Best of 2013 - K-pop

Well, this year of music has been pretty interesting. I already talked about the 48group releases, so let's now concentrate on the Korean music!
Okay, so I really want to follow Kpop, but it's just so hard as I don't have enough time. I couldn't talk about every song I wanted to talk about, and I'm happy I thought about the K-pop Wrap-ups, as they are a good way to still talk about these songs! I hope to continue with them next year, too until there's nothing left that impresses me (which hopefully won't happen!!). But let's now talk about the K-pop songs that were the best of 2013 (in my opinion).

Girls Day - Expectation/ Female President



Girl's Day really impressed me this year and I LOVE both of these songs. They are just so full of confidence and I actually think the sexy image fits them really good! These are also two awesome songs I love to dance too.. xD

BEG - Kill Bill



Yep, this comeback was definetely awesome. Perhaps not as awesome as some of their earlier works, but it's overall one of the best releases of this year!! The video is really exciting, and it's cool, that they used the Kill Bill story in it. xD Lots of fighting scenes, oh yeah!!

Lee Hyori - Bad Girl



Lee Hyori's comeback surprised everyone.. including me. This song + video is just so awesome and individual.. Especially the whole feminism thing. Thanks Hyori for this awesome comeback!

ChoColat - Black Tinkerbell



A unerrated song! I don't know Chocolate that well, but this song just has so much emotion and is so dark,  I love it soo much.. I will defintely watch out for them!

EXO - Growl



Unddoubtly this has been EXO's year!!
I like this a lot more than Wolf, especially for ist rather slow and rhythmic beat. It's not chaotic like many K-Pop songs nowerdays. No, it's smooth and shows the talent of the boys clearly!!

SHINee - Everybody



And there I thought SHINee won't release an awesome title song any more this year.. well, until Everybody of course (their Album tracks were awesome before!). Such an amazing song, I especially love Minhos parts.. **

VIXX - Hyde



VIXX totally rocked this year!! But I really like Hyde a lot more that Voodoo Doll, even though both Songs are freaking cool! Hyde is just so dark and creepy and gaaah, it's soo cool!!

2PM - A.D.T.O.Y



Oh right, I almost forgot that 2PM had a comeback. Well, I looped this song soo much, and I still really like its sexy tone.

T-ara - Number 9



T-ara really showed why they are so popular with this amazing dance track. I really love the song!

Kara - Damaged Lady



And this is the last featured song, but nevertheless it is a very cool and confident song.

I honestly really like these songs, but somehow I really lost a bit of interest in Kpop. There are so many groups and they get more every year. Also in my opinion K-pop got a lot more Americanized last year. You know, I love a few English phrases, but after Psy's succes it seems to me as if everyone only releases their music for the international fans and to me it seems as if K-pop isn't even that succesful in Korea itself.
Well, as you can see there are still a few songs I really like but I'm not concentrating that much on the groups anymore..
Sadly Big Bang didn't have a comeback this year.. Oh right, that's another thing that annoys me: the newer groups all have thousands of comebacks, while the older and bigger groups just have one or no comeback the whole year.. So as a Big Bang and Super Junior fan, the year sucked for me. Okay, all the members of Big Bang had individual comebacks which was great and Super Junior had their two japanese releases. But honestly, I am so bored by ''Blue World'' and the only reason why I want to review it is Heechul.. But enough of that now. I listen to music, because it makes me happy, and these groups still make me happy even if I only listen to their older songs. I'm all happy with the songs I like, so I look forward to the next year!! :D

Lee Hyori tells us that she's a BAD girl

Lee Hyori, the queen of K-Pop is back!!!
She released her fifth album ''Monochrome'' after almost 3 years since her last album.


First, she released the song ''Miss Korea''. And WOW!! This song is SOOO awesome. The black and white video helps to create a very 'old' feeling from it and that's pretty nice.
But her title track from the album is ''Bad Girls'' and this song is even better. Okay, both songs are breat comebacks but this one simply nails everything else. And not only is the song pretty awesome and Lee Hyori-like, the video is even better.
Oh yes, ladies and gentlemen may I present you one of the best K-Pop videos of the year so far??


