SE7EN's new MV with a quick cameo by G-Dragon. Nice smooth sound. I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of the album. (Just bought it off iTunes.) His interpretive dance at about 4 minutes is a bit out of place, though. And I wish JYP would stop whispering his name at the beginning of all the songs he's involved in. Really, it's kinda creepy.

B.A.P - Warrior M/V
Original Facebook post on January 27 at 11:41pm:
WOW. This is BAP's *first* live performance. Complicated and intense dance routine, impressive rapping by a 15 year-old, solid vocals with just a couple of mistakes, and they even pronounce "warrior" correctly. There's a music video for this song as well, but I think the live showcases their talent more. If BAP keeps this up, they'll be big. Really big.
**Live video I posted is no longer available. Here's the M/V instead:

U-KISS - Neverland M/V + Dance Version
Original Facebook post on January 25 at 8:52pm:
I am currently addicted to this song. If you like the mv, you should watch the dance version too. The best move is around 2:30, in my opinion. U-KISS was formed in 2008 and recently made their debut in Japan. Three of the seven members are fluent in English (two are American). They talked with Martina from eatyourkimchi.com for a long time backstage, in English, and they seemed really down-to-earth. I am definitely a fan!
Note: U-KISS now almost ties with BIGBANG for favorite male group. They are one of 3 groups whose physical albums I've bought, as well as digital. I'm currently waiting for A Shared Dream to arrive in the mail. (3/26/12)

T-ara's Guide for K-Pop Idols: How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse
1. Keep singing and dancing.
2. Change your clothes as many times as possible.
3. Trust the *single* guard and flimsy fence to protect to from the encroaching horde of zombies.
4. If all else fails, do your best MJ impression. Does it every time.

Big Mama - Break Away M/V
Original Facebook post on January 16 at 11:50am:
Big Mama is not your usual Korean musical group. Their name is meant to show that they are not the usual Korean celebrity standard appearance and are confident with their powerful voices instead. This music video shows four beautiful women who are singing passionately on stage. However, it reveals that they are just lip-syncing and Big Mama is singing behind the curtains. Sorry for the crappy quality of the video - it's really hard to find. I'm disappointed in YG for neglecting them, but they persevered and are now signed with Tailruns media.

MBLAQ - This is War M/V
Original Facebook post on January 14 at 10:08pm:
MBLAQ was put together by Rain in '09. This video is their most recent song. It's an "I won't forgive you for stealing my woman" song. Apparently the laws of physics don't apply in this video, though. The live performances of the song that I've seen are quite good.

CL & Minzy - Please Don't Go (Live)
Original Facebook post on January 13 at 6:15pm:
CL and Minzy from 2NE1. This is the only CL/Minzy song, which I think is a shame. Honestly, I didn't like it all that much the first time I listened to it, but it really grew on me and it's one of my current favorites. The dance is catchy (and easy) too. My favorite part is the last chorus. I also love Minzy's leggings. If I was famous and skinny, I'd totally wear them.

Girl's Generation - Run Devil Run M/V
Original Facebook post on January 12 at 9:33pm:
Another mob, but this time there's only 9 of them. Girls' Generation, also known as SNSD, is definitely more about pretty faces/bodies than voice talent. They do NOT sound this good live. I still love the recorded version, though. They are definitely very popular. Two of the members are Americans.

Super Junior - Sorry Sorry M/V
Original Facebook post on January 10 at 5:03pm:
At 12 members, Super Junior is more of a mob than a group. They even have a token chubby guy. That said, they have some catchy songs and it is pretty remarkable how they manage to dance in sync so well. This song is older, but the video does a good job of showing each individual member.
Forgot to mention... The music starts at about 20 seconds in. I don't really get the introduction.
Note: I definitely don't see Shindong as a token chubby guy any more. He's actually my favorite SuJu member now. Yes, even more than Siwon and Leeteuk.

Daesung - Baby Don't Cry (Live)
Original Facebook post on January 9 at 1:07am:
And finally, Daesung, BIGBANG's smile. It's really too bad there's no MV for this one. He's got an amazing and unique voice. It would be awesome if he'd release a solo album. Daesung has done a lot of variety shows in the past and is absolutely hilarious. Currently, he's starring in the drama What's Up.

Taeyang - Wedding Dress M/V
Original Facebook post on January 9 at 12:52am:
Taeyang ties for best singer in BIGBANG, in my opinion. He's a great dancer and seems to prefer going shirtless. >///< He released an international album with a lot of English versions of his songs. Taeyang means "sun", thus the references.

Seungri - What Can I Do M/V
Original Facebook post on January 9 at 12:41am:
Seungri is the maknae (youngest) of BIGBANG. His name means "victory", so a V is his symbol. He's done a musical, and he is a singing/dancing coach on the side.

BIGBANG - Love Song M/V
Original Facebook post on January 8 at 10:01am:
BIGBANG is my favorite male group. They debuted in 2006 and are one of the most popular groups in Asia. Each of the members are successful in their own right, but as a group their talents really complement the others'. If you "hate this love song" *snicker*, then try watching one of their other videos. There's lots to love out there. ^_^

TVXQ - Mirotic M/V
Original Facebook post on January 6 at 6:19pm:
Addictive. It's really too bad that the group broke up. It's all because SM Entertainment treats their talent more like products than people. YG is so much better.

Rain - Love Song M/V
Original Facebook post on January 3 at 6:51pm:
Slow start, great song. He did an English version, but his accent and the awkward lyrics get in the way. Looking forward to July 2013 when Rain gets back from military service.
Note: I didn't say anything about the incredibly sexy dance since my grandparents and other family are my friends on FB. But, WOW. O_O
