Found out about this song by riding the subway and hanging out in stations. It is all over on TV and on a few ads that I have seen here in Korea. So after seeing about 50 times in one day of riding trains around in Seoul, I decided to look them up.
The song is alright, it just doesn't grab me and suck me into it. Maybe I need to listen to it a few more hundred times.

T-ara: Bo Peep Bo Peep
T-ara:
Bo Peep Bo Peep
I am not sure if I'm suppose to call this group Tiara or Tara or T-ara. I haven't heard alot of buzz around this song yet. Yes, Bo Peep is the name of the song. It's the song I love to hate. It's just toooooo catchy and I can not get it out of my head! But, the videos make me want to throw up....

-True, music videos are not blockbusters. But, this video is just bad. It looks like a group of high school girls designed the video...which maybe they did.

--This video....ugh. It is not as risque as the American vids. But, wow, is this group trying to do an Abracadabra moment?. . . You are not the Brown Eyed Girls.

Big Bang: Hallelujah

I found out about this song from a ball toss game with my students. I asked them, What is your favorite song? I kept getting the answer Hallelujah. I presumed they were talking about the Christmas song, because that is what a few people would sing after they gave the answer. So finally I asked one of my 6th graders, is there a new song Hallelujah? Yes, teacher!! Oh...duh....

The K-Pop Blogging Begins...
Since I have moved to Korea, I have really been sucked into the whole Korean Pop scene. Many of my friends have asked me about K-Pop songs and artists since I have jumped into the bubbly music scene. So I have created this blog for discussion, putting up video links and posting what I think about certain songs that are popular out there in the K-Pop world.
Let the journey begin!!
Let the journey begin!!

2PM: Heartbeat
2PM: Heartbeat
Live Performance:
Hello 2PM! This has to be one of my favorite groups in Korea. Every song that I have heard from 2PM has been a listening delight. This group really does have the whole package: catchy tunes, great choreagraphy, awesome packaging (please look at this album cover) and hot members!
I can not say enough good things about 2PM.
The Videos:
Official Video:
--English subtitles for the video
The video is pretty incredible, you can always count on 2PM to deliver with their music and videos. I'm not sure about the suit choice for the guys....what do you think?
Oh, and what about the beginning of the video with the red heart in his hand, pretty cool effect!
Live Performance:
--I cannot believe this intro with this ice. It is incredible! I really enjoy this song mostly based on this video, it really is an incredible performance. 2PM really knows how to package themselves well.
*As a sidenote...I have seen several of their other live performances of heartbeat, each one with a funky suit on the guys. What does a funky suit have to do with heartbeat? Maybe I'm not opening up my vision enough to the artistic side.
