Actress Kim So Eun and 2PM’s Junho had a romantic date playing the piano together when they first met.
On March 24th, MBC will broadcast a music romantic reality program titled, ‘Music and Lyrics‘, and Kim So Eun and Junho will be the second couple to appear on the show.
The same aged Kim So Eun and Junho sat next to each other and played “Chopsticks” on the piano together. They set a very care free vibe and showed their romantic and sweet nature.
Staff members who watched them together said, “Even though it was the first time they met they looked really good together. We feel that the future broadcasts will also be filled with romance and fun,” raising anticipation for the love song that the two will play together.
Netizens who saw the photo of the two responded, “Piano date~? It is Spring. I am envious!“, “So Eun’s and Junho’s eye smile looks the same. They look good together“, and “I am really looking forward to this couple! I will make sure to watch the original broadcast.”
‘Music and Lyrics’ puts together a male singer and a female actress, and the two create a love song together. The program will follow them throughout this process. The first couple was Yoon Gun and Park Shin Hye.
MBC’s music romantic reality program, ‘Music and Lyrics’ will air on March 24th at 11:00 p.m. KST.
SHINee released their mini-album “Sherlock” and fans have been anxious for the music video. Well, the wait is finally over!
True to the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ theme, the MV has a bit of a detective story and in true SHINee fashion, the choreography is outstanding. Additionally, Jessica of Girls’ Generation makes a cameo appearance!
We previously reported that Big Bang‘s G-Dragon and T.O.P would be featuring in English artist Pixie Lott‘s new album.
The duo lent their voices for the track “Dancing On My Own” on Pixie Lott’s Japanese version of her album ‘YOUNG FOOLISH HAPPY‘ that dropped on March 21st. Both G-Dragon & T.O.P showed off their impressive English in the track.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting to hear the collaboration – tell us what you think below!
Everyone’s favorite pastel covered princes of K-Pop are back, but really, with Minho’s seductive whispering driving fangirls and fanboys mad, SHINee needs no further introduction. It’s been nearly 2 years since their monster hit “Lucifer”, and fans have been chewing on their keyboards for their ‘Sherlock’ album to drop.
Is this the comeback we’ve all been waiting for?
SHINee‘s title track “Sherlock (Clue+Note)” is something that SM Entertainment likes to label as a “Hybrid Remix” or what the rest of the world knows as a “mashup”. But sarcasm aside, the idea is actually executed quite brilliantly if you take the time to appreciate it.
The tracks, by themselves, are pretty mediocre with some great moments scattered throughout, but when you put them together, the experience improves. “Clue” carries an infectious hook but the instrumental can a bit rampant at times with its blaring synths, whereas “Note” packs a head bobbing bass-line but fails to actually go anywhere. But SHINee‘s flawless vocal harmonies blend the two key points of both songs seamlessly in “Sherlock.” Rather than seeing “Sherlock” as a mere cut-and-paste rework of the two songs, accepting them as two songs and taking “Sherlock” further into detail, makes the album experience a little better.
“Sherlock (Clue+Note)” takes SHINee back a few records, revisiting sounds of their previous hits “Love Like Oxygen” and “Juliette”, but as far as production quality and the composition are concerned, it’s their most sophisticated and modern title yet. Not to mention, the sherlock theme suits the pretty boys well, while serving as the perfect ribbon to bundle the tracks together.
SHINee takes us a bit further down memory lane with K-Pop/R&B ballads “Alarm Clock” and “The Reason”. K-Pop/R&B (K&B?) being a particular niche for most SME boy bands, SHINee’s performance on the track doesn’t let us down. The two tracks seem more like album tracks that belong on their debut ‘Replay’ EP, but nevertheless, reassures us of their perfectly polished and distinct voices.
In between SHINee‘s baby-making album fillers is “Stranger”. The heavy and wide saw bass synth that SM abuses with f(x), makes its way in this classic SHINee hook track. Those who aren’t a fan of SHINee‘s retro dance grooves will probably love how “Stranger” brings out the “Lucifer” and “Ring Ding Dong”s out of the boys.
If there’s a chance at all of SHINee having one more single before another record or repackage, I think many of us would love to see this as single #2. Here, SME proves to us again that they’ve got a great ear for pop music. Explosive choruses turning heads once they hit, but with verses just as memorable; “Stranger” is just one of the many fine examples.
Just like any other SM produced record, we have those off tracks that don’t really fit in the album to keep the album interesting. Closing the record, we have “Honestly”, an acoustic ballad that showcases that sweet, lovable side to SHINee their fans will always remember that by. Though not a classic like TVXQ‘s debut single, “Hug”, it’s nice to hear SHINee modernize a familiar SM sound.
Aside from an awesome production and a nearly perfect sherlock theme coursing throughout the tracklisting, we’re left to wonder, are we impressed? Is this exactly what we’ve been waiting for 2 long years?I have to say, when I first snagged the album off iTunes, it was an absolute no. This is all stuff we’ve already heard before and though 2 or 3 not-so-experimental filler tracks don’t seem like much, that’s already half the record.
But let’s put things into perspective. In today’s extremely fast paced (especially in Korea) pop market, we’re constantly seeing artists try on new bizarre accessories and irrelevant concepts. That’s just become the norm. But what I’ve come to realize is that ‘Sherlock’ is so distinctively SHINee, and the elements presented here are ones that will hopefully always stay.
There isn’t anything that I’d dislike more than SHINee rehearsing their exhausted little bodies out to another tired, old dubstep routine, which has already been beat down to death in K-Pop after HyunA‘s “Bubble Pop” went viral on Youtube. Would I have liked to hear something from SHINee we haven’t heard before? Yeah that’s what I had hoped, but putting my expectations aside, it seems only logical that SM wanted to remind all us what SHINee is about, and what makes the group so appealing.
Just like SHINee’s sister group f(x), the band is errorless with all its performances and overall presentation. Though the guys aren’t as established on a public scale as Girls’ Generation, Super Junior or TVXQ - sound and image-wise they are, and maybe even more so than their seniors. No need to fret, SHINee‘s got a lot of room to grow, so I guess we’ll just have to wait for their full length album to see some of that creativity we’re all craving.
After sweeping hearts in Korea with their funky single, ‘Oppa Has Arrived‘, Super Junior‘s Eunhyuk and Donghae are gearing up to do the same with the unleashing of their new Japanese music video for “Oppa Oppa”.
With its retro-disco vibe and entertaining lyrics, the song is bound to get fans in Japan to scream “Oppa Oppa”!
Although the boys have not yet unveiled the full or long version of the PV, the short version should hold you over in the meantime!
