K-Pop (General Discussion)

4Minute and their producers supposedly plagiarized this song for Crazy.

That would be, no. According to Knife Party.

I'm enjoying Unpretty Rapstar, but the lack of freestyle and ridiculous editing is a downer. The "who will pick which track' segment was the worst display of squeezing every ounce of content for suspense I have ever witnessed. Jidam is my favorite so far followed by Cheetah and Jimin. Let's hope it can get close to the reality greatness that was VH1's Miss Rap Supreme.
 
Yeah I was thinking you'd like it! THat's the product of working on a track for a year, I guess. Not sure why the Korean scene isn't making more out of these amazing DIY artists.

Another pretty solid indie release

Dang nice find. Downloading this as well.
 
I like it too! Are cross earrings a thing now? They're like everywhere ... G.Low is pretty much the only attractive member now. BornUs still definitely gives me the creeps. I don't know if I'll get over it.

Sorry if I'm just completely oblivious but why are Miss A up that high? Did they even release anything last year?

I'm still so in love with Jonghyun's Love Belt, it's probably my favorite song so far this year.

I was dying at that part. I know reality TV is always melodramatic, but jeeeeeeeeeez.
 
EXID released a new version of Up&Down for some new LG phone. I'm getting flashbacks of 2009, when cell phone endorsements were all the rage in kpop.

I think with proper investment like they did with Bang! 5 years ago, After School could come back on everyone's radar. They have so much more to give, it's just the dumb fucks who don't know how to properly manage a group at all.

Girls Generation are releasing a new Japanese single - Catch Me If You Can on April 22nd.

Described as a upbeat dance track. Praying for something to match Mr Taxi!
 
4Minute won on M! Countdown. Well deserved. I'm so happy for them and still completely blown away by Crazy, song, video and performances.
 
Fiestar performed their song "live" and it looks and sounds great.

Also, Cora has left Lip Service. What a shame. They seemed really promising, but it appears the company didn't agree with her over something.
