WATCHING OUT

There is always new talent making its way into the KPop industry. Each with its own concept, theme, or look. This time around we have a girl group coming out with a concept a lot like CNBlue an FTIsland. Though there are several male bands with this concept this marks the first time such a concept has been applied to females. The group is named Wine Hall Venus and though I don’t know much about the group I look forward to hearing what they have. It would certainly be nice to have a girl group fall into that indie pop-rock genre I love so much.

Another group to watch out for is 8eight. They aren’t new in the industry but the keep building momentum with each new release. They latest single ‘Cover Those Lips’ has me spinning. I mean the vocals alone are extremely impressive! But couple them with the video and you get a life altering experience. Well maybe not to that extreme but it will certainly change your perspective on what good music should sound like. Each member of this trio has major individual talent- as evidenced by Baek Chan and Lee Hyun’s solo success and collaborative works. But most of all they work so

well together. Listening t the song isn’t enough though. One must watch the entire music video too. And then watch it some more. It’s seriously one of the best video’s I’ve seen in a while

and I have to say who ever directed is a genius. Visually captivating as a stand alone the voices of 8eight make this video spectacular beyond words.

I know the trio have been around for a while but it wasn’t until now that I noticed their talents. And I can honestly say I look forward to whatever they put out next.

While we are on the topic of amazing music videos I saw one today that had me all agog. I’m sure most everyone has heard of HOT former member Jang Woo Hyuk’s comeback. I for one was completely oblivious to this news. Now I cant say I ever listened to HOT’s music, but when a veteran pop idol comes back into the scene I should have heard about it. Alas, it seems I’ve been in my own world and missed all the ruckus the “King of Dance” has caused with his comeback track “Time is [L]Over.”

Thankfully, I came back to earth in time to watch one insanely masterful dance performance by Jang Woo Hyuk on Music Bank. Not only is the track awesome but his dancing is just… I don’t even know how to describe it. I mean Yunho U-Know’s dancing is sick, Bi Rains crazy, but Woo Hyuk takes the pop and lock to a new level. And if I thought the Music Bank performance was awesome, the MV proved to be even better- a true visual and auditory experience…. with a light show and everything!

These artists have really caught my attention and I’ll be sure to be buying their albums soon. Not to mention awaiting whatever they put out next. For that matter, I’ll be looking out for it! I cant wait to see what else he comes out with and of course I’ll be getting the album!
