[MV Review] BTS (Bangtan Boys) - "Blood, Sweat, and Tears"

BTS make their, what? 17th comeback of the year? I honestly lost count, they comeback 20 times a year anyway. 

BTS Fans Really ARE Everywhere

If you're wondering what TLC has to do with this keep reading.

BTS fans, or ARMYs have a reputation for being literally everywhere. From random videos about rain to pornhub and always connecting the missing link (no matter how long that link is mind you) to BTS somehow. While this is fantastic free marketing for BTS a lot of people find it annoying. Even if it is rather hypocritical. 

[MV Review] BTS (Bangtan Boys) - "Save Me"

BTS released their second promotional track "Save Me" which might cements their spot as my new favorite boy group.

[MV Review] BTS - 'Run'

After some trolling and teasing, BTS close their "Most Beautiful Moments in Life" era with "Run." And it's quite the high note to end on.

The struggle of stanning male groups

I've been struggling to keep up to date with the latest releases in K-pop in the past few months due to other obligations I have. But I recently stumbled across SHINee's new dance performance "Married to the Music" and was reminded of how terrible it is to be someone with some form of fashion sense and stan male groups. It's a real struggle to be excited for new live performances for a group when the concept outfits make them look like utter knobs.

BTS do a 180 from 'I Need U' MV-wise with follow-up promotion music video: 'Dope'

BTS is back with the follow-up promotion for their recent mini-album, "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life pt.1." And while I was hoping for a "Fun Boyz" music video, they at least came back with one of the better songs off the album (Suga's intro already has a video, "I Need U" is the title, and "Fun Boyz" was promoted alongside "I Need U").

The Best of the Worst: Jan. 15, 2015

This week, we explore bad decisions. The kinds of decisions that make you say, "Who the hell thought that was a good idea?"

Like, I can almost understand the fans who got a little too crazy when they saw T-ara in Vietnam. You're excited, there's a lot going on, other people are going nuts, so maybe you lose it and grab whatever part of an idol gets closest to you. That's still not the best decision, but perhaps in the heat of the moment, you didn't have time to vet it properly.

"Unnie, Unnie, I love you! Now give me a chunk of your hair."


Or maybe you have a creepy Jiyeon love doll at home you need to finish.

But I draw a blank on understanding some bad decisions — like a photoshoot at the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Someone had to plan that. And I just wonder "Why?"

Hip-Hop Concepts: What Have They Ever Done For Us?

Ever since the dawn of time (well, since around about 2011) K-Pop has seen a rise not only in the amount of time given to the obligatory rap in a song, but also to the quality of the rappers. This has happened to such an extent that some company executive somewhere took time out of their busy schedule, of racquetball and slapping trainees with enormous wads of money, to create a group with a full-blown hip-hop concept. Whilst I am sure that someone will tell me about all of the hip-hop concepts in 90s K-Pop, I do not consider this assault on the eardrums to be a hip-hop concept in the same way that I don't consider Vanilla Ice to be a rapper. It would be very easy to get bogged down in which group had the first hip-hop concept in K-Pop, and it would probably make for a more interesting article, but I am here to assault you with my opinions as we take a look at hip-hop concepts since 2011 by group, and assessing not only whether or not it was a good concept to go with, but if that group stuck with it. So let us delve into the world of the try-hards and the gangsters as we come to realise that the Korean ghetto is full of unreasonably attractive people cosplaying as bandannas.

Zaku's Top 20 Songs of 2014 (#20-11)

2014 has been a year full of ups and downs, with many hilarious plot twists we never saw coming on top of many tragedies we never wanted to experience. Regardless, 2014 was a surprisingly good year for Kpop musically. I don't know if I'm early or late on this, but since people wanted me to share my opinion on the best songs of 2014, here's my picks for the year.

CRITERIA:

• Release from Jan. 1 - Dec. 25
• Korean releases only (sorry Japan)
• all tracks are fair game (meaning not only title tracks)
• no double dipping -- a group can only appear once
