私は人されて (Being the person I am)

dreamongood:

Each person in your life is like a snowflake; unique and never to be replicated again. However, they’ll eventually melt away. So appreciate what and who you have today, for we don’t know what tomorrow will bring—or what will be gone.

So I haven’t done this in a long time. I have been so busy that when I have free time I spend it on other things. I don’t even keep up with kpop as much as I used to.

I have decided that I am going to just talk about a few videos instead of my overly organized reviews. (plus I don’t think anyone really every reads it anyways) Plus I’ll add in links to reviews done by Eat Your Kimchi since I would feel redundant if I reviewed the same music videos.

The first video I am going to talk about is this new group called Nu’est. They just came out this month with their debut called face. This song is different from most kpop songs. And it is no surprise since it was meant to be that way.

Here is the description of Nu’est.

Urban Electro Band NU’EST

The 5-member boy group NU’EST is making their debut with their album [FACE] in March 2012, having already received astonishing reactions and secured fans from varying age groups through their diverse television appearances and events prior to their debut. 

NU’EST stands for ‘NU(New), Establish, Style, Tempo’, signifying how they are creating a new style to the music. Composed of members JR, Aron, Baekho, Minhyun, and Ren, NU’EST is at the center of attention for their outstanding musical skills as well as perfect visuals, seeking to take over the K-pop scene with their unique color, style, and music.  

Face has a European sound and that is of course because it was composed by a Swedish person. I don’t know about you but I love European music so combining two of my favorite types of pop makes me ecstatic. Warning though if you don’t like dubstep then this song may not be for you. It isn’t in the entire song but there is a little break where they do play some dubstep. I believe that this group has great potential and I love not only their dancing and singing but their overall vibe is terrific.

Next is Exo-K with History. Exo is also a new group that debut this year from SM Entertainment. Now everyone is getting bored of their (many many many) teasers and prologue songs…which I have to say doesn’t make sense since a song is a song.  Anyways even with all the useless hype Exo is talented without a doubt.

For those who don’t know Exo. Exo is like Suju in that there are subgroups. Exo is divided into Exo-K (for Korean) and Exo-M (for Mandarin). Both subgroups have 6 members and all are very awesome. I personally like Exo-M better for some reason but Exo-K is growing on me.

Here is their new song (I think) History:

Then there is LYn with LoveFiction. Now I wish I could tell you all about LYn but I can’t. I don’t know her and personally I don’t get to know solo artist especially since she sings ballads. This was release like 7 hours ago it is a new mv I believe…(idk Leon Entertainment is sometimes slow with their releases)

This is a sweet slow song. Sounds like this song could be used for a OST of a drama. Like most ballads there is no dance and the video mostly contains scenes of her just siting or standing singing in very peaceful settings. Like the all white room or a corner that glows from the candles surrounding her. I thought it was a nice song and I if you know me I don’t like ballads but this one I can see myself listening to over and over again. It is a song that will grow on you.

Bohemian’s Don’t Be Sick is another slow song but it is very depressing. This is a mv you can’t take your eyes off for a second. Seriously I didn’t even want to miss a mil-second of this video. The video is a drama form and it compliments the song beautifully. Just watching it once I had tears in my eyes.

The video is about this sick girl (mentally) and she has a lover who comes by to take care of her. You can tell he loves her deeply. But because he loves her so much he won’t let her out into the real world afraid she will get hurt or lost. So he traps her in the little apartment. One day she tries to get out while he is gone…and she succeeds. Goes out to explore the streets (nearly getting run over) thus when the guy comes home she is gone. Deeply upset he rush out to find her. When he does he finds her in an abandon closet. He takes her home yet when they  arrive home it isn’t a shocker that she is angry he won’t let her out into the real world. She shoves him away as he tries to hug her but in doing so makes her piss. In rage grabs the kitchen knife and stabs him a couple of times. He dies crying and she falls to the ground looking at her blood stain hands. The video ends with her walking off in the streets of Seoul.
