I really love these guys, I rarely post any information on new groups but there is something about them that just makes me feel really endeared to their style and music. Zico is definitely my favorite, he looks and acts like he is the love child of G-Dragon (leader of Big Bang) and CL (leader of 2NE1) and his style and rapping abilities are awesome. He is also a leader, I tend to love the leaders of the groups. But I definitely like all of these guys but my three fave’s are 1. ZICO!!!! Leader jjang! 2. Kyung 3. P.O. (yes I realize they are all rappers I tend to love the rappers).

I really wish Block B would make a music video for Wannabe, I love this track!!!! It’s so hot and it would have also been a great debut track.

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!! They are all so strong on it and they all have equal parts!!! LOVELOVELOVE!!!!

Debut Stage Music Bank:

I seriously love these boys and I can’t wait to see the influence they have on the K-Pop industry; I have a feeling they will follow in Big Bang’s footsteps and definitely leave a huge mark on the K-pop world. Block B Fighting!!!!!

Debut Stage: A Pink – Music Bank

I’m really not a fan of this group, I’ve never liked the cutesy style that Korean’s and Japanese love. The first song to me was just boring, the second their vocals are kind of terrible, lot’s of flatting and just poorly supports singing. Their choreography is good and they all stay together really well but overall they are ok…

Debut Stage: X-5 Music Bank

I like the vocals of this group, when they are actually singing live so not their first song. But I find the choreography to be really distracting and kind of sloppy.

Comeback Stage: F(x) – Music Bank

I’ve always thought F(x) were really great performers so I’m not surprised at all by their good performing skills that are displayed here. I still really hate what they’re wearing, it looks like they are stuck in what was fashionable in K-pop in 2009 (ie. 2NE1 & 4 Minute’s debut style).

My Gangsta Boy

Danger – 피노키오

110206 INKIGAYO: GD & TOP – Don’t Go Home

OMG!!!! Hair color change!!! That means Big Bang’s comeback is super soon!!!! Who else is ridiculously excited!!!!!

Music Core: Orange Carmel – Not Yet (110129)

This is such a gorgeous song! I love it and they do a great job performing it! <33

Comeback Stage: Jewelry – Back it up (music bank)

So I just found an HD version of this! Here’s their comeback stage!

110114 Comeback Stage: Teen Top – Transform & Supa Luv (Music Bank)

I forgot to post this last week!!! I love Teen Top!!! They are great performers, out of all the rookie groups of the past year they are my favorite and I really hope they continue to do well. I love how in sync they are; their dancing is very impressive and very together!! I Love NIEL!!!!

Live Stage: Seungri – VVIP & What Can I do? (Inkigayo)

I think one of the things that originally attracted me to YG (above other entertainment groups) is the energy their performers always show. I always feel like they are more charismatic and easy to watch on stage than other groups. You’re free to disagree with me, this is obviously only my opinion, but I just feel like YG artists are better performers. Its obvious when you watch Seungri that he knows what he’s doing onstage, now honestly I prefer him in BIg Bang as opposed to him as a solo artist. But I do think he can hold his own on stage and he is a great perform.

{Like with all performances I’m sure SBS will pull this at some point so when that happens I’ll try to update it with a different video 🙂 }
