I.N.E.E.D.U (BTS) #kweek

So....

The song (audio) was released few days ago... I liked it! The lyrics are nice... The MV- on the other hand... No matter how hard they try to look older/more mature... They are still cute little boys, and this video confirms that. Like,idk, it's a song with a heavy feel/story, but when you see them running around, smiling.... kids! Handsome, talented kids, tho! 

The general message(behind the mv, cuz the song is obviously hella love song), if I'm not wrong, is that - When the times are rough, the power of true friendship is the cure... or at least, it can help you feel less shity... So, trow away those crazy thoughts, painkillers, unhealthy food and whatnot... And go outside... Spend time with your friends.. Cuz friends have that healing power... Friends help each other.

MV's all about that... Even tho, there are few scenes that I didn't really understood - maknae Jongkook's scene with that black car; V's face after he knock down girl's violent bf... Anyway, the last scene is very peaceful and kinda full of hope (like... new day-new chance).. The only thing that confuses me is - why they have used black&white for that scene...? There may or may not be hidden meaning behind it...

Nice fading filter usage in the video - makes it kinda gloomy, but at the same time warm. Single close up shots are, like always, gold. I like Hope's close ups the most... also Rap Mon's...V's too.... And then - tears! I swear, when I see those perfect faces/skin complexions in those close ups... Like, personally, I feel offended by how perfect they are. :P

And ofc - CLOTHES! V's outfit is my favorite ( Nice acting V, btw!). Actually, they're all well dressed... Casual. 

As for the music - it's aweeesome. Also - just listen to those 7 different voices/emotions that they throwing  at us... N.i.c.e!  

Songs that have been released recently:

Another funny and colorful mv from Lim Kim.

Interesting duo (because of Seunghyup from NFlying, aka J.Don)

And definitely the randomest collab ever... (but I like Adoonga's voice/part... whoever he is...)

Enjoy life, Loolooboos!

We rise by lifting others!

xoxoxoxo

(see you soon - BigBang's making a comeback.... finally)

Category: Dance

What would KPOP be without awesome... extraordinary... amazing... sensational... wonderful...

delightful... breathtaking... spectacular... remarkable... marvelous CHOREOGRAPHIES!?!?!?!?!

Can't even imagine...

Can you?

Actually, the very first thing that caught my attention (and turned me into kpop lover)years ago was DANCE magic(!) that has spontaneously popped out from my computer...

I was literally like                                                                       

  ... Clicked play... And the rest is history...       

Welcome to Weirdland... where
all types of body rolle(er)s live... 

         ...Once you enter the kpop world, you will never find your way out! But that's ok

....cuz over here...(I see you fellow kpop addicts agreeing) we                                                                                                                               All The Time!

(no stage lights, no make up, no fancy costumes

DANCE PRACTICE VIDEOS

WOOHOOHOO!

with a few exceptions, tho)

1. RAIN - La Song

"I'm not one of those common men, I'm not!" - Yes, Rain, we know that.

He's 30 sexy, and he's a legend! (first few seconds - hhahahhahahah...love)

2. MBLAQ - Be A Man

Chorus part dance - everything! I just can't believe that this could be their last(ever) comeback performance together. *NO meme*

3. EXO - Overdose

The time when dance practice video leaked... Oops! Anyway - the quality of that video is baaad( and the boys didn't look really concentrated)... So..That's why.. Official MV - start! feeelllllzzzz

4. 2PM - I'm Your Man

HOT! I've been loving this dance since (japanese ver.) release of 'I'm your man'. I was very surprised/pleased when they came back with a korean ver. Whoever made this choreo - Dude, thank you! (+ bonus live perf of actual cb song 'Go Crazy')

5. TAEYANG - Ringa Linga

This is how YoungBae (zeropear) rolls... So, DON'T (you ever dare) KILL HIS VIBE!

6. BOYFRIEND - Witch

This year... finally... they caught my eye! When I saw them perf live, I was like - Well, that's different. And cool. And clever/interesting curtains usage. Very nice.

7. U KISS - Quit Playing

One chair...BUTBUTBUT...girl backup dancers!!! Muahahhhahah - Uncensored ver. (a...almost). Damn you tv-broadcast rules! The least censored ver.!

Stop UKiss in the name of love....

8. TAEMIN - Danger

Fairy Man! Show 'em whatcha got! One of the most passionate dancers I have ever seen.

9. VIXX - Error

DarkConceptsKings/Pros! All things Cyborg + Unplugging at the end (my fav part). They're serious(ly good looking) from the beginning to the end...

10. INFINITE - Back

As I said before - They have unique music style, and unique choreos. 

