October Music: Korean R&B

I have been terribly out of the Korean music loop recently.
Occasionally I see the odd update on my Facebook feed, but I haven't been solely actively seeking everything out.

I've been busy with university commitments, watching The Return of Superman (슈퍼맨이 돌아왔다) and The Apprentice. The former is so damn time consuming because of it's 1 hour 30 minute episodes, and the previews always makes me want to crave for more baby/toddler action! Meanwhile the latter has been making me double think about my career decision to dabble into the world of marketing. Earlier this month I attempted to do some job hunting at the graduate fair but unfortunately they're all very London/city based which isn't ideal since I live in a small town. I do have friends living in said cities, but it's actually quite burdensome to ask someone if you can stay at theirs for a long period of time. I'd rather start out small and then move onto the bigger things.

Anyway, enough of that depressing future career stuff. Let's sit back and admire these two new recent releases:



As One: For the Night
This is an incredibly sexy soft tune for the evening. Their voices are so lovely and light that it makes me wonder why I haven't attempted to actively search for their other releases after falling completely in love with their Awkward Love track -gulps- last year... Wow, time really does fly!
The MV is like something out of a softcore porno, rich muscular business man and a voluptuous maid. I very much enjoy oggling over the male lead's body though, yes. Apparently he's a member of TROY - I only know of Bumkey and KANTO in that group.




Crush: Sofa
Crush, my boo. Although I do like this track, I still very much prefer the older ones because they make me want to body roll and break out singing. Only the chorus makes me want to body roll and yell "SOFA!" so far. Haha, sofa, so far...
-ahem-

Alright, I'm off to do some readings about Lacan, Zizek, and Baudrillard for the rest of the day.

And so she says...

Hope you all had a great Christmas a New Years, and with New Years it comes with resolutions.
Oh yes, I'm making resolutions this year. Resolutions always get broken, it's a given. To me a resolution is something like a target or a mission to aim for as long as possible, if you broke it, you broke it, it's not like God is going to smite you for breaking a resolution. It's really just a motivational target.

Not that I have a set list of resolutions yet, but I can confirm that one of my resolutions is to utilise this blog more. So expect plenty more updates.
Now this resolution is actually linked to another resolution of mines: make more YouTube videos on Korean music.

I haven't died.

I've survived SM Town Paris and the SHINee at Abbey Road Studios fiasco. Although the possibility of me being run over/injured by a van was immensely high in the latter event.
I've uploaded all the pictures onto my Facebook, uploading them onto Photobucket and providing links later.
Uploading videos soon.
