2010 Kpop: What’s to come…

Sorry for not upating…didn’t think that labs would start so early this semester…T____T

Anyways…this post is a VERY late post…was planning on posting it way back when 2010 actually started…lol.

But…i hit the wrong button and i deleted almost everything on my usb…including my draft for this post T____T

So…here’s the point of this thread…

What I’m looking forward to:

1. Tasha – T’s new album is dropping very soon. And…JK is working on this album for her. For those who don’t know, Tasha is the Queen of Soul in Korea. She is quite well known among fans but I guess for the mainstream kpop followers…she’s not that well know. But, she is VERY well known in Korea.

2. One Day – 2PM is coming out with a new album. This time, I’m really hoping Jaebum will be back!! Why you ask?! It’s because they just released their 1:59PM album not too long ago and I found it strange that they’re already releasing another one. When?! APRIL!! The month of my birthday and Jaebum’s birthday! His birthday is 4 days after mine <3 2AM is also coming out with some new stuff too!! I want a One Day collab!

3. YG Year – 2010 is YG’s year. With comebacks and solo debuts of their artists…I’m sure YG will dominate! SE7EN is FINALLY making a comeback after about 3 years. It sucks that his US debut failed miserably…but I still think he has the most potential to make it big out of all the Korean artists crossing over. Blame YG for signing with a crappy company. But, rumor has it he’s in the talks with a BIG label. *hoping for Interscope* Big Bang’s Daesung, Taeyang and TOP will be dropping some new stuff as well!! 2NE1 is supposed to release something too. BUT, beware, take YG with a grain of salt!

4. SuJu Comeback Even with all the SM chaos, SuJu said they’re coming back with a new album. I’d take that with a grain of salt too. Without the 13, it’s not a very good album. I went back to listen to their 1st album, without Kyuhyun in it, and I realized it’s my favorite, after the Sorry, Sorry album. Don’t Don was kinda crappy…only liked a few songs on it.

5. Hyori Comeback – Hyori is making a comeback!! Yay!! Who here thinks that Hyori still looks gorgeous and sexy though she’s hitting that 30 mark?!

6. Gina Choi – anyone heard of her? She was a JYP trainee since WAY back but now she’s with sister company, Cube, and is supposed to debut this summer!

What I’m hoping for:

1. Jaebum’s return! I have never given up and I never will. My intuition tells me that he is coming back. It always had..it’s a weird feeling I tell ya!

2. CSJH The Grace – After being kicked all the way to Japan just so SNSD could debut, it’s about time these girls make a comeback. They are one of the only girl group that can actually sing, dance and pull off the sexiness all in one performance. They need to get out of SM ASAP.

3. SM downfall – After being a kpop fan for about 6 years, I’ve seen and read a lot on the behind the scenes of kpop, especially related to SM artists. It’s not as simple as we see it. It’s shady business! From “financial” problems, to abuse, to lawsuits, I’ve seen and heard it all. The truth behind SM is very simple. Just think of the reasons why H.O.T. and Shinhwa (2 legend groups of kpop!) left SM. There’s a reason why FTTS left the company too. H.O.T problem = TVXQ’s problem. Same friggen’ thing! History repeats just like how fashion repeats! Zhang Li Yin gets ditched in China, when she barely made a fanbase in Korea!

What I’m not looking forward to:

1. Girlgroup Domination - Will girl groups still be able to dominate the charts this year? We’ll see about that ^^ Groups such as KARA, SNSD and f(x) are all preparing for a new album. Honestly, a bunch of girls dressing not their age is disgusting to me. They make themselves look so fake…oh wait, they are! I just want to see some REAL singers that can sing, dance and act their age. I don’t need 20 year olds dancing in mini skirts with lollipops or a bunch of girls dressing up like they’re cats of animals. It’s not Halloween!! But yes, it’s hilarious when I see boy bands do it…but I do wonder if they ever hurt their man pride doing it…

