Miss A releases "Goodbye Baby" MV

Immediately after releasing their newest single "Goodbye Baby", Miss A released the stunning MV for the single.  Amping up their sass from "Bad Girl Good Girl", "Goodbye Baby"'s MV is much more breathtaking and mature.  Miss A is shown being rejected by a manager, who thinks that Miss A is not worthy.  The girls get back by putting him in a tank and slowly drowning him.

Very different from the other MVs Miss A released, "Goodbye Baby" is well-directed with a strong storyline and choreography.

MV AND LYRICS UNDER THE CUT

Good bye, baby good bye, turn around and go on

Just don’t say a word, disappear as it is, baby good bye, good bye

My name isn’t Suzy, but you keep calling me that

I should’ve know back then, but I wanted to believe you as much as possible

I know how immature you are. Don’t cry in vain

I’ll throw away all your stuff. Quit acting now

Good bye, baby good bye, turn around and go on

Just don’t say a word, disappear as it is

Good bye, baby good bye, thing it was good and fun

But we’re done right here. Your show is now over, baby good bye, good bye

My friends all told me and back then I never really listened

Why can I really tell if the way you look at me is sincere or not?

Your acting really surprised me

Because I was so surprised, in the end I stopped crying

Good bye, baby good bye, turn around and go on

Just don’t say a word, disappear as it is

Good bye, baby good bye, thing it was good and fun

But we’re done right here. Your show is now over, baby good bye, good bye

There will be no whining sound from you anymore

The snake passed the wall and gently betrayed me

It was quite an amazing show that I watched, even without buying a ticket

I just didn’t get this spot for free, no. Now it’s bye bye

Good bye, baby good bye, turn around and go on

Just don’t say a word, disappear as it is

Good bye, baby good bye, thing it was good and fun

But we’re done right here. Your show is now over, baby good bye, good bye

Miss A releases full audio for "Goodbye Baby"

Miss A just released the full audio for their newest single "Goodbye Baby" 2 hours ago through their official Facebook page.  The song is a mix of the 2 teaser versions released in the past week; it's a mix of electronic/rock/pop.  The song is strong throughout with a consistent beat.

What will Miss A's choreography look like with such a strong song?

BTW. Miss A's Jia's rap is amazing ~

Big Bang is splitting up . . . again!

Big Bang is set to make a return to Kpop, not as a group this time, but as individual artists.  YG Entertainment stated that "excluding Daesung, all of the members are currently preparing for their solo albums.  The member who completes their album first will make their comeback first."

YG seems to respect the talents of each member of Big Bang, as this is not the first time that Big Bang has worked separately (GD and TOP/Taeyang and GD have worked as a duo, Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri have released successful solo careers).

G-Dragon has already started his activities -- he flew almost immediately to Japan to work on his solo album.  GD had started his work secretly and did not announce it publicly.  It is known if they other members have started their work or are keeping their work a secret.

But now it seems like it's time for a little friendly competition...
Totally random and equally chanced...
WHO DO YOU THINK WILL COME BACK FIRST?

MBLAQ releases "Mona Lisa" MV teaser

UPDATE: WATCH MV HERE


Five-member boy band MBLAQ has just released a teaser for their newest track "Mona Lisa".  The teaser features an accordion solo that feeds into an electronic beat -- a strange combination that sounds unmistakably Italian.  

The Mona Lisa in the MV appears to be a young women in a red hot dress walking towards MBLAQ.

The mini-album Mona Lisa is set to be released July 12th online and July 15th in stores.  This mini-album release will mark MBLAQ's first activity since January, when MBLAQ released their first full album, BLAQ Style.  

Mona Lisa = 30 x 21 inches valued over $700 million.  Is the girl in the red dress comparable? Maybe just maybe. 

ZE:A releases "Watch Out!" MV

ZE:A just released the MV for their title track "Watch Out" which it part of their newest album of the same name.  The MV is about ZE:A singing to their fangirl.  The underlying theme/message is confessing one's love for another: Watch out, there's a man who only looks at you.

Rainbow releases "Sweet Dream" MV

Rainbow just released their "Sweet Dream" after a 45 second teaser released only a couple days ago. The MV features no choreography; they must be saving it for their comeback performance.  Fans praise the  MV for properly featuring all seven members equally, something that is hard to do with the whole group dancing together.  Fans also praised the quality and effects in the video.

Rainbow comebacks on June 23rd on M!Net Countdown.  They plan to debut in Japan in September of this year.

