BoA's Top 15 Korean Songs - #12 - The Shadow



If "Moto" was showcasing BoA's abs, "The Shadow" is all about BoA's cleavage, and if that isn't enough reason to watch one of BoA's MVs, well, it sucks to be you.




I love the MV for this song, and BoA's brother has always done a great job with the MVs since BoA came back to Korea. The MV starts out with BoA in the white dress looking like a queen. The tree above the clouds represents the fact that no one is within BoA's league. Then the rest of the MV showcases BoA dancing among mortals while showing off how hot she is. Maybe the songs true meaning is that everyone else will be stuck in BoA's shadow. Yeah, I understand the lyrics, but if other K-pop fans are allowed to make shit up about MVs and songs, so can I!

"The Shadow" definitely reminds me of her older songs with a more modern sound. The beat isn't that fast for a pop song, sounding like it could be a mid-tempo song by today's standards. What helps this song is the strong bass line, otherwise this song could have been pretty forgettable. The rest of the instrumental is drowned out by the bass. However, the bass helps keep the verses entertaining enough to listen to until we get to the chorus, which is pretty good.

Overall, "The Shadow" is a very good song, and it was a great idea for BoA to promote it along with "Only One," as the songs have contrasting styles.

Sandara Park, 'A member of a girl group laughed at my Super Saiyan hairstyle'

  Sandara Park names her Super Saiyan hairstyle during I'm The Best promotion as the most memorable hairstyle she ever had. She says, 'I'm always confidence with any hairstyle I have. However, when I did that hairstyle, I couldn't even get off from the car'  She continues, 'I stepped into the broadcasting station and a member of a girl group laughed at me. But the boy groups told me I looked cool. Our comeback overlapped with 2PM's, I did an interview with Ok Taecyeon and we compared our hair to each other' theqoo -How could anyone hold their laughter when they see that hairstyle...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ -From Sandara Park's point of view, it might look like that certain girl group's member was making fun of her. But from that female idol's point of view, she probably tried her best to hold in her laughter. Anyways, it's very understandable so let's not make a big deal out of it.  -Are you sure she was the only one who laughed? The whole nation laughed

Who can possibly keep up with the amount of big boobs in k-pop?  Kpopalypse, that's who!  Read on as Kpopalypse brings you the joys of objectification and superficial fetishism once again! Actually to be completely honest, I have trouble keeping up with new groups much the same as anybody, especially as I don't tend to pay much attention to the individuals in very new groups, so that's where the help of trusty caonimas came in.  I asked readers in a recent survey to nominate entrants for this list, and received several hundred responses which I will now distill in the following post.  Thanks to all those of you who helped me out here - but note that most of you picked girls who had in fact already been covered in previous episodes of this series, so make sure you visit the following links to double-check the trufax
