Ask Me Kpop Questions

I have a new segment I want to try out. I was wondering if you guys would like me to start a segment where you ask me kpop/kdrama related questions and I'll answer to the best of my ability.

Now I'm not the most knowledgeable person out there when it comes to kpop. However I do know quite a bit, I'm also becoming very well versed in the history of kpop and I'm learning of new groups every day. For instances, maybe you are looking for a good Korean ballad singer, or maybe you want to know what Trot is, those are questions I can help you with.

Since I try to keep my Features mainly the facts about the group/artist and maybe a little bit of personal reasons why I like them. I avoid going into detail about my personal reasons for liking a group/artist or perhaps who my favorite member of a group is. So you could ask me who my favorite old school kpop duo is, or who my favorite member of a certain group is.

Or with my kdrama reviews, you could ask me to go into more detail, or explain in simply terms, why I liked or didn't like a certain drama. Perhaps you are looking for a movie/tv that stars your favorite Korean actor, I can help you find a movie or tv featuring that person.

*I changed my comment status so that anyone with a google account can comment on my blog. You can also ask me question via twitter if you like. https://twitter.com/VastWorldOfKpop

The only thing I ask, is if you write a question please ask it in a respectful manner. I try to make this blog a positive place to promote underrated artist, as well as promote kdrama's. And while I do give my personal opinion I make it clear that, my readers should read the facts i've included about a kdrama in my review and decided for them self if it's a show they would like to watch.

So leave me a comment and once I get enough questions from I'll answer them in a blog post.

Feature [4] Sunny Hill

Hello Everyone,

Toady I will be featuring a group that isn't exactly unknown, and have been gaining quite a bit of attention lately. However I feel they deserve a lot more praise for having such a unique group and for simply making good music.

The group I speak of is Sunny Hill.

Sunny Hill now consists of five members however they originally debut as a trio.

Janghyun (Leader, Producer, Vocalist)  

Jubi (Main Vocalist)

Seunga (Vocalist)

Kota (Vocalist, Rapper) [Joined the group in 2010]

Misung (Vocalist, Rapper) [Joined the group in 2011]

In the past their have been many k-pop groups that had one female member and then like three or four male members, however I can't recall any that have one male and four female members like Sunny Hill has. I believe this formula is one that works very well for them.

Their Youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/LOENARTIST


Their videos are always interesting to watch here are a few of my favorites.

The Grasshopper Song

Midnight Circus

Pray (Be warned that some people might find this video disturbing, but the song is beautiful)

Feature [2] Ji Yoon Park

Hello everyone,

Today I will be featuring a very famous artist in kpop, who I feel the new generation of kpop fans have yet to be introduced to. The person I speak of is Park Ji Yoon.

Debuting at the young age of 11 as a model and then moving into the music arena. She is a triple threat in that she has been a model, a singer, and an actress. Now reaching 30 her beauty is still breathtaking, and her voice has only matured and grown stronger over the years. Ji Yoon isn't just a pretty face she has a B.F.A. from Namseoul University in Environmental Art & Design. In an industry that is known for it's quickly fading stars she has managed to shine brightly and stay in the hearts of her fans. She is actually releasing a new album very soon so keep on the look out for it and swing by and check her official pages.

Feature [1] NIA

Hello everyone,

Today I will be introducing you to a greatly under appreciated group, the group I speak of is the K-Rock band NIA.

NIA is a four piece all girl rock band consisting of

 Choi Youngsin-Bass, Sseo Ji-Leader/Drummer, Soyeon Jeon-Vocal, Park Miyeon-Guitarist

Here's a nice little introduction video they made, they speak in Korean and English.

They debut in 2009 as an indie group and have been working hard ever since. Their style of music is like nothing I've ever heard before. Vocalist So Yeon has the voice of an angel, mix that with her band mates rocking sound and it is pure bliss. To date they have released four digital singles, three in the year 2009 and one in 2010. I'm a little worried that they haven't released anything recently however they have an official youtube which you can find http://www.youtube.com/user/4girlbandNIA/ videos they also have an official facebook url=http://www.facebook.com/niaband?v=info so check those out and if you like the group let them know you can't wait to hear more from them.

Now they have released only two music videos thus far.

The videos are:

Goodbye

Remember the Forest

I would also suggest listening to their song Every Night

So guys, show these girls some love and check out their videos and facebook.
