Did 4Minute plagiarize?
Or should I say, Cube Entertainment? It’s such an unoriginal heading around here but I couldn’t help it. And for that matter, I don’t mean it in its most explicit sense. While “MUZIK” is climbing the charts, I think the rest of 4Minute‘s mini album deserves some airtime. I’m not sure about the critiques being [...]
Who Is The Best Female Idol Group Rapper?
Over 3,000 netizens have spoken through an online poll of over 9,000; and the one and only Brown Eyed Girl Miryo has prevailed. Brown Eyed Girl’s lone rapper has been “spittin” in the Kpop world since the group’s debut in 2006. Sadly, in my opinion, up until now she has been severely overlooked and underrated [...]
2PM: Some Photoshop Fun
I love Photoshop and I especially love the wonderfully crazy things that people can and do, “photoshop”. (C’mon, admit it-you’ve totally photoshopped yourself holding hands with with your idol crushes! Or, stuck your head onto your favorite idol’s hot bod!) One thing-well, 8 things, actually, that I love more than Photoshop, however, are fashion and [...]
W nets it with G-D and 2PM
A hefty dose of eye candy came hurling my way when I finally got to sit down and catch up on K-pop. Due to some overseas commitments, I was left with no internet = no Seoulbeats over the last few days and boom I discover these when I’m back. As the title reads, W magazine’s [...]
Girls’ Generation Does Alice in Glamour-land
Upon thoughtful reflection, I realized that I had been long neglecting our loyal XY chromosomal contingent of Seoulbeats readers (if you’re out there, let us know!!). I very regularly post effusive remarks praising the earthly wonders that are highly attractive male KPOPstars, but very seldom do the same for your tastes. Hence, I feel that [...]
TOP kills me dead
Readers, I have come back from the dead to write this post. I owe TOP that much, after doing this sexy black and white photoshoot with Elle. Overall the set-ups in this pictorial doesn’t make very much sense – but it doesn’t have to. This is TOP we’re talking about. Blue Steel! He has kind [...]
G-Dragon celebrates his birthday with Nylon
It’s for the magazine’s September issue but with an August publication that meant leeway for two birthday celebrations. As everyone should know by now, the celebrated fashionista of K-pop released his first solo project yesterday, on his birthday and among preparations for that he found time to grace the cover of Nylon’s 1st anniversary edition. [...]
Casker sings for Chanel
During our SB downtime, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Casker‘s Chanel tie-in single and had a few days of listening enjoyment. The electronic duo comprising of Lee Yoong Jin and DJ Lee Juno are back with the song ” 향 (Scent)” for French film “Coco avant Chanel”. The movie stars Audrey Tautou in [...]
Op-Ed: What makes K-poppers tick?
This may seem a little redundant but I felt it was time to address the issue of what is becoming quite apparent in K-pop. This comes after K-pop’s seen strong forerunners like Shinhwa, Fin.K.L, S.E.S and H.O.T and has much to do with the mish-mash of pop being generated in the current youth-dominated music scene. [...]
2PM’s Jaebum Is Just A Good Christian Boy!
…….Yeah, with a pure heart and a sinful body! In an interview for Christiandaily.com 2PM’s leader JaeBODY, I mean Jaebum, revealed his deep passion for his fans, his career as an idol, and his faith. Throughout the interview Jaebum demonstrates the brutal honesty that 2PM members have become known for when asked about his struggles [...]
