Kpop Highlights #6 (2PM, 4Minute, Super Junior, Amber, High4)

2PM – Go Crazy


A fast-paced and electronic feel with such an overly-addictive chorus that just completely lifts up your spirit, is what you should expect in this amazing song by 2pm. It instantly became one of my favourite songs of all time. It’s hilarious at times and very fun to watch and listen, especially at the end when one of the guys (note to self: learn their names!) realizes everyone else has fallen asleep or ‘dropped dead’ due to having used up all their energy, casually shrugs his shoulder and decide to lie next to them in a very funny child-like way.





I understand why they’re all so happy because usually kpop dances require weeks of vigorous training due to all those complicated moves and synchronizations, but in this case, it’s mainly just compromising.   


4Minute – Crazy


Just when I felt like I really needed to see a comeback of 4Minute – they came back, more confident than ever. Well, what do I think? Ummm, yes it’s crazy alright. I like the song and the whole music video plus their outfits. I felt that it was very powerful and had that ‘ooompf’ to it. But I thought the choreography was at parts a bit over the top and…inappropriate. Okay, I know it’s 4Minute we’re talking about but if you know about my sensitive and good-natured self, you’d understand what I mean. Nevertheless, they still stand as one of my favourite kpop groups!




Super Junior – This is Love


I love this! It’s very classy and everything in the music video flows so smoothly, which is actually a very difficult thing to do when you are working with 12 guys, and you have to try and make sure each of them gets a share of the vocals.



Amber – Shake that Brass


Before anyone says anything, let me make one thing clear – Amber is a girl. It is highly unlikely that you will ever come across someone like Amber in the Kpop Industry. You see, the norm here in the world of kpop is that girls are girly, sexy or cute – definitely not boyish, dressed in baggy shorts and t-shirts. I feel like Amber is such a phenomenal and unique addition to kpop and a break in the barrier of the two genders. I realise that she never really got the attention she deserved before in f(x) but I’m glad that SM Entertainment is finally allowing Amber to shine. As for the song, it’s very fun and lively and definitely Amber-ly.



Lim Kim x High4 – A Little Close


This is such a perfect song. I absolutely adore the vocals in here and my sister loves playing this song in the background when she’s doing her homework (although she just gets distracted and not get her work done and eventually gets on my nerve – but that’s not the point); I understand totally why. It’s because it’s got a really calm and a moderately slow beat to it and it’s just really so satisfying! It’s just sad that High4 isn’t promoted as much as they should be – they’re really talented and more people need to notice that.

  1. I really don't understand why on earth High4 and Lim Kim's highlight has large bold writing. There appears to be a technical issue. I'm trying to fix it but it's taking longer than expected...
