can never go wrong in my opinion.
