WOOTS ~ Dancing sensation AJ's brand new debut is generating a lot of interests. First, the guerilla street dance promotion video, followed by netizens slamming him for not being original/creative enough to make up his own dance moves in the promotion street dance video. Anyway, it's been a long time since there is an artist that I really want to blog about and that is AJ debuting with his hit single "Dancing Shoes".

It seems that being JYP's tutelage will guarantee success for budding korean singers wannabe. AJ has the baby boy looks, the moves, the trendy voice - suave enough to make all the ladies swoon. Combined together with JYP's creative marketing tactics, you get a singer who is set for success. Look at the sucess of 2am, Wonder Girls, G.O.D., Rain who were/are under JYP 's record label. JYP sure knows how to make the netizens interested, by casting Hyun Ah (Ex-wondergirls) inside the music video. After watching the music video, I think i really need my dancing shoes fix.

Wonder girls are back with a retro 60s single titled "Wonder Girls Trilogy". The main single that has been featured is "Nobody" which has been leaked through the internet even before the release of the single. The retro image is interesting and has been receiving lotsa love from the netizens(reminds me of 60s 70s 80s Namie Amuro's Vidal Sasson advertisement). The bowl cut is all the rage now and i definitely think it's cute.

The MV itself is funny and provides comical relief of seeing JYP stuck inside the toilet bowl. It starts off with JYP's famous song "Honey" back in the 90s and seeing the dancing gorilla like this, makes me kinda naseous. What is funny is that in the MV, they portary Wonder Girls as an accidental pop group, while in reality, we all know how much effort JYP put in to groom these girls (some of them are lacking in the talent department).

Oh a side note, I woke up with a puffy upper eyelid. SIAN.

Wonder Girls - NOBODY

The Wonder~ Girls~ are back!

I'm not jesting, there is a new sensational korean girl band named Wonder Girls (Wonder~ Girls~, this is how you pronounce, wavily). They are taking the entire nation (Korea lah, u think SG meh) by storm with their ultra catchy, super cute song titled "Tell me". It is an epidemic back in Korea, almost everybody knows how to dance the Tell Me dance. Watch it before you shrug your shoulders and think to urself..yet another girl band. What is awesome about Wonder Girls is that the youngest members in the group are only 15 years old while the oldest members is only 19 years old.

Managed by JYP entertainments ( here's the man himself-he looks like a gorilla to me and is a weird but fantastic singer-dancer-producer all in one), the girls were selected after a series of auditions. After one fatal car accident that involved their van (all the girls, manager and stylist) and a taxi (taxi driver died, 9 people were injuried, all of them were hopsitalised), one member being replaced as she wanted out of the group due to health concerns, the Wonder Girls are still pimping the music scene since their debut in this year's February. With JYP, you can always expect creative marketing strategy to sell the girls, erhm and their music successfully. As the girls are still underaged, it would be a problem if JYP tried to dress them up as hookers, while they pole dance, Korea will be in a rage. So what did JYP do? He gave them the 80s retro look (which looks good on the lead singer) and taught them how to dance sexily in short skirts/pants. Their sound is infused with tonnes of catchy eurobeat rhythm, which I must say, is actually pretty pleasant to the ears and their MV is CUTE. REALLY.

The Wonder Girls are touted to be JYP's (Jin Yoong Park) favourite, after Rain decided to leave JYP to form his own Rainy Entertainments and tried to make it big on his own in USA, which he failed miserably. They are so popular that a recent internet auction for a single dinner date with the Wonder Girls revealed that the top 5 bidders were willing to spend approximately $3500 - $ 5500 (USD). I bet only horny, desperate, perverted uncles are willing/able to spend/fork that amount of money to satiate their lolita tendencies and try to get intimate with the young under-aged girls (I guess when gorilla JYP is not around).

Enjoy the MV and compliation video, it's really infectious.
