Kpop: B2st ft A Pink - Oh my baby




Must be coincidence that Eun Ji happens to get into three pics here..

A promotional video for a clothing brand (Skoolook 스쿨룩스), Oh my baby, sees B2st and A Pink collaborate in a futuristic video that is quite nice.Again I feel quite envious of this kind of kpop ads.Why cant we have this instead of the usual dreary ad-breaks we have in Sweden?

  • B2st ft A Pink - Oh my baby (5! My baby is an alternative spelling since 5 is pronounced "oh")

Kpop: LEDApple (레드애플)







LEDApple has established a distinct theme of hitech and human/cyborg interaction in their music videos.

Kpop: Ailee (에일리)





Behind her Korean stage name Ailee hides the name Amy Lee who is an Korean-American who grew up in New Jersey, but who at 21 years of age moved to Korea to pursue her music career. Her 2012 hit "I will show you" has pushed her towards kpop fame. A rather clichèd affair, and I wonder why she in the end should/would chose the same guy that rejected her earlier on.

Kpop: Mr Mr (미스터미스터)






After debuting last year with "Who's that girl", rookie group Mr Mr now follows up with "Highway". The first single was a rather soft and sensual affair, well produced and comes really recommended. "Highway" continues in this mold, but with a darker tone and a storyline that is like a classic Korean drama. Comes recommended.


Kpop: JYJ










Three man band JYJ members have a history in TVXQ, and have solo careers too (even though Yoochun's may be more into acting than music). Latest video is JaeJoong's "Mine", which has quite a supernatural theme.

Kpop: Nine Muses (나인뮤지스)







The promotions before 9Muses latest single pushed much on the fact that they would have "dark" and "light" muses. Being a fan of dramatic scenes and evil vs good, I cant say I see much of that since they all take on both colors, so lets just enjoy the music and video.
The props kpop video stylist's use are often as fun as the clothes...

Kpop(rock?): UV (from 유브이)





Tvo-man group UV has released the hilarous kpop-rock-parody-video Girl You Wanna Stay . Not to miss. They also did the retro-feel Itaewon Freedom with JYP if you remember.

Kpop: Tiny-G (타이니지)




The four girl group Tiny-G got quite a lot of coverage last year when they debuted with Polaris, not because of the song (which was fine), but because they all are quite short even by Korean standards and thereby doesn't follow the normal kpop and Korean beauty ideal. You could sat their looks was simply "normal", but they combined that with lots of attitude. With the new video though, they go all cute looksey and I'm not sure what to make of it, as it changes the image quite much.
update: and I was right in my opinion, as their latest "Miss You" feels much better.
