Winter Play – 집시걸 Gypsy Girl
Hello everyone. I know I’ve totally been MIA regarding this blog, BUT that does not mean I’ve been neglecting my k-pop (that would be blasphemous! LOL). Honestly, I’ve been all over the place and constantly ‘on-the-go’ lately trying to maintain my spiritual goals, school, family, social life and OF COURSE my k-pop addiction. I’m also gearing up for many travels (I’m moving, I’ll soon be going to the Hollywood Bowl and attending the Wonder Girls concert in NY). My mom calls me a gypsy… which I totally agree with. Not gypsy like those way back in the day known for apostasy, but gypsies that are travelers. “Gypsy Girl” may just become my new moniker. LOL Anyhoo, wanted to come and share a couple of k-pop happenings that you guys should check out! Click on the subheadings to go to the websites! ^^
Now, I like the Wonder Girls… I mean they’re cute and entertaining, but I have to admit that’s not the reason I’m going (yeah, I’m going ^^) or am promoting this. It’s been announced that (drumroll) ONEDAY will be their opening act!! Yes, 2AM and 2PM will open for their sunbaes (seniors) the Wonder Girls during their US tour this summer. How exciting! If you aren’t familiar with 2AM, 2PM or even the Wonder Girls, check out the videos below.
Wonder Girl’s 2008 hit song – “Tell Me”
2PM’s 2009 single “Heartbeat”
KPC – K-pop Connection & KPI – K-pop Interactive
I’ve been a listener of these shows for a few years now and I gotta tell you, they are my absolute favorite! If you love k-pop these radio shows are definitely for you! KPC is a 30 minute daily show Mon-Sat where DJs Young Kim and Angie Park dish on the latest in the k-pop world. They have various segments like “Old and New” where K-pop veteran DJ Young plays an old song and it’s remake; contest where listeners can win CDs and they usually ALWAYS play your request. Even if you write in some cryptic language, they’ll try their best to decipher it and play your song. LOL! On KPC Angie flies solo during an hour long Sunday show. There she does segments like “Words Behind the Music” where you can learn the meaning of k-pop songs; “Your Two Cents” which are responses to weekly questions Angie posts on her blog and sometimes “Star Chat” which is where she has the pleasure of interviewing a k-pop celebrity (past guest include members of SNSD, K.Will, IU, Brown Eyed Girls and recently BEAST!) Both shows are amazing and both of the DJs are extremely nice, so if you happen to visit them tell ‘em I sent you. LOL

(*TOTAL BIAS ALERT*) I really enjoy this blog because it has music, videos, pics and news about k-pop groups… mostly boybands. I think everyone should check it out when they have the time. ^^
Okay, there’s this group on in Seoul, Korea that’s been loading videos on Youtube and they’re called “WAWA Dance School”… and they are AMAZING! Within one or two days of a new k-pop release, they have the dance routine covered and posted for all of their fans to see. I usually don’t like to see amateur dance vids, but these guys are SO good that I had to subscribe to their account so I could watch their videos as soon as they are uploaded! LOL Apparently the account holder’s name is “Rookie” and he is a dance choreographer and arguably my favorite member. There are over 60 covers of k-pop dance moves, so you should definitely check it out!
Well, that’s it for now folks… until next time ^____^
