KPOP: T-ARA's DAY BY DAY MV


YES. THEY ARE FINALLY BACK! OMG. T_T

I think anyone who has read my blog would have taken notice of my ultra mega big love for these girls. :) They are finally back and the music video was phenomenal. Seriously, it blew my mind.

Since I had already introduced the girls in my previous post about their impending comeback, I shall just start spazzing about the music video right away! ^_^ Do bear with me though since the mv is about 10 mins so this review would be slightly longer than my previous reviews! :)

The music video begins with an intriguing introduction, written in Korean which meaning are written below ;)

Mankind wanted to wear God's clothes
They wanted to speak like God and rule like God
However, God didn't tolerate the thoughts of those humans
In the destroyed world, humans became more like animals than animals
They took swords and tried to rule over one another and thus began to slaughter among themselves
Then, one day,
Rumors started going around that there was one girl with special powers among them...


And who is that one girl you ask? Why, its Dani of course! :D


Oh look, Suzy is even in the mv! ^_^ nah, I kid, I kid. Dani does look a lot like Suzy though.

It is then implied that Dani was blind (this was clearly obvious when Dani couldn't see the rabbit that was hopping nearby) and that Hyomin is her sister. The two seems to be the very few survivors in the destroyed world and the music video shows the two together, very much happy and jolly.


Dani is so pretty here I can't even fathom how much I like her now. *_*


Then the most hottest villain appeared. Who else? T-ara's original maknae, Jiyeon. :) She looks so BA here with her gang of men. She is seen looking for Dani as she held a picture of her in her hand, going around asking if they had seen her. The poor man died after he denied seeing her.


Then the music video shows Hyomin holding the crossbow, trying to shoot a pigeon but however, she failed cutely. It's okay Hyomin. There's always Eunjung to hunt for you.


Then we are brought back to a scene where a man was runnning for his life before getting surrounded by Queen Jiyeon and her huntsman.


Look at that smirk. LOL. wouldn't you surrender to Jiyeon as well? :) She then asked the man about Dani once more and when he didn't answer, Queen Jiyeon just left and let her huntsman do the killing. Like a boss, ya know?


Then, of course, it reverted back to the sisters where Hyomin brings the really cute rabbit for Dani to touch and feel since she couldn't see the rabbit.


I don't know who is cuter. Dani looking so adorably lost or the really cute rabbit.


Then the two take off to some place where they got ambushed by who else? Yes, Queen Jiyeon and her huntsman. Bingo.

Since Dani is blind, Hyomin had to defend the two of them among well 15329 men. Nah, I'm just exaggerating. They were clearly outnumbered and the chances of survival was very faint. In fact, I thought Hyomin would die here and she really did. Well, almost.


And as Hyomin bravely defended the two of them, Queen Jiyeon is seen relaxing in her car, looking all pretty and classy.


After much fighting, the huntsman stabbed Hyomin twice and took Dani away. Queen Jiyeon is very much pleased.


A mysterious man then approached Hyomin and took the sword out and carried her away. I was hoping it would be Eunjung coming to Hyomin's rescue but oh wells, this would do anyways.


Queen Jiyeon had poor Dani locked up in a cell and here, we see Dani's powers unleashed as a fragment of the glass broke when her eyes turned blue. This was supposedly triggered when Queen Jiyeon tried to entice her to think that she was Hyomin instead by calling her name sweetly a number of times.


While this was happening, Hyomin was being treated at a safehouse by that unknown man and had a vision of Dani being taken away in a fantasy like visual.


Then we are led to a scene where Dani was tied up to a big machine, following behind Queen Jiyeon and her huntsman as they went on a killing spree.

Soon after, we are brought back to Hyomin in the safehouse and the startling words of Day by Day by T-ara , TO BE CONTINUED.

There was a preview of the next part which basically shows Hyomin being alive once more and getting better at sword fighting and Eunjung finally making an appearance! :D The last few 5 minutes were behind the scenes footage which I enjoyed watching very much.