2. Debut’s of “idol groups” - I’m sick of hearing all these boy and girl groups debuting…there’s just too many of them debuting and I can’t keep up…but it’s not like I want to anyways. 2009 was full of them and it’d be great if it stayed only in that year. What happens in 2009 stays in 2009. I don’t have the time. AND, they keep getting younger and younger and younger! Back when I first listened to kpop, I swear there were no artists that was under the age of 15/16. Now a days, everyone keeps getting younger with less talent. AND they’re not even in there for their pretty looks anymore because every is fake plastic! Everyone just wants to be part of kpop history. Sometimes, I think that kpop is ruining society and I know for a fact, it always had and will continue to in Korea. For example, what school in your town will let school out early just for a concert?!

What’s up?…Ketchup!

yeah…i know that was a lame title…hahaha! But it’s almost 1AM and my head hurts. I’ve been shoving my face into notes and textbooks for the past week…and spent more time at the library then at home…school sucks! One more final and I am done! After Tuesday, everything will be back to normal on this blog ^^

Anyways, this post is just a catch up post for this week and maybe even last week…lol.

Oh yeah…lyrics are coming soon ^^

Wonder Girls on So You Think You Can Dance

Yup, the Wonder Girls were on it! And if you missed it…here’s a video of the performance!

I thought the performance was missing something…a spark, maybe?! I thought it could have been better. Some of it sounded like it was lip-synced…a bit disappointed in that. I love the girls and everything…but I feel this US debut of theirs kinda threw me off…seems like America’s not quite ready for them and the last thing I want is them being viewed as the the “Nobody” girls, “the girls from Jo Bro’s concerts” or even a Disney affiliation, since they were kinda managed by Papa Jo during the concert tour.

_______________________________________________

Seo In Young & Park Jung Ah are leaving Jewelry!

Yup. Title says it all. I’m so sad! They are the only two that I like in Jewelry and are the only members from the “original Jewelry” from way back in history.

Koyote’s BaekGa has brain tumor!

BaekGa was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. At first, he thought it was the after effects of an accident but when he went to go get his head checked, it was a brain tumor T___T  Kim Jong Min is still in the military.

Bloody Note #2

MBLAQ member, Lee Joon, received a bloody note from a crazy fan, who apparently slit her wrists, before using it to write the note. The note said “Lee Chang Sun (his real name), don’t forget me. You are my everything to me. I love you. Remember that. XX.” This is the second a fan has sent in creepy like that, with the first being unlucky Taecyeon of 2PM. For those unaware, Taec’s note consisted of period blood and scatter pubes. Gross, eh?! Fans these days get crazier and crazier. And I wonder who should be blamed for this?! The big music chaebol’s of Korea or what?!

Super Junior is out with a “new” music video

SuJu is out with a new music for their hit song, Sorry Sorry. It was filmed for their concert. It’s very classy but it doesn’t have much of a plot and the song is a LOT slower. Enjoy!

the awards were based on the album sales and album charts from 15th October 2008 till 22nd October 2009

 

i’m still trying to find the whole nomination list…some of the awards disappeared after the show…like OST…i don’t know who won that…and some appeared…like best asian star, asian composer, asian recommends, hall of fame.

before you guys rant about deserving/not deserving awards…please keep in mind that not all nominated artists did not attend…therefore they did not get the award they deserve. in my opinion, there were a few artists that deserved their awards more than others. but boo hoo…that’s mnet and rigged awards for us! but this year, it was not as biased as last year. not as much drama either =)

i wished Jay could’ve been there with 2PM to accept their awards!

and yes..SM did boycott the awards so none of their artists showed up, EXCEPT for three of TVXQ (Jaejoong, Yoochun & Junsu). They accepted an award on BEHALF of the group. It was just sad T___T. you can find a subbed video of them receiving their award and giving out a speech on youtube. i don’t have time to find it at the moment…sorry >.<

and if you would like to watch the show, mnet has kindly uploaded the whole thing…like they always do =) here’s the link ^^
