YG Family Love

As you all can tell, I'm currently really into K-pop, most notably Big Bang. Big Bang is actually from YG Entertainment, a music label known for their hip-hop artistes who actually write or compose their own stuff. In the same label, they have 2NE1, also known as the female Big Bang. Linda's a huge fan and so am I. What's not to like, they have catchy songs, awesome stage presence, they're cute, I like their personalities plus, they embody female power and independence. Plus, just like Big Bang..they have really good fashion style. 

Recently, both Big Bang and 2NE1 have been endorsing mobile phones, one for each brand. For each advert, they have a special song, as is the style in Korea. Most of these songs are actually pretty good and catchy. The great thing is that they also put in a lot of effort into making the MVs. I actually liked 2PM's Tik Tok for their phone advert, but somehow YG Family's MVs seem so much better? Especially 2NE1's here. There's not much story in both, but just the quality of the production, detail, fashion..whoaa...

Big Bang - Lollipop 2

2NE1 - Try to Follow Me

At the same time, here's some of my other current faves with links to the MVs, do check them out :)

1. G-Dragon feat. Flo Rida - Heartbreaker (GD's original Heartbreaker  was accused of plagiarising Flo Rida's Right Round..but that was sampling an old song too..so he shut up the critics when he released this remix)
2. Brian Joo - In my head (Korean version of Jason Derulo's, he even performed the english version with Jason in Korea)
3. Girl's Generation - Run Devil Run (9 hot girls..lol)
4. Kara - Lupin
5. T-Ara - I Go Crazy Because of You (extremely catchy and addictive! u just feel like grooving to it..lol)
6. F.Cuz - No One (another clubbish track)
7. CN Blue - I'm a Loner (reminds me of the Beatles in a way)
8. Oneway - Magic (love their velvety, smooth voices)
9. Ernest - Because I'm Weary (from the KBS Drama Master of Study OST, makes u feel emo n sad when u listen, but it's nice!)
10. Rain - Love Song (This is a must listen, c'mon it's RAIN!!!..also another sad song..)
