BAP's Comeback

On the other side, BAP's album is amazing. It contains a lot of ballads and they used Himchan and Jongup's voices a lot more. I love when Bang says 'sex' in SNS. I love Himchan's acting in the MV, he really surprised me. My bias is Himchan ever since they had their debut and I am so proud of him. Zelo is such a cutie pie and Daehyun's voice blew me away. Youngjae is such a handsome guy. Ahhh I love it, everything. They just never cease to surprise me with their different styles and different concepts. Their MV is one of the best, like always.

BTS' Comeback Soon

I CAN'T WAIT!!! I love BTS! I really admire Rap Mon and the rest. I think Jongkook and Zelo are the best and the most talented maknae in the industry right now.

As a fan of BTS I have to say that this teaser is epic and I love it and I am really excited.

BAP's Comeback-Soon

Oh my God, I can't even express my excitement...You have seen the teaser for BAP's new song, correct? Well, it seems some show leaked 32 seconds of the song. I thought it was just another teaser and got super dupper excited about it. Unfortunately, it was just a leak and now I kinda feel bad about watching it. Anyway, it's going to be epic. It seems Jongup and Himchan really worked on their voices. I am very curious how does the rap sound. Agh, so many feelings...
 

   

Music to the Ears (BAP's Hurricane)

Now, let's get back on the latest MV's. BAP came back with two songs, Coffee Shop, which is a ballad/jazzy song that may or may not become background music for actual coffee shops. It's calm and their voices sound sweet. There's no high vocal challenge in it which let other members like JongUp and Himchan feel more relaxed with their vocal abilities. It was concentrated on low ranges for baritones. It sounds good but not many people enjoy this kind of music and some just expected a fun song...which came last week.

BAP's Hurricane just set our roofs on fire, literally. Every member has his own spotlight moment. JongUp doesn't have many lines but they showed his dancing skills which balanced everything. Himchan has one line and that one became a classic. Our Loof is definitely on Fiyah now. It's so funny and Himchan-ish that you can't hide how happy it makes you. An, it's also amusing how his car doesn't have a roof...Also, I love how Himchan just drives around, being proud of his driving license and the others are like..kids walking around. YongGuk doesn't like it, I'm sure lol

So, the video is awesome, every member has his own moment, the vocal range is pretty high because Daehyun touches some high notes there and bravo for that. Zelo's hair makes him look like a sheep but let's get over it. That guy has swag in him. He was born for music and for the life of an idol. He's high quality and I love the kid. He developed so many skills and at such a young age! Let's take a moment and applaud his genius. YongGuk, too, has so many resources and so many talents to make something out of. They are awesome.

Music to the Ears (BAP's One Shot)

I don;t have enough words to describe how amazingly done is this MV made! IT's so awesome how they have an actual plot and how everything actually does make sense! IT has to be one of my favourites K-pop videos of all time! It's all so bad ass, they're aiming to get their friend back and in some way they do, but on the other side they don;t. I don't make much sense, huh?

Let's analyse the video. Firstly, each member has something he's really good at. For example, Himchan is really good at fixing cars, which seems legit since he's the only one in BAP with a  soon- to- be-legal driver license. Also, Yong Guk kind of makes the whole plan. At first, they appear on a boat where they look like real bosses. They party, they have alcohol, they have girls and they have grapes, in Zelo's case who's still under-age but who cares any more! In the end, age is just a number and jail is just a room. Then out of nowhere some random guy comes and hits Jong Up in the head. That's not all, some bad ass guys kidnap Young Jae and want money instead. It actually makes sense, right? Well, since they don't have any, the whole band goes and steals it and also, they get some guns. This part is a little bit funny because of Daehyun. He has such a kind face even though he has to be bad. It's impossible for him and Jong Up to look even close to being Mafia guys. They are so cute and squish able. Anyway, in the end they get the money and they're ready to make the change. Now, there are two plans. Plan A is getting killed. Now, I'm sure it's not just me who thinks it was overreacted a little. They're expressions are really funny and the whole scene is fun to watch. They tried but acting is not their forte point. Even so, Yong Guk did a good job. Anyway, they get all killed, everywhere are corpses and it ends. Plan B is getting caught by the police. Actually, when I saw how it ended at first I thought it was pretty awesome but when I saw how it all moves backwards and the whole scene is repeated and has a different ending, I was surprised. I bet no one saw that coming. Young Jae being a cop working undercover and catching them in action. That was definitely something different.

Overall, the MV is amazing. It worth the wait and it worth the money they invested in it. The song is exactly what BAP means. Bad ass boys dancing powerfully, having no mercy on our hearts and be the warriors they started as. Saw what I did there? These songs are the essence of BAP and One Shot is one amazing single.

