[MV] Yoon Mi Rae - Because of You



Station #3
Kinda flipped out when I saw this one would have Tasha. Beautiful.

So the system seems to be that every Station release will be some combination of SM or non-SM artists with SM or non-SM producers... like this one is:

Yoon Mi Rae ( non-SM artist) + Kenzie/Matthew Tishler (SM producers)

[MV] MAMAMOO - You're the Best



Not quite as catchy as their other leads, but I'm okay with that! Video is cute and fun.
Hwasa's ginger hair is fire.
Live performances will be killer.
And I hope they never stop referencing their previous hits. It makes me giggle and melt a little every time. XD

Listening to the album and enjoying it!

0.5 x 2 version (Fast Motion effect):

[MV] Eddy Kim (feat. Beenzino) - Paldangdam

Would not recommend if dolls or mannequins freak you out...



What an odd MV. Lol.

[MV] Jung Joon Young - Amy

[MV] W (Where The Story Ends) (feat. Whale) - No lullaby for Cowgirl



Can't find good/translated info on this one. All kinds of confusion about the status of W&Whale and Whale and W&JAS... and all that. Lol.

Cool bluegrass-ish sound though!

[MV] KIXS - Please Come Back



"Soul Version" with Chancellor:

[MV] Burningsoda - Freedom

[MV] COSMIC GIRLS - Mo Mo Mo

DEBUT


Official channel link

All these newer girl groups with high energy choreo! That synchronization!
I'd say it's more visually memorable than musically memorable. Looks like the song is extended for the MV... the Chinese version of the song is under 4 minutes. So that might be making it drag a bit.

12-member group. South Korean(9) and Chinese(3). Collaborative project between Starship and Yuehua. Also using the initialism WJSN for Wu Ju So Nyeo.

Dance practice:

[MV] Jung Joon Young (feat. Suh Young Eun) - Sympathy



Voices, man. Voices.

[MV] TAEMIN - Drip Drop



Hell of a pre-release.
If it wasn't obvious last year, it should be clear with material like this that SM is pushing their sound and presentation in new directions. Interesting to watch the evolution.

Also can't unsee the Star Trek TOS episode 'Arena' where Kirk fights the Gorn. XD

I've personally enjoyed watching Taemin develop as a dancer and performer since day one. Dude is extremely talented. I'm glad he's getting a chance to express it.

The Highlight Medley for his album is a performance piece in itself...

[MV] B.A.P - Feel So Good



Official channel link

Not sure I'll ever get used to happy/bright BAP. Lol.

[MV] Big Brain - No-Yes

[MV] Kim Woo Joo - Separate Ways

[MV] SS301 - PAIN



I'm soo paaaaiiinnn...

The return of SS501... kind of. Their company is calling this a 'special project group' with Young Saeng, Kyu Jong, and Hyung Jun.

There is also a series of accompanying videos released at the same time:
[1], [2], [3], [4]

Jung Min and Hyunjoong are doing their military service. Of course, we've also found out recently after a legal cluster**** that Hyunjoong is an abuser who beats women, soooooo... hopefully he'll be out of the group permanently.

[MV] Brave Girls - Deepened



Long time no see, Brave Girls!

[MV] Rainbow - Whoo



Official channel link

Kinda like the color/black/prism idea in the video. A bit generic otherwise.

[MV] Huh Gak, VROMANCE - Already Winter

NSFW WARNING: Kidnapping, gunshot wounds, gore... grief/torture porn...
