Support NeoGAF

[Peru]

Singer IU will be releasing her new single "Spring at the Age of Twenty" (스무살의 &#48388 on May 11th. Before that, her own self-composition will be released on May 4th. (Note: English title is not confirmed yet)

The single, with a total of 3 songs, to be released 6 months after her last album, is a special gift prepared for her fans for their unwavering love and support all this while. In particular, IU will perform the title song from this single for the first time at her own solo concert.

Also, together with the release of this new single will be a short movie of the same title.

Unlike the usual music videos, this short movie was produced to emulate the style of a documentary, containing some of IU's personal thoughts that she has kept to herself all this while and conveying the experiences on life and love of the 20-year-old IU.

IU's agency, LOEN Entertainment, expressed, "Instead of releasing a song with a conventional style for IU's new single this time, we attempted a new approach to convey emotions and story behind the music through a short movie. Please look forward to IU's unique new single."

Meanwhile, IU's self-composition will be released on May 4th at 00:00 (12 midnight) through online music sites, while the single "Spring at the Age of Twenty" will be released on May 11th.

Self-composed buzz single probably better than the single, going by the last album.

[fly high ~ayunite~]

What's the point of being a trio if they're gonna be dancing in a 9 formation with six female backing dancers (just like SNSD heh)? Digging the song and video.

 

[luso]

Yes, the MV is amazing visually, the flawless girls contributing by 90%. Now, waiting for a live performance!

 

[W_Dreamer]

Is it me or can I see the rest of SNSD in some of the clips....?!

Just a reminder you only have a few hours left to mail proof of your itunes Twinkle purchase to gift@smtown.com to be entered into the physical booklet contest. I just took a screen cap of my itunes purchase screen with a written piece of paper with my details and mailed it off.

[Niks]

As expected the MV is really good. Is it me of Tiff doesnt get as much screen time as Taeng and Seohyun?

Also whats with the crappy ads, I demand a clean version.

 

[Dice]

Our fav kpop-haters are back to lament another moment of kpop seeming the slightest bit mainstream. Please don't feed the trolls this time, unless you're filler, since you only troll back.

 

[Peru]

Why would someone choose this of all k-pop releases of 2012 to make an off-topic thread about..

Judging by the first few response it seems like another quality thread of people showing off how refine their musical palette is and talk about how "music used to mean something" blah blah blah....

 

[Dice]

I should watch more HK3. I need more Krystal in my life.

 

[Gazzawa]

Video for Twinkle was golden.

 

[Peru]

E-young's solo http://youtu.be/8rSkwyEzS0Y (plus a crazy hot Broken Heart routine, wish it was filmed better)

I need to find the drinking game I made for SNSD OT topics, none of us would be sober after the first page. It's probably the same posters that have to vent their cynicism about how much they hate it for no real reasons. Although I can't fault them, because if I would have seen this 5 years ago before knowing anything about Soshi I would have the same feelings.

 

[Peru]

I wouldn't. Ten years ago, perhaps, but that's about when I started realizing any genre can be as intellectually stimulating as any other.

 

[Fafnir]

Well aren't you culturally refined. I still see shit today that baffles me, but I just don't have the vitriol to let the internets know that I hate it.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Nothing makes my Monday better than seeing k-pop GAF collide with regular GAF. Nothing!

Here you go,

eh, I'm late but atleast it's not with that filter on it.

Really feels like she's channeling her inner Yuri there. And when she has her hair straightened with the black leggings she looks a lot like Sooyoung. I shall complain about Seohyun being in the sub-unit no longer.

 

[Peru]

Kyary's backup dancers released their own catchy.. thing. Try to pick out the boy http://youtu.be/AKKT7zE_0Zg
