5 Things I LOVED in Kpop This Week

13
Written by On September 27, 2010

What 5 Things stood out this past week in Kpop land?  A Chocolate Poker Face, Chuseok specials galore, and Comeback Madonnas.  These are the 5 things that happened in Kpop this week that I think were just a little bit more special than the rest.

F.T. Island Goes Gaga

On the latest episode of Kim Jung Eun’s Chocolate, F.T. Island performed their version of Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face.” “And baby, when it’s love- if it’s no trough it isn’t fun, fun’ (at 1:27).  I think there was a typo in the lyrics there, lol.  Hong-ki’s English wasn’t bad either, it’s not like you can understand every word Lady Gaga sings either.

The Baker King’s got Talent

After completing its run last week, the cast of the Baker King, Kim Tak-gu held a Chuseok special where they talked about the drama and some behind-the-scenes information.  They also shared with everyone their special skills, did you know Yoon-Si-yoon could sing too?

And Joo Won, too.

The two actors that played Kim Tak-gu  (Oh Jae-moo and Yoon Si-yoon) also had a dance off that was pretty cute.

Love is Tuna

The Fantasy Star Couple Chuseok Special had a lot of entertaining moments including some that I finally found which included salsa dancing, some Ear candy, Mazzic, and a needed girl. My fave moment had to be a challenge between the 2PM and Miss Korea team and the SHINee and Jang Yoon-jung team.  I expected some classic Nichkhun on Min-ho action, but what occurred was not the kind of action I expected.

U-Kiss the Beast

At the Idol Trot Battle, I wasn’t impressed much by the various idols’ attempts at singing trot.  What I was impressed by was a battle on the high bar between U-Kiss’ Ki-seop and Beast‘s Doo-joon.  It’s one of the best challenges for this game that I have ever seen.

Ahjummas that ROCK!

I Am Legend, the Kdrama that told the story of four ahjummas who find themselves again through rock and roll after life has beaten them down, ended this week.  Kim Jung-eun and Hong Ji-min really shined in this drama and I’m sorry to see it end.  The ending was slightly disappointing too, but I guess I can’t always have the fairy tale ending.  Here’s a clip of the comeback queens.

Those were my top 5 things I loved in Kpop this past week, were they yours?

    For me:
    1. Chuseok Dance Battle – Especially BEAST vs. MBLAQ. Seeing Lee Joon ballet really surprised me, he’s so beautiful.

    2. miss A can’t “Breathe” – Even though it only came out recently, I absolutely love the song and the MV. Watch! I’m going to learn the dance.

    3. BEAST – Just in general really. Especially since this week their MV will be coming out soon. So excited. ^^

    4. Haru – Only watched one part without subtitles but I cannot wait until it is subbed. Yunho and Big Bang…that’s a good combination.

    5. COPY & PASTE – I like the song, just waiting for the MV now.

      about Haru-if you watch it directly from korean tourism’s website, they offer subtitles… it’s the button after the play… i just can’t remember the site, google will help you… the loading time isn’t so tacky at all…

    For me;

    1) 2NE1′s performances and multiple wins. It’s great to have them back and doing so well after so long since I’ve followed them since pre-debut. I am so emotionally invested in the group it’s not even funny lol

    2) Taeyang’s Solar concert. Although i couldn’t go watch it in person, the fanaccounts, fancams and comments on AlwaysTaeyang made me very emotional to see the end of such an amazing journey in the ATY community because of Solar.

    3) Watching Playful Kiss. I started the serious at about episode 5 lol and I’ve been addicted ever since. I just love the actress who plays Oh Hani

    4) News of BEAST’s comeback. I’m excited to see what they’ll bring next. I think they are a group with a lot of potential and they are the only male group i like apart from Big Bang so i want them to succeed and make an impact :D

    5) Watching the Chuseok Idol Athletics thing. They looked like they were having fun and i loved the competitive nature of the show. It was really fun to watch :D

    1. the piggyback in PK. it literally made me squealed in joy.

    2. Moon JaeShin and his adorable hiccups…yeh, pretty self-explanatory

    3. Beast fanboy-ling over IU in chuseok dance battle. ok this one’s a bit old but i only watched it recently. the performance itself was cute but yoseob totally stole the show.

    4. Song Joonki in hot pants

    5. Bong JongGU’s new hair cut

  • SCHI

    I agree with you on the ending of I Am Legend…but never the less, still a very awesome drama. Also, my fav. performance was actually their last one, and that one they did that was interrupted by the “meat-sale” at the shopping mall/center…yahhhhhh!!!