Groups that build their reputation without using/relying on the company's name exist. Synchronization is Infinite's last name. Watch. 

10. BTS - Danger

Babies! I truly admire them. I'm really impressed with BTS's dances(on/off stage) (with every single one). Their energy is just... incredible. Kyah! 

11. GOT7 - Girls Girls Girls

Rookies! "Girls Girls Girls, they love me...". Still my fav Got7's song/dance! Intro was scariest thing(MARKSON trick). Luckily, there weren't any accidents. After all, martial arts tricking is Got7's specialty. 

(!big shout out to kpop choreographers!

props! kudos! and all that shizz...

wootwoot!)

One Smile?!

There you go...

Nice.

(18.12.2014. - TopOfKpop2014 Part 2)

TodayOnTheMusicMenu *kpopthursday/kpopčetvrtak*

How on Earth I'm supposed to organize this post... Agrhhrhrhrhhhh....Too many, too many comebacks this week... :-P (oooh, Kpop, if you could produce songs a little bit slower - no, seriously, Kpop - you need to slow down for your own sake... )... Hyper production is NO GOOD!
Ok, girl, compose yourself!!!
You can do it!

Here we go!
'BEAST' boys are back with a Special 7th mini album 'TIME', and with an MV for the title song - '12:30'. Earlier this year they made a comeback, and this (gift)album took me by surprise, but I like it. The songs are quite emotional, and the members voices makes them even more enjoyable. As for the title track - I get it, harsh break up story, again... but, MV- why u so dark? My favorite member, Doojoon got a lead role in this video, but rather than a normal guy, he seemed a bit psycho-tic...and  that's not what I expected... The point of the lyrics is that the two grow apart from each other, and now they are like clock hands at 12:30 - with their backs turned against each other, looking at different places...
I can't stop wondering - why the heck is the girl shoeless at 2:06 (it might be because of the height difference...), and who(why) is that topless drummer(there)?  Dance and clothes (especially shoes) - flawless! I think it's safe to say now - Hyunseung is my second favorite member of Beast(read coat)...There, I said it. :)

And then...(was it)Yesterday or two days ago?! BTS surprised us with a music video for 'War of Hormone'. Awww, those cutie pies - how adorkable. I was rofl when I heard the song for the first time (long, long time ago, cause it's a song from their latest album). The lyrics are so immature, h/corny and (someinternettrollsaresaying)slightly offensive towards the girls (...and the boys - cause  they're implying that all boys are dumb)... BUT, realistically, it's all from a teen-boy perspective - typical teenage thoughts - we've all been teenagers...so keep calm... (blame the hormones)

Again, I like the fashion style they're rockin. Those outfits are cute. And video theme/idea is pretty cool - zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out - on repeat + kind of one take technique. Choreography is my favorite part.  Poor trio - Jin, Jimin(!) and Jungkook - are having hard times with those bikes...But how can you resist those smiley faces :) Let's take a moment to appreciate their honesty and straightforwardness!

Who is next?...

Oh, yeah...Super Junior released MV for one of the songs from their newest album (if you remember from one of previous *KpopThursdays*, I've reviewed their title song  'Mamacita'). Obviously, they decided to continue promoting this album with a video for - 'This is love'. Apparently, black and white (with a pinch of red) is a trend going on in kpop music videos lately... Pardon my eyeroll (it's starting to annoy me) 

SUJU are using a range of props for the choreography this time - chairs, standing mics... And (ofc) they're in a BOX, and (ofc) it's a 'one shot'(one take) video (SM Ent - I really think it's time for some(anykindof) change). Chorus is quite catchy: This is love, this is love...... Can't decide - Leeteuk or Donghae...hmm? tough decision 
(update: suju released 7th full length special edition album 'THIS IS LOVE' - it has 9 tracks that were already released previously, there are 3 new tracks, and 'This is love' remix for a total of 13 songs...ok, then)

Few days ago, out of nowhere, I reviewed Epik High's 'Born Hater' - As I said before, that song is not a title track... This one is. 'Spoiler' (plus spoiler for the other song 'Happen Ending') is totally different from Born Hater. Here we have three members singing/rapping in the background, looking good, and two actors playing/telling the story. The lyrics are from a guy's perspective - he's not sure -(what the two have)is it love or nothing at all...Mature lyrics - as expected(read here). Everyone can relate. 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Epik High - I LOOOVEEEE!

Izvinite zbog nedostatka teksta na srpskom jeziku, post je i ovako predugačak.

