2NE1 have some great songs if you get into them, but they never really did impress me with their MVs.

Aah! I'm going to Tokyo in August, and it seems as if there'll be an SMTOWN WORLD TOUR III held at Tokyo Dome the same day and the day after I arrive!
SuJu, SNSD, TVQX, BoA, SHINee and more will perform, yay! I'll certainly try to get tickets! Anyone else going?

I went to SMTOWN in Tokyo Dome last year. I only went for BoA tbh, too bad she's a flop nowadays

I still find it funny that CL has a parrot on her shoulder, that's just flapping it's wings half the time haha.

i like this song for the articles

**geniebsmart** · 2012-07-09, 04:56 PM

why did they collab with Akon? no one cares about him anymore since that gwen stefani song. but if JYP thinks Akon will give them the boost they need ok then..

The MV seems quite nice, must've cost a lot, can't say much about the song though, I think it's pretty generic crap.

Also WTF is this?

Wonder Party was crap as well imo. Wonder World was great though, G.N.O was my jam

Wonder party was decent. Boyfriend was great. Just disliked R.E.A.L. and Like This.

i'm tired of all these k-pop girlgroups tbh, it's time for queen Lee Hyori to make a comeback and show all these wannabe's how it's done

**Anakso** · 2012-07-13, 04:35 PM

I'm surprised your go to k-pop singer is Lee Hyori. Since Fin.K.L (never listened to Fin.K.L so no idea on a good song to link, picked one at random)
Though Lee Hyori's solo songs are pretty awesome. Love Chitty chitty bang bang.

Tired of girl groups? Why not boy groups

NU'ESTs new song.

LOL @ the guy with the hat in that clip, what the hell is that...

k/j-pop really is hit and miss for me, some songs I really like but I find most pretty bad. To me it feels like they focus too much on everything around it, their image, the music videos, the music itself is sort of an afterthought.

Korea does place a almost freakish amount of attention and importance on looks. It's a very outward appearance culture. Which can be both good and bad, really.

**JohnBrown1917** · 2012-07-14, 01:49 AM

I mostly listen to the Strike witches OST for my daily/weekly need of J-pop

As far as K-pop goes, I sometimes listen to SNSD

**Anakso** · 2012-07-14, 04:51 AM

I'm one of those that will watch a MV 50 times if it's good

Not counting things like T-ARAs new song though....to long!

But things like this I could just re-watch all day.

**Souma** · 2012-07-14, 03:41 PM

The MV linked above is alright, can't say I like the song though.

Can anyone suggest me some songs? It can be K-pop or J-pop that doesn't really matter. I listen to SNSD sometimes and I like that new song of 2NE1, but besides that I've got pretty much nothing. I generally prefer the female groups, but I'm open to any suggestions. I tried looking through some wikipedia lists that shows all/most of the korean groups but I didn't think there'd be this many.

It was flapping because it was losing it's balance as she kept jerking around, poor thing. :|