T-ara's new leader Hyomin releases comeback photos

T-ara's new leader, Hyomin, released vintage photos of their new album Roly-Poly.  The style is from the 70s and 80s in the U.S.  Hyomin is being promoted as T-ara's leader before their debut in Japan. The retro concept has been circling around K-pop for the past year now.  Wonder Girl's "Different Tears", SECRET's "Shy Boy", and SNSD's "Hoot" all showcase the retro style.  SECRET members complained that they failed to understand the concept behind their own MV, which was understandable because they never experienced such culture.  Hopefully T-ara will find success in their comeback on July 1st. 

Funny, I'm pretty sure the adidas logo didn't look like that in the 70s and 80s.

F.T. Island releases "Hello Hello" MV

F.T. Island released the MV for their new song "Hello Hello" that is a part of their album RETURN!.  The MV revolves around main vocalist, Hongki, trying to the rest of F.T. Island from inside a burning building.  Fans speculate that this plot may have to do with the fact that F.T. Island's dorm caught fire because of a computer monitor overheating.  The fire occurred only a few weeks ago on May 3rd.

The style of the song is just like most of their other songs.  It could be classified as rock music/indie to as narrow of a topic as garage rock.  The music has a faster tempo and is much more upbeat.

According to the translated lyrics from InfoTaip, the song is about the inability to say goodbye to a loved one, which does not seem to match with the plot of the MV.  Maybe Hongki really loves his group?

CHECK OUT THE LYRICS AND MV UNDER THE CUT




Saying goodbye, Hello hello Now goodbye goodbye
I mean, I mean, you’re the one I love
I mean I can’t forget you
I mean come back to me again
No, it’s not time to come
I really loved you,
Listen up I
Nobody Nobody Nobody no one, there’s no one like you
Maybe this will keep strong and in 10 years, there’s still no one like you
I mean, I’m an idiot to only look at you
Today, I wanna shout to you

Saying goodbye, Hello hello Now goodbye goodbye
I keep trying to forget you, but I can’t
I hello hello oh you goodbye goodbye
I mean, until now I love you
I mean, I mean, I wanna see you
I mean, I can’t send you away
I mean, please don’t go away
I still love you
Listen up I

I came to say goodbye
Saying that I love you made a fool out of me
I can’t forget all the times we spent together, and so I went away
You’re not the only one for me
You’re just another one saying goodbye
Look at me and tell me a lie
I really mean you should leave me now

Saying goodbye, Hello hello Now goodbye goodbye
I keep trying to forget you, but I can’t
I hello hello oh you goodbye goodbye
I mean, until now I love you
Everybody say lalala
Everybody say hahaha
Everybody say tatata
Everybody say hello hello hello

When I call for you, hello
When you call for me, goodbye
We have different sad greetings
Because I love you Hello hello no goodbye goodbye
Even when you’re far away you are still my love
I hello hello oh you goodbye goodbye
I’m crying today, crying for your greeting
Hello hello now Goodbye goodbye
I mean, until now I love you

Code-V releases "Tell You Honestly" teaser

Code-V, who debuted as Bless in 2007 with little success and debuted again in 2010 with Addiction, now returns with a new song "Tell You Honestly".  The teaser "Tell You Honestly" features more choreography than singing, suggesting that their comeback will consist of dancing skills than singing skills (while we're sure that they can demonstrate both)

Bless/Code-V's debut ended abruptly when the group could not get enough sales or promotion.  It seems that Code-V only has limited success as Bless because of a lack of promotion, not talent (view Code-V/Bless's 2007 debut album along with the teaser under the cut).

In 2010, Code-V faced another obstacle when their leader, Taemin, left them.  Taemin was replaced with Seo Min Ho, who boasts a vocal ability that can match Code-V's level of performance.

Code-V is now playing the underdog; the group is has been struggling since their debut, trying to get their hard work recognized in the K-pop scene.  Although they have been faced with an unusual amount of obstacles, Code-V has still been able to persevere.  

Code-V's comeback performance is more critical than ever for their success as a group.  Will they be able to perform well without Taemin? Can they successfully promote their music and set themselves apart from the rest of the new K-pop groups?  K-pop Central authors wish them the best.

Heo Young Saeng Makes a Comeback Stage on MB

After releasing his mini album and music video, he made his comeback stage on Music Bank today. He performed Out the Club and Let It Go, both from his new album.

