[Korean Culture] Mnet Hip Hop Reality Show “GOOD GIRL” #2

Good Girl: Who Robbed The Station, simply known as Good Girl, is a television program that aired every Thursday at 23:00 on Mnet from May 14, 2020 to July 2, 2020.

“Good Girl” features Korean female hip hop and R&B artists Ailee, Cheetah, Jamie (formerly Park Jimin), Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon, Sleeq, CLC’s Yeeun, KARD’s Jiwoo, Queen WA$ABII, Yunhway, and Lee Young Ji.

These artists will be put on a team together and will complete quests by performing and competing against a team designated by the show in order to win a prize.

I fell in love with Jamie!!! I like a comment that said “Jamie’s voice is like a mixture of Corrine Bailey Rae and H. E. R. So much potential for Jamie to prosper in music industry. Jamie is fully aware of the variations of singing and ways of pronouncing words, so her current voice/phonetics sound suit her image now.”

I found another charming woman.

I hope you feel your eardrums tremble today. 🙂

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

Korean Drama l It’s Okay To Not Be Okay OST

“It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” (Korean: 사이코지만 괜찮아) is a 2020 South Korean romantic television series starring Kim Soo-hyun and Seo Ye-ji. The series tells an unusual romance story between two people who end up healing each other’s emotional and psychological wounds.

The heroine is very funny here!! Especially when she fights with the deer, it’s the funniest. Oh, you really have to see this.

But there are no English subtitles in Korean videos…

So I brought the OST today.

I hope today will be a happy day for you.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

Although Korea is known for K-pop, it seems that everyone thinks of Orientalism. If you watch these videos, you can see that Korea also has open mind.

JAMIE is my favorite.. She slays KPOP just the way she is! She never tried to change herself to fit into trend instead she walked her own way. She has so much talent and voice.. love it.

Is your eardrum happy? See you next time!

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

[Korean Culture] Musician Henry Performance

Henry Lau, commonly referred to mononymously as Henry, is a Canadian singer, songwriter, actor, entertainer and classical violinist based in South Korea and China.

He is lovely in conversation and overflowing in music.

The harmony that builds up through his loop station is more electrifying..

He is trying many musical things, and it is not enough to call him a genius.

Above all, music is really good to listen to.

You saw the next song once before, but it was so good that I introduce it again.

I’m going crazy at the part where the high notes come out and the part where the beat changes.

May this 15 minutes be your happiness.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

[Korean Culture] Yoo Jae Seok, Lee Hyori, Rain (SSAK3)

“Hangout with Yoo” is a South Korean reality show program on MBC. It airs on MBC starting from July 27, 2019 on Saturdays at 18:30.

The project group SSAK3, created through the TV variety show “Hangout with Yoo,” swept domestic charts with their latest release. “Here at the Beach Again” was released on Saturday, June 19 and instantly climbed to the top of domestic music charts.

In addition, SSAK3 (Lee Hyori, Yoo Jae Seok, Rain) will be donating to communities in need. The group is currently very popular in Korea. The reason is that Lee Hyo-ri, the most popular female solo artist in the 1990s, and Rain, the best male solo singer in the 1990s, and Yoo Jae-seok, the nation’s top MC, are gathered.

After 10 to 20 years, the fans at that time reacted tremendously. It’s like seeing their childhood again. Let’s watch the demo video.

When dancing in freestyle, it’s the most thrilling. Lee Hyo-ri is in her 40s! All three of them were really good at self-care even when they were old. Many people were moved by the comments.

He had a compact and muscular body. As he has been managing himself to dance, the feeling itself is different from others when it comes to dancing.

I hope these videos will heal your life. 🙂

[2020 Voice Korea] Five Top Duet Songs

First I say this is my whole personal opinion. It’s a show that I enjoy watching these days! It is a Korean music competition program called “The Voice Korea.”

Although they sing Korean songs, you will feel that their voice and skills are amazing! I hope about 20 minutes of this time will be tea time for you. 🙂

임해나 vs 박창인 – 밤차 (Train at Night)

이새봄 vs 라다정 – 1,2,3,4

박다은 vs 김영흠 – 이별의 종착역 (Terminus of Parting)

15 Minutes mini-Couch Concert

It rains a lot today. So I brought three songs to refresh myself.

If you’re struggling these days, I hope you give yourself a present. I’ve been trying so hard to comfort myself.

I can’t stop the feeling~ Let’s move on to the next song.

It is a special stage for the Baeksang Arts Awards (백상예술대상). It’s very touching and it’s very popular.

Henry’s performance is amazing!! Because of the COVID-19, everyone is watching busking in the car.

It’s been almost 15 minutes. Lastly, I hope you have a happy day today.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

[Korean Culture] One GANG a day l Rain Effect

Rain, a very famous singer in Korea in the early 2000s, released a song called “GANG” in 2017. However, the song was ruined by public criticism.

The reason was that although his dance was very good, the lyrics were so cheesy and straightforward. And the times were changing rapidly, and in Korea, idols came up. He is now the head of the agency, but at that time he was a losing star.

But in 2020, something crazy happened. The number of views in his GANG music video began to explode. A high school girl parodied it and suddenly caught the eye, and people began to come over and over again, shouting out “One GANG a day.”

The comment box in the music video is a big festival of humor. There were so many witty and funny comments, and people gathered more explosively. The number of views, which was initially 5 million, is now surpassing 15 million in a short period of time.

The period of self-isolation increased during the Corona, so people watched more, and parody videos exploded. It’s a lot.

Nevertheless, there has been no response from the singer himself for a long time. However, he appeared with famous MC Yoo Jae-seok in May 2020, accelerating the trend even more. Accepting criticism and responding leisurely with humor have attracted a great deal of people. There are a lot of responses that say, “He’s a big man.”

Then, his juniors even made the official parody music video. Even the RAIN appears here. I personally like to hear this song. And he’s taking this opportunity to appear on so many TV shows and YouTube. There is no one in Korea who doesn’t know RAIN & GANG these days. I hope this information is helpful.

[2020 Voice Korea] Artist Kim Yeji “ALL TURN”

I brought a video of songs that will make me feel better today.

This time, on a Korean music competition program called Voice Korea, I’m going to introduce a woman who has captured the hearts of judges at once with an incredibly attractive voice and a feeling of intoxication with music.

Her name is “Kim Yeji.” She majored in vocal at a university famous in Korea. They sing songs such as K-pop or pop songs, not opera or vocal music. Look at her expression. It’s like a drunk. She must be drunk with music.

So I looked up other videos, and I was even more surprised.

BLACKPINK – Whistle

The climax is amazing. She also sang pop songs such as “When we were young” and “Mamma knows best.” I like Jessica’s “Mamma knows best” best.

I found her YouTube channel.

I think she’s already a great artist. I hope her song will be known to many people around the world. I’m sure you’ll fall in love with it.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!
