Oddness/Weirdness

I'm back!   But only kind of today because my first foray back into blogging is a guest post.  Did I hear someone say "But whyyyy??" from here?  Well, I happen to think you'll like this one a lot.  This post is by Kat , Associate Writer extraordinaire for Korea.com , who I met in the comments of this here blog and promptly befriended.  We bonded over SHINee belts... don't ask.  Anyway, Kat is here to give you an in depth view into why we all like Kpop and also to give you a way to explain it to those pesky non-Kpop lovers. Did You Just Ask Why I Love K-Pop? Others: You like K-Pop? What, like that Sigh guy?" Me: Yeah! Others: But I’m so sick of hearing that gang -nam song, such a one-hit wonder. Me: Actually Psy has been a significant figure in the Korean music industry for over 12 years now and he has produced a lot of really fantastic music during that time… Nope, I’ve lost them. I guess it's understandable how people associate K-Pop to

Last night I was watching one of my favorite shows ever, So You Think You Can Dance , when dancer Mark Kanemura (one of Lady Gaga 's main backup dancers) decided to give his choreography some  2NE1 fierceness.  That's right, there was 2NE1 on national tv in the U.S. last night!  :insert fangirling gif here:

The mv to 2NE1 's 2nd summer jam, " Do You Love Me " is now out!  Are you loving it?  I bet you are, because it's super duper extra cute.

So YG Entertainment decided not to troll us for once because they released 2NE1 's " Do You Love Me " on time.  Can you imagine?  The song is pretty good, I must say, and the choreography is cute.  Let's watch:

Continuing on with their a-new-song-every-month strategy, 2NE1 is about to drop another one August 7th!  This one's called " Do You Love Me " and it's got the cutest teasers in the world of Kpop mv teasers.

It's been exactly a year since 2NE1 released their last official mv, and they're finally, finally back with a new one.  This new mv was released on July 7th and it's called " Falling in Love ".

The official word is out!  YG Entertainment has finally released a teaser photo for 2NE1's much anticipated new single, "Falling In Love".

Now this is what I'm talking about right here!  By this I mean that  YG Entertainment unleashed  CL 's dance practice video for " The Baddest Female " on us mere mortals today and I am loving it.

Love CL 's " The Baddest Female " or hate it, you have to admit the girl can perform the hell out of a song.  She did just that on her first solo Inkigayo comeback stage, which took place on June 2nd, and if you've watched it already, you should watch it again:

On May 29, GD and YB , along with their good friends 2NE1 , showed up to the opening of the new Chrome Hearts  in Shinsegae department store in Seoul today.  This was a VIP only event, so only the coolest of the cool were in attendance. This post is image heavy.

2NE1 's CL has just released her mv for " The BADDEST FEMALE " and pretty much managed to throw some serious shade at all her contemporaries in one fell swoop.  

2NE1 CL 's solo album debut is fast approaching , and I've got some fun news about that.  Seems as if her label mates and bffs GD and YB will be helping her out with her mv for her upcoming single.  How fun is that?

The big YG Entertainment reveal has been made and the huge surprise seems to be that CL is coming out with a solo album.  Cue celebratory music for CL and a game show buzzer sound for 2NE1 .  I'm shocked, because as some of you might remember, CL was talking about this in February and mentioned that she would be coming out with her solo album after 2NE1 was done with their own promotions.   As you can tell, we've been trolled but whatever... This is just as exciting.  Read on for more info.

Yesterday 2NE1 released new teasers for their as yet unannounced project, 2NE1 Loves .  Actually, who knows what the name of the project is?  They haven't announced it yet.  The teasers were  Minzy and Park Bom 's:

The mystery continues as the new 2NE1 Loves teaser is released!  Watch Dara fling her flowy scarf around and look beautiful to the tune of their song " I'm Busy " from the " TO ANYONE " album.

Just a few minutes ago a teaser featuring 2NE1's CL was released and the internet is awash in speculation... Is a comeback in the works?

Yesterday I talked about SHINee at Seoul Fashion Week , but today I'm bringing you some  G-Dragon .   GD hit up designer Kathleen Hanhee Kye 's F/W 2013 fashion show on March 28th for her brand, KYE .  He took with him 2NE1 's CL and his bffs model Lee Soo Hyuk and  2NE1 's former stylist  Yang Seung Ho (aka Yangaeng ).  Check it:

The 2012 Melon Music Awards happened earlier this morning for me, last night for many of you.  I don't know about you, but I'm thinking it was a damned sight better than the MAMA's. I'm bringing you my thoughts on the best performances and the not-so-good... feel free to agree or disagree with me in the comments like you did last time , but do remember that we all have different opinions.

I'm on a 2NE1 kick this week, apparently.  They're just doing all kinds of great stuff.

Ok seriously?  2NE1 is something else!  These girls are the shit.  Check these really good fancams out and, after you're finished dancing, leave me a comment to let me know what you thought!
