Up-Dated Korean Songs I Love List DBSK, SHINee, G Dragon

Ok, yes, I just posted a blog 20 minutes ago and I'm back posting another one, but I am not obsessed I'm just bored. Plus, I wanted to share the songs that I perhaps did not love right away but have come to really enjoy.

Let's start with DBSK! Yay! Alright! Oh, sorry. Anyway, this song is called Survivor and I've come to really like it. The first time I watched it all I could think was, 'Wow, they're trying really hard to look all, 'street' and 'tough' which is hilarious because they're too pretty to be hard and the song is too happy sounding to match their images. So I moved on after I was done watching it and didn't give it a second thought. I searched for it after I watched an interview they did where DBSK talked about Survivor and gave the song a second chance. Lo and behold, I loved it. Admittedly, I couldn't listen to it and watch the video at the same time because I just couldn't take it seriously, but I got over that pretty quick and now it's one of my favorites. Here it is: Survivor.


Isn't Max just too cute in this one?? I also like that there's so much english in it. I think it will make memorizing the song easier when I get around to it. This is another one of their Japanese songs.

There was also a SHINee song that I initially passed over but have since come to realize is actually really catchy. It's called Lucifer. The name was off-putting to me and they were also wearing a little too much makeup for my taste but once I got over it, the song had me humming for at least an hour.


It's got the randomness I've come to enjoy from them, the whole 'love-atronic' 'love-aholic' things and one of my fav moves they do is right in the beginning 23 seconds in, the really short thing where they have one arm straight in front of them and the other is patting the air to beat. Don't know why. Just like it. And the song is called Lucifer because they're saying that their girlfriend has a very beautiful sweet side like and angel and also a really mean, difficult side like a demon. And Lucifer was the most famous angel that can display both those things too.

Even though I'm not going to link any of their songs, I want to mention here that Super Junior has continued to hold my interest and I've begun to really like their music. They have an energetic quality that I really like and they have more good songs than just the ones that I have on my Super Junior post.

And now, a new artist that I haven't mentioned before. G-Dragon. He's solo, which is not my norm but he has a song that I really like called Heartbreaker. I actually only watched the video because at first glance he looks like Jeremy from You're Beautiful. I knew Jeremy had his own band so I had been kinda keeping an eye out for him just in case he showed up in one of my random searches of youtube. Well, turned out it wasn't him, but I like the song and the video entertained me. He's got this funny little version of the running man that cracks me up. But don't let me talk you out of watching it. Here we are: Heartbreaker.


I find his fashion sense entertaining. His sun glasses and face paint, and the mirror jacket... I don't know what to think of them except, hm, that's.... interesting. ~laughs~
If anyone is wondering about all the apples, the Korean word for apple is the same word for apology so it's a pun they use a lot.

I've got one last song that I'm adding more as a post script than anything else. I'm not particularly fond of the song itself since it's mostly rap and I don't have any appreciation for that form of 'song' but I do like the chorus and the video is semi entertaining as well. This group is called 2pm and the song is Heart Beat.


As another Post Script, I'd like to add that to my everlasting sorrow, I don't find their dancing quite as funny as I did in the beginning because I've become used to it. I watch them doing their steps now and I find myself thinking, that looks like fun, instead of 'that looks hilarious!' It's a little sad since I really liked laughing at them. But I guess respect is better in the long run and I've begun developing that for these Korean boy groups. ~Sigh~
