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 ]

2NE1: To Anyone

I think many people was watching 2NE1’s comeback this year carefully. After a successful debut in May last year, they were viewed with high standards. Some K-pop fans even commented they don’t look or feel like newbies at all. As a Blackjack, I was also psyched to know they were coming back this year and [ READ MORE ]

SS501: Destination

Right, I was going to review Destination last week. I procrastinated because I have a report due on Tuesday and I had no confidence of doing it well. But I finished, and so here is the review as promised. SS501 is back with similar, yet at the same time, different mini album. I wonder what [ READ MORE ]

Super Junior: Bonamana

I admit bursting into laughter when I watched the music video. It wasn’t so much of the song, but rather the dance. Quote one ELF in my Twitter list, it is so Bollywood. After listening to the entire song, there was only one thing I wanted to tweet about. That was how awesome the song [ READ MORE ]

OST: Personal Taste

It all started with watching the drama. I wasn’t keen at first. My friend insisted it was interesting, so I tried the show. Turns out, it wasn’t as bad as I thought. Then again, I didn’t have any thoughts about it at first. Personal Taste starred Lee Minho of Boys Over Flowers fame and Son [ READ MORE ]

Always keep the faith

I never did reviews on ‘live’ concert albums because I don’t see a need to. People perform the same songs. They probably sound a little worse than the CD version because of various reasons – dancing, excitement … you get my point. TVXQ alone, I have 236 songs in my iTunes and that excludes some [ READ MORE ]

SNSD: Run Devil Run

Now before anyone gets all religious on me, pun intended. A week ago, I reviewed SNSD’s Oh!. I remembered saying Run Devil Run would be a good song to review too, amidst the pre-recorded Ke$ha, official song belongs to SNSD thingy. Well, I don’t care, honestly. I like the song. I admit. Why I decide [ READ MORE ]
