SECRET: Island adventures with ‘YooHoo’
I like SECRET. I like their personalities, I love the fact that they always juggle the cute and sexy concepts so well and not to mention, they’re completely adorable in real life. With their most recent comeback, SECRET takes us back to their cutesy eras ala ‘Shy Boy’ and ‘Starlight Moonlight’ and to be completely … Read more

T-ARA N4 – comprised of evidently more popular members Jiyeon, Eunjung, Hyomin as well as newest member Areum – are set on carving out a name for their group once again. This time as four. It hasn’t been a year since T-ARA was struck with messy, unfortunate controversy. But showbiz is showbiz, and things must … Read more
4MINUTE: Colourful, funky and flirtatious in ‘What’s Your Name?’
After experimenting with more mature and powerful concepts in ‘HuH (Hit Your Heart)’, ‘Mirror Mirror’ and ‘Volume Up’, the girls of 4MINUTE have finally returned after more than a year to take us back to their rookie days with new single, ‘What’s Your Name?’.

C-CLOWN: All suited up with a ‘Shaking Heart’
The boys of C-CLOWN burst into the K-pop scene last year and captivated me from the start. I’m not ashamed to admit that I became a full-fledged CROWN after second single ‘Far Away… Young Love’. And with the release of their latest single ‘Shaking Heart’… well let’s just say that they definitely got my heart … Read more
GI (Global Icon): Let the beat move you with “BEATLES”
If being badass is not enough, it seems Simtong Entertainment reckons that it’s time to kick it up a notch and introduce a ‘tomboy’ girl group. Really didn’t see that one coming. Having made their debut on April 13 with single ‘BEATLES’, the girls of GI (which stands for Global Icon), have successfully become highly … Read more
PSY: A mother frikkin’ un-‘Gentleman’
PSY is such a troll. But let’s go into that later. ‘Gentleman’ is the undisputed sequel to last year’s ‘Gangnam Style’ (check out my review on the massive hit here).

BtoB: Charming their way into hearts with a ‘2nd Confession’
Welcome back, BtoB! Ok I’ll admit, I’m a big noona fan of BtoB. I’ve been absolutely smitten with them, ever since I had the wonderful opportunity to see them live at Sundown Festival.

K.Will: Devilish ‘Love Blossoms’
After blowing me away with the gorgeously addictive ‘Please Don’t…’ (complete with a then very timely MV starring SISTAR‘s Dasom, along with Seo In Guk as a heartbroken man) from the first part of his third album, K.Will is back with his second installment ‘The 3rd Album Part.2‘. Musically, ‘Love Blossom’ continues to take on … Read more
LEE HI: Blooming and beautiful with ‘Rose’
I never knew it was remotely possible at the tender age of 17, but LEE HI exemplifies the epitome of grace, maturity and complete elegance in her newest MV ‘Rose’. Unlike previous two bubblier title tracks ‘1.2.3.4‘ and ‘It’s Over‘, ‘Rose’ is muted, slow and a breathy experience. Two massively successful singles later (both winning … Read more
