We GFriend Fans Have Been Bestowed With a Name!

Earlier today, GFriend got together with their fans for their one-year anniversary debut during a showcase on the V app. During the showcase, GFriend performed "Me Gustas Tu" and "Glass Bead" along with their recent single, "Rough." After their performance they announced their new fandom name....drumroll please. *Drumrolls*....BUDDY! Yes, we are now Buddies! GFriend thanked their fans by stating, "If we hadn’t had you with us for the past year, we wouldn’t be here." Soon after, a cake was brought to the stage congratulating their success while fans in the audience help up signs saying "You’ve worked hard for the past year! Good luck with ‘Rough’!" Seeing this, Yerin caught the feels. Aww Yerin D:



 ALSO, just recently, GFriend's album, Snowflake, is now #1 on iTunes K-pop section! Daebak, GFriend! Hwating!

More THG: What GFriend's Rough MV Did To Me

Slayed By SlayFriend

Their Oxford, preppy style. Their choreography. I don't know which one I like more ㅠㅠ. GFriend's "Snowflake" music video was just released today. Whatever GFriend fandom name is (I looked all over the Internet, and can't find anything), I'm now part of it. To me, GFriend reminds me why I fell in love with k-pop which was several years ago. They show off the innocent side of k-pop without being overly cute. 

I like the choreography of their music video because it wasn't the typical booty-shaking, hip-swaying dancing that most k-pop girl groups have adopted. Their lack-of-makeup, natural look makes them looks so authentic. Sometimes, not all the times, when I see too much makeup on a k-pop idol, I can't help but think how she looks under all that makeup if I don't know already. In case you missed it, the "Snowflake" music video is below.

Kim Jaejoong New Album Coming Soon!

Ooooo...k-poppers, we have been bombarded with so many comeback announcements and we are not even a month into the new year! I have such high hopes for k-pop this year! Anyways, one of k-pop's hottest idols, in my opinion, Kim Jaejoong, is coming back with a new album. It just has been announced that he will be releasing his 2nd solo album on February 12th. The album includes 12 songs with a variety of genres: pop, ballad, jazz, rock, etc. Kim wrote 9 of the songs himself and it took 6 months for him to create the album before his military enlistment. He announced several of the songs during his last concert before his enlistment.

But that's not all! Jaejoong will be releasing one song from his new album on his birthday, January 26th. That is also the same day when fans can pre-order his new album. The song to be released on 1/26 is called "Do You Understand It?" and it's about an emotional roller coaster a man goes through while in love. Stay tuned for more Jaejoong updates!

WINNER EXIT : E track list

01. BABY BABY
Organ, string, electronic guitar and many other instruments form harmony. This six-eight time blues pop song gives glamorous yet acoustic feeling. This song is addictive and simple. The truthful lyrics stand out, as it contains the theme of loneliness which anyone could have experienced. Nam Tae Hyun personally participated in producing and arranging the song and raised its quality.

02. 센치해 (SENTIMENTAL)
This song is a lyrical minor pop song that projects WINNER’s gentle voices. Nam Tae Hyun produced the song, expressing the sentimental feelings with witty lyrics.

03. 철없어 (IMMATURE)
Cheerful rhythm, rock feeling guitar with unique synth sound fill the song along with rhythmical raps on addictive melodies.

04. 좋더라 (I’M YOUNG)
The plaintive ballad with lyrical electronic piano sound and soft voices forms harmony. Nam Tae Hyun produced the song and expressed his true feeling towards love as if he is writing a diary.

05. 사랑가시 (PRICKED)
“사랑가시” is an ENTRY SINGLE that started off WINNER’s 2016 PROJECT “EXIT MOVEMENT”. It is a medium-tempo ballad song that consists of sweet and lyrical guitar riff with Song Min Ho & Nam Tae Hyun’s unique and doleful emotions.

Please give us your much support and interest.

Thank you.

Wonder Girls New Album Coming Soon!

Wonderfuls, you're in for a treat. Wonder Girls will be coming out with a new album this spring! It will be self-produced. As you might have remembered, Wonder Girls came out with a new album last summer called Reboot. The album was released after their hiatus following the departure of Sohee and Sunye and the return of Sunmi. The song "I Feel You" absolutely slaaaaayed me and I really liked the 80s vibe. Expect an "upgraded Wonder Girls" in the spring. Hm, I wonder (heh) what that can mean...maybe an extra member?