Unfortunately, you can see that he still has a bandage on his wrist. A few days before the release of his album, he has hurt his wrist which forced him to push back his album release date. Despite his hurt wrist, he released the album and music video last Wednesday. He still participated in variety shows such as Running Man and Happy Together. They have both episodes been released already.

In the music video and live performance, Hyuna from 4minute had rapped for the song "Let it Go". However she was not able to participate in the live performance and MV. Park Ju Hyun, the girl in the video, did a good job lip syncing to Hyuna's rapping. Hopefully Hyuna will be able to participate in one of the live performances.

Below is the performance:

missA releases "Love Alone" track

missA released their first English song "Love Alone"! This is a major change from what they have been doing before.  missA has an accent, but this is understandable as this is their first English album. Subscribe to J.Y. Park here.

It has been revealed that missA will perform "Love Alone" for Kim Yu-na, a Gold Medalist Figure Skater (hence the picture of a figure skater on the song's cover artwork), who will be performing on May 6th in a show titled "KCC SWITZEN All That Skate Spring 2011".  The performance will be in Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul.

J.Y. Park teased fans with a 10 second teaser 2-3 days ago (check under cut with track) that gave fans a chance to listen to missA's new song.

Big Bang's Comeback

YG Entertainment recently announced that Big Bang will be making their comeback to Korea on the 24th of February. Instead of releasing a full album for their comeback, Big Bang will be releasing a mini album. Many fans became upset after hearing about the release of a mini album for the comeback. Don't fret about this though, YG also stated that Big Bang will come out with another mini album sometime this year.

K-Pop November Comebacks

Who is coming back this November in K-pop?  The two big names to look out for are Big Bang and Orange Caramel.  Big Bang has been with out an entire album release for two years now, but their comeback should be in a few weeks according to G-Dragon, who told fans that the album was almost finished last month.  The group has thanked their fans for waiting for them.

MORE UNDER THE CUT


Another smaller K-pop group, Orange Caramel, plans to release their second mini-album on November 18th.  Their title song will be "Aing♡" and has the concept of some kind of mystical... book and Disney.  Orange Caramel seems to target for a cuter and younger image than their big sister group After School.  After School will come back December 2nd, not too long after Orange Caramel.  The concept for After School has not been mentioned, however.

Other comeback dates...
T-ara - December
SISTAR and their third single - Sometime SOON!
MBLAQ - January

SHINee's "Hello" Teaser

Fangirls go crazy.... NOW! SHINee has had a lot of activity recently! They have just finished "Lucifer" promotions, but they have just started teasing with their song "Hello".  The song's concept seems to be much happier and brighter than "Lucifer" and shows SHINee's range of talent.  The clothing seems casual and laid-back and SHINee looks happy like usual xD.  So... why don't you check out the video teaser...

Beast's "SOOM" MV Released

BEAST has just released their MV "SOOM" on Youtube! They have finally come back! The MV begins with a ballad-like feel with slow moves, but interchanges later in the song with a ballad feel and a hard-core dark amp sound... yes, a dark amp sound (I don't know how else to explain it).  BEAST has returned with some kind of military/noir theme for their comeback. After watching the MV and listening to the song, I'm thinking a better title would be "I Can't Breathe" or "Breathe."  Now, wouldn't that be confusing? Cough cough.

2NE1 Overworked And Disrespected

Although I'm personally really biased against posting about allkpop motherblog posts (anyone can go to their motherblog and read whatever), I wanted to post rant about two articles on their website.  One article states that Park Bom is in the hospital from being overworked; the other states that 2NE1 was hogging up too much time on SBS's Inkigayo.

Viewers complained that they were watching 2NE1 the whole time and that they'd rather watch other rookie bands ... Well, if they were complaining about it; there's an easy solution to this: turn the channel.

Companies complained about favoritism to YG Entertainment ... SBS runs their own TV show, you don't like what's there? Find another TV entertainment company.

What's terrible is that Park Bom is receiving an IV drip because she was overworked.  She's working hard to make a good come back for 2NE1 and their fans.  The least we can do is say thank you. :D

2NE1 Releases "Go Away" MV

2NE1 released their "Go Away" MV and the video was very well done, in my opinion.  In the MV, CL acts as the race car driver girlfriend of an abusive boyfriend.  As the song's name goes, 2NE1 wants  for CL's boyfriend to "Go Away."  This MV involves the HITTING OF CL, WTF. Luckily, the guy gets what's coming to him at the end. What is it? You have to watch the MV to find out.