It shows the girls practicing diligently and their word of thanks were shown on the screen from the three aces of T-ara, Jiyeon, Eunjung and Hyomin. ;)



All in all, I ENJOYED THE MUSIC VIDEO very much! Seriously. This is by far the most amazing and well told music video I have ever seen. There wasn't too much gore nor was there too much emotional storyline going on. The plot is simple.

Dani is special and Queen Jiyeon wants her so everyone has to die, including Hyomin as well because Queen Jiyeon is BA like that. Yeah, I just summarized the whole 10 min music video into one sentence. But honestly speaking, I wasn't keen on seeing Dani in the music video at first. She is only 14 after all. I think almost everyone, including me, had a change of heart after watching her act in the music video.

She truly befits the character and played it well. Too well that she seems very mature for her age. The weirdest thing is, Dani isn't going to be promoting with them for this comeback so it's a shame that I have wait so long to see her on stage with the rest of the girls.

In conclusion, I really really loved this music video so much that I am having it on replay non stop! :) The rest of the songs on the album are also very much commendable. One of my favourite tracks is Don't Leave besides the very epic Day by Day of course. It is a heart wrenching ballad which was also played during the music video. Soyeon's voice is amazingly wonderful in this song by the way. Flawless.


This is the music video by the way, if you peeps haven't watched it already. ;)


Lastly, I would like to end this review on a happy note by sharing Dani's gorgeous smile with all of you beautiful people. Tadah! :)

KPOP: 4minute's Volume Up MV


I know this is a lil late but I really should do a review on this song. :/ Besides, its 4minute and I have yet to do an introduction about them! :D Now, let's get started! ^_^

This was during their debut days ;)


This is during their Huh days. :) HyunA looks fantastic here btw. :)


The girls of 4minute have very similar names but they look very different from one another as each has their own charm so that's fairly interesting. :)

First off, we have the leader of the group, Jihyun ;)


Next up, we have Gayoon, the exotic beauty of 4minute and the extremely talented vocalist! :)


This is Jiyoon, 4minute's powerful vocalist! :D She normally sports a short hairdo so its easy to distinguish her from the rest! :)


This is HYUNA. KIM HYUNA. If you don't know who she is, please, please, tell me you're joking. XD Seriously! She's my bias in 4minute and this girl is smoking hot! :) I especially like her raps and her solo songs. ;)


Last but not least, we have Sohyun, the maknae of the group! :D She always had this cute image in my eyes until she started rapping in I My Me Mine and then I was like, this is 4minute's cute maknae? O_O wow, what a transformation. Well, her rap skills are great! *_*


Anyways, back to the mv, when the mv started playing and a girl was strutting her way down the hall, I was like, that must be HyunA. Indeed, I was right. X) The close up on her tattoo and the amazingly sexy turn she did definitely screams KIM HYUNA. All hail, HyunA! :) And then the really soothing tune starts playing and my anticipation grew!


Stop hypnotizing me, HyunA >_<

It started off with HyunA singing and then there was this very seductive scene of her with her backup dancers getting all touchy and my eyes went this big, O_O. No kidding. >_<


Then we have HyunA rapping as Gayoon hits a high note and it builds up to a chorus where Jiyoon takes over! :)


I wasn't a big fan of this song at first but yes, like all songs do, it grew on me. ;) I liked how 4minute kept their style just like how INFINITE kept their signature style with 'The Chaser' This song really shows the maturity of the girls progressing from teenage girls into elegant ladies ;)

I've been listening to 4minute from their debut days so I must say, I liked their progress from day 1 up until now. Their comebacks has thus far exceeded my expectations and I look forward to more of their comebacks! :)


All in all, I liked this song a lot and I would highly recommend this song to any 4minute fan! ;) This is definitely a must listen track for any 4Nia! :D

Last but not least, here's the music video for you beautiful people to watch! :)

KPOP: T-ARA's COMEBACK TEASER PICTURES!


I have been a very dedicated to T-ara for quite some time now. How long? Well, honestly, I didn't fancy them when they debuted, but I very much loved their Absolute First Album. I have all of their Korean albums and I think I might just get the upcoming one as well.


