1) Ga-in, Irreversible.
^this is so typical kdrama its not even funny. I mean, it COULD be a drama, since it's an 11 minute "music video." But its got mystery, scorned love, a death, melancholy, the weird english, the works. Its basically everything about Korea pop culture rolled into an 11 minute music video. But I've always thought Ga-in's voice was interesting, and I love the tango thing going on. Skip to around 3:00 for the actual song.

^Discovered this song today and thought it was lovely.
3. Se7en, Going Crazy.
^Like the MV, love the song. Like that it features his real life girlfriend. They're so pretty together it borders disgusting, but in a completely not disgusting, totally jealous kind of way. se7en's one of the best live singers in kpop--his falsetto is crazy good.
4. 2NE1 covers Beyonce's Broken-Hearted Girl
^ you knew I couldn't do a kpop post with either 2ne1 or Big Bang. Loved their version, even if there were rough parts, hey, its not easy singing Beyonce. They also are one of the groups who have the best English pronunciation--even Minzy who doesn't know that much English, and Dara who has a Filipino accent. Loved Bom's voice. I really wish they would let her sing more in these kinds of songs, because her voice shines best in them.
look at you lovin' all this korean culture. When did the love for korea start, little filipino girl?
