~Pop Song of the Day #66~
Meet 2NE1, a four-member Korean girl group that has achieved fame in their home country and beyond. I don't know much about K-POP, but this group is definitely very popular right now. For some reason, the clothes in their recent videos remind me of Lady Gaga in the way that their style of fashion is so different. They use auto-tune a lot, but the beats in their songs are very catchy. My favorite K-POP song, I Don't Care, is by them, too. Clap Your Hands is their highly-anticipated brand new single- video released yesterday! It took me 2 listens before I started loving it.

Brown Eyed Girls - How Come
~Pop Song of the Day #64~
Meet Brown Eyed Girls, another Korean girl group. Since I don't keep up with K-POP for the most part, I have no idea how popular they are in their home country. However, this song is super-catchy, and I've posted a version with English sub-titles. The best part is the rap near the end, which is honestly so hilarious that it's actually good. Although this song is not new (I think their current single is Abracadabra), I still love listening to it. I wish someone would do an English cover of this song...

After School - Bang!
~Pop Song of the Day #50~
Meet After School... yet another Korean girlband. I've listened to a few of their singles, but this is the song that I am currently obsessed with. When I watched the music video, I was confused at first since I don't keep up with K-POP news. Apparently, they now have 8 members?! LOL, almost as much as Girls' Generation. Anyway, Bang! is their latest single, and it seems to have the theme of a "marching band"? On the first listen, I didn't think much of it. But after the second listen, I got hooked onto the melody (where they're shouting & stuff). It is super catchy... definitely listen to it!! =D

Girls' Generation - Run Devil Run
~Pop Song of the Day #46~
So I know I've posted a lot of Girls' Generation already.. and I know there are a ton of Korean girlbands out there. (I promise to post more of these in the coming weeks. It seems that every time I look on Youtube, another Korean girlband has released a new single lol.) So Girls' Generation is probably most famous for being a girl group with 9 members. Many of their singles are also super-popular internationally. Their latest single, Run Devil Run, seems to be a Ke$ha cover. I have listened to a demo of this song by Ke$ha (check Youtube, I'm not sure), but this version is in Korean and I <3 it. It seems that their stream of super-catchy singles will never end =D

Girls' Generation - Oh!
~Pop Song of the Day #37~
So I know that I just featured Girls' Generation on the blog a few days ago, but I recently found out that they had a new single out called "Oh!". So I listened to it, and watched the video, and now I am addicted to this song! It wasn't so good after the first listen, but then I listened to it again, and the chorus started running through my head. I've been listening to this song non-stop all week. The video, like all of their videos, is super-cute, and the song is catchy like always. I think that this is my favorite video by them so far. The end is epic =D

Girl's Generation - Gee
~Pop Song of the Day #33~
So I admit that I don't know that much about Girl's Generation. I don't know much about Korean girlbands in general, since I don't live in Korea. However, they have begun to increase in popularity in the US recently- particularly because of website like Youtube where anyone can view music videos. Many of my friends in the US are fans of Girl's Generation (also called SNSD) even though they aren't Korean. From this song, Gee (their comeback single / one of their hits), it is easy to tell why they have such cross-over appeal. I would love if they were able to release songs overseas & get a fanbase here like other Asian artists BoA and Wonder Girls. One thing that many first-time listeners wonder about is how 9 girls in one girl group are able to get along. Well, the answer is that they share singing roles (unlike PCD), live together, and have become friends with each other. Enjoy the song =D

2NE1 - I Don't Care
~Pop Song of the Day #25~
So I don't know a lot about K-pop girlbands, except for the fact that their songs are awesome & there's an awful lot of them debuting within the past year. Perhaps Korean music executives want to cash in on the phase of successful girlbands like the Wonder Girls (who toured and released a single in the US last year- please support!) and Girl's Generation. Anyway, basically the only thing you have to do to find a girlband is find four girls who can sing/dance and look good & voila. And listening to K-pop girlbands makes everything better =D Like I said, I don't know any particulars about 2NE1, but definitely listen to this song!!

HAM - T.T Dance
~Pop Song of the Day #5~
Meet HAM, one of the new Korean girlbands that just debuted this year. In case you haven't been keeping up with the K-pop music world lately, new girl group after girl group has debuted this year. Perhaps music executives want to catch onto the trend of successful girl groups such as Wonder Girls and Girl's Generation. This has resulted in a multitude of new K-pop girlband songs of varying qualities. T.T Dance is definitely one of the best K-pop songs out there, since it mixes rock/pop/rap into an awesome song with a super-catchy chorus.
