"Bora of Sistar and Hani of EXID will be joining Super Junior‘s Kim Heechul and Kara‘s Goo Hara as MC’s on KBS‘s upcoming idol beauty show, “A Style for You.”"

“A Style for You” will be an idol beauty and fashion program where the MC’s will actively provide tips and suggestions regarding makeup, fashion, dieting, food, and other various interests. It is expected to premiere either in late March or early April.
 
She was a model for Yes before totoga I thought... was she not?

Lol I just happened on it while visiting Asian Junkie. I didn't know she was a model for the mag(?) before.

Yewon can't really ride on Totoga/nostalgia since she's only a member of the newer Jewelry lineup since 2011.

I was actually referencing to how Yewon subbed in for Cool's Yuri at Totoga... couple the fact that Jewelry is officially dead, I thought she was still trying to ride that Totoga train.

In any case, let's put the semantics aside and enjoy the pics lolol.

Feeling in the mood for some old kpop. Some lesser known groups and major groups of the day.

OG Jewelry

See U

Papaya

소호대 (Sohodae, two albums and poof)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3AGRpTiz4Q

채정안 (Chae Jung Ahn)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYrciccwczU

TTMA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hPWZ0IwIE8

O-24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vGfjrPauEM

J (man this song got so overplayed back in the day, though I always did appreciate the fact she tried to perform live most of the time...sometimes her voice was really hoarse)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vmn0oEtB76I

Turbo (my favourite song by them, risque video for that era of kpop! )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9X-dfdbhLc

Cleo (first time I heard these lyrics, I was like...what??? The album cover had oranges on the front, so I guess they are just carrying over that concept into their MV?)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehG5X8oPUjE

고호경 (Go Ho Kyung) (I think YoonA covered this song, and i thought the original artist went to jail on drug charges. Anyways, used to remind of Vitamin C with that orange hair.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIbaocb-KY0

Baby V.O.X (with a young Yoon Eun Hye...I want to say EZ and Mi Youn were the most popular members)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9XEcaHeVps

Koyote/S#arp/Space A Power Stage (blew my mind when I saw this back in the day, because I was a huge fan of these groups)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyTqLDvdLFg

And because I always judge how much I like groups/singers based on their covers of FIN.K.L songs:

Bonus 1: Hong Jin Young
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0C-d2E69ro&list=PLznW8rt0395pDGcQH92RAjgOMQPTx-lwZ&index=1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xjqmSRcx8M (not a FIN.K.L song, but always a classic)

Bonus 2: BESTie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qfk47d5t30U

Bonus 3: Ha Ji Won, only because I haven't posted it in a while.

I totally feel old. I remember liking the pigtails girl from O-24 back in the day.


I remember a SBS cameraman upskirting one of the girls back when they didn't all wear the safety pants. Yes, that is my main TTMA memory.

I knew a girl who totally hated Yoon Eun Hye when they added her to Baby VOX. She was "useless". Always funny how she ended up being the most successful.
 
'Shake that brass' teaser 3 releasing today is going to feature snsd hyoyeon, got7 jackson, missA min and jia.

She was always my favorite, but my cousin tells me the fans really didn't like her in Korea since she really didn't fit the concept of the rest of the group, but good for her for being the most successful. I'm told when fans would cheer for the rest of the group during their lines, they would just go quite when it was Yoon Eun Hye's turn.
 
were there any big artist come backs since the start of the new year tho?

They are all fucking their boyfriends/girlfriends. Ain't got time for music.

OMG IS THAT THE REASON PEOPLE CREEPILY SUPPORT THAT RULE WHILE THE CEO'S THAT MAKE IT A PART OF THE CONTRACT CLEARLY COULD CARE LESS!?

Crazy epiphany if true.

This was supposed to be an f(x) song.

Yo so far this year is weak as hell compared to last year. Last year by this time we already had Everyday 3, Rain Effect, Miniskirt, B.B.B, and almost Full Moon.

2015 needs to step its game up
safely

I blame 9Muses for not stepping up to the plate. 4minute's and Lizzy's releases and, to a certain extent, Gfriend's debut were good though.

What happened to 6mix?

I'm guessing that whoever survives this show will be 6mix. Read rumors months ago that some of the girls planned for the group have left JYPE. JYP is probably cutting his loses and leaving it up to the public to decide any spots he has to fill in the group.
Edit: Ok, hadn't read about them in ages, but it indeed appears that at least Cecilia is no longer part of JYPE

마이네임 (MYNAME) - 너무 very 막 MV

Can cheap sax samples get the fuck out of pop music already? That Amber solo is going to be 90% instrumental.
Probably a good call since her rapping is trash.

Edit: 1st song of unpretty rapstar is out: [언프리티 랩스타 Track 1] 육지담 (Yuk Jidam) - 밤샜지 (Prod. by ZICO) Sounded better live for some reason.

Great song but what the fuck is up with that video?

The intro monologue, the crime theme, Kookie looking like a carbon copy of Joon hyung and stalking a girl just because she bought a piece of shit Chevy Impala before he could get his hands on it and falling in love with her... holy fuck were 15-year old fangirls in charge of this video?

This might actually rank as the top 10 worst music videos I've ever seen in my entire life.

Not many in Korea would agree with you.
Not only was their 5th album a success, the music video for their follow up song "Tonight" garnered much popularity and was regarded as one of the years best music videos.

Goddam her legs are so thin though. She makes Nana look like Hyosung or something geeeeeez. I just looked up a Flashback performance and she's pretty thin two years ago but now it's just ;( And wow Raina really made a great decision getting her nose done for a second time, I forgot how bad it looked.

Oh and just something I was wondering - on the actual Korean broadcast do those music shows look messed up at all from the screens behind them or are they totally fine and it's only with online videos because of the compression or something?

It's mainly compression. If you can, get a hold of the mnet japan re-broadcast. They do it in a much higher quality and the people who rip them do it was no compression.

It's where most of those "uber"quality .gifs come from.

I mean, the LED screens will always come through bad just because TV camera's don't like them. But no where near as bad as they look on stream.

Yeah, she is very skinny now, seems unhealthy even if she is still adorable. In opposite direction weight-wise, Hyemi seems like she has gained some weight and looks fantastic.

The shows have compression artifacts just like any live broadcast that tries to display something that busy. Have you not noticed while watching TV? Obviously it's not near as bad as online streams, but every broadcast is a stream on some level so you simply aren't going to get bluray quality.

So...The Hitmaker girl group teaser...Eh. How can you bring together Lizzy, Sohyun, Youngji and G.NA only to give them such a mellow ass song I'll never know. Then again it ain't the full song. Sounds crap though. Also Lizzy's quite skeletal right now. She looked great in her pictures from 3 weeks ago on her Instagram, now her face is so thin you can see her skull. Damn what happened?
