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.

Pump up the pearly volume - big boobs in k-pop guide part 4

The post that k-pop's tits perverts have waited patiently for all year is finally here, it's the return of the Kpopalypse big boobs guide! 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 ...

Rookie groups these days have no impact?

Pann : Rookie groups these days have no impact? 1. [+97, -3] On music shows, male idols rap like they're the coolest rappers in the world ㅋㅋ It looks cringe-worthy and old-fashioned... None of them has outstanding visuals, either. I don't know why I should stan them. 2. [+95, -2] Some rookie boy groups' title track names are about how they're so cool and how they're going to seduce all girls. I naturally avoid them. 3. [+86, -5] It was excellent in 2008 ~ 2013 4. [+39, -0] I think the idol market has died. Hitting daebak as a new group seems too hard. The biggest problem is that there are way too many idols. 5. [+39, -0] Agreed. On music shows, I see a lot of new groups but none of them catches my eye. 6. [+35, -1] Honestly, there are so many rookie groups but they don't have unique colors... They're too similar. They also tend to copy other popular groups... There was a group that became controversial because they were a complete copycat of VIXX. 7. [+35, -...
