[News] Infinite’s Sung Yeol Brightens Up with Message from SNSD’s Taeyeon

After telling every other person that his ideal lady is Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon, Infinite’s Sung Yeol became the happiest fanboy ever when Taeyeon personally sent him a video message.

In an upcoming episode of SBS’ The Law of the Jungle, the exhausted cast was given something to get energized by. The program staff showed the cast video messages from their loved ones.
Not a single eye was dry as families and friends cheered on the cast. Sung Yeol especially couldn’t stop the tears from falling as his mother worried for his safety and health onscreen.
However, the tears seemed to instantly evaporate as Taeyeon’s face came on and Sung Yeol’s face burst into a big smile.
He was later asked what he thought about Jo Yeo Jung, who was the only female participant on the program.
“This nuna…is just a jungle nuna.”

Rihanna & Drake Leave VMA After Party Together! Kind Of! Did They Cuddle In Her California King Bed?

If your name is Chris Brown, you might want to skip right over this story!

After Sunday night's totally titillating twerkfest on MTV, New York City was awash with supr-seXXXy celebz looking to crash any amazeballz VMA after party they could find!

What are the odds, then, of Rihanna and Drake stumbling into the very same shindig?????

First they went on a pre-award show dinner date, but the Started from the Bottom singer knows better than most that it's not where you begin that counts, it's where you wind up!

And it's very possible they wound up spending the night together because cameras caught them leaving the same PH-D Rooftop Lounge after party just MINUTES apart!!!

We can't be sure they hooked up, but the We Found Love starlet was in high spirits as she made her exit! She was excited to be going somewhere!!!

Was there an after after party in Drake's pants? Did Ri show him some of her juicy dance moves?

Maybe they rendezvoused for a cup of late night coffee at an out of the way dinner and discussed Drake's infinite sadness?

K-pop Gone English

K-pop Gone EnglishHere at Seoulbeats, various forms of fan made media have been covered. K-pop mashups? Check. Fanfiction? Check. Smut? Check

K-pop Gone English

Here at Seoulbeats, various forms of fan made media have been covered. K-pop mashups? Check. Fanfiction? Check. Smut? Check. The penchant of the Exo fandom for their inside jokes and edits? Check. So what is there left to talk about?

As a book lover and fanfiction writer myself, one of my favorite things to do is to look at the translations of K-pop songs that catch my ear. From the heartbreakingly beautiful “Amazing” by Infinite, Beast’s own masterpiece “Fiction” and the tear inducing “Don’t Want to be an Idol” by Vixx — those are just some of my personal favorite songs for their lyrics alone. But knowing the lyrical translation is not enough, sometimes. And since this is the K-pop fandom, you know there’s bound to be an English cover for your favorite songs.

In the sea of fan made material, K-pop English covers are somewhat overlooked in the countless fanart, fan edits and dance covers. But among the numerous English covers of our favorite K-pop songs, there are several that have stood out. There are three reasons why this is so: 1) the same emotions in the original are invoked, 2) the meaning of the song is not lost in the translation and, 3) the quality of the end product.

Seoulbeats has in the past featured PeuyeumUS, the sibling duo whose K-pop English Covers have won over many fans; but there are many memorable English language covers out there, and listed below are just a few. Some have views in the thousands, some have barely a thousand.

“The Boys” – Cover by tripstoomuch; Original by SNSD

Yes. “The Boys” from SNSD, infamously produced by Teddy Riley with an equally infamous English Version that the group performed on Letterman and Live! With Kelly. But let’s forget all about that and focus on this cover. The cover is an acoustic one and — I may be killed here — but may just be even better than the original. One of the negative points of the original was the clutter of the background, making the song sound unpolished and unfinished. But here, without the clutter of the background music in the original and with just a guitar to work with her voice, this cover nails it. Lyrics-wise, it adapts the released English version so nothing to comment on there. With only 770 views at posting, this deserves even more views.

