Feature [12] Phantom

Hello everyone, since this semester isn't killing me just yet, I have some time to write another feature for you guys and I've gotta say I really love the group I'm about to talk about. I'm proud to introduce you to  PHANTOM.

MEMBERS:


Sanchez (Main Vocals)


Kiggen (Leader, Producer, Rapper)


Hanhae (Rapper, Maknae)



BIO: Sanchez and Kiggen both used to work for Happy Face Ent., Kiggen was a part of the group HybReFine and Sanchez was a featured artist on some of his songs. Hanhae was a trainee under Stardom Ent. and was going to debut as the main vocalist for Block B however he ended up not making it into the group. With all three now under Brand New Music in 2011 the trio appeared in Verbal Jint's "You Look Good" video as characters in the MV. Their first work they released was the song "19 Song (Love Songs That Teens Cannot Listen To)" it was a medley of song arrangements which featured song that had been banned by the South Korean MOGEF. They then posted a video on their Youtube page of then singing SNSD's "The Boys" in which Sanchez was dressed as Freddie Mercury from Queen. Finally they released their first single album "Hole In Your Face." Their official debut however did not happened until 2012 with Phantom City.

Feature [11] U-KISS

Hello everyone, I'm back again with another feature. Now the group i'm about to talk about is not exactly unknown, in fact they have a very large fan base. However they have never once won first place on MCountdown and frankly I think it's time they should. That's right I'm talking about U-KISS.

Soohyun (Leader, Main Vocals)

Kiseop (Vocals)

Kevin (Vocals)
Dongho (Rapper, Maknae)

Former Members:

Xander

Kibum

BIO: U-KISS is a South Korean boy group who formed in 2008, their name stands for Ubiquitous Korean International idol Super Star. They originally debut as a six member group, however they are now a seven member group with the addition of Kiseop in 2009. U-Kiss had the intentions to debut in the Untied States, however this never took place as both Alexander and Kibum left the group. Their empty spots were filled by AJ and Hoon. They are very well known and well recieved  in Japan as well as other countries in Asia. However in Korea they have yet to capture the top spot on any of the music programs such as MCountdown.

Truly these boys have worked hard and deserve all the praise they get and really deserve awards as well so please support these boys. They are a group who has evolved from boys to men style wise, and I can't wait to see what they have in-store for us in the future.

NOTE: To My Readers

Hello everyone,

I wanted to write a quick post and ask you guys a few question that will hopefully help me improve my blog and my posts.

1. Is my blog easy to navigate, can you find what you are looking for when you arrive at my page?

2. Since is seems I have a lot of people who view this blog from non-English speaking countries, have you found the google translate button helpful? Does it translate my post into understandable text in your language or is it just confusing nonsense?

3. Do you like the way I review K-Dramas? Is there any thing else you would like to know about a kdrama when I review it (such as additional information)?

4. From reading my kpop group features, have I helped introduce you to a new group or singer that you had never heard of or never really listened to before?

For the most part I like the format I use when reviewing groups and dramas, however if there is information missing that you guys would like me to cover when I write a review just let me know.
