Kpop Highlights #7 (IU, Yoon Hyun Sang, GOT7, BlockB, G-Dragon)

IU - My Old Story

This series of Highlights begin with a very evocative and emotional song by the amazing IU. The song itself is actually very short but nonetheless sensational for numerous reasons. Choi Woo Shik is such a talented actor despite being so young - I love all of his kdramas. He can act like an egoistic and cunning prosecutor one second or a wimpy high-school boy subject to bullying from his step-sister the next second. Having him in this mv was perfect! The song has a chilling sensation to it - something like a horror story based on a 'gone-wrong' love story where the heroine dies a tragic death. Overall I can say that it is one of my favourite songs.

Yoon Hyun Sang x IU - When Would it Be

Well, this is a lovely duet and heart-warming. I get similar emotions when listening to this with IU's My Old Story - it's absolutely sensational. I said this was a duet but the spotlight is mainly on Yoon Hyun Sang as IU only comes into the song after quite a long time though she features in the mv from start to finish.

GOT7 - A

Now, moving onto a lighter topic...This is my very first song of GOT7 and well, my first impressions of the visuals weren't that great. I felt like I was watching something out of Disney Channel - in other words, a bit childish. Look, it's just my opinion and I know that some of you Got7 fans think they are one of the best-looking boy groups in the world. I'm sure they are - but perhaps not right now. Nevertheless, the song has a very addictive chorus and I just love it! Love it! It's brilliant - it's been in my head for around 4 days straight.

(I wasn't being sarcastic about me loving the song by the way).

Block B - Jackpot

Warning: we are slowly approaching the creepy side of Kpop...

LOL. Block B is one of my favourite groups of all time, because they are so original and crazy and their music videos are hilarious and fun to watch. I love the fact that they are nothing like the usual boy group where all they ever talk about is love, break-up or girls and all that lovey dovey stuff. But these guys are no where near the definition of gentlemanly or genteel. In this music video, they kidnap a young girl and do all sorts of horrible things to her. It's completely barbaric and atrocious...and I love it! But seriously you have no idea how sorry I was feeling for the girl until at the very end when she left with her middle finger up to them. GOSH!

G-Dragon - Crayon 

This music video is literally so fun to watch! Okay, let's start in chronological order. Firstly, his night-robe says 'wonder woman' - what on earth?! Then he goes for a shave, but what exactly is he shaving? He literally has no facial hair - perhaps it was his imaginary beard. Then there's Pinocchio
and then him communicating with morse code, and then (the best part) he intently watches this girl on TV only to find that it's him dressed as a girl. There's also Issac Newton with his apples and the whole thing is just completely bizarre. Oh and not to mention, he dances around wearing a giant duck with ballerinas in the background, and I'm not even going to try and find out why the song is called 'crayon'.

I think everyone would agree that this guy is a nutcase - LOL!