Enjoy life, LoolooBabes!!!

xoxoxoxo

Andante.....*kpopthursday/kpopčetvrtak*

Ok, today's kpop story is gonna be a little bit different.
First of all...Rest in peace EunB (she was a member of a girl group Ladies' Code, who tragically passed away from a car accident two days ago). Also, let's pray that the other member's conditions may get better as soon as possible. Please get well soon.
How heartbreaking...
Ok, današnja kpop priča će biti malo drugačija...
Pre svega...Počivaj u miru EunB (ona je bila članica grupe Ladies Code, a tragično je preminula u saobraćajnoj nesreći koja se dogodila pre dva dana). Takođe, pomolimo se za poboljšanje stanja ostalih članica. Nadamo se njhovom brzom oporavku.
Stvarno je tužno...

So, I decided not to post typical Kpopthursday this week..Instead, I just wanna share with you guys some emotional and 'sodifferentfromthetittletrack' songs, that I  really enjoy listening to lately (from the latest Winner's and BTS's albums). 
..Been loving the music, as well as the lyrics. Really really good songs...And vocals too...(I've found English subbed videos, so...enjoy....(props/credits to subbing teams) 
Iz tog razloga, odlučila sam da ne postavim tipičan Kpopčetvrtak za ovu nedelju. Umesto toga, želim da podelim sa vama neke emotivne i drugačijeodnaslovnihpesama pesme, koje volim da slušam u poslednje vreme (pesme su sa poslednjih album grupa Winner i BTS)
..Dopada mi se muzika, kao i tekstovi. Dobre pesme.. I vokali, takođe...(ako će vam pomoći, nađoh videee sa engleskim prevodom...pa, uživajte...svepoštovanje/zasluge za timove prevodioca)

Let it be andante for today...

Neka bude andante za danas...

BTS- Rain

Winner - Different

DANGER and STRESS!!! *kpopthursday/kpopčetvrtak*

Comebacksss...to many comebacksssss!

Taemin's solo debut! (not a comeback...but...good song...therefore....'Danger' review)
He is a member of Shinee, the maknae of the group (the youngest one). I'd say it is a successful debut. I like the song...now (at first I didn't like it at all...later on, it grew on me - stating the obvious). You will notice the 'Michael Jackson' vibe - those moves and  the clothes... Taemin is a very very very passionate dancer, natural talent, music junkie - which you'll (also) notice throughout the video. Onto the MV! Outfits - decent ones, white hair - nice, black hair - nice...That thing in his nose I don't mind, but that weapon guitar - ??? (weapon is a no-no, it's a stupid invention anyway, unnecessary - it's not his fault, it's director's). Choreography - expressive; heavyeyemakeup - I like it; glances - seductive (he's so chic). (For those who are already familiar with other Shinee members - have you notice Jonghyun's influence at 1:39?..kkkkkkk). If you're interested in the lyrics - google/youtube!
Taeminov solo debi (nije u pitanju comeback....ali...dobra pesma...prema tome....'Danger' rivju)
On je najmlađi član grupe Shinee. Čini mi se da je debi ok - uspešan. Dopada mi se pesma...sada (u početku mi se nije svidela uopšte, kasnije mi je prirasla srcu - očigledno). Primetićete uticaj Majkl Džeksona - odeća i pokreti...Taemin je veoma veoma veoma strastveni denser, prirodni talenat, obožava muziku - što ćete, takođe, primetiti gledajući spot. Što se tiče spota!? Odeća - pristojna, bela kosa - lepo, crna kosa - lepo... Ta stvar u njegovom nosu mi ne smeta, ali ta oružje-gitara -??? (oružjabez moliću, to je i ovako glup pronalazak...nepotrebno skroz - ali nije njegova krivica, već režisereva).
Koreografija - izražajna; teškašminkaokoočiju - sviđa; pogled - zavodnički (šik osoba skroz). (Za one kojima su poznati i ostali članovi grupe - Jeste li primetili Jonghyunov uticaj na 1.39?...hhahaha). Ako vas interesuje prevod - google/youtube! 

