Korean pop star Lee Hyori has started promoting “Hey Mr Big”, her second track from her latest album “It’s Hyorish”. Her first track “U-Go-Girl” was quite successful, topping most of the charts for a couple of weeks before being kicked off by competitors, particularly by Big Bang’s “Haru Haru”.

Here is is, the English subbed music video for Hey Mr Big [via Coolsmurf]… The song is just ok for me, but I like the MV; it’s a showcase of different fashion and style (and a little cosplay)… totally Hyorish…

“Haru Haru” (하루 하루 - Day by Day) is a song by Korean pop group Big Bang from their third and latest mini-album “Stand Up” which was officially released just a couple of days ago. The music video features actress/model Park Min-young as the MV model…

Korean pop diva Lee Hyori is back with her third album “It’s Hyorish”… it has been more than two years since she released her previous album.

Hyori made her comeback live performance last week (July 18) on KBS Music Bank, performing “Invincible Lee Hyori” and “U-Go-Girl”… [edited, video no longer available]

Frankly, I think the songs are just ok; like the live performance though.

There are speculations for the past year or two that Hyori is not as popular as she used to be… but with the charts-topping album sales and the media craze with her latest comeback, Hyori has just proved that she is still invincible.

Below is the full MV of U-Go-Girl, featuring hip-hop artist Nassun…

Music video of “Smile Again”, a song from I L♥ve Asia project by Korean celebrities to raise funds for Sichuan earthquake victims in China.

The song is produced by Korean singer-producer JYP in collaboration with Chinese superstar Jackie Chan; participating celebs include Jo Sung-mo, Park Yong-ha, Gan Mi-yeon, Chae Yeon, Kim Yuna, Han Ji-hye, Wonder Girls, Lee Jung-hyun, Kim Dong-wan, Kim Ah-joong, Shin Hye-sung, Kim Tae-hee, Han Hye-jin, Jeon Hye-bin, Jang Nara, Battle, Brown Eyed Girls and J-Lim etc.

“One and a Half”, a Korean song released in 1994 by the now disbanded band TwoTwo. The song was a hit across Asia before the K-pop craze started in late 90s… one of the very few Korean songs that managed to do so back then.


TwoTwo, One and a Half music video… kinda make me dizzy, but the song is good

I liked the song when I first listened to it (although not knowing who were the singers) when I was in high school; a cassette vendor near my house was obviously a fan of the song and played it quite often. Kinda forgotten about the song as time passes by until seeing a video on Youtube recently… still in love it.

TwoTwo was disbanded after releasing three albums; this song was from their debut album and was their biggest hit (and probably the only hit). The lead singer Kim Jong-min is still around, not doing too bad but not among the A-list stars… he is getting married this month or next and will become a father pretty soon.

The female singer Hwang Hye-young has recently re-emerging as an actress; her small role in sitcom “Unstoppable Wedding” managed to catch quite some attention, especially from the fans during the TwoTwo era.

I think I am getting old.

“Cry with Us” is a project album recorded by group of Korean celebrities to help starving children in North Korea. The project aims to give aid to the starving children of the north as well as to give them a message of hope. [Hat tip to Coolsmurf]

Note that the movie-clips from the music video are cuts from South Korean movie “Crossing” and not real footage; the movie is said to be based on real stories though.
