Round-Up Reviews: Ladies' Code, BAP, SHINee, Up10tion, Hyoyeon


Finals week start tomorrow and I don't have time to give each their own individual reviews since I'm preparing for finals. So I'm just going to wind up some thoughts on the releases in one post.


Ladies' Code - "The Rain"


Not as good as "Galaxy" but still pretty decent. What really shines here is the music video. To come to think of it, Ladies' Code are one of those groups that release consistently great music videos.

BAP - "Skydive"


Excellent song and video. Album is also pretty good. BAP had a good year and this is a great way to end it. Also Youngjae officially took over as my BAP bias.

SHINee - "Tell Me What To Do"


Believe it or not, "1of1" really grew on me. I feel the same thing happening to me with this one as well. My only complaint is that the verses are just a bit too bare and the chorus could be better but it's far from SHINee's worst.

Up10tion - "White Knight"


Pretty good like most of their releases. Still not as amazing as "Attention" though.

Hyoyeon - "Mystery"


Had this had a little bit more UMPH this could have easily made my top 10 of the year. This reminds me of a BoA b-side from possibly her Copy & Paste days which makes it A-okay with me as it is. The video is also great.

Seventeen - "BOOMBOOM"


Seventeen are enjoyable as always. Pledis keeps trying to make us forget "PrettyU" ever happened and it's kind of working.

So yeah those are the reviews. Any reviews that happen next will just be end of the year list (I'm doing a b-side favorite and regular favorites list like last year) however they won't come into later on in the month. I'll try to post semi-regularly until then, but for now it's finals week and packing for home for Winter break, so no real articles unless I get some time on my hands.

Seventeen Vernon's visual

When Vernon was in elementary school: Present: Pann : Is this when Seventeen Vernon was in elementary school? 1. [+65, -16] He really looks like Dicaprio, fuck. He's the handsomest idol I've seen so far. A Western visual does wonders... 2. [+44, -2] He's mixed but he's more comfortable with Korean because he's been living in Korea since he was young 3. [+33, -2] <3 4. [+24, -1] I've lived in the US and his visual is also considered very handsome among Americans. I'm about to become his fan ㅋㅋ 5. [+24, -1] He's honestly a top idol visual. He raps and his voice is really good, too. 6. [+21, -1] The more I see him, the more he looks like a foreign actor 7. [+20, -0] He's still in grade 11. He'll get handsomer in the future. He looks like Leo. 8. [+18, -0] Be his fan 9. [+17, -0] His visual is too good to be an idol... So handsome 10. [+17, -0] He reminds me of Leo's legendary days. He's so handsome.

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 ...
