No Plastic Surgery, Or else...

New girl group CHI-CHI MUST REMAIN PLASTIC SURGERY FREE!

Representatives of the agency stated, “The girls signed the contract promising they won’t go under the knife. The company, the producers, and the girls decided to play off the concept of natural beauty as one of CHI-CHI’s greatest strengths. Additionally, the no cosmetic surgery clause was added for the benefit of the girls’ futures.”
They added, “We felt it was more important for the girls to maintain their natural charms for the long run rather than make them into perfect-for-television faces. CHI-CHI will challenge other girl groups with their natural appeals and strong singing skills.”

LotsAkpop: I mean WOW, kudos to their agency! They need to stop making people believe that in order to be pretty, you have to change your face! If your in a girl group, in my opinion, people are going to love you anyway, because your famous! You don't have to look perfect, or have to actually have great music to have fans (maybe a lot of fans, yes to the good songs). But in my opinion, good songs are what makes people love you, not your looks! Who's to say you guys don't look good without surgery. I really commend CHI-CHI's agency for this decision, good job!

OK! by B1A4! mv released!

Check it out first!



I must say - I already love these guys. The music video was everything I'd expected to see while watching the trailer. It was fun, exciting, refreshing, the works! They were even really cute! (In my opinion, of course.) I really enjoyed watching this video, and I have to say, I really appreciate the "little nothings" they added to this video. For example, this is a new group, so in the music video, they conveniently added each members name which immediately helps us to better identify with each member, while even explaining the name of their group "secretly" (blood types). At the end of the music video, they added in their bloopers, which I personally believe gives viewers a chance to already make their bonds with these group members! About the song, I am a fan, it went perfectly with the exciting, new, and fun music video! Great work my new B1A4 friends!

New MV "Don't Know" by Apink!

Tada! 짱! 몰라요 "Don't know" apink!



So, I wasn't tooo overly fond of the music video, or toooo overly fond of the ..I guess dance? I'm not sure if that was a signature chorus dance or what, the dancing seemed to be a little too fast for the beat, but the video seemed to be very bland. I really like the song, but the mv.. maybe not so much. I can see how they were attempting to be cute, but.. the bland clothes, the bland backgrounds = way too boring for the song. I expected something a little more bright and peaceful. But considering the song, it was a good start!

What do you think? Sincerely, LotsAkpop!

It's here! f(x)'s new mv DANGER! from pinocchio!

And here it is!!



I don't necessarily like how the beginning of this song starts, it's not really catchy enough for me to respond like, "OH LET ME KEEP LISTENING!" BUT! since I love f(x), I decided to keep watching (of course) and I was pleasantly surprised. The chorus was amazingly catchy and it automatically made me start wanting to learn the dance to the chorus. Not to mention, Suli's voice seemed to have randomly matured in this music video, but i didn't actually realize it was her until I saw the live version. Which i do love:] funky dance moves, Keep up the good work f(x)!

Here is the live version that I enjoyed watching!

Who wore it better?

Big Bang's T.O.P and SNSD's Tiffany have been photographed sporting a korean vintage shop's HAT! With some.. well, weird.. interesting ribbons and.. scissors?? So who wore it better? IF YOU ASK ME, this hat.. is definitely a girl's hat. Sorry T.O.P.

My hat's off to TIFFANY!

SNSD's Taeyeon Incident::

On the 17th Taeyeon got dragged off stage by a male fan. Currently Taeyeon is fine and more has been revealed about the male fan. According to the staff of the event "The student was from Masan and did what he did because he was young," "It wasn't a kidnapping incident the situation was taken care of and SNSD finished their three songs." SM Entertainment have not turned the male fan over to the police. If the male fan had been taken over to the police he would have fallen under "Work Interference" and "Violent Act" laws.
source: soompi

LotsAkpop: So we've all heard about this until no end. I just think that this has to be the most silly fan I've heard of. I mean.. dragging her off the stage? What good is that going to do you? Maybe you would have come across better saying Hi or maybe if you could get THAT close to her without the guards paying attention, you could introduce yourself AFTER you see them perform. So now you want to be a smart guy, ruin the show for everyone else, and then get kicked out and waste all of your money. Hmm.. maybe as your sitting outside or in jail, you're thinking that maybe it wasn't the smartest decision you've made eh? Well anyway, I feel bad for Taeyeon having to experience the embarrassment at most.. Although they should probably press charges.. 
GOOD THING THOUGH! SUNNY WAS THERE TO SAVE THE DAY!

 

Obviously while the guards were there, NOT doing there jobs, Sunny had to step in and save her infamous group leader from further embarrassment, GOOD JOB Sunny, thanks for the quick thinking! 