Music to the Ears (BAP's Rain Sound)

There are so many BABYz there so I'm sure everyone will be happy to read this post. BAP's newest song had just blown me up! It's such a nice sad song. I had big expectations from them, truthfully. I like all of their earlier work and I can't say I've been disappointed by any of their songs. I'm pretty proud of these guys, you know. They worked continuously on their stages and comebacks and I hope they do rest too. No career is more important than health.

Rain Sound didn't seem too special from the teasers. Moreover, I was so concentrated on the MV that I couldn't really put my hand on the song. However, when you listen just the song, it's really nice. It gives off a different, more melancholic feeling to it and the whole song becomes deeper and meaningful. Hearing Jongup sing from the beginning, right after YongGuk, it felt a little bit weird but I'm thankful. However, when I heard Himchan's part, which consists of some talking in that deep sexy voice of his, and later on sing a little bit, it simply touched me. What melt my heart and simply gave me a huge blow was Zelo. His part is so heartbreaking but at the same time you can realize he'd matured and...aish...seriously, he was just the cherry on top of the whole song. I have no more words. The song is so beautiful

Now, the song is great but the MV, not really. I'm already warning you that I will say a lot of good things about Zelo. It's really obvious they can't act at all. There's a part where they get shot and I guess that's the scene where you realize what is their job. YongGuk and JongUp tried their best. It was alright for them but it was just that one part they exceeded on. I believe Zelo did the best out of them all. It broke my heart to see him 'crying'. Himchan's eyes expressed the feeling well but when they did a close up on them I didn't get the same feeling like I did from Zelo. That maknae kills me. And he's still under age...But he really looks good. The whole childish image he had disappeared and he looked like a grown up young man who suffers from the depth of his heart. I'm a person who doesn't get impressed easily but damn this little tall guy really got me this time.

I like how they got into the trend-> everything happens in one room where magically they appeared. However they do not know of each other except when they're dancing, which doesn't happen much. Also, there seems to be a lot of things breaking and there's a lot of angst. Yep. They got it right.

Anyway, leaving any jokes aside, the song is wonderful. It's actually really catchy once you give it a second listen and there's a story which is expressed good enough to be understood. Yeah. Definitely a good song.

Music to the Ears (BAP's Stop It)

Alright, while watching the posts people read more often I had a shock when I saw how many views there are on BAP. There are about 30 and something per day! Wow. A lot of Babies out there. Anyway, since I was too lazy to look out for news about Beast I got carried away with Block B's album which I plan to make a review later on and BAP's comeback song. I really want to believe it will be their last this year. They seem overly exhausted and it can be heard in YoungJae's voice the most.

Their new song is kind of ADORABLE. Really now, Yong Guk is really cute in a silly and manly way, if that makes any sense. Of course, I love that there is a plot, but seriously now...Yong Guk is a Gumiho or something devilish because I see there a red tail and the girl is actually an angel and she had seen him all the time but ignored him? Who the hell can ignore him?! Daehyun seems like a bad driver...but I like how he started to show more of his true self than that cool vocalist. I started to watch BAP Camp and Daehyun is definitely more talkative than Himchan the chatter box. YoungJae look really handsome too in the MV and the way they filmed so brightly just makes it more optimistic and shows a different side of the band. Himchan looks...I can;t seem to find the right word. He looks very handsome but at the same time goofy. How obsessed can you be to smile like that after magically your hand had just been prompted on the girl's face? So, no. Not the right expression there Himmie...Adding to that, I liked him better with black hair. Same goes for Jongup. The two maknae were terribly cute and aegyo. One thing I don't understand though. Why was Zelo looking into the mirror? Was he appreciating his handsome 17 years old self or was he trying to see Yong Guk through the light which could have reflected into it and then onto the leader's face, blinding him? Who knows, I guess it will remain a mystery. One thing I also don't understand is the end...maybe I'm a little slow and didn't catch to what it meant...so he was a demon and she was an angel? Doesn't that mean Daehyun killed Yong Guk? And why was he a playful demon? So many questions...

Even if it seems like I actually didn't like the MV, it's quite the opposite. I liked it a lot and truthfully, Yong Guk was the ebst out of the whole video. He kept me entertained. But, the other members were also good. One thing I can't understand, the last, I promise, is...why are they back to blonde? A friend told me a few hours ago: I like the blonde one. I kept a poker face at her statement. Well...I guess the concepts change fast...

Intensive Examination- BAP

Soorry I didn't post this when I should have but I have my own summer homework I didn't finish unfortunately and I'm a little stressed since I started my last year of high school. Yay! South Korea after it! Ohh, I can't wait. Anyway, back to business, this edition is all about B.A.P aka Best Absolute Perfect. It's...yeah. I guess it's better than MBLAQ...Anyway news about these awesome guys are enough. For example, their appearances on shows. Inkigayo, Music Core, MNet Countdown, they're everywhere and we love it. It seems the number of their fan clubs just rises and rises each passing day.

