IU's new album 'Modern Times' is pretty fabulous.
All jazzy, big band, bossa nova, perfection. <3

[MV] Busker Busker - Love, at first



Brace for impact. Busker Busker's new album is probably going to wreck the charts for a while. Deservedly so. The album is wonderful.

[MV] JYJ - Only One



IT'S THE CHEESIEST THING EVER AND I LOVE IT. 
It's just a promo song for the 2014 Asian Games, but it's the first JYJ song in FOREVER so it's perfection by default. Lol.<3

[MV] A.T, Geeks - Don't be

[ADMIN] Updating...



The Indies/Jazz category on the genres page has been annoying me. It's too broad. I'm now in the process of splitting the group into two. One will be more of the coffee shop acoustic vibe. The other will be electronic/techno/synthy. I think that will help clarify things and give me confidence in adding more artists.

[MV] Drunken Tiger, Yoon Mi Rae, Bizzy - The Cure



Just gorgeous. Yoon Mi Rae is my Queen, as always. Not sure if these guys will have a new name like 'MFBTY'. They're starting fresh with a new label as FEELGHOOD. And this is off of Drunken Tiger's upcoming album... featuring Yoon Mi Rae and Bizzy.

[MV] XIA - 11am



When I say this is everything I've ever wanted from this man, it isn't hyperbole.
I'm weepy and elated.

Junsu's full album will be out on the 15th.
I'mma go find a towel for my tears.

[DEBUT] ODD EYE - Catch Me If You Can



Interesting. I dig the strings. I always dig strings.
This particular track is a touch too disorienting, but I'd really like to see what else they can bring.

[MV] Henry - TRAP




Kyuhyun of Super Junior and Taemin of SHINee featured in Henry's solo debut.

If anyone is confused. Henry is a member of Super Junior M, the Chinese subgroup. He's Canadian. He dances. Speaks a lot of languages. Plays a lot of instruments. He first showed up back in 2007 for the violin solo in SuJu's video for Don't Don. And is now out of the SM dungeon... apparently.

Here it is! PSY's follow-up to Gangnam Style.
GaIn of Brown Eyed Girls is the featured lady.
The hip-swaying dance is pulled from BEG's 'Abracadabra' from 2009. Check that out here.
We'll see if it gets a bump from 'Gentleman'. Enjoy!

Congrats, PSY!

[ADMIN] Quick Update...



After leisurely fiddling with Kpoppy for the last year or so, I finally posted it on reddit to get feedback. The response was unexpectedly awesome. Thank you, redditors of /r/kpop! I've been furiously taking notes, fixing little bits of code and errors, and adding artists. My eyeballs are fried!

The second tab/page on this blog is now scrapped. The 'link dump' of idols has been moved to the bottom of the MUSIC page on Kpoppy. I've spent all day on it. Talk about tedious! I haven't thoroughly checked it on different browsers, so it might not be consistent. I'll check tomorrow.

The site continues to take shape. Little bits will be improving day-to-day. I'm learning a lot, which is exactly what I need. Trying to keep up with MV posts here. Slowly, very slowly, backlogging through the 2012 releases to fill out the tags more. Not sure how far I'll go back. It's a lot of work!

Thank you for your time!
- Allie

[MEDIA] Anna Kendrick goes K-Pop with f(x)

Anna Kendrick joins the K-Pop supergroup F(x) on their World Tour and things go as well as you'd expect.

It's short, cute, multilingual, and awkward in all the best ways.



PS. Amber, I love you.

[MV] Joo Bora - Without You

DEBUT

[MV] SHINee - Dream Girl

...SHINee's back...
Top : Full MV
Bottom : Dance MV




Looks like SM is more willing to throw effort and money into their products... as well as trying to expand the 'box'. Commendable. Even more commendable is whoever got them into those leggings.

Tangent: The ballet geek in me is getting Petrushka feels. More than the usual Kpop vid. The rooms. The vivid color. Strange. I can dig it.

The song is decent. It's not Lucifer or Replay, but it grooves. The rest of the album (part 1) is similarly funky. It's quite cohesive and lively. Excited to see the live performances. SHINee brings it!

Pro-tip: Visit Tumblr tomorrow and search the shinee tag. The gifs will be plentiful and glorious.

[LULZ] Posting for the giggles

Some bigger releases are coming soon. Meanwhile, an interlude of lulz...

Phantom made a remix of Verbal Jint's 'Good Morning'



And Team H made a track for Japan, 'What is your name?'
Sometimes it's so bad that it's goo... nope. Still bad. *snort*


NANDAYO!