 Anyway.. Way to go fan.. Sheesh.

Apink debut!

After teasing us the past two weeks with two different teasers, the girls of ‘Apink’ have finally made their debut with the release of their EP, “Seven Springs of Apink”.
The group consists of members Park Chorong, Yoon Bomi, Jung Eun Ji, Son Na Eun, Hong Yoo Kyung, Kim Nam Joo, and Oh Ha Young.
The EP contains 5 tracks in all and their title track, ‘Don’t Know’ is a sweet melody that fits well for the Spring season.

LotsAkpop: Go Apink! I see a bright future for this new group of girls! Their new track "Don't Know" has a sweet melody and I'm already a fan! Keep up the good work! 

Here is their new MV teaser for "Don't Know"!



And here goes the audio for "Don't Know"!



How do you like it? Sincerely, LotsAkpop!

F(x) DANGER!! song from "pinocchio" revealed!

The girls of f(x) - Victoria, Krystal, Sulli, Amber, and Luna – released their new song Pinocchio (Danger) at midnight today April 18th. Their new song was definitely very f(x)ish to say the least. The lyrics were very complex like an intricate puzzle; and at times they were reminiscent of Pinocchio the Puppet’s arms and legs and how they would fly all over the place.

With the exception of a few, the lyrics in general were very hard to understand. It had a few catchy easy-to-sing-along phrases like “jing jing wing wing,” “dda ra dda rad da dda dda,” and “dda dda dda,” but that was about it.

The song then makes a random shift to bakery lyrics using words like macaroons and pastries. It contained phrases like “I’ll open and crumble it piece by piece, and I’ll re-bake the ones I like.” While the melodies and rhythms are very catchy and cute; once you take apart the lyrics, you’ll realize how creepy they are. Nevertheless, their sound, rhythm, lyrics, and beats are definitely original and experimental making them that much more addicting. f(x) will release their full album on April 20th.
source: soompi

LotsAkpop: Now I on the other hand, think that this sounds hilarious and fun! Who ever said that you couldn't make a song about food? Besides, I think the most important part of the song is the catchy beat, when you have something to dance to.. they could say anything.. (Just like IU's MARSHMALLOW.. i mean really? cute cute song.. pointless lyrics!) As long as you can dance to it, they can say whatever they want! The pictures of the video look fun and entertaining, which is of the utmost importance!

Here is the music video teaser!



And the audio track!

 B1A4 reveals "OK" MV teaser!

How about you? Sincerely, LotsAkpop!

New group named Handsome People debut with their new song "Crazy"

Mblaq's Mir and G.O. have a baby photo competition on Twitter!

On April 13th, Mir tweeted, “My past pictures, I’ll upload one by one” and began to reveal his childhood pictures.
After seeing Mir’s tweets, G.O. tweeted, “Then I’m [going to upload] past pictures as well” and kicked off their photo competition. He first uploaded a picture of himself wearing a bright red jumper, proving that he’s been a fashionista since birth.
Mir responded by tweeting, “Oh, I can’t lose” and uploaded another photo where he stands nonchalantly in front of a lake. Netizens immediately noticed how Mir’s expression remained the same for both photos, despite the time difference between them.
As a final response, G.O. tweeted, “I can’t lose to Bang Chul Yong (Mir’s real name). This is my affluent birthday party! Behind me is a Goryeo Celadon jar which I received as a gift.” In his new picture, he’s seen posing like a little gentleman while wearing a yellow shirt.

New Boy Group: BlockB!

Yay, everyone is excited about new boy groups!! This new group named BlockB has released their new music video "Don't move"!




About this video.. I generally like the song. I like the new funky hairstyles (although a little odd) and their funky outfits! The dances were new and fresh to the kpop world, and I must say.. I do like the rap in this song! Reminds me of a certain someone.. *cough* Outsider.. Very upbeat and attention getting song!

Big Bang's Love Song MV release!

Well... title says it all. Check it out!



Well, can't say I wasn't aliitttllee disappointed. I thought they were on the beach, but when you see the crazy broken floor, I guess not. The dancing seemed a little, well NOT in sync with each other.. a little random actually. OBVIOUSLY Gdragon doesn't like this long song by the way, well he hates it. Aw.. I guess Taeyeon hates it too! Well darn.. And what did that sound say? "Kostel P. Marie?" Wow that place sucks.. Especially with cars falling out of the sky..

반짝 반짝!!

Congratulations CNBLUE!