In the first scene we see an ambulance with a pregnant women (played by Lee Hyori.. she has many roles in this video ;) ).


The women gives birth to her child and while she has so much pain, she grabs the wig of her husband (LOL).


But he's still happy about his baby..


.. until his wife dies.


Now he's all sad.. Well, it looks actually funny, I don't know why.. probably the editing and the NOT SO SAD music ;)


Oh, it's a girl.. Yeah, the baby looks soo realistic. Well, they couldn't probably have that much make-up on a real one ;)


Nice editing.. But now it looks even funnier.


So now the girl is 4 years old (I'll just call her Hyori because I think she will grow up to be her xP)
Her daddy apperently has a new wife..


... who's played by Lee Hyori.. Surprise, surprise :)
The guy likes women of her type.


Baby-Hyori isn't impressed.. Oh man, she looks soo funny xD


Ah, so the little girl has a lipstick? She seems pretty old for a 4 year-old..
Oh and I love the comic background in this video xP


Stepmother: Don't do that!! Bad Girl!!
Baby.Hyori: Huh?


Hyori: Grrrrr.. Don't ruin my life!!


Such a meany.. she just takes her father's chair away..


Of course, he fells down and she even beats him?


Hyori: Tihihi..


She gets a bear for her birthday, but she doesn't look impressed at all..


Yeah, why not??
Her parents muyt really think she's creepy..


Ah.. She IS creepy..


Parents: Uaaaah!!
She looks like a horror doll or something (Chukky!!)


Here's the real Lee Hyori singing about herself as a bad girl..


But the story continues..
Hyori is now 10 years old and apperently likes ice-cream..


But some evil kids smash it to the ground..


Such bad kids.. Laughing at her..


Yeah, go Hyori!!!


Bad? Well weren't the other kids also bad?


Hyori: But I'm the baddest!!


Now she's 14 years old and has a weird teacher..


What?? She wants to be teached? Didn't expect that..



She attacks her teacher.
Teacher: Whoooo?


Ewww.. another creepy teacher.. But this one is pretts perverted.. PEDO!


But Hyori is already there, planning what to do..


Ah, so now he flirts with the other teacher?


But Hyori stops them..


.. because she pushes his trousers down.. lol^^


Yeees, we know..


Another perv...


Hyori: Well, you get this for treating me so bad! *throws bomb*


Hyori: Hee Hee..


Oh, now Hyori plays herself?
Gansterrr..


Yep, she's now 18. And another teacher calls her a bad girl..


But she likes the othe rgirl, even if it also wears short skirts?


Ah, but only because her mother gave her money..


Hyori: That's soo unfair..


Fuck school!!!


Now she's 24 ( no big difference though).


Hell, is everyone a pervert here??



Uhm yep!


Hyori: Seriously, stop staring..


.. taking Sharon Stones scene to another level..


Another pervert??


Hey, he's also bad!!


Another bad guy who slaps his girlfriend..


But Hyori knocks him down..



Year XX? What's that??


The messages aren't even bad or anything.. They are pretty good! (but what's with the 'No Monsters'?)



A police women.. Not played by Hyori?? WOW! xD


She starts chasing her..


Hyori: *like a boss* I'm da best!



Wow, it's like a movie.. Will she get her??


Hyori: Better not!


Bang!! Accident!


Police women: Gottcha!!


Final message: She's still a bad girl!

Wow.. This video is so colourful, funny and cool. And most importantly it shows that we women ahve to be strong!! The men in this video are portraied pretty bad (pervs all the way) so it's good to fight back like Lee Hyori did!!! Don't just think you're weaker! You can also be strong and 'bad'.
The lyrics of the song say the same thing:

''A girl who doesn’t pretend not to know when she does know.''

''Being nice leaves nothing for her.''

''Yeah, those bad girls next to them are more attractive.''

Yep, the song is defenitely awesome!! 
The whole album is pretty good! Such a good comeback for the queen. Be sure to check it out, it's amazing!

And May is until now the best comeback month of the year.. xP I still didn't review everything, but it was amazing.. Now I hope there will be even more amazing songs.. (2NE1 comeback, B2st comeback etc..)
