Oddness/Weirdness

G-Dragon recently teamed up with Glaceu Vitamin Water to be their most recent spokesperson and has already released a series of commercials for the brand.  Next up for GD ?  A Cosmopolitan   Magazine spread (and interview) featuring him as what I take to be a mad scientist, cooking up some of that good old Vitamin Water.

TS Entertainment announced yesterday that their not-so-rookie-anymore super group, B.A.P, would be staging a large scale comeback on June 28th with their 3rd mini album.  They were recently caught filming an mv in Las Vegas and it's been revealed that they'll be releasing and promoting 3 songs from the new album.  What??! B.A.P's 1st teaser was released today.

As it stands this year over 30 rookie Kpop groups have debuted and only a very few have even made it to the public consciousness.  A couple of them have managed to catch my eye in the past few weeks, and those two would be  LC9  and Bangtan Boys .  The why of it lies solely in their debut music videos.  The two groups have surprised me with their brash, bold and take-no-prisoner videos and I'm pretty hard pressed to pick a favorite.  So... why not have them battle it out?

Today SHINee had the honor of appearing on stage at UMF Korea , or the Ultra Music Festival , with Beatburger .  UMF, which takes place annually, is the world's most famous outdoor electronica festival.  The festival was originally created with a focus on electronica, but it has grown over the years to showcase music from the biggest and best EMD (electronic dance music) artists to crossover EMD artists.  The festival takes place in Miami, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Ibiza and Korea, and thousands of people come from all over to attend.  So, to have SHINee perform there is pretty much a big deal.

So EXO won for the 2nd time with " Wolf " on Music Core today... yayyyy!  I'm extra happy for them because they are some hard working dongsaengs.  However I have to admit that my favorite part of this whole thing was when SHINee 's Jonghyun  appeared out of nowhere with a gigantic bouquet of flowers for them and ended up kind of taking over.

EXO has won their first comeback stage win ever with " Wolf " on KBS's Music Bank today and I'm so proud of them!  You can tell these boys have practiced their singing and dancing so hard and it has finally paid off.  Watch their full interview, performance and ending stage below:

Love him or hate him, you have to admit that G-Dragon is one stylish mother f-er.  When on stage, or out promoting, G-Dragon's outfits can veer from moderately outlandish to extreme eccentricity; he's in your face and he likes it that way.  But when he's out and about, hitting up those invitation only parties as GD , or at the airport as plain old Kwon Ji Yong, he's a tad bit more subdued... up to a point. Today is all about off-duty G-Dragon, but I like him any which way.  How about you?

SHINee has been spokespeople for Skechers since March of this year but now they're taking their partnership a bit further: UPDATED : With individual HD pics from the Skechers design photoshoot.

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

Damn guys!  There's so much good Kpop news these days, I don't even know what to do!  Today my feels are all about INFINITE and their newly announced 1st World Tour, One Great Step .

More dance stuff (yay!) and this time it's Block B's B-Bomb doing Repter 's choreography to Zion-T 's " Gray ".  This video was posted on June 1st but it's too good to overlook.

Remember all the way back in January of this year when it came out that  Block B  filed an injuction against their company,  Brand New Stardom  (aka  Stardom Entertainment ) for not paying them all their well earned money?  Well, guess what happened yesterday?  You guessed it... Block B lost.  I figured this was coming but DAMN is it f*cked up!

Yesterday Universal Music Japan posted up a little video of our favorite boys, SHINee , talking about their soon to be released Japanese album " Boys Meet U ".  You can watch it here with English subs, so take a look:
