English subbed MV of Laugh (웃어) by Korean hip hop duo Mighty Mouth, featuring R&B diva Insooni. The song is the first track from the duo’s Smile mini-album…
The song is just ok for me, but I like its a-laughter-a-day-keeps-the-doctor-away theme. Another attraction of the video is the cameos from host of Korean stars, i.e. 4minute, Kara, After School, 2am, Epik High, Lee Seung-gi, Baek Ji-young, Taegoon, Kim Jong-kook, Kim Tae-woo, Jung Juri and Jewelry S etc.

Songs by Japanese girls group AKB48; Korean pop groups Tiara+Supernova and singer Ivy; and Taiwanese artist Angela Chang.
AKB48 – River
New song by AKB48, the group’s first Oricon weekly chart topper. And in case you missed my very old post, there’s 48 members in the group indeed… amazed lol?
Korean pop star BoA is taking a break from her American activities to release a Japanese single, Bump Bump, featuring Verbal from M-flo. Music video, and some black & white promotional pics further below…
Korean drama IRIS’s OST, titled Don’t Forget, sung by Baek Ji-young. The MV only focused on the love triangle between the three main characters in the spy-action thriller, played by Lee Byung-hun, Kim Tae-hee and Jung Jun-ho…
Nice song; Baek Ji-young did well to bring out the sorrow and emotions. Would be great to have a clean (without conversation) version.
IRIS is one of the most anticipated Korean dramas of the year. The star-studded show opened strongly on October 14; its English subbed episodes are scheduled to start showing on KBS World channel (lucky me lol) on Nov 11.
Other co-stars include Kim Seung-woo, Kim So-yeon and Choi Seung-hyeon.

Korean pop star Rain think that it’s a cool to name his new boyband as MBLAQ, which means Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality… which must be the weirdest group name I’ve ever heard.
The acronym doesn’t sound as bad, but it’s absolutely bizarre when they tried to justify what it means. Perhaps I’m too old to understand what the younger generations are thinking; the teenage fangirls might think that it’s a wonderfully cool name. (seriously?)
The boys are going to be popular as long as their performance aren’t too bad; K-pop world is dominated by pop groups in the past couple of years, and there’s room for a few more good looking guys or girls.
And having a famous boss like Rain certainly helps.
Hawaiian Couple, a cheerful song by Korean electropop band Humming Urban Stereo, released in 2007. Pretty cute MV too…
The MV starred the main cast from Korean film My Love, i.e. Gam Woo-sung, Choi Kang-hee, Jung Il-woo, Lee Yeon-hee and Uhm Tae-woong. The song was probably used as one of the movie OST as well.

Korean pop group SNSD performing their old debut song Into The New World at SBS Idol Bigshow, a special gig over the weekend to celebrate Chuseok…
The nine girls released their first single in August 2007; and despite various controversies (for example), they rose to fame gradually and became one of the top female pop groups at the moment.
