Just because I love calling them that And I’m really considering making it a theme

I always liked 4Minute. Sure I made fun of HyunAh a lot (HyunAjumma!) but it was playful teasing honestly, and out of the horde of girl groups out there…. Man, are they most promising. They’re recent song “Muzik” is so much fun to just boogy down to, and what a refreshment after that horrible music video I just saw ( La ChA Ta Ta TA(?) )

Now THATS a car, f(x), effects, or whatever your name is, take note.

And I must say, now  THIS is a HOT comeback stage, behold “Muzik” on KBS MusicBank:

The crowd is loving it

I never really had the chance to say this about them, but these girls are confident, have attitude and hella stage presence to back it up. Looking at that performance, you wouldn’t think this is their 2nd single promotions,  looks more like they’ve been in the biz for a while. I don’t know why everybody’s talking about 2NE1s “stage presence”, which I think is non-existent, these girls give it off, while I feel nothing when 2NE1 performs, I’d much rather listen to their songs.

They’re the full package when it comes to performers. Appealing voices, stage presence and have some decent dance skills. JiYoon is a STAR and thank the lord they stopped HyunA from that squeaky singing and she stuck to how shes meant to sound. Bearable.

I see a lotta potential, and just because I like them…

The one in the middle reminds me of what SNSDs YoonA used to look like….

Back on track, girls brought funky back, what do you think?

Since Fabia.O can’t bear to talk about these girls (well, four of them are) anymore, I thought I’d check them out.

And then I realised why I didn’t check f(x) out in the first  place…. Check out their debut M/V… “LA chA TA”? (AHAHAHAH, it’s like those kids online tHaT WriTe LikE tHiS)

Whats with the side kicking in the beginning?… Well, at least its classier than forward kicking with skirts on(cough-SNSD-cough)

OH! How I cringed in the beginning. The song makes no sense to me as well, and the whole random semi-circus theme… wtf? I see what they’re trying to do but it just ended up looking really messy in the end, and the crappy song doesn’t help.

Also looking at the pictures of their showcase, all I could think was “Is that 4Minute gone a little slaggy?”

The more I look at Amber, the more I think shes just a JiYoon (4Minute) rip-off but manlier (And is it me, or does she, Amber that is, look a little like Big Bangs T.O.P?). While JiYoon is a tomboy yet still feminine, Amber on the other hand looks like a very confused him-she and even plays the role of a guy in the song (Listen to the rap O_O).

We know who she was based on now…

And my favourite androgynous female in Kpop will always be Lexy (Where is she anyway?).

Eh, I see no pizazz with this group, they’re dancing in the music video isn’t even in-sync, and that’s supposed to be the most precise. And by the looks of it, their vocals aren’t that great either, Luna’s the most decent out of them all, even the supposed  “Amazing dancer”  that is Victoria Song. And God knows how they’re going to be live, with the track record that SM has, especially with females (Well, to be fair,  just SNSD, they still can’t get it right to this day), but we’ll see, eh?

All in all, they’re pretty bla to me.  Anybody give a damn?

and so am I.

I think POminute (4Minute to be accurate) are quite promising, and I do like them, so when news broke out of them releasing their new single with a fabulous new teaser I was excited. I mean, something has got to clean out the sour taste in my mouth after the awful f(x) teaser.

They are also looking fierce! Although HyunAjumma can get annoying at times, she is actually one of the liveliest of the group, and her history in Wonder Girls was probably why they’re in demand so much with CFs. They just got themselves a Sony Walkman gig and are pretty much picking up all the CF deals that Wonder Girls dropped off. Lucky girls, that’s a nice chunk of change to get although they’re paid less than the WGs. 4Minute had a shaky debut stage but they recovered and started to improve daily with their confidence and performances, and that deserves kudos.

Nevertheless, I have my copy of the album and it’s a fun dance album, with a medium tempo (or two), making it almost Pussycat Dolls-esque but Koreanified.

(Speaking of Korean Pussycat Dolls, I miss After School, initially they were one of the most fun on stage girl group this year, they lit up the stage every time they performed and I liked it. Somehow they disappeared with the barrage of girl groups this summer, and I have missed them, even though their leader freaked me out.)

Back to 4Minute, check out the hot teaser:

“Boom boom boom naked naked, boom boom boom Naked AH!”

What? You didn’t hear “naked”?

Bring it on girls and show em what your made of.

MALFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY

Oh G-Dragon! We know what film YOU’VE been watching/looking forward to this summer. A lot of people have been criticizing/gossiping about Big Bangs’ Sir Leader, G-Dragon, regarding his apparently not so original music or image (Plagiarism accusations, HEY YEAOW!). But I think they’ve totally got it wrong when they say he’s channelling Lee JunKi in his album concept, especially after I’ve seen the video…

Hes on his own… and stolen all their lip gloss by the looks of it

Lol, his yelping in the beginning strangely reminded me of 4Minute’s HyunAh (AKA HyunAjjuma ).

G-D could play the Asian Draco Malfoy. If there were to ever be a Korean version of Harry Potter, I nominate G-D for the role.

I really really can’t stop watching the Music Video, I don’t know why but his lips…. control me. And not in the good way, that hysterical type of hypnosis way…

But back on topic, the video is so obviously, right-in-your-face literal, its funny. It’s called “Heart breaker” and its set in a heart, this ShaBANG is loving the pun! Other than that, I’m really digging this song and the choreography, watching that skinny boy run on the spot is hilarious.

Although at 3:29 it gets a little… erotic weird O_O

But…. It’s a shame he didn’t don the blue lipstick after all. That would’ve been interesting/a good laugh, and Joey would’ve been proud!

P.s. Happy Birthday!

Wannabe gangster on the loose!

HyunAjumma is on the prowl and ready to flip the fingers and verbally abuse anyone in her way,

HyunAjumma ain’t gonna take s**t from nobody, nobody including you~

She’s gonna scream profanities at your grandma,

Get ROST!

Steal your little sisters cuddlies,

I like pink, I do

And Skip off for another day of mayhem tomorrow!

Imma sleep well tonight!

Oh HyunAh! If you were really like that I would like you more. Juvenile Delinquency never was this funny…

The other members are really starting to grow on me, but I still can’t help but watch you make a fool of yourself every other day.

Thank you for that great nickname ShaBANG I can’t call her any other name now.

These guys recently dropped by Maybees’ KBS radio show for an interview/tag along and who would you figure looks the youngest?

Idol group pick and mix!

From left to right, Super Junior magnae Kyuhyun (1988), Karas Nicole (1991), POHminute (Ok, 4minutes) HyunAh (1992), Maybee (1979 ) and 2PMs JaeBom (1987).

I thought HyunAh aged about 8 years in this photo. She should not be standing between Maybee and Nicole, and do I spy a new nose? Or face shape? I barely recognised her with 4minutes pics, she’s starting to look like Bae SeulGi to me, or is it just the horrible hair style/color that’s aging her?

Tip: Drink a lot of water and use sunscreen. Some tinted moisturizer with SPF50 could probably be the best investment you’ve ever made HyunAjumma!
