나만 몰랐던 이야기

나만 몰랐던 이야기/ IU

This is what i got myself into these days, IU's "The Story Only I Didn't Know" MV, released on 16 Feb.
I was really amazed by IU's 180 degree change in her style, very different from her previous "Good Day", this one is definitely a sorrowful and emotional ballad track. Yoonsang is a genius i would say, to be able to create such sad but beautiful melody with piano and other stringed instruments, and I like the way the piano sounds like a music box at the beginning.

Not mentioning IU's wonderful vocal skills, she's always been regarded as a talented young girl, but Park Bo Young's acting is another (main, i would say) highlight in this MV. She acts as an patient who was admitted to a 
psychiatric hospital and always having the illusion that her ex-lover might come to find her. I've always liked PBY's movies (she looks a bit like Helen tho), and i burst into tears every time i watch this MV, i bet people will get caught in this depressing mood either, you just can't help when seeing Park Bo Young cries in that way.

Many n
etizens think that PBY was hospitalized due to her grief over her father's death, as someone in the MV asked “Your father passed away, right?”  and PBY replies, “They all say that he’s my father, but he’s not.” However, I'm more convinced by the saying that PBY was in love with a man who is old enough to be her father, this is why people misinterpreted him as her father, in which the storyline is very much portraying to the French film "Leon" (i read abt this explanation of the story from allkpop). Besides, Loen Entertainment have stated, “The music video is merely an expression of the love between a wider age gap. Claiming it to be incestuous makes absolutely no sense.” , and I wonder how could people came up with the idea of incest from this MV -_-. 

All in all i think this is a very well-done piece of work, with all the music, acting and theme setting, it really tells a sad love story. I think Im gonna try video-making in the coming holiday, maybe the piano version of this song could make a use.

a holiday finally.
i now have sufficient time for me doing things that i wanted to, but soon realize there isnt much. except taking photos, internet, supp. classes, my schedules blank lol gosh i gto find some stuff to work wif, or i'll dry up, soon. 

Hyori's accusation for plag's reli big news, a bang i can say. I think Bahnus and Mnet should be responsible for the whole thing as Hyori most likely didn't know anything abt those stolen tracks, i feel sorry for her. Its reli sensible for her starting a new agency B2M Entertainment, before further mess are made.
btw i got excited for the Korean version of Itazura na Kiss, and Park Bo-young is the top contender !


I got some of my exm paper back today, some r nice while some r not -.- i got so frustrated in CL, this is not something i should be into -[]-

Amidst the cancellations the music programs have yet again announced this week, M! Countdown seems to be the mighty one. Today, the returned queen Lee Hyorigraced her second official stage since making her comeback with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

Compared to her first stage, which was rather hectic for many viewers, this week’s performance seems much improved. And of course, we can’t forget about the hot ‘vroom’ dance she pulls off in middle of her song! Check it out below.
It was indeed the return of the Queen as Lee Hyori claimed the #1 spot on M! Countdown this week, ending Rain’s two straight weeks of winning.

from allkpop.com

All i can give is a wow! this is just Hyoric! :D although i was expecting her comeback title song wud be something similar to U-Go-Girl or Mr. Big style that must confess i was disappointed for a sec when her title releases, but she managed to sparkle it with energy (and a wow).

Is this what we call 'Hyori effect'?? haha. But Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is no doubt another big hit for the year, so by the time let’s enjoy her amazing comeback stage and cheer for her #1 spot. ^^

SS501 "Love Like This" Live On MBC Show! Music Core


The return (or 'rebirth' i should say) of this 5men comes with their new single "Love Like This". the new song is quite different from their original style, it's lyk the kinda music found on the dance floor. :P

But what i wanted to say is their comeback new style, the LOOKS! the eyeshadow and eyeliner is way too much (ΘAΘ) ...... Twilight effect? why is eveybody looks like vampires...


Anyway, the MV teaser (and also the full version -_-) had already released in mid Oct, that is nearly two months ago (*`Д'). alright i was busying wif some kind of stuff, lyk exm... i do love the music but i reli lyk "UR Man" more. still, it's a good song.


This time Hyung Jun's got lots of shots in the mv, and parts to sing this time. but personaly their "Love Like This" dance is so-so only XP.

By the way, they performed on 091024 at the MBC Show! Music Core Comeback Stage <3 Great performance as usual ^^. but i don't know why they sang live, it was difficult as they were dancing!!! (and sweating-_-) luckily it was only the verse parts. Good show though ^^

'패밀리가 떴다'의 김종국과 이효리가 연초 연이어 가수로 컴백한다.
'Family outing's KJK and LHR is making a comeback as singers at the start of this year.

