    Nerien - You can browse and view KPOP on GOMTV. (Credit to teamliquid kpop thread for pointing this out).

    They seem to have a bigger catalog than YouTube currently and all the new stuff seems to be on there very fast.

    If you http://ch.gomtv.com/2818/26624/470322]click this link[/url] it will take you to the new T-ARA song, but you can use the search box in the top right to search for whatever you want.

    You will need to download and install both GOM player and the GOM plugin for your browser in order to view the videos, although I assume you have them both anyway from watching GSL. Each video seems to come with a 10 to 30 second long advert before it loads the video you want to watch, but all the adverts are in Korean, and some of them are hilarious.

    Didn't find that thing to be very good, have lots of buffering with it sadly.

    On another matter something else talented ones that have been popular or not :p
    I've been digging trough the internet :p
    Want to show that k-pop is just not trash music with non talented singers.
    May not be the best examples but these ones are good.

    tomtom never got her own career started due to a car injury, been working as IU's vocal coach (big wonder how I found out about her <.<), don't know what she is up to currently.

    tomtom, ali and nabi


    tomtom + IU


    tomtom (only single she got out there sadly)


    Heading to some other artists.

    May Doni


    The Grace CSJH


    Another one if the first one don't satisfy.


    Third one.


    Lastly some a cappella by them


    More to come, yes I'm a little bored woke up way too early :p

    Following up with more The Grace CSJH only two of the members for their 2011 comeback though sadly.

    This post is not intended to be a followup of the previous one just listing of good things.

    First song catchy but not that amazing.

    MV first


    Then a live performance



    Other band Sunny Hill.





    Can't go by not having a IU song slip in.



    Then we thread into something that has been unfamiliar waters for me, the male side :eek:

    DBSK or TVXQ, first time listening to one of their songs, oh my this sounds good!
    Even if you are not a fan of boy bands suggest you at least give one of the videos a watch.
    Seriously really!

    Will share the starting order in which I explored their songs. They got more good songs just wanted to list a few of them.








    Then I went to check out some other of those bands. It was pretty bland from what I've found so far, but I will keep my eyes open for anything...

    2AM and 4MEN only other groups I found good :s






    Sorry for these lengthy two posts and if you got any interest in kpop suggest you take short look at one song each from the artists :p
    I know it would take ages to listen to all of these songs.

    Great posts Nerien.

    I have been listening to a lot of IU recently too. She really is good.

    Also listening to a lot of 2NE1.

    Never been a fan of SNSD/Girl's Generation, they got some decent music but nothing amazing imo.
    Those performances in USA not convincing me in the other way :p

    If someone didn't check out any of the DBSK MVs I would recommend the first one, live performance from them below.

    On the other hand new Davichi MV, it starts around 1:25


    Sticking in another MV from them just because I can :p


    Lastly a live performance by DBSK - Why did I fall in love with you, one thing I can say for sure they are quite good.

    What do you think of the English version ?

    Personally I think it is terrible. Their English singing ability is great, but the English version is just bad compared to the Korean version.

    That's exactly my point. It's so bad, which is really sad. I didn't really like this song in general, because it's obviously geared at appealing to the western market rather than being true to their general theme. Not happy :<

    What is their original theme in general, I'm curios?

    Ah good, for a second I thought you liked it, lol.

    I have to say, I don't mind the Korean version of the song that much. It's quite catchy.

    however, you are right, it is a big step away from their more traditional style of songs like Mr. Taxi, Gee, Genie etc.

    As long as they keep producing their old style for the Korean market, then all is good, but if this is the start of a permanent shift towards more Western themed songs, then its pretty much GEE GEE for me.

    See wut I did thar.

    Adorable stuff.







    Yep, I know that feeling. Idunno, I doubt they will stick with it, but I think they probably went "hey, we have a lot of fans outside of SK, what do we do?" and SMENT decide that making western pop music was the way to go. Noooope.

    I'm still not a fan of SNSD, but I do listen to their music at times when they appear on them but only keep a few of their songs on my playlist.

    My current favorite artists in the kpop world is

    IU
    4Minute
    Miss A
    Girl's Day
    Sunny Hill
    A Pink
    DBSK
    T-ara
    F(x)
    Chocolate

    Quite a few of them don't go very wild over boy bands yet :p

    Lastly miss A just released a new mini album, I find it quite good except for the song they made their mv for xD



    Links to a playlist from the mini album for anyone interested, personally I like the second one lips most.

    Why no KARA or 2NE1 Nerien ?

    Nice to see Girl's Day on your playlist. Minah so cute.

    Have to admit though, I think IU is currently the best voice in KPOP.

    Oh ye 2NE1 is also a really good band always forget about them I didn't check trough my playlist before :p

    For anyone that may be interested in my playlist you can check it out here http://grooveshark.com/playlist/Nerien s Playlist/64136904

    My favorite song by them.



    I feel KARA is overrated, they are not that good imo but still not horrible since I do check out any video of them on the kpop forums I visit.

    And ye IU is really amazing.

    Live performance of Good Day which still is my favorite song.

    Maskerad & Nerien - What do you make of this.....



    Spotted in in the TL Korean music thread earlier and I am not sure on it. As much as I like a rocked up version of GEE, I feel it would have been better if it stuck to the original lyrics and not English.

    I didn't like it that much, not a fan of their singing :p
