Here’s the first of my project (LOL at myself) and my first victim is 4minute (포미닛) of Cube Entertainment.

4 Minutes Left: First Full Length Album

Start of Review: 09-28-11
End of Review: 09-30-11

First Impression:

  • Just another K-pop Girl Group with only one thing that separates them from the rest: sexiness.
  • Their member Gyoona‘s high-pitched voice is irritating.
  • Hyuna, whom I think is their most popular member, looks bitchy.
  • Their use of the English language is a massacre. It’s senseless & their pronunciation must be worked on.
  • They look like they don’t know what they’re doing exactly. Like the English phrases of their song kind of hinders them from understanding everything entirely.

4minute Members

Realization:
  • They’re constantly compared to 2NE1 because of the strong female image they both exude. But 4minute’s sexy twist draws the line.
  • They don’t easily fade in the background (compared to other girl groups that ain’t 2ne1, let’s be honest) because their voices are actually good. No wonder a lot of people really liked them.
  • Their music is actually the best of both worlds in the K-pop music industry. They have the right combination of girly dance music that is fun and the RnB-fuse flavoured music that sets the right beat.
  • I couldn’t stop playing their songs the past couple of days! I have overlooked these girls way too much!
  • I am not taking back, anyhow, my comment on their use of the English language. Insensible and terrible pronunciation. When I was listening to one of their hits, I My Me Mine, they were singing something that sounded like “…li-li-li-li-listen, click click click click!” and when I looked up for the romanized and English lyrics of that song (and the others too, of course) it actually said “…re-re-re-re-reset, click click click!” and I couldn’t help myself but find that very funny! :D
  • As for Gyoona, I appreciate her voice now though sometimes it’s still making me cringe; not really the typical high-note reacher. And Hyuna? Oh sexy! I just love her legs now, hahaha!
Verdict: 4 stars! ♥

Google Translate, my buddy, told me that it’s “Hello!” in Korean. :)

Last night, I thought of something that might bring my blog into life. Something that actually force the rocks of my brain and have a little fire ignited all right.

So here it is, The Korean Pop Wave.

I thought of doing so because of my brother who is ever so obsessed with this genre est. 2009. Korean music is indeed very entertaining but I find his obsession circling beyond that. He even watches variety shows that are in Korean!

He is not the only one though.

I had classmates who actually express themselves the way Koreans do. The people I met in Tumblr consider Kpop Music as their picker-upper during their break up nights and it’s crazy weird.

Not that I do not like Kpop, I do. I have some groups that I listen to but my fascination with them is limited with their music and looks. I do not even know most of their names and consider that one as a chore.

So two days ago I decided to try listening to some of these “idol groups” that I might have overlooked because of i.e. one of their member’s very high-pitched voice or how much they looked stupid singing English phrases that they seems ignorant about.

Now my plan’s this: I will be downloading songs from a certain group and appreciate. Create another blog entry (perhaps after 3 days of downloading) about this group and the ones that will follow. Hence, a review. :)

I know I have a lack of follow-through but I hope I can make this project a success. :)
