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.

Mamamoo Hwasa's sexual performance?

Pann : Mamamoo Hwasa, isn't this too much? 1. [+140, -5] It looks more sexual because she has a good body. It was Mamamoo's concert and it was +15. 2. [+95, -15] This is why they say women's enemy is women. You call it sexy when male idols rip their clothes off and do pelvic dances but it's a problem when a female idol does it? It only looks sexy and pretty. 3. [+85, -1] It would be considered too much if this was done on broadcast but it was a +15 concert. It's fine. 4. [+35, -0] It's still better than female idols' lolita appeal nowadays 5. [+26, -0] It looks more like that because the dress color is nude. And like in foreign countries, adult sexiness is better than short school uniforms and lolita. 6. [+23, -0] You never bought an album and yet you're complaining about this and that 7. [+22, -1] It's a concert anyways. Other male idols wear more sexual clothes. 8. [+21, -26] It looks a bit off...

Conspiracy on Conspiracy (in) K-Pop 1: Illuminati are everywhere! Part 1

Everyone likes good conspiracy theories. Some like to laugh at them while others take them seriously. To fill this niche in k-pop blogging, I bring you a new series called Conspiracy on Conspiracy (in) K-Pop -- in short, COCK. Let’s start with the well-known organizations: Illuminati, Free Masons and New World Order. Everyone knows at least one theory built around these key words, it is so popular that in Poland there’s even a saying that behind every tragedy/fraud/you name it, there is a “Jewish-Mason-Cyclist Sect”. Apparently in Korea this is also kind of common (it doesn’t surprise me that much since every country with high percentage of Protestants is “obsessed” with it). So how much Illuminati brainwashing is in K-Pop really? Let’s find out! Here are some basic Illuminati symbols: Pyramids: 2NE1 - I Am The Best Triangles: TVXQ - Triangle All-seeing-eye: miss A - Bad Girl Good Girl Checkered patterns: T.O.P - Turn it Up Black&White ( G.NA must be very zealous believer): Super ...
