R.I.P RiSe

Another one gone. My heart breaks even more.

18 months ago, I was excitedly watching a new girl group who caught my attention with their catchy debut single.

Now, I'm crying watching the news of two of the member's passings.

Though my heart is breaking, a tiny part of me is glad RiSe won't be suffering through her pain any more.

RiSe and EunB are truly best friends forever.




I love you guys. I hope you will be happy together in heaven

R..I.P EunB

Ladies Code is one of my favourite girl groups. And it completely broke me when i heard about this news.
It has been a 24 hours since and i still can't get over the fact that i was watching their performance only a day before. 


There have been so many idol car accidents before(SuJu, Secret, Dal Shabet, T-ara, Sooyoung, Jonghyun), yet we always expect them to be alright. This accident makes all of us realise that we should embrace one's life fully, as we don't know when they will go. And if there are so many in the celebrity circle, how many would there be in the population of South Korea? I hope S.Korea will learn from this terrible tragedy to reinforce more road safety laws to ensure that a young unfulfilled life will not be taken away from us like this again. 

R.I.P EunB, I hope that your brightness will light up the heavens and that you look safely upon your members. 

I pray for RiSe who is still in a critical condition, as well as the other members who suffer greatly both physically and mentally. 

And to think that it was Sojung's birthday, and how she will never be able to be completely happy on her birthday ever again. And to think RiSe doesn't even know yet in the critical condition she is in, and if she will even be able to process it properly with how severe her injuries are. And to think EunB was only 22. And her bright personality and voice is taken away from her family and the world. To think how unbelievable and shocking this is to her family, who were thinking she was safe, living out her dreams. 












Translation: I really love Lavely <3

R.I.P EunB, you will be missed by your Lavelys all around the world and we wish you will be happy above.

Favourite Kpop Songs of 2013 July- December

July-
1. Coffee Shop- B.A.P
2. NoNoNo- Apink
3. Rum Pum Pum Pum- f(x)
4. U & I- Ailee

B.A.P's Coffee Shop is a smooth jazzy song which soothes you as you listen to the great vocals, with Zelo's singing which surprised and delighted everyone. The music video was also soothing as well as delightful to the eye. ;) Apink's NoNoNo brought joy to fans through their cheerful words of encouragement. The song also garnered much attention for their catchy dance and S.E.S-like costuming. Rum Pum Pum Pum definitely brought out f(x)'s much loved uniqueness in both the music video and song. The dance wowed once again as did Krystal's pink hair. Ailee's amazing vocals blew everyone away once again with her song U&I.  She's definitely one talented idol. 

August-
1. Hate You- Ladies Code
2. Growl- EXO
3. Badman- B.A.P
4. Do You Love Me- 2NE1
5. 1-4-3- Henry

Rookie group Ladies Code gave me chills with their haunting vocals in Hate You. The symbolic music video was well done and still creeps me out, in a good way of course. EXO definitely shot up with their release of Growl. The song is catchy, the dance is amazing and the music video was great. B.A.P's Badman has a fantastic dance, amazing vocals and raps and six good-looking boys men. Need I say more? Do You Love Me by 2NE1 surprised everyone as it is somewhat different from their usual style. They pulled it off and the song still gets caught in my head. Henry did not disappoint with his follow up song, 1-4-3. The sweet love song got me smiling and Amber's featuring great. 

September-
1. Pretty Pretty- Ladies Code
2. Crooked- G-Dragon
3. Who You?- G-Dragon
4. False Hope- Song Jieun
5. Damaged Lady- Kara

The retro song, Pretty Pretty by Ladies Code got me with their catchy dance moves and quirky music video. The slightly feminist lyrics displayed a woman's confidence, which is rather hard to find. G-Dragon never fails to amaze me and he definitely wowed me with Crooked. The song is good musically as well as being catchy. Unsurprisingly, another GD song made it on my list this month. Who You? is a sweet song with a great music video which was pulled together with the help of V.I.Ps. Song Jieun came back solo with False Hope. Her vocals and the music video were so amazing that I had to re-watch it over and over. Kara came back with a mature image with Damaged Lady. The song and dance are both great and I just love their simple outfits as well as the elegant ones. 

October-
1. Symptoms- SHINee
2. Everybody- SHINee
3. The Red Shoes- IU
4. Number Nine- T-ara
5. You Don't Know Love- K.Will
6. Now- Troublemaker

Symptoms by SHINee just blew me away as soon as I heard the song.  With Jonghyun's great lyrics and SHINee's amazing talent, Symptoms became another SHINee song I like better than their title song. Everybody came a close 2nd though, and I absolutely love the dance. They are so synchronised and even though it is incredibly hard, they still manage to sing amazing on top of that. I really liked IU's catchy song, The Red Shoes. She danced very well, her vocals are excellent and she looks amazing with her brown locks. Number Nine is another catchy song by T-ara which has a fantastic dance to it. The girls look good in the music video and they sang very well. K.Will's You Don't Know Love is a great song which though is sad, is rather calming to listen to. K.Will's voice so smooth and he will always be one of my favourite male soloists. Troublemaker made their sexy comeback with Now. I love the story of the music video and they both do well in singing and dancing.

November-
1. Doom Dada- T.O.P
2. Missing You- 2NE1
3. Hush- Miss A
4. Ringa Linga- Taeyang

T.O.P's deep voice in Doom Dada makes the song so pleasant to listen to. The music video is deep but quirky and the song is just so damn catchy that it's stuck in my head now! 2NE1's Missing You is another song which is musically good. They all sing well and the music video was deep 2NE1 style. Hush by Miss A is a song which presents their sexy side. They all look great, the song is catchy, the dance is sexy, what else more do they need? Taeyang's long waited comeback with Ringa Linga caught everyone with the catchy chorus. The dance is excellent, but then again, what do we expect from Taeyang? It seems that November was a YG month!!

December-
1. Miracles in December- EXO
2. Still You- Eunhae
3. Winter Song- Freestyle ft Navi
4. Mornin'- G.Na ft Phantom

EXO did it again with Miracles in December. I still can't get over Chen's amazing voice and this definitely topped my winter songs list. Another SM song of December was Still You by Eunhyuk & Donghae. It is very different from their previous songs as it is quite a soothing song. Yet you still get to see Eunhae ships sailing at the end!! Winter Song by Freestyle is another smooth ballad of winter that I love listening to. A bonus was Song Jihyo's great acting in the music video! A more uplifting December song is Mornin' by G.NA and Phantom's . Their melodic voices melded together very well and i definitely can't get enough of it. 

Special Mention-

Climax-Team B

I support both Team B and WINNER, however I was sad to see Team B go back to training. This was one was my favourite performances of the year and I still cry after watching it a gazillion times. Hopefully both groups do well in the future!!



Soo that's a wrap for 2013!! What were your favourite songs of 2013?? :)