Before I spazz about the teaser photos, do let me share with you their current hair colours for their impending comeback! ^_^ I would give more emphasis on the notable ones as these are member who had very obvious transformations. :)

From left, Qri, Hyomin and Jiyeon


Qri's hair is so wow and she rocks it so much, I can't even put into words what I feel right now. Hyomin's red hair is really refreshing and Jiyeon's blonde hair is just beyond words. Their transformation truly befits their title of being chameleon queens! :)

Moving on, we shall now put the spotlight on the teaser photos for their Day by Day comeback! In my personal opinion, the teaser photos were...phenomenal. My favourite one is the EunMin one. Which one you ask? Do see below for reference.


Of course its depicts charismatic EJ hugging her beloved Hyomin with a solemn expression. Oh my gosh. The person who directed this is amazingly brilliant! Kudos to you, whoever you are, for pairing this two up. Seriously, thank you so much.


Are you kidding me? Blonde Jiyeon+katana+sexy outfit is like rainbows+marshmallows. Look at that expression of hers. Seriously, why can't the music video just be released like right now? I can't wait any longer!


This picture is so spazz worthy! I like the idea of having T-ara's popular trio to be the main focus of their music video. I think its about time, don't you think? On the other hand, I'm hoping that the teaser photos aren't trolling me because if these three pictures turned out to be screencaps from a 20 second scene, I am going to be so disappointed. Really, no kidding.


The bikes are such eye candies too. Plus, Hyomin looks fabulous here. Her outfit is befitting and the whole theme is truly splendid. Need I say more? :)



That's T-ara's newest member on the left and her name's Dani. She's really young by the way and whenever I see her pictures, she reminds me a lot of f(x)'s Krystal.


I like the location of the music video set in this picture as well as it seems rather compatible with their concept this time.

In conclusion, I'm all in for futuristic T-ara! :D Are you? :)

KPOP: f(x)'s Electric Shock MV


They are finally back! T_T Who you ask? Well, f(x) of course! How can you not miss these 5 girls, especially the beautiful and flawless Victoria? Come on now. Hot summer, a hot hot summer~

This was during the debut days and I honestly thought Amber was a guy. In fact, most of my friends did as well.


f(x) only has 5 members and it has been that way since their debut. There has been no changes of members so you should remember them. :)

First off, let me introduce to you the most gorgeous and angelic leader of f(x), Victoria :) She is Chinese and the oldest member of f(x).


Next, we have Girls' Generation Jessica's younger sister, Krystal. Krystal looks a lot like YoonA from Girls' Generation so its easy to recognize her. :)


Thirdly, we have the very handsome and charming rapper of f(x), Amber :)


Up next, we have the very cute and adorable Sulli! :)


Lastly, we have the very charismatic Luna :)


Anyways, back to the mv, it started with the girls all grouped in this giant neon coloured place and the first thing that popped into my mind was, man was it bright! The music video set has a pink theme so there are many shades of pink and I was like, this is such an f(x) kind of music video.


Then, Victoria's perfect luscious blonde hair made an appearance and I was literally awed by her. It is ridiculous how pretty she looks with blonde hair. Are you kidding me? It's a crime to be this beautiful, Victoria!


Amber has a decent amount of lines in this song as well and I was rather surprised by that. Finally, she can show off her vocals that she's been hiding for so long!


I especially liked the chorus and the dance moves as well. Its funky and groovy. The outfits are also very shiny and trendy so yes, all in all, it is a very interesting music video. Music wise and fashion wise. I'm glad that f(x) kept their signature style.


The highlights they had in their hair are also notably appealing, such as Sulli's well light pink, blue and orange and red highlights? She looks good though. It isn't easy to pull off such look if you aren't as cute as Sulli. :/


In conclusion, I highly recommend any kpop fans to quickly check their music video out. Excuse me while I fangirl over Victoria's perfect new blonde look!

Here is the music video for you peeps to watch! ^_^
