This was f(x)’ first comeback stage with Hot Summer. They pretty much nailed it, if you ask me.

I watched this on a live stream as it was airing. I had miscalculated the time difference, but luckily I switched the stream on just when f(x) were performing.

As I mentioned a (long) while back, Love Again (다시 사랑) is one of my favourite Miss A songs so far. It was used for a Samsung Anycall campaign in China and Korea. This is the Korean version. Only Fei, Jia and Suzy are in the video. Min wasn’t included for some reason.

I love the beginning of the video where Suzy headbutts the guy for being late .

Happy Midsummer!

Have I mentioned lately how much f(x) rule? Well they do. A lot .

I already posted a youtube clip of Hot Summer from the repackaged version of their album. I wasn’t expecting much to be honest, but I really like it. I often skip the repackaged albums, but I’m going to get this one.

All the girls get plenty of time on screen and they all look great (especially Sulli and Krystal). I wonder why Luna only has that red wig on for a few seconds in the video.

There is one bad thing about this song though. There was this huge heat wave here, but as soon as Hot Summer was released the temperature dropped and it started raining. If the song is somehow cursed, I fear that I’m going to ruin a lot of people’s summer around here by playing the song over and over .

This cute, with extra sugar on top, song by Secret was another request by SimpleMe.

Sorry for the recent lack of posts. I just started my vacation and needed to unwind (and party), so I’ve spent most of my time away from the computer.

SimpleMe also requested Twinkle Twinkle by Girl’s Day.

Somehow this song makes me think of the PSP game DJ Max Portable .

As you probably know all too well by now, I went to SMTOWN Paris last weekend. It was the first SMTOWN in Europe ever. It was also my first K-Pop concert and my first visit to Paris.

This will be a lot more text than I usually post, but don’t worry, there are pictures further down. I thought about boiling it down to something shorter, but then it would take too long before I could post it.

[…] there’s more! »

You’ll want to check out this teaser of the new title track on f(x) repackaged album Hot Summer, which is coming out later this week (digital version already out).

update: full MV out now: smtown

This song was requested by Stella. It’s a track called “0330″ by the Korean boy-band U-Kiss.

I immediately recognized it when I heard it. I think I saw them perform this on Music Bank.

Nagging (잔소리) is a duet that IU and Seul-ong from 2AM, recorded for the TV show We Got Married. This song landed IU her first wins on Inkigayo and Music Bank.

The music video is really short.

Time for another request. SimpleMe wanted Ma Boy by Sistar19, which is a sub-unit of the group Sistar.

This isn’t really my cup of tea. I haven’t listened to Sistar’s other stuff though.
