My new found respect for 2NE1
2NE1 just released “Ugly” today and after reading the translation literally I must admit I was disappointed. I am a very literal person I don’t like to dig around and run in circles for things that I feel should be obvious. After stepping back and going “maybe it’s not meant to be taken literally,” my respect for 2NE1 sky rocketed.
After sitting back and...

Goodbye Baby Goodbye [Korean Lesson]
Oh my gosh, this song is a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I am going to make no secret of the fact I’m not exactly a JY ENT fan. I tried and I failed, however, Jia and orange hair, along with this song, may make me a Say A very, very soon.
Miss A -Goodbye Baby
This song is so addictive! So I decided I want to pick apart some Korean from their interview with Naver.

Album to Avoid: W&Whale - "Circus"
Before I duck and hide from the rocks that I am sure will be thrown at me for saying to avoid anything W&Whale…please at least read my review. Do know that I’m not saying the band is bad…I’m saying this particular piece of work by them is avoid-worthy.
I didn’t purposely pick this mini-album to blast it. On the contrary, I picked this group because they fit...

Music You Might Have Missed: Rumble Fish - I love...
Have you ever had the feeling of regret after listening to something for the first time and it’s like “why didn’t I get into this band sooner?” This is that song. I’ve heard of Rumble Fish but I never checked them out and this was my first time listening to anything by them…or should I say her. Rumble Fish used to be an actual band-band but all of the...

Dear Kpop Fans: Stop Feeding the Trolls
Please allow me to stand on my soap box for a moment, thank you. Remember this blog is also for my Korea related thoughts.
Little annoys me more on the internet than the out-right troll feeding that takes place in anything related to Korean pop culture. Kpop fans WILL always take the bait. This seems to be a without fail fact. Then they [Kpop fans] will make comments just as hateful...

Music You Might Have Missed: Harasora - It's You
I have made it a personal mission to listen to artists that aren’t as well known as the obvious idols. Welcome to a new section titled “Music You Might Have Missed”. Hopefully, everyone’s knowledge of the Kpop scene will grow.
Korean Title: 바로 너야 (Feat. 로라)
Translation: It’s You (Feat. Lora)
Side Note: Google translate puts it as “You’re the...

Bubble Pop! Yes or No?
Bubble bubble pop!
Warning: Contains the word slut…more than once.
For me: Yes. Bubble Pop is a catchy, fun song that I have had on repeat since it came out. I’m in love with this song. In fact mini album review coming soon. :)
The cons…
…it has kpop fans all riled up with the slut shaming even though she does nothing too off the wall. There was a couple of...

Bonjour à tous!
Hello everyone! I’ve been off enjoying summer, and you? I hope things are going well!
Side note: I had a really long post full of all my favorite songs for the summer originally but when I hit the enter button it deleted the whole post! I’m kind of angry needless to say. I’ll remake the post but do know that this was originally that post.
