Wang Leehom: Open Fire

I’m not a huge Leehom fan, but I used to have a friend who is a huge fan of Leehom and she was the one who introduced me to him, I think, a decade ago (Oops. Did I unintentionally reveal my age? Haha.) The first song I heard was 公轉自轉 (Revolution), I think. Throughout the [ READ MORE ]

Rookie face-off: X-5 vs B1A4

The last time I did a face-off article, it was in 2009 when MBLAQ and Beast debuted. At that time, I chose Beast over MBLAQ even after Round 2. The article was written after their debut performances. Right, a little introduction of each group first. B1A4 is made up of five young men — Jinyoung, [ READ MORE ]

Big Bang: Tonight

After a two-year hiatus, Big Bang comes back with a bang — literally, if you caught a couple of guitar-smashing routine GD did for performances of Tonight. I had been complaining, really, about the guitar-smashing. Not exactly my favourite part, you see. If he did it only on the hour-long Big Bang Show, that I [ READ MORE ]

Park Jungmin: Not Alone

Arguably one of the best singers in SS501, Park Jungmin also became the first member to release his solo album after the group went their separate ways last year. Note: SS501 did not disband. One-fifth of the boy band, Jungmin said in an interview previously that he was not stressed when it comes to being [ READ MORE ]

30 favourite tunes from Big Bang

People who recently start reading my blog probably wouldn’t know that I didn’t even listen to Big Bang until their Haru Haru period. I literally fell in love with the Daesung performing on stage; then, I fell for the comedic Daesung in Family Outing. Either how, I’ve come to appreciate Big Bang’s music. I’m a [ READ MORE ]

Super Junior – M: Perfection

If not for better songs in the album, I was seriously considering not reviewing it. I’ve reviewed Super Junior-M since their debut. I watched them mature and grow throughout these few years. In 2008, I reviewed Me (迷), which left me wowed. Then, I questioned if Chinese and Taiwanese boy bands alike were ready for [ READ MORE ]

Derrick Hoh: Change

“Not having a distinguishing feature is my distinguishing feature (沒有特色就是我的特色),” declared Derrick Hoh. That was two years ago when I first interviewed him in Taiwan. I was still a journalism student at Chinese Culture University (中國文化大學) then. He was my school assignment. If any Derrick fans remember, Derrick sang on the streets of Taipei when [ READ MORE ]

Fahrenheit: So Hot

I have a love-hate relationship with Fahrenheit. While I always enjoy watching dramas which they star in, I don’t always enjoy their album and on most occasions, I don’t like their ‘live’ performances. That said, I must reiterate my previous statement now. These boys (men, if you’d like) improved by a huge margin. I would [ READ MORE ]

Rynn Lim: Dearest Bride

Rynn 林宇中 is a Malaysian singer under Ocean Butterflies, which makes him one of JJ Lin’s junior. I’ve always loved his voice, his songs, his lyrics. The simplicity in his melodies is like fresh air in this pop music industry where there is so much mixing, so much synthesizing. As for his lyrics, they are [ READ MORE ]
