Just like what I’ve said on my last entry, I am a JYP stan so now I will feature another JYP’s star Bae Suzy also known as Suzy. She was born on October 10, 1994 and she is the main vocal of the girl group ‘Miss A’ under JYP Entertainment and debuted on 2010. Suzy is also an actress; she was casted in different Korean Dramas like Dream High, Gu Family Book, and her latest drama Uncontrollably Fond with Kim Woo Bin that was ended last year. Aside from her sweet voice and great acting skills, she is also widely known because she is the girlfriend of the one of the most handsome and in demand actors in Korea, Lee Min-Ho. They confirmed their relationship last 2015 after they were spotted by Dispatch.

     After many years of waiting for her solo debut, now all the wishes have been granted because Suzy finally released her first solo album entitled, “Yes? No?” last January 24, 2017. Her title song “Yes No Maybe” has been sitting on #1 spot in all Korean Music charts and her music video on YouTube has 2,195,521 views as of today and she also uploaded her “Dance Practice Video” on YouTube 4 days ago and now has 1,011,210 views. This truly shows how famous she is not only in Korea but also in other countries as well.

As part of her solo promotions, she is currently starring on a reality show entitled, “Off the Record, Suzy”; this show focuses on her daily life as an idol and a simple lady. One of the episodes showed her simple life; drinking, sleeping, and watching television in her luxurious house in Samseong, Seoul.

For me, she is one of the most beautiful idols/actresses in Korea because she has a natural beauty and she never undergone plastic surgery. She is beautiful even without makeup and she can also pull-off any fashion styles and for me that is the real beauty. Although I’m not an avid fan of her, I wish for her solo success. SUZY FIGHTING!!!

Every day with DAY6

I’m not sure if everyone is familiar with this boy band group. They are not the type of group that can sing and dance at the same time unlike GOT7 and BIGBANG that I featured before. This group is a rock band formed by JYP Entertainment, honestly I’m a JYP stan and I don’t know why. This group is the junior of GOT7 since they debuted last 2015 after GOT7 debuted. I would like to introduce to you my favorite Korean rock band DAY6! This group consists of six members of course but Junhyeok left the group due to dating controversy that’s why only five members were left named Sung Jin, Jae, Brian/Young K, Won Pil, and Do Woon.

When I heard their song ‘Letting Go’, I was mesmerized with the melody but when I saw the English translation of the lyrics, I felt the sadness and pain. Even in their song ‘Congratulations’, I felt the heartache that they want all the listeners to feel. I started to become curious because for me, they are so cool and their voices are so lit. I watched all their performances and even their radio guesting.  I also love their playfulness and their k-pop songs cover. My favorite members are Jae and Young K because I love their voice and their cover of English songs. Their group can sing English songs and that’s the main reason why I love them. I love Jae and Young K’s cover of ‘She Will Be Loved’ by Maroon 5 and also ‘Lost Star’ by Adam.

One thing that I noticed about them is that most of their songs are about heartbreaks and I am so curious why they wrote this kind of songs.  I want this group to be recognized worldwide and I know that they deserve it because they are all great singers. They released a new song entitled ‘I wait’ and I hope that this will be a success.

Here are the videos of them singing ‘She Will Be Loved’ and ‘Lost Star’. J

One last “Good Bye” from 2NE1

November 25 last year is the day when the K-pop industry was blown by sudden news about 2NE1’s disbandment. Many k-poppers especially the ‘Blackjacks”- 2NE1’s official fan club name, feel so disappointed towards YG Entertainment. 2NE1 is one of the iconic girl groups in k-pop industry. They captured their fans’ heart through their strong girl power concepts. They debuted last 2009 with their single “Fire” which also became popular here in the Philippines. Sandara Park or Dara is one of the reasons why many Filipinos recognized them because we all know that Sandara started her career here in the Philippines on which her title is “Pambansang krung-krung ng Pilipinas”. Throughout their journey, they faced so many struggles that challenged their group; from Park Bom’s issue to Minzy leaving YG Entertainment.

Even though I’m not a blackjack, I feel so sad because I also love their songs and it’s been 2 years since their last single. Another reason why many fans are ranting about YG Entertainment is because they thought that 2NE1 will soon make a comeback because of some hints on social media posted by the members. But then, the disbandment made them disappointed. The three remaining members posted their thoughts about their disbandment. They expressed how sorry they are; they said that they will not forget all the blackjacks who supported them ‘till the end. They apologized for not releasing their final album before their disbandment. And January 5 this year, the news broke out about 2NE1’s final comeback. YG Entertainment announced that 2NE1 will have their final comeback before they officially disband.

2NE1 will release their last song entitled “Good Bye” on January 21, 2017. The insiders revealed that this song was originally for CL, 2NE1’s leader. They said that this song was for CL’s solo promotion in U.S. Only the three remaining members are doing the comeback since Minzy left the entertainment and also preparing for her solo promotion. I am sure that all the blackjacks are celebrating because of this news; they are excited to see their idols performing on stage. Honestly, I am also excited because I believe that they deserve that comeback. When I watched their last performance on MAMA last 2015, I witnessed how great they are. All of their fans were shocked after they saw the four members and started to scream at the top of their lungs just to shout their names and as a fan, I feel so proud because if I were in the shoes of them I will do the same thing. Even though they're finished as a group, I believe that all the members will continue to support each other’s activities; they will continue their passion as a solo idol, they will not forget all their fans and I also believe that all the blackjacks will not forget them and they will always there to support them. 2NE1 x BLACKJACK FIGHTING!

BLΛƆKPIИK IN YOUR AREA

The title says it all; “BLΛƆKPIИK IN YOUR AREA” is the first line in the debut song of the one of the famous rookies last year, BLΛƆKPIИK – is the second girl group after 2ne1 produced by YG Entertainment. They debuted on August 8, 2016 with their single album “Square One”. The group consists of four members named Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. “Pink Mafia/ Blink” were the fandom name used by their fans since Blackpink’s fandom name is not yet official. With their sexy and unique concepts, I would say that they differ from other girl groups because most of the girl groups these days are sticking on their cute and sweet concepts which is too common for me.

I just noticed them last month because I’m not really into girl groups but after I listened to their song “STAY”, I became curious and I started to watch their performances. Their song “STAY” is my favorite among their songs because of the lyrics, I don’t know I just find it so sweet. Even though they are still a rookie, they received many awards in different shows like MMA and MAMA. They received the “Best New Artist Award” in Melon Music Awards/MMA, they also received the “Best Music Video” and “Best Of Next Artist Award” in Mnet Asian Music Awards/MMA. I also watched their first ever guesting on “Weekly Idol” and through that, I became more interested to them because they are so jolly especially Jisoo and Lisa. They showed their crazy side by impersonating their CEO and I found it so cute. They also joined “Running Man” and they enjoyed every missions, they gave their best just to win the last mission and I love how they showed their closeness even though they are divided into two.



Lisa is my bias because she’s a great dancer, I love how she moves in every beat and I love her rap style because I see G-Dragon in her whenever I hear her rap. Aside from being a great dancer, I also love her because she’s a friend of GOT7’s Bambam. They were part of the group “We Zaa Cool” in Thailand. She is also the first non-Korean artist in YG Entertainment. But I love them all because they are so cool and they remind me of 2NE1. I’m looking forward to their upcoming unique songs and I hope that they will show more of their sides for them to have more fans. BLACKPINK Fighting! <3

Here is the song that I'm talking about, entitled "Stay". There's`` an English translation so don't worry. Hope you have fun! <3
