BEAST (비스트) have released their latest single 'Shadow' this is their title track for their album 'Hard to Love, How to Love'
The MV has a more mysterious and dark theme to it, the guys are all seen in black and dark grey outfits dancing in an abandoned background.
I was surprised to see a more manly image for some of the members especially Yoseob (양요섭), he is normally seen as being cute and bright but in this MV you can notice his more muscular physic which is noticeable because of his toned arms.
The video has alot going on in it so it can get a little confusing at times with all the special effect going on at once. There is alot to take in with the MV, I had to watch the video a couple of times in order to understand the story line, the song and focus of the members.
Check out the video below:
The album has already reached first place on Tower Records for pre-order.
I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the album and I'm sure they won't disappoint their fans.
4minute have released their MV for their new single '물 좋아? (Is It Popping)'
The videos concept is similar to their previous single ' 이름이 뭐예요? What's Your Name?' Their fashion sense is unique and quirky as always. The video shows the girls at a party having dancing and then it gets too hot in the club a fire breaks out and the sprinklers turn on. It kind of reminds me of Nelly's song 'Hot In Herre' but the KPop version.
Personally I prefer 4minutes older songs especially from their first album but I have to admit this song is catchy and after listening to the song a few times it does stick in your head.
A friend of ours was coming to England and asked us if we wanted anything from Korea so we thought we ask her to get us some KPop CD's. It's quite hard to buy the Korean music CD's in England, but now you can find some KPop CD's at HMV but they are quite expensive.We decided to get BEAST's albums and 4minute's album seeing as we were going to United Cube concert in London.
Alternatively, you can purchase the albums from yesasia.com there you can find a wide range of KPop albums as well as dramas and movies.

We're still struggling to get over the B2ST concert in London. It was beyond amazing. It's strange seeing B2ST, 4minute and G.Na live after watching them on YouTube for so long. Honestly a dream come true.
Check out the crazily long queue two hours before the concert:
To keep us entertained while we were in the line, we were asked what we liked most about KPop:
What do you like most?

Cube United Kingdom will be held in London, Brixton Academy on Monday 5th December. In appreciation to the first UK KPop concert, I decided to draw some fan art showing some UK loving!
I absolutely adore Beast and I do consider myself a 'B2UTY' so here is my Beast/Cube United Kingdom fan art. (I know it's not called Cube United Kingdom, but that's what I call it, merging of Cube United and United Kingdom.) What do you think of my fan art?

We've finally had the chance to listen to the Trouble Maker Album. Trouble Maker are a co-ed subunit comprising of 4minute's HyunA and B2ST's Hyunseung under CUBE Entertainment.
Here's what we make of the songs:
1. Trouble Maker
Hmm, this song is interesting. When I first heard the beat in the teaser, I didn't think they would use the beat in the actual song so when I heard the song at first I didn't know what to make of it. I have a feeling this song will sound great when it's performed. At first I wasn't too fond of the song but it's slowly growing on my although I still don't think I'll have it on repeat.
2. 듣기 싫은 말
A complete contrast to the Trouble Maker single, it's a lot slower. Personally I prefer this song a lot more than Trouble Maker. I’m used to HyunA singing pop songs or rapping so seeing this almost ballad side of her is quite refreshing. The bridge is personally my favourite part.
3. Time (feat. 라도)
Another slow song on the album starting with ‘Time’ is repeatedly being echoed. I’m really liking 라도’s voice, he sings quite a lot in this song that I got confused about when Hyunseung actually sings – sounds a bit like DooJoon. Hyunseung sings in the chorus.
4. 아무렇지 않니
The beat of this song sounds pretty R&B to me, which is great because I love my R&B songs. I can actually imagine Hyunseung dancing all slick to this song. Hyunseung’s solo track.
Honestly, when this album was released I was really excited about the fast upbeat songs they might have on the album, however, the title song Trouble Maker isn’t the one I favour. I‘ve got all the slower ballad-like songs on repeat instead. So far, my favourite track on the album is Time. I’m singing along to it already.
You can purchase the Trouble Maker on: Naver , Melon