“Ready to Get Hurt (On and On)” – Cover by Christopher Jordan; Original by VIXX

Back in January this year, VIXX made a comeback that captured attention and has been rising in popularity since then. The song that started their rise? “Ready to Get Hurt (On and On)” which saw the boys go into a darker theme of noble vampires; and the song reflected it, giving us a sense of grandiose without it being overbearing and while sticking to the synth pop that VIXX has been doing. So this cover came as a surprise. It almost sounds as the demo of the song itself. The lyrics are an almost word-for-word translation and minus Ravi’s English in the beginning, it sounds even more grand. True, the rap is missing here, but it covers all bases and is worth not just a listen, but a download.

“Peter Pan” – Cover by Silv3rT3ar; Original by Exo

“Peter Pan” is one of the many quality songs from Exo’s first album, XOXO. Without looking up the translations, one could already hear the various mentions to the fairy tale Peter Pan. The original sounded fine and made use of the background to give a feel of searching for someone you love before going to the chorus where they tone it down a slight notch before picking it up again — kind of like the stages of a story. This cover takes this to a new level. With just a guitar, the cover takes the original and gives us a song that is less upbeat and more heartfelt. It gives us the longing just hinted at in the lyrics of the original.

“Going Crazy” – Cover by MoA feat. emceeRANTSOM; Original by Secret’s Ji-eun feat. B.A.P’s Bang Yong-Guk

Back in 2011, Secret’s main vocalist, Ji-eun, had a solo début with “Going Crazy” which featured Bang Yong-guk who later debuted as the leader of B.A.P. This cover features no change in the background. It captures the same haunting beginning and pleading chorus. The rap sections were covered quite well as well, giving the same feeling as in the original. Amongst the covers listed, this is probably the most known and it is easy to see why. It sounds just as polished as the original and leaves the same impression as the original.

“Fiction” – Cover by girltarist; Original by Beast

In Beast’s discography, “Fiction” stands as their crown jewel. It propelled the group to new heights and it can be attributed to the overall production of the song as well as the lyrics. It told a story of a man who, after being left by his lover, sought to relive their love again and again by writing their story down — the only difference being a happy ending. This cover carries the same lyrics and gives the same sorrow and longing found in the original. It is emphasized throughout the cover and at the 3:29 mark, the emotional climax of the song kicks in. It is an almost word-per-word translation and that together with the emotional likeness is why this is one of the best covers of “Fiction.”

These are just some examples of K-pop English covers. How do you like them, readers? Do they also give you the same emotions as the original? Did it enhance your listening experience by being able to sing along with it in English? There are many other English covers lurking around so if you have one that is as quality as those above, go ahead and share!

Best Song Covers: K-pop Idols Singing English Songs Part II

Mainly because the song is extremely sexual, suggestive, and there are some high notes in the song. But fortunately, it was great and innocently sexy. Pussycatdolls's "Button" is one of my favorite songs and Taeyeon, Gain, and Sunye's rendition of it wasn't too bad, not bad at all...

It's this feeling of closeness we feel to them that they know the same songs we do and they can sing it like we do. Does that make sense or am I just alone on this? K-pop idols love American music like the rest of the world and absolutely love doing covers of their favorite pop singles...

“I Can’t Become a Lady” (translated from the Korean ‘숙녀가 못 돼’)” is the title track of Kara’s “Full Bloom.” This is the first time that Kara will be promoting a title track in Korea that doesn’t use English words in the name.

Inside The World Of Pop Guys: How Crayon Pop Earned An Army Of Male Fans In Their 30s With ‘Bar Bar Bar’ [VIDEO]

Crayon Pop, Bar Bar Bar, Pop Guys Five-member girl group Crayon Pop has risen to the top of the charts and earned millions of fans with their hit single "Bar, Bar, Bar," officially released last week, and the accompanying music video

Crayon Pop, Bar Bar Bar, Pop Guys

Five-member girl group Crayon Pop has risen to the top of the charts and earned millions of fans with their hit single "Bar, Bar, Bar," officially released last week, and the accompanying music video.

At this point, any K-popper with an Internet connection knows that five-member girl group Crayon Pop has risen to the top of the charts and earned millions of fans with their hit single “Bar, Bar, Bar,” officially released last week, and the accompanying music video.

What very few people realize is how much of Crayon Pop’s fan base is comprised of men in their 30s.

