K-POPified! (part 2)

Let’s continue shall we.

5) 4minute, T-ARA, and f(x) – 3 songs each

Bercerita sedikit tentang 4minute, another energetic girl group that only debuted last year, tapi telah member impak yang sangata significant kepada dunia K-POP as a whole. They have some really catchy tunes under their belt, such as ‘MUZIK’ and their latest track, ‘HuH (Hit ur Heart)’. They even have an ex-Wonder Girls member which is Hyuna. She’s my favorite member dari girl group ini juga. Another charismatic performer and I am digging his solo track ‘Change’, released earlier this year.

Talking about T-ARA, they are the most active and hardworking rookie girl groups of last year with tons of singles and releases. Tapi, the addictive song entitled ‘Bo Peep Bo Peep’ puts them up as a viable and popular idol girl group in Korea. Member kegemaran aku dari grup ni adalah leader mereka, iaitu Eunjeong. She is visually attractive and can rap as well.

Another girl group darI SM Entertainment yang aku minat selain SNSD adalah f(x). This rookie girl group yang debuted pada 2009 ada auranya yang tersendiri. What is more interesting about them is that their members consist of girls from different countries and not just Korea alone. Not a fan of their first two singles, but definitely loving their latest track, ‘NU ABO’. My favorite member is the tomboyish Amber, which is also the rapper within the group and the more masculine, perhaps?

Now that we are done with the girl groups, aku akan beralih focus kepada idol groups lelaki pula. My sisters are huge fan of these groups. I am not into them that much but they do come up with quality and catchy tunes that kept playing in my head. Without further adieu, here it is (rankings is based on the songs that I have when this entry was written):

1) 2PM – 8 songs

First place is of course my favorite from the bunch, 2PM. Perhaps the best and most complete male idol group out there because they come with full package of looks, vocals, and most importantly unbelievable dance move on the stage. They are also so damn funny in variety shows. Actually, they are the first male idol group that caught my attention. Kiranya tak boleh tak tengok mereka perform. I have several tracks from them yang aku truly suka, such as ‘Heartbeat’, ‘Again and Again’ serta ‘Hate You’, but perhaps the best song from them that I like the most is ‘Tired of Waiting’. My favorite member dari grup ni is actually the ex-member, Jay Park. Walaupun dia dah tidak bersama dengan 2PM, I still follow him closely through Youtube. He is a complete entertainer, to say the least.

2) SHINee – 6 songs

SHINee is another group from SM Entertainment yang aku minat. They are a male idol group that is truly refreshing to see, with nice songs under their belt. Yang penting, my sisters are a huge fan of this group. So, I have to follow suit as well and dare I say, minat aku terhadap grup ni grew by each day. Especially loving the addictive track of ‘Ring Ding Dong’. Favorite member aku dari grup ni adalah Minho, simply because all of my sisters are a huge fan of him.

3) Big Bang – 5 songs

The only male idol group out there yang memperjuangkan irama hip-hop. Truly a big fan of this group because they brought in different sound yang sangat best dan menangkap. I have no preference of favorite members kerana just like SNSD, each of them are very unique on their own. But, given a chance aku sangat meminati leader mereka, G-Dragon kerana he is a stylo and trendy guy. Songs daripada merea yang aku minat adalah ‘Lies’ dan ‘Haru Haru’. I just can’t wait for their comeback scheduled for this summer.

4) Super Junior – 4 songs

The premier male idol group out there right now, aku masih lagi terkilan kerana tak dapat pergi ke konsert mereka hari tu. Sayangnya, kedudukan kewangan memaksa aku untuk tidak pergi ke konsert mereka di sini. Anyways, Super Junior consist of (currently) 10 members that are very versatile and talented in every aspect of the K-POP entertainment world. Lagu-lagu kegemaran aku from them is of course ‘Sorry, Sorry’ serta track terbaru mereka ‘Bonamana’. Heechul is my favorite member because he has a very good and hilarious sense of humor whenever he is on a variety show.

Well, itu adalah ranking male idol grup kegemaran aku. Aku nak letak other groups such as 2AM, Beast, MBLAQ, U-KISS dan lain-lain juga. Namun, tahap minat aku belum sampai tahap yang membolehkan aku menulis more about them. Lain kali, mungkin?

Au Revoir.