CNBLUE has shaken up a music chart in Taiwan!
The band’s initial studio album, “ Initial Step “, lately ranked #1 on Taiwan’s weekly music chart, G-MUSIC . This is surprising simply because CNBLUE didn’t officially release the album in Taiwan.
CNBLUE has appeared on foreign charts before when they ranked second on Japan’s Oricon singles chart. Their success as a band rather than a dance group is helping to diversifying the Hallyu wave overseas. Meanwhile, CNBLUE's title song, “ Intuition ” won the Mutizen award on SBS ’s “ Inkigayo ” on April 10th, holding up to its hot popularity.

LotsAkpop: Congratulations CNBLUE! They've come so far so fast! You know its always an accomplishment when you are ranked #1 in a country other than your own language! Wow! 

Here is CNBLUE's new song "Intuition" if you have not seen it already:



Anyone else bobbing their head to the beginning beat? CNBLUE is totally going tough guy in this music video! Spray painting the WALLS, spray painting CARS! Oh.. was that someone's.. window.. Oooo~ CNBLUE... tsk tsk. Wait.. how'd you get in the car?? SO NOW we're not only spray painting but breaking in! Then.. we stare at the camera, "What you going to say something about it?" Ohhh no CNBLUE, i want to keep my car and windows.. The cop obviously didn't agree.. but CNBLUE didn't care! 
Wait cops are here! TELEPORT! .. Guys.. I left my guitars.. 


Anyone, I definitely liked this video! We get to see a new, fun side of CNBLUE while their singing their new catchy tune!
What did you think? Are you digging CNBLUE's new side? Sincerely, LotsAkpop!

Click-B, ur back?!

Old school boy band Click-B released a new digital single, “To Be Continued,” on Wednesday, resuming activities as a group for the first time in eight years. This is Click-B’s first album with new tracks since their 2003 album “Cowboy.” Their last two records released in 2004 and 2006 were each a best album and remake album.
Source: soompi

LotsaKpop: Wow! It's always good to here about boy bands getting back together! Personally, I've never heard of this group, but I think this is going to be great! Although, it does make me wonder.. how old were they when they started? For them to come back 8 years later, well, that's a long time. But I'm always excited to hear something new! More Power to them!

GOONG THE ...musical??

SS501 Kim Kyu Jong has been cast in the musical “Goong,” which will be shown in Japan from mid-June, local media reported today. Following in the footsteps of DBSK Yunho and actor Joo Ji Hoon, Kyu Jong will play the lead role of “Lee Shin.”
Source:soompi

LotsAkpop: Well, I don't know about you guys.. But I've seen Goong, and of course, I loved it! Just like i loved every korean drama that I've ever watched.. everrr. So Goong is said to turn into a musical. Um.. so.. "...." what?? 
Anyone that has seen Goong probably has the same response that I'm having right now. Even though Goong was a GREAT drama and I had alot of fun watching it.. I'm not so sure that it should be a ...musical. I love musicals, and I really enjoy going to see them. But I think we all know that Goong.. well.. it had WAY too much super cereal series conversations to possibly change this into.. a song. I mean think about it... Lee Shin's character was very dull, gloomy, and well.. not so nice. NOW in GOONG THE MUSICAL, he is going to be dancing around and well.. singing a lullaby.. 
I mean, if Kyu Jong can do a good job of portraying "Lee Shin"'s evil personality.. MORE POWER TO HIM!

U-kiss's New Song "0330"

So! We've all heard about U-kiss's new song "0330". This song is on U-kiss's new album called "Bran New Kiss". (hm.. clever album name..) If you haven't, why.. here it is!



I was watching this new video, and I was actually surprised! I've been so used to hearing U-kiss singing fast-paced upbeat songs. But of course, it was a nice surprise.. U-kiss sounds great as always. I was also surprised to see how many parts in the song their new members actually had. I'm happy for them! It was a strong start.
Now, about the video. Before reading the english translation of the song, I was REALLY confused (but i guess that's obvious.) I liked it, but i figured it would make more sense if Dongho said the beginning over Eli (wait, doesn't dongho's english blow), or if maybe Eli was the main character in this love story. But, since its the song that matters, I didn't really care about that.
What I was really confused about was, this girl. (not to mention the random piano in the forest, oh and.. is it raining or not? ..I guess late we find out, it actual is raining.. or is it?) What exactly happens to this girl, she seems nice and totally into Dongho.. wait.. maybe not. Dongho is TOTALLY into her, but i'm not so sure of her feeling. Maybe Dongho is overreacting a little? Eli obviously thinks so when he snatches the phone from Dongho as he is obviously hallucinating her voice on the other side.

POOR DONGHO!!!
Anyway.. I found out that Eat Your Kimchi has done a Kpop Music Monday for 0330, and I found it absolutely hilarious(as always)! Please check it out!!



To get back to the point... anyone else love this melodramatic NEW u-kiss MV? What do you think about it!
Sincerely, LotsAkpop!
