Oddness/Weirdness

SHINee 's single " 1000 Years, Always By Your Side " has officially been released, and with it comes the release of the B-side, " The World Where You Exist ". SHINee has been on a roll this year.  They've been performing all over the world and filming commercials and mvs, and releasing songs left and right.  I guess they want to make sure you don't forget about them as 2013 approaches.  SME and EMI Japan have done a good job with that by ensuring they release quality products, and this one is no different.   I certainly won't be forgetting about them any time soon. Take a listen to "The World Where You Exist":

When Big Bang was on the East Coast of the U.S. for their Alive Tour concerts, G-Dragon sat down with XXL, a very popular urban culture/rap magazine. Being written up in XXL mag is a big deal for any rapper, much less a Kpop artist.  You can imagine how big of a deal it would be for GD, even if said artist is one of the most popular in the Kpop genre.  When you do a search for Kpop on XXL's site, 4 articles come up and this is the only one that's an actual interview.  Yeah... I'm excited. It's such a great article.  There are definitely some really interesting things that are revealed and it seems like GD was very honest throughout, and quite a bit more open than he would be for a Korean magazine. Read on and then leave me a comment.  I'm curious to know what you think.

If you haven't taken a gander at Sistar's Hyorin, Kara's Goo Hara and 4minute's HyunA poppin' and twerkin' it in the 19+ commercials for soju brand Chum Churum, then you need to because it is not to be missed. cr. karalalala

It is currently the time of year when every kind of site, magazine, radio station, etc., starts making their "Top Whatever of 2012" lists and I wanted to jump in on that bandwagon with my First Annual Top 10 Songs of the Year list.  Of course I have to do it my way, and that entails me asking my friends for their help. My friends and I have been talking about Kpop music and music videos all year, so they're as qualified as I am to make judgements and pronouncements.  In other words, not qualified at all, but hey, that hasn't stopped us yet! Joining me will be MyMusicRadar! aka Stormy to her friends.  Like me, Stormy also runs a Kpop blog and Tumblr  and has written for this site before ; I couldn't have done this post without her.  Also joining us (for contrast) is Dasiey28, an avid Kpop enthusiast and Kdrama watcher extraordinaire.  If you ever need to find any Kpop mv or need to know where to watch a Kdrama, ask and she shall find.  She is the Kpop-finding

The 2nd episode of "World Date With SHINee" has been subbed!  I think it's about time to watch some more of these girls being silly in front of Key and Jonghyun.  If you haven't seen episode 1, watch it here .  Commence watching ep 2 now:
