Why do Koreans speak so many languages? Virtually every Korean I know speaks three or more languages - and here, BoA is no exception. For her upcoming album Look Who’s Talking coming out next year, BoA released this single Eat You Up, featuring all-English lyrics and a urban/hip-hop/dance style. That and the title of her album is probably a good indicator of what her full-album is going to sound come a few months.

Pretty good, though I believe cannibals all over the world will probably take this to be their anthem and theme song.
This also marks the second thing we’ve covered that has no Asian languages in it, but is merely sung by an Asian singer. Read the rest of this entry »

Korean boy band has released (also known as 東方神起 or TVXQ) their fourth studio album, Mirotic, with styles of mostly rap/hip-hop. Overall, a nice album - I particularly like “넌 나의 노래” and 악녀 (Are you A Good girl). (This is short, b/c I have so much work to do. )

Review

Anyone who listens to Korean pop, should know about the mainstream artistes such as Wonder Girls and Big Bang. The latter is very active, releasing hit after hit, in the form of mini albums, and concert cds. They’ve swept the continent of Asia by storm, and their fans are regularly surprised by the release of mini albums, and this third mini album Stand Up is no exception., released on 08/08/08.

Review

Following the controversy over her last album, “Dark Angel“, which was released in February 2006, Hyori Lee has been pretty quiet in the Korean music scene. She released a few singles here and there in the year 2007, namely Anycall and Toc Toc Toc, but fans were unsure about what would happen to their favorite sexy Korean idol. In May 2008, Hyori Lee broke the silence by collaborating with Jung JaeJyung in singing A Cat on the Roof. This digital single strayed from Hyori Lee’s image from previous albums, and allowed fans to see a dramatic change in her. The question on everyone’s mind was, did she change for the better? That question was answered with the release of her third and latest album, It’s Hyorish in July 2008. The album was met with mixed reactions, and it’s really up to the listener to decide if they like it or not.
