Time Magazine Says Kpop is Going Global!

Big props for Johnny Noh and AllKpop for knowing that Kpop was going to be big and Time Magazine is now recognizing that.  Time interviewed Johnny and others about the growing popularity of Korean pop music.

“Korean artists are now out there,” says Johnny Noh, who runs the (AllKpop) site. “People like [Korean artists] and want to know more about them.”

For many artists in Korea’s booming music industry, social media like YouTube and Twitter have become crucial tools to reach audiences in formerly hard-to-access markets like the U.S. and Europe. 

Korean artists are bypassing traditional outlets like radio and television, “aggressively steering their efforts to go international via the Internet,” says Bernie Cho, president of DFSB Kollective, a Seoul-based agency specializing in the international marketing of Korean pop acts. 

“Social-media-savvy K-pop stars are now tweeting, YouTubing and Facebooking their way up music charts across and beyond Asia.”

2NE1’s Outfits for ‘To Anyone’ Album Concept Photos (PART III)

2NE1’s previous stylist Yang Seung Ho (aka Yanggeng) and Danny Lee (aka Sexy Danny Lee) have always placed the girls in trend-setting styles. During April-May 2010 period, YG Entertainment changed 2NE1’s stylist as Yang Seung Ho began his military service and Daniel decided to go back to London to further his studies. Now, Seo Han Young and Lee Han Jung, designers for the underground label Viva-H ( http://viva-h.blogspot.com/), and good friends of Yanggeng and Danny, are 2NE1′s new female styling duo.

With a change of stylists and changes in their hairstyles (since Etude House’s Pink Play Concert), 2NE1 girls showed different sides of themselves.  

Which is or are your favorite looks in these ‘To Anyone’ album concept photos?

2NE1’s Outfits for ‘To Anyone’ Album Concept Photos (PART II)

2NE1 in gorgeous black, rocker-ish, layered outfits for their outdoor filming scenes for their music video! One of my favorite looks on the girls among all the different sets and styles.

2NE1 in wild, tribal looks. Though I love the uniformity of this look, but only Minzy and CL managed to carry-off the looks (Park Bom and Dara still looked too feminine for this styling).

 

 

Casual yet stylish street styles are up next! Check out 2NE1’s vast variety of outerwears and accessories for these looks; much love! Apparels, accessories (especially CL’s sunglasses!), and shoes-wise are totally lust-worthy!

Get ready to Get Used with the Brown Eyed Girls!

Skin tight acid-washed jeans, laced-up ankle boots, and tie-dyed hoodies. These can rarely be pulled off by anyone but the Brown Eyed Girls that is Miryo, Ga-In, Jea and Narsha show us that they are not just anybody in the photo shoot for casual jeans brand, Get Used.

 

 In their latest endorsement with the casual jeans brand, Ga-In and Narsha took center stage and displayed a pretty, fun and tomboy-ish feel. Looking extremely beautiful in little to no make-up with some eyeliner and eyeshadow, I must say that all that was needed to make the shoot work is Narsha’s sultry smile and Ga-In’s stunning eyes.

 So, are you ready to own a piece of Get Used jeans for yourself?

Girls’ Generation – Genie Japanese music video

Japanese music video for Genie by Korean pop group Girl's Generation. Identical choreo and similar concept with the Korean Version, sexy legs, decent video…

 

I’m not sure if I’m stereotyped with the Korean version, but it sounds kinda odd to be frank. Out of all the K-pop groups that advanced to Japan recently, only Kara’s Mister sounds naturally like a Japanese song imo.
Genie will be officially released next month. If all those polls and surveys are trustworthy the girls should have a good chance to top the Japanese charts – the Oricon in particular – which would be a first for Korean female pop groups.
