[KPOP] T-ARA to Debut in Japan!

But they didn’t even debut in Korea that long ago T_T. But on the brightside, more interactions with Supernova!

Six-member girl group T-ara will be making their Japanese debut in March, according to their agency Core Contents Media on Tuesday.

The girls will fly into Japan on Sunday for a five-day stay during which they are scheduled to hold a press conference regarding their single album as well as shoot a commercial with boy band Supernova.

Both K-pop idols were cast for the commercial by a company in the restaurant business, said to be highly popular amongst youngsters, which holds numerous chains throughout Japan.

Core Contents Media said the singing groups will each receive a minimum guarantee of one billion won, equivalent to about 87 thousand dollars.

T-ara made their debut last year with a song for the soundtrack of MBC drama “Cinderella Man.” The girls then released their debut single “Lies.”

The girls and boy band Supernova had collaborated on the digital single “TTL (Time to Love)” and “TTL Listen 2″ which topped music charts during the latter half of last year.

T-ara took their first solo win with “Bo Peep Bo Peep” from their first full-length album early this year, taking the top awards on music programs by Korea’s major broadcasters.

[KPOP] After School Comeback in March!

OMG seriously? March and April are gonna be crazy months. But seeing as After School is my favorite girl group, i’m seriously looking forward to it!

After School’s leader Park Kahi, recently had an interview with ISPLUS and it was revealed that towards the end of this month, Kahi will be cutting down on variety show appearances to prepare for After School’s upcoming mini-album.

In addition, After School who was awarded the title of K-pop’s rookie of the year at the Billboard Japan Music Awards back in January, has plans to enter the surrounding Asian markets.

Park Kahi stated:

“I realized we have a lot more overseas fans than we thought. The goal this year is to bring After School overseas. Once we achieve that goal, I plan to enter various fields. Writing and composing, even producing music, I want to jump into those fields. As for acting? Of course. In about 3 more years, I should be able to. Anyway, I’ll be showing lots of growth and experience.”

SNSD, T-ara, KARA and now After School… the new year is starting off with a Big Bang!

[KPOP] T-ARA ‘I Go Crazy Because of You’ Full Track Released!

Actually, it sounds a lot like ‘If U Seek Amy’ / ‘Womanizer’  by Britney Spears to me… But it’s the type of song that gets stuck in my head after a while. I like ‘I’m Really Hurt’ better. And i love their style now! especially their rings. ^^

 

The title song for T-ARA’s first repackaged album ‘Braking Heart’ has been reviled! Along with new song ‘I’m Really Hurt.’

[KPOP] New Group: Sponge Band

oooh, i’m excited. ^^

A hot new 5-member band called Sponge Band will be debuting soon. And with a name like that, who could possibly hate them?

With all due seriousness though, they sound really good – kind of an F.T Island vibe, but what’s even more interesting is that they’re a co-ed group! There’s definitely a lack of co-ed groups in k-pop lately, so I’m pretty excited about this one.

Sponge Band’s first mini-album will be titled, “The Beginning” and it will drop on February 19th. The members are, Oh Song (오송), Ga On (가온), K# (키샵), Soo Yeon (수연) and Chung Ah (청아

[KPOP] Big Bang’s G-Dragon Talks About Producer Yang HyunSuk

So once YG Entertainment’s President Yang Hyun Seok decided the song G-Dragon had written for himself, ‘Lies’ would be used as a Big Bang song, G-Dragon started to rewrite it for the group.

”I felt so weak knowing I had to rewrite it from the beginning. Still, I did it and showed the other members, worried about whether they’d like it or not. It was a lot different to the music we’d done til then so at first the members just looked really blank after hearing it. I was sitting there quietly thinking ‘They don’t like it? Oh well I can’t do anything about that. Then Taeyang said ‘Let’s do it!’”

G-Dragon still doesn’t know what emotions the other members felt at the time. Just the fact that he was letting them hear a song he had written for his own solo made him nervous. In other words, he was worried about what the other members might think of the piece he had written based on his own taste.
