Big Bang is Still Killing It...

...and they haven't even released their album yet.  Craziness. I told myself yesterday that I was going to relax on the Big Bang posts for a bit because I was starting to feel like a Big Bang fansite, not that that's a bad thing.  THEN... they release something like this: "Bad Boy" teaser- Source:  BIGBANG

EXO Is Always At The Airport: A Fashion Retrospective

It's true.... The members of EXO-K and EXO-M are ALWAYS at the airport.  I'm never sure where they're going or what they're going to be doing when they get there, but I'm forever seeing the pics.  There's often some major fashion moments taking place in these pics; some good, some bad but always notable.  Enjoy: This post is image heavy

So You Were Wondering What EXO's "Wolf" & "Growl" Drama Version MVs Are About? Pt. 1

It has come to my attention that people are confused as hell about EXO 's " Wolf " and " Growl " drama version MVs, and have been since they came out.  Well, it's your lucky day, because I'm here to explain the shit out of them for you, in the way I know best: I'm going to tell you a little story.  Fyi, this will be done in two parts, so bear with me.

Let Me Introduce You To: IAMMEDIC

I was just sitting here listening to a relatively unknown band that I've been into for the past few years and musing over how good they are.  I started to think about how I could get more people acquainted with their music and then I realized: Well duh... I have a blog.  So let me introduce you to IAMMEDIC.


IAMMEDIC official
L to R: DJ Yup, Danny Park, lead singer Enik Lin and rapper Andre Harris.

Don't worry, this post isn't all that unrelated to Kpop.   IAMMEDIC is a South Korean/American band who describe their music as "electro glitch pop".  Consider them an indie version of your Kpop faves; in fact they're friends with YG protégé Lydia Paek, the Kpop group AZIATIX:


The list goes on.

You might have heard of them, actually.  IAMMEDIC opened for Brian Joo when he performed in 2010 in Los Angeles, and would have opened for JYJ in New York that same year if JYJ had been able to get their visas.  Danny Park is known for being the dj on Mnet America's Danny From L.A., and DJ Yup is a well known dj that brings in crowds throughout Seoul and the U.S.  You can read even more about the band by clicking here.

First things first, though... Let's get you listening to some of their music.  The following are some of my fave songs by this awesome band:




IAMMEDIC in NYC 2011

IAMMEDIC'S songs seem so light and fun at first listen but there's quite a bit of darkness behind them, as you can see in their most recent mv below.  Apparently there's a real life story behind it, as there is for all the songs that Enik writes.

"Schizophrenia":

 I have a feeling that these guys will be famous sometime soon. 

Hopefully this post inspires you to listen to more of IAMMEDIC's music and learn more about them.  If you're interested you should definitely check out their Facebook page.  The guys are always popping in to chat, answer questions and post photos.  They're totally not your usual Kpop band, and I like it that way.

Full Scans + Interview From G-Dragon's Incredible Vogue Korea 17th Anniversary Editorial

Ok I knew that G-Dragon 's editorial for Vogue Korea's 17th Anniversary would be amazing but these kind of exceeded my expectations.  I am in awe of the depth and clarity of Hong Jang Hyun 's photographs and of the stylist's vision.  The makeup artists did a great job too.  I'm not saying I like them more than I like GD's 2009 Vogue Korea editorial but they come pretty close, especially the first photos, which I'm calling "G-Dragon in high fashion grunge Rivendell" (where the elves lived in Lord of the Rings ?  No?  Alright, I'll admit I'm kind of a nerd).  Scroll down for scans of all 32 images and the full interview translation.  You're welcome!