“There’s even a new epithet called ‘Pop Guys,’” bandmember Way told Billboard Magazine in an interview published on Tuesday.

“It’s used for older men that like us. We have a lot of fans that are in their 30s. We heard we are like a rejuvenator for working men that are restless from the corporate life because of our bright energy.”

But whatever age or gender their fans are, Crayon Pop’s lead dancer Ellin says the response to “Bar Bar Bar” took the whole group by surprise.

“In the beginning, we weren’t sure [about our popularity] because we would go straight to practice after our daily schedule,” Ellin said.

“We found out about our growing popularity when people started telling us ‘you guys are really popular!’ That’s when it started really hitting us. We can also tell by the amount of video covers coming up on the Internet lately.”

And while the “Bar Bar Bar” video has earned them fans from around the world, the members of Crayon Pop say they currently have no plans to tour outside of South Korea.

Instead they are setting out to silence critics calling them a one-hit wonder with their next video, for which they are in the process of envisioning.

“Our next track has been selected, but not the concept,” the band said in a group statement.

“I think a lot of people like us not only for our uniqueness but also for the fact that they receive fun energy from watching us. So I think [our next concept] is going to be fun which will go well with the funky track.”

And what about the origin of the now famous helmets in the “Bar Bar Bar” video?

“The helmet was thought up by a member [of Crayon Pop] as a way to emphasize their heads while they′re jumping,” read a statement for the band’s record label Chrome Entertainment to eNEWS on Wednesday.

Earlier this month, Psy-meets-Lonely-Island rapper Defconn released an explicit music video for “Cocktail,” featuring Rania T-ae. Mostly known for comedic acts on television and as a host on “Weekly Idol,” the rapper returns with R&B diva Boni, adding to an already illustrious list of past female collaborators.

Stoic shots of tears falling from a girl’s face and a tattered rose dropping to the ground are juxtaposed with a man uncontrollable with anger. While his earlier act had not-so-subtle sexual innuendos abound, “Notorious Girl” seems to promise a more dramatic side of Defconn.

YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun Suk Explains Why He Ditched His Original Idea Of Forming A Girl Group On ‘WIN: Who Is Next’

Team A of "WIN: Who Is Next."

When the premiere episode of “WIN: Who Is Next,” YG Entertainment founder and CEO Yang Hyun Suk’s new reality show about forming a boy band, premieres on the South Korean music network Mnet on Friday, viewers may not know it almost had one very big difference.

That boy band fans will be voting on was almost a girl group.

At a media event at the Conrad Hotel Grand Ballroom in Seoul on Tuesday for “WIN: Who Is Next,” Yang explained that despite his experience in making boy band Big Bang superstars, he initially wanted to do something different for the show.

“To be honest, I wanted to make a group like SNSD, because that’s not my area of expertise,” said the YG CEO.

“I’ve always wondered what a pretty girl group doing hip hop would look like.”

According to Yang, although he was grooming a set of girl group contestants for “WIN,” they couldn’t perform at the level the K-pop record label mogul was asking for.

“Ultimately, they were short of the talent I was looking for,” Yang said. “I wasn’t 100 percent satisfied and couldn’t debut them.”

Yet Yang says he is still working to release a new all-female group on his label.

In “WIN: Who Is Next” two different teams of aspiring male K-pop artists will compete in “survival battles” according to eNEWS, for the chance to be in a YG Entertainment boy band.

“Team A” features five members including YG rookie solo artist Kang Seung Yoon, and Lee Seung Hoon of the reality show “K-Pop Star.”

With one more member but distinctly less star power, Team B’s six members include the 17-year-old rapper B.I., best known for his guest appearance on MC Mong track “Indian Boy” in 2009.

Yang said he will look to the show’s winners to bring YG Entertainment into the next decade.

“YG has changed a lot since Big Bang’s debut eight years ago,” he said. “The new group will carry the responsibility of YG for the next eight years.”

And, Yang pointed out, ultimately who his new band is will be up to the fans.

“While leading YG the last 15 years, I made a lot of the decisions, but this time, I decided to put the decision in the viewers’ hands,” he said.
