Newly Released Cover By Former Girls' Generation Member, Jessica Jung!

Jessica Jung just released a cover of Gravity by Sara Bareilles. In my opinion, it sounds better than the original. Her voice brings back memories when Girls' Generation had 9 members instead of 8. She just sounds so angelic and, yet, sad at the same time. Jung is currently working on a solo album that is said to be released in 2016.

Take a listen for yourself, the song starts at 4:20



I...I...I MISSED HER ㅠㅠㅠ !!!



What do you think of this cover? Don't forget to comment below :)

Popular K-Drama, Reply 1988, Has Hit A New Record

One of this year's most popular K-dramas, Reply 1988, has hit a new record in cable TV of an 18% viewership this past weekend.

This is a huge difference compared to the series' premiere episode, which received about 10% in ratings. Either way, this is a huge feat considering the fact that any half-way decent Korean program on air receives an average rating of 2%.

Reply 1988 stars Park Bo Gum and Girls' Day Hyeri.

Daebak!

I honestly can't wait until it comes on Viki.com. I'm still finishing Reply 1994.

Now you may be wondering "where's the audio?" If you click the "YouTube" link of the video, it is stated below the audio track is muted due to a copyright claim...apparently, this is not the case. Allegedly, an SBS staff member backstage accidentally muttered into a mic "Why are these kids putting on a musical now." So rude.

Since PSY is such a global icon/powerhouse, he was given his own separate stage to perform on. I must admit though, I wish I was there D:

10 Banned K-pop MVs

Do you think K-pop is all about aegyo and innocence? Well, here is a list of 10 banned K-pop music videos to make you think otherwise:

1. "Nice Body"- Hyomin



T-ara's Hyomin, without a doubt, looks gorgeous in this music video, however, KBS station could not care less. The hip swirl towards the end is what this MV banned.

2. "Full Moon"- Sunmi



Sunmi's "Full Moon" was banned for its sexual choreography. She was even forced to change it in order to perform this single at KBS, SBS, and MBC live.

3. "Up&Down"- EXID



One of my favorite K-pop groups, EXID! Unfortunately, they were banned for the hip thrust and booty shaking choreography.

4. "Joker"- Dalshabet



Besides the sexual choreography, Dalshabet's "Joker" was mainly banned for lyrical reasons. The word “좆” (pronounced“jot”) sounds similar to “조”(pronounced “joh”), which is a vulgar slur that refers to a particular part of the male anatomy. 

5. "Vibrato"- Stellar



Banned for sexual choreography (nothing new) and vaginal symbolism.

6. "Mommae"- Jay Park



"Mommae" was banned for se-ah, forget it! The video speaks for itself.

7. "Sorry I Was Busy"- Infinite H



This short single by INFINITE was banned from airing on KBS station for its profanity and incorporation of Japanese lyrics, which is a big no-no.

8. "One More"- Fiestar



Fiestar's "One More" was banned mainly due to its lyrics, which hint at a sexual threesome. Uh-oh.

9. "Bae Bae"- Big Bang



"Bae Bae" by K-Pop boy band powerhouse, Big Bang was banned for its "not-so-subtle" symbolism...I mean, do you see that syringe seen???

10. "Tough Cookie"- Zico



"Tough Cookie" by Block B's Zico received international criticism for its homophobic and racial slurs. At 3:18, the Confederate flag can be seen on his jacket.
