Kpop: Uhm Jung Hwa (엄정화)

The 2nd image above and the two first below is from "Dreamer", the rest is from "Watch Me Now"

This being the year of comebacks in kpop, it's natural to see 47 year old Uhm Jung Hwa make a comeback too. She has been all over the korean wave of music, movies and media, and fits right into this. Her two videos are really two excellent and slightly dark examples on how to make a good come-back, "Watch me Now" being my favorite.

• Uhm Jung Hwa - Dreamer
• Uhm Jung Hwa - Watch Me Now

Kpop: History (히스토리)

Rookie group History debuts with song Dreamer supported by none other than Son Dam Bi acting the video, Sunny Hill's Misung writing the rap *and* IU as a narrator, which of course helps. The video and song then? Well...it does what it has to do to introduce the group, but maybe not much more. The jury is still out, until the next single, I would say.
update: Ok, the "jury" has seen three more singles, and after the newest, Psycho, I must say I think History has potential. Not the best but just below the top level.

• History ft IU - Dreamer
• History - Psycho (싸이코)
• History - What am I to you(난 너한테 뭐야)
• History - Tell Me Love (열대야)
