Like this part alot.
Same. I love "24 Hours," but prefer "Full Moon," particularly because it seems better suited to Sunmi. I still say "24 Hours" would have been an equally amazing Miss A song, and while I can see Miss A's Min doing a solid version of "Full Moon" (better than anyone else in her group), I doubt it would have the feel Sunmi brings across.

As for Bing Bing dancing, all I had to do back in the day was post the Bing Bing dance practice video (like I did here with a now perma-banned member), and people had no choice but to fall in love with the group.

Incidentally, that post also has one of the many times I've brought up K-Pop's obvious, and sometimes wholesale photocopied, influences. Western Hip-Hop and R&B are at the top of the list, but also Eurobeat, British/Scandinavian folk and pop, among others.

Obviously, nearly nothing exists in a vacuum any more, and even creators of the "source" material often have a long list of uncredited citations themselves. Still, there are times when you have to ignore K-Pop/Rock/Hip-Hop's penchant for not acknowledging where there same influences originate from.
True. I've only seen that dance practice vid and love it.

I really enjoy The Red. There are a few songs that fall flat for me, but as an overall release I'm really impressed by it. Especially for a first full length album. I also appreciate that we got 10 brand new songs all at once instead of rehashes from earlier minis or staggered releases. Always good to see these kinds of releases from idol groups in Kpop these days.

Well my true test has come. I've been going to this trivia night stuff at bars around town with my friends. We got to pick a category for next week, and we heard another team had been trying to get the opportunity for months to pick a certain category... it's kpop. So it's basically me vs a whole team of female kpop stans. In reality the host will probably google kpop and find the most obvious shit and we'll both knock it out of the park, but this could also get real if he decides to fuck with us for making him do it and goes back to the 80s.

95% of the time it's the first quiz/trivia link on google. At least he took your category though, the girls that run it at the bar we go to always reject our stuff. :(

Dream situation is the host will play some Kim Wan Sun or something and I'll nail that shit, but just doing kpop as a category on my birthday is pretty funny.

How is the host usually with various categories though? There's evidence of thoughtful questions from exploring a topic, or it's scratch-the-surface type stuff?

It's like a professional team of various hosts that does stuff all over town. The difficulty range is typically all over, but we have many times found lists and stuff online that they obviously pulled from, and the final round is always intentionally extra hard. Thing is, with kpop they probably won't want to push too hard for the sake of everyone else, lol. I think it would be funny if they unintentionally cause a clusterfuck by making us name debatably translated song titles. I'm moving out of state this month so it's extra funny to subject everyone to this before I go.

Just to be safe I should probably brush up on guy groups and learn their names. I think I only have Shinee, 2PM, Big Bang, Beast, and Suju memorized. Gotta learn Infinite names and finally subject myself to Exo, get better acquainted with all the groups that start with B.

The Red is really good, nowhere near as good as Pink Tape though, I'd probably put it above Red Light but I haven't listened to it in a while.

After like 5 loops around The Red, I still can't choose my favorite song. I hope they're gonna perform some other songs with Dumb Dumb, even if it's a glimpse.

This song came up in my playlist today and I don't understand how it was not a smash hit. It's like the perfect Kpop song, and one of the best songs Brave Brothers has produced. It still hasn't gotten old, two years later.

Lucky dude.
It's always portrait mode with phones lol.
That wouldn't have been done with a phone, more likely filmed with something like $5k of equipment. The focus is just one one person so you can have it a higher res as well if the camera is portrait instead of cropped landscape.

Oh cool. I see portrait mode too much nowadays and just think phone.
Your avi is hilarious. Looking high. That's from step if i'm correct right or KARA?

DIA debuts next week. It was revealed today that their album will have 7 songs (plus 3 additional versions of one of their title tracks). It has 2 title tracks, both composed by Shinsadong Tiger. One is "innocent" and one is "sexy" (fancam of them performing the sexy one is here).

Fully agree; especially the bold portion. Sad it didn't sell better and/or bring them greater attention. Great, fun song with fun point dances.

True. I've only seen that dance practice vid and love it.
It is to be expected to be influenced by those genres as in they are in the same vein.
Can they be called K-Pop if they are inspired heavily by such things as metal and jazz tho.
Yeah, though keep in mind, without even delving into KRock, HipHop, or other types of Korean Pop, mainstream Kpop alone has incorporated all of the influences I've mentioned. From the Caribbean alone, they used varying degrees of Roots & Culture, Dancehall, Soca and Calypso. Different acts have just gone about things differently from light incorporation and unavoidable influence, to carbon copying on the more shameless end of the spectrum.

Here's a recent release that gives a nod to Dilla at the end, because... well.. listen to the song...

Red Velvet just introduced 2eyes who are without their pigtails.

Concept bullies.

Edit: Wow Seventeen's comeback stage was very complex, energetic, and fresh. Good stuff.

Robots, snap bracelets, throwing and catching imaginary objects. The "Dumb Dumb" choreo is so fun to watch.

Edit: SM's choreo team oppas have been having fun. First the "Lion Heart" spread leg dance, and now one in "Huff n Puff" while wearing a short skirt.

Edit 2: Individual cams for "Dumb Dumb":

And no-cut group version

Assuming that's written with no toungue-in-cheek, they are MBK's next girl group.

Does anyone know who choreographed Dumb Dumb? SM has been consistent at not mentioning RV choreographers and having Famous Jay take credit for it.

Didn't realize how much i would appreciate english vocals after listening to the TABLO X TAEYANG - '눈,코,입(EYES, NOSE, LIPS)' COVER VIDEO.
Would like to hear more groups/songs that have lots of english.
There is a dark past of english k-pop comercial flops:

BoA - Eat you up
BoA - I did it for love
Wonder Girls - Nobody
Wonder Girls - Like Money
SNSD - The boys
Spica - I did it
Chad Future - So good (ft. Uji)
Worth it for Uji. And just saw this buffoon copied the old LOEN MV watermark.
I can't think of more right now. There are some indie artists that only sing in english like Glen Check and From The Airport

I clicked this so damn fast. Here for Mina ending up being the most popular member.
