Glorious Photoshoots - August

I realize now that this post is kind of late, again, but as you've noticed with my sudden lack of posting I've been incredibly busy now that school has started again. I'm currently attending my first year in university and my schedule has been packed from morning to evening basically every day since it started, so that's the reason for my absence. It will probably continue in that matter for a couple of more weeks, so please be understanding and anticipate my eventual comeback!

Anyhow, starting this post off is two of my favorite Got7 boys, Youngjae and Jinyoung, for Sure.

Oh My Girl's Seunghee - Cheer Up (Twice Cover)



On JTBC's new program "Girl Spirit", in which lesser known girl groups vocalists get to perform and compete for a chance to release a single, has so far produced some pretty impressive performance. One of my favorite contenders is Oh My Girl's Seunghee, who already during the first episode did a brilliant cover of SHINee's "Dream Girl", and her recent cover of Twice's "Cheer Up" is nothing less but fantastic. I've had this on repeat like a maniac and I think I might even like it better than the original. The arrangement is great, the vocals are on point and her stage presence and charisma is oozing.

I.O.I Levels Up With "Whatta Man"

Following the debut of project group I.O.I earlier this year comes now the group's first sub-unit. Originally being composed of 11 members this one features only seven (Chungha, Nayoung, Pinky, Doyeon, Somi, Sohye and Yoojung), as four of them (Chaeyeon, Sejeong, Yeonjung and Mina) have been called back by their respective companies to promote in different groups. I wrote about I.O.I and their debut "Dream Girls" when it came out and although I thought it was decent I definitely knew they could do much better, both with the song, concept and video. For this comeback I'm pleased to announce that they have done so much better, and it makes me want to forget that "Dream Girls" even happened and pretend "Whatta Man" is their actual debut.

Goosebumps. That's all I have to say.

GFriend Kills It Once Again With "Navillera" And First Full Length Album "LOL"

Another GFriend comeback, another chart and music show domination period. What else is to be expected from this incredibly successful six-piece? Personally I still have a hard time understanding that this is only their second year because it feels quite difficult to remember what it was like before this group existed. As I'm writing this GFriend just had their 14th win with title track "Navillera" and "Rough" is still in the top 50 on Melon after seven months since its release, breaking the previously set record by Girls' Generation and "Gee". If that doesn't speak of how huge their success is then I don't know what does. As you know I love these girls so much so naturally this review of their new album "LOL" is written from a biased point of view, but I don't think anyone can deny that this comeback is, just like all of their previous ones, a continuation of their ever-growing brilliance.
