Did I sounded offensive when I asked or you just don't like using emoticons?

G.NA never looked better! So excited for her comeback now!

BOUNCE MV!

I don't get the Korean album/single release technique. Why do they release the lead single off an album on the same day the album comes out, etc.?

I really hope someone can make it big! It's about time! Ugh!

Shinee, Miss A, Wonder Girls are too good that they can't just flop in the USA once a new album pops out! they need to have a huge platform! Shinee in America or Europe, they would be massive IMO!

Because they usually only have 4 weeks of promotion and the album market isn't big. Unlike western artists, k-pop stars only have like 3 shows to promote their albums, and that's why they go there every week. But these shows have rules (they're like charts), so they can't go there anytime they want.
South Korea's album market is small, they can't milk their albums like wester singers do because their albums sales are already bad after the second week of release. That's why k-pop singers have many comebacks through a year.

G.NA looks hot, excited for 2Hot!

Okay so if they usually release albums on Thursday, right? As a hard copy?! But the lead single off the album is only released digitally, right? On the same day?

G.Na - 2HOT (MV Teaser)

The delicious men in that teaser....

Plus, her mini-album's out
2HOT
I'll Back Off So You Can Live Better (English version)

[crazycool]

G.Na's new mini album is pretty good - but she's pretty hit and miss most of the time. Her uptempos are AWESOME but her ballads are just bland. "2Hot" is aceeeeee.

T-ara - Round and Round (MV)

This is horrible. Wacky cheesy song, lazy choreography.

This song's almost going to be the follow up to "Roly-Poly" but luckily, "Cry Cry" saves it.

It's a cover of an '80's song from Nami.

[crazycool]

I don't think Bingeul Bingeul was ever going to a proper follow-up to Roly-Roly - more like what "Roly-Copy In Copacabana" was. Bingeul Bingeul kind of sucks, but it's a nice treat I guess.

T-Ara is officially going to return with an eight memeber & new album in early July!