SBS 인기 예능 프로그램 '일요일이 좋다-패밀리가 떴다'(이하 '패떴')로 시청자들의 관심을 끌고 김종국과 이효리는 올 1월과 2월 각각 새 정규 음반을 발표하고 본업인 가수로 돌아온다.
KJK and LHR has caught people's attention in SBS's popular variety program 'Good Sunday- Family outing (FO), and they will be making a comeback as singers releasing their album in January and February.

김 종국 소속사 관계자는 1일 머니투데이 스타뉴스에 "김종국은 이달 안에 새 정규 음반을 낼 것"이라고 밝혔다. 이어 "아직까지 타이틀곡을 확정하지는 않았다"면서도 "이번 음반에는 김종국 표 발라드는 물론 미디움템포의 곡 등 여러 장르의 노래가 한꺼번에 실릴 것"이라고 전했다.
KJK's management rep has said 'KJK will release his official album within this month'. and also revealed that 'the title song has not been decided yet, and in this album, there will not only be KJK's trademark ballads, but also medium tempo songs, and other different genres of songs will be included in the album"

김종국이 정규 음반을 내는 것은 지난 2008년 11월 '어제 보다 오늘 더'를 타이틀곡으로 한 정규 5집 발매 이후 1년 2개월여 만이다.
It has been 1 year and 2 months since KJK is releasing his official album after his 5th official album (with Today more than yesterday as title song) in November 2008.

이효리도 연초인 2월 새 정규 음반을 선보일 예정이다.
LHR will also be coming back with the new official album in February this year.

이 효리 측 관계자는 "이효리의 새 정규 음반 작업은 현재 80% 이상 끝났으며, 2월 중으로는 솔로 4집을 발매할 예정"이라며 "새 앨범 작업에 심혈을 기울이다 보니 음반 발매 계획이 당초 계획보다는 조금 늦어졌지만, 그만큼 멋진 앨범이 탄생될 것"이라고 자신했다.
LHR's management rep has said 'LHR's new album process is 80% complete, and she will release her 4th album around February'. They have also said with confidence 'Because we were working hard on the album, the album is going to be released a bit later than originally planned, we are doing this to make sure the album will be great"

이효리가 정규 음반을 발표하는 것은 지난 2008년 7월 '유고걸'을 타이틀곡을 삼았던 3집 이후 1년 7개월 만에 처음이다.
Its been 1 year and 7months after LHR has released her official album in July 2008, with U-Go-Girl as the title track.

' 패떴'에서는 은근한 수다맨으로 통하지만 가요계에서는 감성 보컬리스트로 인정받고 있는 김종국. 역시 '패떴'에서는 털털녀의 모습을 주로 보이지만 자타공인 가요계 최고 섹시퀸인 이효리. 두 가수가 연초 가요계에도 활력을 제대로 불어 넣을 수 있을 지에 새삼 관심이 쏠린다.
KJK who is subtly talkative in FO but is recognised as a sensitive vocalist in the music industry, and LHR, who is often shown as a cool-girl image, but is recognised as the music industry's best sexy queen. It will be interesting to see if the two singers can put some energy into the music industry once again.

한편 '패떴'의 막내인 빅뱅의 대성도 올 상반기 첫 솔로 음반을 내고 가수로 팬들을 만날 예정이다.
On the other hand, Family's maknae Daesung of bigbang will also release his first solo album at the start of this year.

Memory Release and KJK <3

ahh... i've just come back from school, after my geog exam. what a relief! i can release my memory, finally -_-.
Taking about the geography paper, umm... it was okay i guess, i'm always belong to the soso-level people so... but it's easier than last year's paper, fortunately.

Actually i'm not going to talk abt my exm :D
what i wanted to say is, i fell in love with a guy....'s voice,
YO! Kim Jong Kook oppa!

This this man or i should say 한 남자 has such a great voice :) I really wanted to buy his new come back album /_\
after "사랑 스러워" and "한 남자" , another great hits this time is"어제보다 오늘 더" , my favourite, again!

It was so fun watching Family Outing with his presence, look at his muscles when he went arm wrestling XD! But it was more fun when he compete with Rain, i can't stop laughing watching that episode.

But it was sad to see Park Ye Jin and Lee Chun Hee go :( that farewell trip! I miss cinderella so much. Hope KJK and Daesung won't be leaving FO in the coming future.
