We meet again EXO.

I’ve said in various posts how I feel about EXO, particularly on K, and how I was a bit disappointed with their mini last year. But I think they may just redeemed themselves because…Baby Don’t Cry and My Lady are …

Infinite never fails me.

In their videos that is. Sungjong is too adorable.

Infiniiiite~

I’m glad to hear Infinite made a comeback because I was missing my princes. I’ve heard snippets of their album and I can’t say I’m impressed yet but I’m hoping with a full listen I shall be.

Welcome To Our Dream

Hmmm. Well I get a fairy tale vibe from the intro, hence probably why the title is named appropriately.

Man In Love

And I get to the title track. I can’t say I love it, but I do like it. It’s just a different sound than what I’m used to, but that’s fine because it’s great for groups to try to experiment with different sounds.

-

As Good As It Gets

Right of the bat I got a OST vibe from the track, which isn’t bad at all. I typically end up loving OST songs. It gives a warm and upbeat feeling, I definitely like that about the song.

-

Still I Miss You

My Sungjong sounded so good in this track, I usually can never hear his voice. But a pretty average track here.

-

Beautiful

I know I always say how much I love slow ballad-like songs but the tempo to this song is a little too slow for me.

-

60 Seconds

I loved when Sunggyu sung this song on his album and honestly I went into the rendition with all of Infinite thinking it can’t be that great. But I love it just as much. Woohyun sounds especially good in this song. It fits him quite well. I would actually love to hear Sunggyu and Woohyun sing 60 Seconds as a duet.

Inconvienent Truth

Quite the blah track in my opinion.

-

I think their album was appropriately named, A New Challenge, because there were some new sounds in the album that perhaps die hard fans aren’t quite used to. But all in all I do think it was a good album, not a great album. By fair my favorite track was the rendition of 60 Seconds. But I must say that Sunggyu sounded amazing in all the tracks.

I couldn’t stop smiling.

It was just something about the music video that kept a smile on my face.

Where did you come from?

As for groups falling off the face of the planet, Heo Young Saeng joined along as well. I literally forget all about him, and he was my favorite (well next to Park Jung Min) in SS501. I think what the problem is that SS501 is becoming pretty much irrelevant and obsolete in the kpop world. It’s sadly becoming a fact of the matter. Perhaps after they complete their military duties they’ll return as a group but I’m not so sure. I’m not getting my hopes up. But back to HYS, he released an album a couple of days ago but I doubt I’ll go listen to it.

My loves return.

I’ve been missing Infinite, they’ve been gone too long in my mind.

Too cute love.

I didn’t get  a vibe from this one which is such a shame because DongWoo is one of my favorites.

Cute, but not as cute as my Sungjong.

I will definitely be awaiting the rest. From the sounds of the teasers, which don’t typically tell the whole story, it sounds like a cute fluffy song. That’s not bad but I want like angsty song, still a ballad of course though.

Why hello again Double A.

I thought MYNAME fell off the face of the planet but Double A fell out of the universe. This song and video…uhm. I really have no words for it. Not in a positive way either.

I guess this is an improvement U-KISS.

Honestly, the last few singles U-KISS have dropped have been like crap to me. I was on board with Neverland and then I jumped right off with their single after that. I guess this single is better, I honestly think I’m just losing interest in U-KISS. I no longer feel the need to comment of fashion choice or hairstyle choice because the epidemic never ends.

This Week In Kpop: 1.28-2.1

I actually feel like a stranger posting on this blog. I think it’s been about a week or two since I’ve posted but it honestly feels like it’s been a month or two. I took my SATs for the first time last weekend so that kept me busy for a few weeks while I studied. At the moment I’m not drowning in homework, well let me not speak too soon. I guess I’ll have to start setting some blogging goals again. I just finished School 2013 so I’ll post a review to that sometime this week.

• Seo In Guk’s video teaser for “I Can’t Live Because of You”: I’ve fallen for Seo In Guk quite hard after watching Reply 1997. I actually didn’t even know he was originally a singer till I heard him singing with Eunji. I need to do some backtracking on him.

• Ailee releases “Ice Flower” MV for “Queen of Ambition” OST: Usually whatever Ailee puts out sounds amazing (ah not including her lastest comeback single) and this is no exception. The girl just has some crazy power in her voice.
  

• DMTN releases “Safety Zone”:I’m not exactly a fan of DMNT, I’m really just a fan of Jeesu’s voice. There are a couple of tracks I like by them but this song isn’t BAM enough for me.

• INFINITE H releases “Without You” video: I love these two together so much, they need to release stuff together more often.

• BOA releases “Disturbance”: I was unaware that BoA was releasing this song, I found out about it when I was watching the Top 50 of the week and I kept thinking to myself, “This guy looks so familar…..is that Kai/Taemin?” Turns out it was Taemin. Quite the change of image if you ask me, he looks quite masculine here. I mean he looks so grown in the video, I can’t call him cute anymore. I assure you, I am not spazzing over Taemin. I never really noticed before but BoA’s voice is nasally, and it’s almost unbearable in this song. The acting was alright, Taemin needs  some work. The video was actually quite nice, I like the interactive feature at the end.

Disappointed again.

I don’t even know why I bother to watch teasers, they have absolutely nothing to do with the title track most of the time.
