Members Cheap21 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Members Share Posted January 7, 2016 iKON's growing on me too but really for the three members Ive mentioned. I cant get into the other 4. 2PM's upcoming comeback is bittersweet. Its reported it'll be their last before members start getting enlisted Looking forward to 4Minute as the last rumor was fall and that didnt pan out Have you listened to SHINee's album? Im really digging it. Wishful Thinking is probably my favorite song 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted February 1, 2016 Members Share Posted February 1, 2016 Bless this kpop thread. It has been so long. I missed you! Please register in order to view this content 4minute released HATE yesterday. It's not as good as Crazy but... I like it? The main beat is kind of farty but catchy. 90s hep-hap alert! Jihyun wow. Looks so good with blonde hair and blue contacts! They all looked good actually: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2016 YES! The entire mini is hot especially Blind. i really wish Cube would give them a full album instead of all these minis bc they are very talented and earned it WINNER They are finally back with not one, not two, but three singles! Well one is a solo. Looks like their latest release EXIT, will follow the BIGBANG MADE strategy of monthly mini releases. Im not really feeling E, but it'll grow on me iKON They released a Japanese version of Welcome Back and it has quite a few different songs from the Korean album. I really like this song. Dare I say the Japanese album is better? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted February 2, 2016 Members Share Posted February 2, 2016 Cube do not promote 4minute well enough. They have blown the budget on Skrillex producing Hate and, as a result, promotions are going to be lacking. Plus the stylists dressed them well in the mv but in the press conference to introduce the song? Um.... I don't understand why they don't give them an album, there are at LEAST 2 if not 3 really strong vocalists in 4minute. You can hear it so well in the ballad part of the song. Looks like both YG and SM are trying to follow this Big Bang formula of releasing things in drips and drabs in order that fans stay buying. SM want to release something from one of their artists once a week! I feel like that is almost too much. Sometimes you need to miss a group to appreciate them. Speaking of Big Bang, I really like that iKON song you linked to but I also think it sounds very BB-ish -- Baeng Baeng Baeng chorus-like. Nothing wrong with that, just saying! Hey Cheap, did you ever compile your best of kpop in 2015 list? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matt Posted February 2, 2016 Members Share Posted February 2, 2016 Apparently online reaction for Hate has been very mixed with a LOT of people hating it (well, primarily hating the beat-drop chorus). I, personally, LOVE IT. In between WINNER (who I'm just now getting around to checking out with the release of EXIT:E, but I'm loving EVERYTHING I'm hearing), 4Minute, & now Taeyeon's new single, my k-pop favs chart for this week is WRECKED. And I totally agree about the entire 4Minute mini-album. Every. Single. Track. Is FIRE! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted February 2, 2016 Members Share Posted February 2, 2016 I love 4MINUTE. They are hands down my fave girl group in kpop (though Red Velvet come second) and this mini AND the comeback single Hate AND that sick drop beat has me literally booty dropping around my living room. I hope this is a grower and by the end of this week people grow to love this song. I can't get enough of it. MUST LISTEN to Winner's new tracks. It's been so long, I have practically forgotten what they sound like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Members Share Posted February 9, 2016 No, I never did. I was meaning too but got busy and never got around to it. I might come back and do that eventually 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted February 17, 2016 Members Share Posted February 17, 2016 Have we talked about Zico before? I think we have. My friend sent me the link to this. It's a departure from Zico's usual sound but I am really loving everything about this song (with it's retro opening sound) and the mv: In other news, Taemin is releasing a new solo album! A full one this time. And this is the teaser pic for it: Clone-cest? Here is the teaser. It will be a full album this time: And D.O. of EXO is going to release the full length version of Tell Me What is Love, a song he has been singing at concerts and which I absolutely love: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matt Posted February 17, 2016 Members Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'm hit or miss on Zico primarily because I'm really not much of a rap person. I liked "Boys & Girls" & I liked "Eureka", but I didn't like some of his other stuff. That said, I freaking loved "I Am You, You Are Me" & I've had it on heavy rotation in my playlist since it came out. I'm eager for the announced Block-B comeback next month since it'll be their first comeback since I got into k-pop last summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2016 @Cat @AllMyDaysatGH BEAST is back! They just released their 3rd Japanese album, Guess Who? which also happens to be the name of the title track and the first one off their own label, BEAST Music Tracklist: One (Watch MV) Hands Up (Watch MV + Live) Can't wait to love you (Watch MV) This is my life (Watch MV) #TBM (Watch MV) YeY (Japanese version) (Watch MV) Only One (Watch MV) All is in U (Watch MV) Saigono Hitokoto (Watch MV) Stay forever young (Watch MV) Guess Who? The full song is HOT! That beat is amazing and I keep replaying it bc it makes me want to just get up and dance to it. Im upset its just a lyric video though bc I was looking forward to seeing them dance They also have a new update to their official websitehttps://www.beast-beauty.com/ and they did perform it live LOVE 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted March 16, 2016 Members Share Posted March 16, 2016 I love that the 1,000th post in this thread was that wonderful news ;-) very symbolic, as B2ST has to be my all time fave and the group we most discussed once upon a time! That's so cool they released a new album; I am feeling the Guess Who track a lot! Is there a Korean version? I always like comparing the two. I need to listen to all the tracks but so far I'm also loving Stay Forever Young (most of those songs/vids have been on YouTube for awhile...guess I've been out of loop? LOL) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted March 16, 2016 Members Share Posted March 16, 2016 And it seems especially that the OP of this entire thread get the 1,000th post! I like Guess Who but I wish we could have seen the boys and their faces in that lyric video. Still, I liked the underground, secretive tone of the mv. I am so pleased they are getting a release after some sad rumors recently about Hyunseung seeming ready to quit and some Korean fans taking exception to his perceived attitude. I am also glad that Beast are releasing it under their own label and have much more control over their careers. Cube seems to be in some financial mess and I'm just hoping Beast and 4minute get a chance to do their thing and get some success because I don't think Cube was doing a stellar job with either of them for the past year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Members Share Posted March 16, 2016 I didnt even realize that was post #1000. Cool. They've been releasing all their songs as digital singles over the past year and just compiled them into an album. My favorites have been All is In You, Only One and The Last Word (Saigono Hitokoto) and now, Guess Who? Speaking of CUBE, BTOB released another Japanese EP, Dear Bride. I really like the title track TAEMIN I didnt see it posted, but did you check out his full album debut? I missed it as I was in Australia and wasnt keeping up but I saw the PYN video today and like it better than Danger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matt Posted March 16, 2016 Members Share Posted March 16, 2016 Oh? BEAST's new Japanese album is actually on iTunes? I didn't think the Japanese releases ever got iTunes releases here. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/guess-who/id1091883660 And, out of curiosity, I checked on the new BTOB Japanese EP, as well. The whole EP isn't on iTunes, but the single "Dear Bride" IS! https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/dear-bride-single/id1087665990 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
