AOA Starts Off The Summer Comebacks With "Good Luck"



It feels like AOA might be the next girl group to add "summer comebacks" to their yearly repertoire, just like Sistar who have almost made it their trademark image at this point. It's not too surprising though since "Heart Attack" was insanely popular last summer when it came out, and now when thinking about it I can't believe it's been almost a year already. I remember it coming out like it was only a few months ago. Anyhow this time around it seemed like AOA was going for a Baywatch-inspired beach concept with all the gorgeous, summery teaser photos as well as the teaser video that revealed an 80's sounding pop track. Their main promotional track "Good Luck" is however a completely different sounding song, and the video isn't really much Baywatch either.

Video of the Week #21

Kim Sunggyu - 41 Days (Live in concert)



I don't know if you all know this but this song of off Sunggyu's debut album "Another Me" was one of my most played tracks of 2012, and is one of my favorite K-pop songs ever. Thus I was shocked to find out that he performed it live on Infinite's 2013 tour "One Great Step" and I didn't know about until my friend showed me only a few weeks ago. It's fair to say I've been listening to this live version probably more than what's considered healthy and this awesome live arrangement has reignited my love for this song.

South Korea's New National Girl Group I.O.I Makes Their Official Debut With "Dream Girls"



I cannot even tell you just how huge this newly formed girl group is in Korea right now. Hailing from the hyped Mnet competition show "Produce 101" the eleven members of I.O.I were voted by the public and are now temporarily together to promote as one group until they eventually disband and go back to their respective agencies. It's a pretty crazy concept and that's how I felt about the show when it was still airing as well, which is why I didn't watch it, but there's really no way of escaping this group right now. When I was in Korea the "Produce 101" popularity was intense and all of the members of the group have a huge amount of fans which means that I.O.I are debuting onto the scene whilst already being really well known by the public.

BTS And HYYH Come To And End With "Fire", "Young Forever" and "Save Me"



I can't believe the journey is coming to an end, because with the release of this special album BTS will be wrapping up their "The Most Beautiful Moment In Life" series. It has been almost exactly a year since the first part came out and the boys released "I Need U" which definitely changed my opinion of them for the better and turned me from a normal fan to a pretty hardcore fan. When the second part came out I understood even more clearly that what BTS had going on here was something special and beyond the ordinary, and it seemed like more people were agreeing with me because this group has gained a massive amount of new fans and public recognition only this past year. Now they are closing the circle with the release of "Young Forever", which includes not only the previously released songs but completely new ones as well as several remixes.