Let's see, from what I know they've been to Taiwan and it seems they had a great time (Himchan's tweet; sorry for stalking you weirdy). Secret's new album and song is awesome, by the way. Poison really gets that feminine and sexy vibe the girls have. And since we're tlking about BAP, I seriously can't not talk about their sunbaes. Now, I've read a lot about them since I have friends and two big eyes. Pictures and pictures and Happy Latey Birthday Zelo! You're still young though, still have a long way to go, ask Yong Guk. I've seen pictures from his surprise in Taiwan. It was really cute. They're cute overall. I like their style and how soft an childish they actually are. Also, I kind of feel old.

A lot of information I couldn't really get because, I recognize, I've been very busy but they are promoting themselves and well, Crash. Also, they help their sunbaes with things. I've seen the interview on the set of Poison. It was very interesting how at one point Himchan and Zelo seemed to gradually lose their focus and the rest were nodding but didn't seem to be there...They must have been also tired, who knows what they've done before. They're quite hyperactive. But Secret were talkative and funny and I really like them. I like both bands actually. But seriously, you should watch Ta Dah:It's BAP or BAP Diary; they are both really fun and even though they're a little bit old, I don't see a big change in their behaviour if none at all. At first I thought Himchan is the maknae or at least closer to that image but Zelo is such a cute one. Damn years for being too old.

Oh and by the way, am I crazy or sometimes Jong Up looks like a younger version of Daesung? Just the face...:-?

Himchan

Daehyun

Music to the Ears (BAP- Crash)

B.A.P's Crash is amazing! I can't stop listening to it at all. I tried, since it's really creepy how lately I've listened more to B.A.P than Big Bang (which is my favorite k-pop band) and I believe I'm on the way to become part time Baby. I feel like I'm cheating lol. Anyway, the song is amazingly cute and I love the MV. It's really refreshing to see them in their own element than as 'hot, powerful' idols. Of course, my bias (the weird Himchan) doesn't have much camera time but, surprisingly, he got more lines. And what can I say...the  one running after birds, Zelo. But he's an adorable maknae. He might be one of the few nice youngsters.

After watching a few times the MV, I think I've seen why they are such a big band. They seem to get well with each other, even though they have different personalities. They are all weird but at the same time, that's a common thing that just draws them closer. Usually, my eyes go to Himchan or Daehyun but in this MV, I can't even decide. I believe they made a very good choice with this video idea. They each show different sides of them and never stop amazing the audience by being either cute, dorky or hot.

The music, as in the melody, is really nice. I love how they can master any type of rhythm. Daehyun's voice is amazing, like always, but the husky voices of Himchan and Yong Guk makes everything more likeable and interesting. I watched the first live performance on MCountDown and I was impressed, though seriously, Yong Guk doesn't seem fit to be adorable. He tries and it fails terribly and I guess that's what makes it cute. Anyway, on Inkigayo, Yong Guk messed it up a little and I found his reaction incredibly adorable. I believe they also have a lot of promotions because YoungJae sounded tired and a little off. They must be really busy now...Anyway, show your support and buy their album or just...be a true Baby and show support in any way because I learned throughout years that being an artist is freaking hard and tiring and love from fans is what actually keeps them optimistic and strong.

'What I Like About...' B.A.P

First of all, to me, they seem like Big Bang juniors. They give me that feeling of a bright future. Their songs are aggressive and their voices are so husky and deep. They scream badass with their absolute fibre.

Let's analyse this new boy band. their first single was Warrior. It came like a boom. There were six blonde Korean boys with the acronym of B.A.P, who many thought means Blonde Asian Boys (which doesn't have any sense for me) but in reality, it stands for Best Absolute Perfect (which doesn't have any sense whatsoever). Anyway, the song had power, the rap was intense and fast (very admirable Zelo) and their attitude was awesome. Who would've thought they are new? No one. That attitude is what a powerful band needs and they have it all.

Of course, I've been watching these guys just so I wouldn't have the surprise to see a change in their style (like B1A4 who were much better as being adorable than sexy) Now I do believe that won't happen to them. I do hope they will never change their style, even more, become better at this. The second single, Power, is exactly its title, powerful. This bad ass boys are quite interesting. Of course, they are still young. The oldest one of them is Yong Guk and he's just 22 years old. The members are all very talented. I was a little surprised when I read that Him Chan is a multi-instrumentalist. Zelo is just 15 years old and alright, I admit, he's quite an adorable fellow. They also make me feel quite old at 18 but meh...

Overall, B.A.P are what I call a 'hell yeah' band. I consider myself one of their fans...I think they're called Babies? Anyway, they got quick into my list of favourite bands.
