Kpop Highlights #4 (Taeyang, G-Dragon, BAP)

OMG! This is my very first Kpop Highlights of 2015, come to think of it. Nonetheless, it's the same old procedure- I inform you of all the kpop that are currently catching my attention right at this moment and the songs may not be completely recent but a little old, though I avoid talking about kpop from more than 2 years ago. Well, in this highlight, you can definitely tell that I'm a bit obsessed with Taeyang and G-Dragon from Big Bang, and not to mention taekwondo, because I'm starting to develop an interest in more upbeat and fast, catchy songs, and ultimately hip hop.

Taeyang - Ringa Linga

My first impression of the name of the song, 'Ringa Linga', was something like, 'What on earth is this?' and has on a number of occasions put me off from listening to the song. This is probably why I am doing this review late. Seriously, the song title should never have been that severely prejudiced because to be honest, it is such an incredibly powerful song. It has become one of my all-time favourites actually. But, just to let you know, Taeyang isn't exactly my perfect idea of a good-natured and totally-moral musician, if you get what I mean. Actually, the same goes for G-Dragon, too. 

You should totally check this taekwondo cover for the song by the famous K-Tigers. Trust me, it is absolutely breath-taking!!

Taeyang and G-Dragon - Good Boy

Ok, this is actually a good song, which has a really cool and upbeat sound track that you should definitely not miss out on. I am hard to impress when it comes to things like this, so me admitting it's good, does actually mean that it's good. The only negative I have to say is that the music video, the bit with all those flashy neon lights in their hair and stuff, just seems a bit...unnecessary. In all due respect, to be honest, it just made the mv a bit off-putting. Sorry. But nonetheless, the dance (both the original and the taekwondo version by K-Tigers) is amazing and one of the most creative things I have seen in my life. lol!

B.A.P - 1004 (Angel)

This song became an instant favourite as soon as I listened to it. It's the usual BAP song with all the drama and the guns and shooting and the special effects and so on. But this time, it also includes a gigantic fossil of a T-REX or a skeleton of some kind and wings. I am not completely clear on the meaning of the song because I was too stupid to realise that I should probably have searched for the lyrics before actually writing this blog. Anyway, I think it is my favourite BAP song. Every aspect of this song flows so smoothly from one member to the next, from the chorus to the rap and yes, it is an amazing song!

Running Man Compilation #1

Hey guys!

I actually uploaded this on YouTube yesterday night. Sorry, you guys should have been my first priority.

Basically, this is a  compilation of the hilarious popular Reality TV show in South Korea, called Running Man. Currently, there are 7 permanent members and guests are invited in each episode to complete a series of missions, which involve vicious ripping of name-tags, searching a whole shopping mall for animal masks and running into a freezing-cold river barefoot to build a stone sculpture. There are so many more and the ideas are all ingenious. Just watch it!

I am now just watching random episodes because there are over 200 episodes and I can't be bothered to start from 1. My favourite member right now is Lee Kwang Soo. My sister gets so mad whenever I compare how them two are so similar. LOL

Here's my video:
