It’s not a new song. If not mistaken it was released in early 2000s, in Park’s “Promise” album.

Park Ki-young made her debut in 1998; she has released 7 albums over the years… the latest was in Sept 2007. I am not sure how famous she is in Korea, but she is not really well known outside of her homeland.

I like her voice though, and she’s pretty good in singing live too…

Park Ki-young and famous actress Park Eun-hye (of Daejanggeum fame) were classmates. They are still good buddies these days.

Big Bang was named the Artist of The Year at the 17th Seoul Music Awards on Jan 31. Last Farewell is a song from their mini-album “Hot Issue” which was released in Nov 2007.

Korean pop star and famous music producer Park Jin-young is set to wow the US audiences with The JYP Tour, featuring his protégés Wondergirls, J-Lim, Min and G-Soul.

The tour will kick start on Feb 9 at the Wamu Theater at New York’s Madison Square Garden, followed by Los Angeles’s Wiltern Theater on Mar 8. There are also plans for concerts at Atlanta and San Francisco, which are pending on announcement.

Besides the concerts, JYP will also hold auditions in NYC (Mar 9) and LA (Mar 15) to look for fresh talents to join his agency; more audition details from K-popped.

Jang Geun-suk is South Korea’s rising star. The 20-year-old artist gained wide notice in late 2006 with popular drama “Hwang Jiny” and his popularity continue to boost with recent fantasy-martial-art drama “Hong Gil Dong”.

The Recording Industry Association of Korea (MIAK) has announced that SG Wannabe tops Korea’s best selling album chart of 2007.

SG Wannabe’s “The Sentimental Chord” sold 190,998 copies, followed by Super Junior’s “Don’t Don” (164,058) and Epik High’s “Remapping the Human Soul” (120,301).

With South Korea’s 49 million populations, the sales figure is surprisingly low for a best selling album.

I know some JYP fans will welcome his comeback, but I would prefer him to stay as a producer instead… he has been working wonders over the past 6 years as a music producer.

Besides, Korean music scene has changed quite a lot in the last few years… I am not sure if Korean fans would still accept the extremity of JYP’s music and performances.

Below is JYP’s latest music video, “Kiss”… not recommendable for underage.

Korean teenage girls-group Wonder Girls with their “Tell Me” music video; the MV is a bit silly, but cute… fit the bill for a group of young girls ain’t so?

Tell Me is a song from WG’s debut album “The Wonder Years” which was released in September (they previously released a single “The Wonders Begin”). The song also marked the debut of new member Kim Yoo-bin who replaces Kim Hyun-ah who quits the group for health reasons.

Tell Me has been quite a hit since its release, partly thanks to a video (below) from their producer JY Park. The video was made by Park when he was in New York, with himself showing the dance moves that he created for the girls. It was quite a hit in Korean forum when it was released, and spurred the interest for the actual Tell Me MV…

JY Park (Park Jin-young) was a pop singer himself before establishing his company (JYP Entertainment) and become a producer. His most successful ‘product’ so far has to be superstar Rain, but Rain is no longer working with his company.
