SNSD (Girls' Generation) becomes global group, Intel's new model


Girls' Generation is a very famous girl group in Korea made up of nine beautiful, young girls. They proved to be all superior in singing, dancing, and even acting. They debuted in 2007, continuously produced albums, and reached the top of the K-Pop in 2009, when they hit a blast with the song, "Gee." From then on, every songs they presented until now recorded #1 in top charts at some point. As they were acknowledged to be the #1 girl-group in Korea, they spread their fame to Japan, and also stroke the J-Pop world, eventually recording #1 in the Oricon Chart of Japan. However, there are Girls' Genertaion's fans are not only in Korea and Japan, they are all over Asia, including, Thailand, China, Hong Kong, and so on. 


A world-wide group, Intel, chose their new Asia model as SNSD (a.k.a Girl's Generation). Koreans were surprised by the fact that such a famous company like Intel would choose a girl group from a small land like Korea, but at the same time, Intel proved that K-Pop is actually impacting Asia tremendously.



Girls' Generation presented their new song called "Visual Dreams"for advertising the company, Intel and suggested they would continuously promote "Intel" actively. I see that both Girls' Generation and Intel have a bright future ahead.

Wonder Girls, SunYe YaeEun secretly makes donation

WonderGirls, is a mega-hit-girl-group that presented albums in the year between 2007 and 2008. Recently, they have been working in the United States, Thailand, China, Hong Kong, and many other regions to take a step closer to be a world-star. They also set the record of being the first asian girl group to be in the Top 100 in the Billboard chart.



WonderGirls became famous as they almost swept Korea with the song "Tell Me." It wasn't hard to find men and women of all ages humming Tell Me and even parodying their dances. It hit top charts of ALL tv shows in Korea. It was a blast. They continuously presented two more albums, and those albums brought out huge hits as well, just like people have expected.


It's been a long time since WonderGirls produced their album, but K-Pop fans were recently surprised by the fact that two of the Wonder Girls members, SunYe and YaeEun were secretly donating to orphanages and to elders who live alone. It is said that they wanted this not to be revealed to the public, saying that they have been donating only to help, not for attention.

People are complementing on these two girls of how they were so nice to the needy people. As one of the person who got help from Sun Ye uploaded a picture he took with her on Twitter and wrote she was a great help to him, peoples' respect towards WonderGirls is rising. I wish for WonderGirls to meet more success in their entertainment career, just like how they are now recognized as people who are not arrogant but who can share their fortune with others.

Baby Good Night - G-Dragon & T.O.P

Baby Good Night - G-Dragon

As members of a famous idol group called Bigbang, G-Dragon and T.O.P, presented a whole new album as a duet last month. Their album had several high-quality songs, and I could see that they put a lot of effort into it. Its title song, "High High" is very exciting to listen to, but I found a song "Baby Good Night" more attractive.

G-Dragon and T.O.P's new album is simply called "GD&TOP" and they have 11 tracks in it. As all of those songs are being loved by a lot of people around Korea, and it is not surprising that they are recording the top ranks in various music charts and that more than 50,000 albums are being sold.


I noticed most of their songs are very loud, rough, and full of beats. They keep us excited and they're kind of the songs that we can hear in parties, or on a bus ride. "Baby Good Night," in the other hand, is very quiet and soft. The singers' voices makes a great harmony with the soft beat and melody, and it comforts me when I listen to it.

G-Dragon's voice takes a huge role in making this song so great. He has a very unique voice color, but it's very pleasing to listen to. He also has his own way of flowing through the beats. Since he's mainly a rapper, people didn't have a lot of chances to hear his real voice, but I think this songs shows every bit of his vocal strength and how he can attract the listeners into the flow.

T.O.P's rapping adds the most tasteful flavor into this song. Strong pronunciation, but soft flow. I was surprised by how he's rough and low voice could fit so well with the gentle melody.

I would recommend to listen to this song just before going to sleep. Not only, it would calm us down, but it would help us to fall in to the melody and just forget about the bad things that happened during the day.
