Big Bang featured in TIME Magazine!

Another Korean music artist is making it global. Just like Rain, Big Bang was featured in 'Time' magazine's, a famous American weekly magazine, on October 29th. They didn't receive a magazine spread like Rain, but this is still major accomplishment for them since they've only just begun expanding out of Korea.

In the article, Big Bang was introduced as one of the most promising groups in Korea and about their journey into advancing into the Japanese market.

The article states:

The vocalist Rain-among the TIME 100 in 2006- remains the international face of K-pop, but a host of other artists are eager to follow in his wake...

"Rain himself has struggled to make an impression in the U.S., despite a ton of MTV appearances and onstage backup from the likes of Omarion and Diddy. That leaves Japan as the prime foreign market for the talented, preening young acts that South Korea produces by the score."

The promising of these is Big Bang, a domestically successful five-man hip-hop group formed through Making the Band-style reality show in 2006.

And also:

"Tracks like "My Heaven" (a collaboration with top Japanese DJ Daishi Dance) and "Love Club" have plenty of dance-floor appeal. As for swoon factor, well, their track "Let Me Hear Your Voice" has been selected as the themes for the new Tokyo Broadcasting System romantic comedy Ohitotisama. If your work is popping up on Friday-night prime-time drama, total domination can't be that far behind."

"Total domination" lol. I think Big Bang certainly has the talent to advance into the world music market. I think they are even ready to debut here in the U.S like many other Korean artists such as WonderGirls, BoA, and of course RAIN. Although, I don't think they need to come to the U.S to be seen as successful, I would love to see them come to NY! To be featured in CNN and now TIME magazine is really amazing!

BIG BANG FIGHTING! GANBATTE! We love you guys! <3

Younha new MV - "Sukinanda"

The very talented and beautiful singer who has been dubbed "The Oricon Comet" for topping the charts in Japan recently has released a MV for her new single called 好きなんだ(Sukinanda), which means "I Like You." The single will be released on November 18th. It will be in CD format and has only two tracks: 1. Sukinanda and 2. Sunday.

The MV doesnt have much of a storyline, but shows Younha in different scenes around Japan with her cellphone, listening to mp3 and her guitar. I like that the video is very simple and cute and I can focus more on the song and her pretty voice :) She's so talented. I want to hear more songs from her!

PS: I absolutely love her cellphone!

Check out Younha's - "Sukinanda":

Kara's Nicole goes back to school

Kara's Nicole is going back to school. She will be attending one of Korea's top universities, KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology).

While she is on campus, she will also be apart of Mnet's show "KAIST", which means cameras will be following her through her time studying, which im sure will be a bit annoying for her and the other students. Nicole might face a little trouble while attending college though because she was originally from the US, so her Korean isn't that fluent. So, netizens question whether she can handle her commitments with Kara and studying.

This will be Mnet "KAIST's" third series. Previous series had stars like MC Mong before. It is set to be shown sometime in November this year.

Who says celebrities cant have a good education? I think its great she's going back to school to have a back up plan just in case. I wish her all the luck! Nicole FIGHTING!! :)