Another 'Danger'. BTS is back with a song that I.....didn't like at first, but now I do(where have you heard this before....hmm?). Ok, after watching the MV, I was confused about one particular thing - What's V's and Jun's hobby? RapMon is all about writing the rap lines, or drawing the tattoos, or tattooing (I guess he's a man of many hobbies...), Jungkook plays the piano, J-Hope dances, Suga's playing basketball, Jimin's boxing...but what on the earth those two are doing - looking in the mirror(Narcissus) and setting fire(Pyromaniac). . . ok, then...let's move onto the less creepy things... I like the choreography, as well as the music and the lyrics( English sub available - yaaaay. Thanks 1theK, thanks). The outfits are ok - casual, normal clothes for normal people's frustrating love story - so we (all) can relate. In my opinion, BTS is in the Top5 kpop male groups when it comes to dancing( although I like the previous ones more then this...but yeah...good job, guys (I saw  live performance, and they were breathless at the end of the song - respect, that's what I call- dedication). J-Hope all the waaaayyy (*winkwink).
Još jedna 'Opasnost'. BTS su se vratili sa pesmom, koja....mi se nije svidela na prvo slušanje (gde li ste ovo već čuli...hmm?). Ok, nakon što sam odgledala spot, ostadoh zbunjena oko jedne stvari - Koji hobi imaju V i Jun? RapMon je posvećen pisanju rima...ili crta tetovaže...ili tetovira (čovek sa mnogo hobija, pretpostavljam), Jungkook svira klavir, J-Hope igra, Suga igra košarku, Jimin boksuje...ali šta, za ime sveta, rade ova dvojica - jedan se gleda u ogledalo(Narcis), drugi pali vatru iz zabave(Piroman). . . ok, onda....da pređemo na manje jezive stvari... Koreografija je super, kao muzika, a i tekst.. Autfiti su ok - opušteno, normalna odeća za frustrirajuće ljubavne probleme normalnih ljudi - tako da se svi možemo poistovetiti. Po mom mišljenju BTS su jedna od top5 muških kpop grupa kada je reč o densu (iako više volim koregrafije za prethodne pesme...ali svakako, svaka čast, dečaci (videh lajv nastup, na kraju pesme su svi bili iscrpljeni i bez daha - to ja zovem posvećenost). J-Hope jjang (migmig).

Are you tired already?...Endure!
KARA is back with 'Mamma mia' after long long time. Last year( or this year....can't remember) two members of Kara left the group, but recently they added new member - maknae Youngji (2:00). Not much to say - I decided to mention them because they deserve it - they've been around for quite amount of years now...so I just wanted to support them (I love Kara's old songs). Keep you heads up, girls! Nicely done MV. They're pretty (stating the obvious again). Catchy song, I guess.
Jeste li se umorili već?...Izdržite!
KARA se vratla sa pesmom Mamma mia, posle dugo, dugo vremena. Prošle godine(ili ove godine...ne sećam se) dve članice su napustile grupu, ali nedavno je dodata nova članica - najmlađa Youngji (2.00). Nemam ništa posebno da kažem - odlučila sam da ih spomenem samo zato što su jedna od grupa koja je već duže vreme na kpop sceni - zaslužile su...i tako, čisto da ih podržim (volim njihove starije pesme). Glavu gore, devojke! Dobro urađen spot. One su prelepe (opet izjavljujem očigledno). Zarazna melodija..

And now...prepare yourself to ROFL!
(note: This group is not an actual kpop group)
BIG BYEONG ( witch means Big Bottle) is group formed through a variety/reality show where two MCs - Comedians are pretending to be producers (they are famous for some parody songs that they've made). Those 4 (poor) guys are actual members of real kpop groups, but they've been given new-funny names, and the rest is improvisation (yes, I know, it's probably all scripted, but...at least they made us thinking that they're winging it all the time..).With no further ado....STRESS COME ON (another song you can relate to) (real names/groups: Yookduck -Sungjae(BTOB), Wangkong -Jackson(GOT7), Hyukthy -Hyuk(VIXX), Dolbaggy -N(VIXX))
The lyrics...OMG!!
A sada se pripremite za valjanje od smeha!
(napomena: ovo nije prava kpop grupa)
BIG BJONG (što znači- velika flaša) je grupa formirana kroz jedan šou gde se dva voditelja-komičara pretvaraju da su producenti (inače su poznati po nekim parodija pesmama od ranije). Ova 4 (jadnička) su, u stvari, članovi postojećih kpop grupa - ali su im data nova presmešna imena, i sve ostalo je improvizacija (dobro, znam, najverovatnije je sve iscenirano...ali ono..bar se trude da nam predstave sve kao improvizaciju i zabavu..). Ali, da ne dužim više...Stres komon (još jedna pesma sa kojom se svi možemo poistovetiti)
(prava imena/grupe: Yookduck -Sungjae(BTOB), Wangkong -Jackson(GOT7), Hyukthy -Hyuk(VIXX), Dolbaggy -N(VIXX))
Ali tekst....Smejurija!

Few more comebacks/Još par comebackova: Jay Park - Promise / Junho - Feel / Orange caramel - My Copycat

See ya next Thursday!
Vidimo se sledećeg četvrtka!
