4Minute Hits Ur Heart June 2, 2010

Emotions: Also Shockingly Amazed

I recently wrote a post about MBLAQ’s new single, “Y,” and how shocked I was at how much I liked their new single.  I’ve just found another song that was also very good, which I never knew I would like.  4Minute has recently “hit my heart” (I know, super cheesy.)  They released a new single titled “H.U.H. (Hits Ur Heart).”  This song is a slow beat but very exciting song.

This is 4Minute’s forth single, and it has, I would say, been their best one.  Even though it is not the most exciting one, nor the most popular one, it has gained the most interest from me.  They debuted with their hit single, “Hot Issue” and continued to roar with success with the release of their second single titled, “Muzik,” along with the release of their first mini-album.  They released a second single from their album titled “What a Girl Wants.”  Then, after appearing in the Japanese entertainment for a while, they came back to Korea with their forth single, “H.U.H. (Hit Ur Heart).”

This song was one the most anticipated songs of 2010, and on the day it was released, I wasn’t that impressed.  That was because I never took the time to listen to the full song, but when I took a look at the music video, it was simply amazing.  Even though they are using the “dark sexy” concept that Girls’ Generation, Kara, and many other artists’ used, I think they did a good job in pulling it off.

Also, one interesting fact about one of their members, HyunAh, is that she used to be a Wonder Girls member, but withdrew from the group after promoting “Irony.”  I think it was both better for 4Minute and the Wonder Girls to have HyunAh in 4Minute, instead of Wonder Girls.

So, take a listen/watch for yourself:

Y…MBLAQ May 27, 2010

Emotions: Shockingly Amazed

Everybody knows the success that Rain had with his career.  However, along his release of his single, “Song that Will Hold You (널 붙잡을 노래),” he had planned for the five-membered male group MBLAQ to make a comeback with their second single.  I’m sure a lot of you have heard about this group when they debuted with their hit single “Oh Yeah.”

When they first released their single, I didn’t really like them and thought they were kind of old and just mini-“Bi/Rains.”  However, I was VERY wrong.  Right now, they are one the boy groups that I like the best.  I only started liking them after they had stopped their promotions for “Oh Yeah.”  But!  Their second single has been released, titled “Y.”  This concept is a very fashiony, white-and-black, and having glow-in-the-dark straps on their pants.  Their new song is not so loud or crazy, but rather calm and cathcy at the same time.

So, to talk a bit more about MBLAQ themselves; firstly, MBLAQ contains five members.  The five members are Seungho (the leader) (승호), Lee Joon (이준), G.O. (지오), Thunder/Chun Doong (천둥), and Mir (미르).  Taking on different positions in the group, they show a very strong skill in singing and rapping.

One interesting fact about their new single, “Y,” is that it was supposed to be one of  Bi/Rain/비’s singles; however he gave it up for MBLAQ.  I think that was rather a good choice, looking at how much popularity they are gaining.  Well, you can be the one to judge, so have a listen:
