. Stupid hair aside, I love this.

THIS IS WONDERFUL! So captivated by this. Did he do anymore Christmas songs in English?

First off, this Junhyung development reminded me of Monstar, which I still have to watch the last two episodes of LMAO! So sorry.

This is so awesome. I really like Flower and hearing the more relaxed side of Seolchan's voice! So proud to see this happening! Really sad this is only a mini album but grateful nonetheless. Im sure more is in store for 2014. I have to download this asap.

Good comparison to Monstar. I love that he has the light brown hair, he had in in that show, as it suits him better than the darker style he's been sporting. I cant wait to hear what you think about Caffeine (Piano ver) and Anything (possibly my favorite)

I didn't post that before but Cube released a Christmas video featuring their artists. Very well done. The hair on Dong-woon, Gikwang and HyunA looks like sh-t though. Ewww!

2PM

Speaking of these guys, they will release their third Japanese album next month. Like all their other Japanese album photoshoots, this is great

Republic of 2PM

Legend of 2PM

The first song and video is Step by Step

Nothing overly special about this. Its pretty much the guys goofing off and having fun. I really like the chemistry between them

Hmmmm, I never looked. Just saw that one posted

Woah. This one in particular got me! They sound amazing live. That song is enchanting; for some reason it reminds me of that magical moment at Disneyland when your watching the fireworks at the end. LOL. Love love love it.

Your boy Taecyeon wasn't given a real chance to shine in this one!

Glad you like it. Its okay about TY. He's not a singer and it wouldn't work well if they had him rapping here. Probably a good thing they got his part out first bc he's the weakest part of that song. Junho though? Love him on that chorus

The group is great in their live performances. I wish I could find a clip of "I'll be Back" from their Legend of 2PM concert bc the choreography on that is amazing

The black/blonde look actually works for GD. I see Taeyang is full blonde now which is even worse! He looks disheveled especially in that wide shot. MESSY!

I love Taeyang's current hair...lol. BTW, he debuted a new song at a concert a few weeks ago. Hope its his next single

OMG, you guys had a K-Pop party while I was gone

A lot to catch up on.

I just recently saw 2PM half-naked and realized that I haven't given them a fair shot.

OMG, yes, I should check out their music lol

LMAO at them making fun of his hair. Love it.

Junhyung

Everything about his new mini album is PERF! The Caffeine piano remix made me cry and its a tossup between Anything & Flower for my fave. Slow is really good too

gross

ETA: Warning 2PM overload

Have no idea why Nichkhun is crying but love how Junho comforts him. What a beautiful touching moment. I love this

YES

Thats a rendition of their "I'll Be Back" performance from the concert they did. While not as grand the choreography is the same. Amazing what they did with like 30 people on stage

Remix to "Comeback When You Hear This Song" that they did at the KBS Christmas Special last week. I love this version to the song. Love Taecyeon's "Merry Christmas everybody!" part

Thats "Breakthrough" from the Legend concert I viewed. I really like the song but also the costumes they wore. Very beautiful.

F--kable

OMG, DEAD at this. LOL....I think you're wrong about Doom Dada but cant argue with the rest, especially GD's

Here's an update on Taeyang. His album now drops in March

K-Pop group BIG BANG’s Taeyang and T.O.P will release a solo album respectively in March of next year.

Major media outlets in Japan paid keen attention to the news of their solo albums coming out, reporting the news under the title of “BIG BANG member Sol (Taeyang’s Japanese name)’s Solo Debut in Japan & T.O.P’s Package Release”.

So far, BIG BANG members have released solo albums one by one. Daesung, Sseungri, and G-Dragon who have all recently released solo albums, have all recorded success in Japan. Taeyang, the fourth member among BIG BANG, will release his first solo album in Japan on March 14th, next year.

In his first solo album, a Japanese version of “RINGA LINGA” will be included. “RINGA LINGA” is a unique song where a variety of genres such as dubstep and electro are mixed based on a trap bass. It had attracted keen attention even before release, as G-DRagon was known to have taken part in the production.

On the same day, T.O.P will also release a special album. “DOOM DADA”, his recent release in Korea and four other solo songs that have been disclosed so far, as well as “DOOM DADA”s music video will be put into the album.

Meanwhile, BIG BANG has been holding a six dome tour in Japan recently. It is the first time for a foreign artist to do so. After a concert at Tokyo Dome on the 19th to 21st of this month, BIG BANG moves on to Sapporo Dome on January 4th, and then wraps up “BIG BANG JAPAN DOME TOUR 2013-2014” by holding their last concert in Osaka Kyocera Dome on January 11th to 13th.

Its coming to Japan then; maybe earlier in Korea?

Id love it if these two did something together

Taeyang and GD performed together last week. Taeyang did his new song 1AM, GD did Crooked and then joined Tae for Ringa Linga and they finished off with Bad Boy. I really like the new song and they need to hurry up and release it as a single already

Taeyang's looking busted but I do like the new song too. Im still waiting for the next Seungri video though

Last summer I said I was going to try and listen to BtoB bc they made up Junhyung's backup singers in Monstar, but I never really did till now and I quite like them! Cube doesn't seem to promote them as much as Beast. They've been around for about 2 years and only 3 mini-albums, not even a full one yet. The material they do have is good though

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcWqVTb32vI

Their photoshoot for their 2nd EP, Press Play looks very reminiscent of Beast's for Midnight Sun. Wonder if that was intentional.

EXO

I didnt realize EXO made their debut in 2012. I thought they were a new group on the scene last year. I watched their first videos from their first EP and dang these boys are talented. The MAMA video is EPIC. Its amazing how big in scale it is and that was their debut. It explains the background of the superpowers and Exo-planet which I didn't initially get

Seems the groups were actually treated as two separate entities, instead of the larger merged one. Kind of bold to only use two of your vocalists in a single but that What is Love song, is a beautiful one and they only featured the strongest singers.

I love that hair

B2ST

Oh sh-t they released a DVD for the 2013 Beautiful Show. Need.....to...find....this....now...
