Super Junior releases "Sexy, Free & Single" MV

Holy. Super Junior has returned.  After teasing and pinching and making their fans wait, Super Junior has FINALLY released the MV for their hot new song "Sexy, Free & Single" -- the title track of their newest album Sexy, Free & Single.  SJ members shared the viral MV on Twitter to promote the release.  The video, in an insane achievement, has already gained over 41,000 likes in the one hour it was released.

With the return of T-ara, SISTAR, and now Super Junior . . . . . . is everyone still breathing?

T-ara releases "Day By Day" MV

T-ara has finally released the MV for their newest song "Day By Day."  T-ara presents its newest members Ahreum and Dani with this action-packed, drama-filled MV.  "Day By Day" is definitely more mature and darker than what T-ara has done in the past.  But although it is more of a movie than a music video, the quality is excellent and the drama is intense.  T-ara shows that they are not a group of musicians, but a group of actresses as well.

Led Apple releases MV teaser for "Run to You"

Led Apple just released the MV teaser of their upcoming mini-album "Run to You."  Set to be released on July 5th (along with 2NE1's comeback), "Run to You" seems to put Led Apple on some kind of beach house.  The teaser is pretty large at 47-seconds.

Super Junior releases "Sexy, Free & Single" MV teaser

Super Junior just released the MV teaser for their upcoming single "Sexy, Free & Single." The teasers released previously were WRONG.  They have nothing to do with the MV teaser at all.  Super Junior is shown in this teaser as what they really are: sexy, free, and, yes ladies, single.

After being released moments ago, the teaser has already garnered more than 16,000 likes.  Viral? Very.

So . . . what the hell were the teaser images about?

ZE:A releases MV teaser for "Aftermath"

After ZE:A released a 15-second audio teaser for "Aftermath", the title track for their comeback album Spectacular, ZE:A released a 30-second MV teaser for "Aftermath" today.  The MV does not match the darker concept portrayed by the album -- ZE:A is shown wearing a wide range of color -- but the music in the MV does sound a little more serious and solemn.

ZE:A returns July 4th with their title track "Aftermath."

2NE1 to release "I Love You" along with a second single later

Along with releasing a hi-definition color teaser photo, 2NE1 announced that "I Love You" will be their only single released.  Instead of releasing two singles in the album at once, 2NE1 will release the singles in succession.  "I Love You" will be released on July 5th while the second single (which has not been named) will be released three weeks later.

This strategy has been used by 2NE1 before.  The singles "Lonely" and "I Am the Best" were released in succession as well as singles "Hate You" and "Ugly."

2NE1 will be making their stage comeback on July 8th on Inkigayo.

CHI CHI releases comeback MV "Love us Energy"

CHI CHI has just released their MV for their comeback song "Love is Energy."  "Love is Energy" focuses both on the vocal strength and dance skills, allowing CHI CHI to show how much they have continued to grow as a group.

CHI CHI wears weird finger puppet gloves along with a wing set made out of . . . leaves?  Although some may not like the dub step as it does not "fit in" -- I think it fits in perfectly fine.  The weird finger move twiddling they do in the air, however, is questionable.

NU'EST releases album concept photo

NU'EST, who is planned to come back sometime in mid-July, has released a teaser/concept photo for their upcoming album (the album name has not been released).  NU'EST is shown with masks over their faces while an eerie light glows above.

Fans worry that since so many comebacks are happening at the same time that NU'EST will return to the K-pop scene unnoticed.  Hey, let's keep some positivity out there okay?

Guesses for what their album will be about, anyone?
My guesses are (according to the lighting + masks):
1. Confines of society and its narrow scope
2. Importance of self-identity and individualism
3. Beauty lies within
4. What society wants of us and what we want

LOL. Are those even appropriate guesses?

2NE1 verifies "I Love You" as name of comeback title track

After releasing some teasers, fans speculated that the name of the upcoming 2NE1 title track name would be "I Love You" (Bom's teaser photo had the phrase printed on her poster).  This was later confirmed to be correct by Star News.  So far all members have had teaser photos released except for Minzy.

2NE1 is also preparing for their upcoming New Evolution tour as well.

CHI CHI to return with "Love is Energy"

CHI CHI is set to release their upcoming single "Love is Energy" on June 28th.  After promoting themselves in japan, CHI CHI plans to make a return in Korea. The album cover released suggests a simple and beautiful track -- maybe leaning more towards their song "Longer."

 The group has faced many changes since its debut in March 2011 including a withdrawal of two members and a replacement.  The group struggled with their debut "Don't Play Around," but were praised for their vocals in their single "Longer."  CHI CHI's Japanese debut was very successful -- they were able to reach the #25 spot in the Japanese Oricon Daily charts.

CHI CHI has really grown in the past year -- are you ready for their return?

B2ST to return with comeback "War and Peace" in July

After some speculation regarding the date of B2ST's return, it has been revealed that B2ST will be making their comeback sometime next month.  The album is rumored to be titled War and Peace, although it has not officially been confirmed by CUBE Entertainment yet.

B2ST began their first world tour, "Beautiful Show," in February, which was their main focus.

The title War and Peace would be similar to the contrast in the title of their album Fiction and Fact.

Well, is it sexy or not? 2NE1 hints at comeback

Allkpop released an article referring to hints of 2NE1's comeback, but what came in the article gave no further information on 2NE1's comeback.  2 quotations came from the article:
1. "Mm, sexy? No, no at all! It's a secret" -- Dara
2. "Personally, I think that this upcoming stage is a bit sexy" -- Minzy

What we gained from article:
1. Comeback in early July
2. It's a little sexy

Luckily I have a meter to help me understand this new information:

2NE1's comeback is a "bit sexy" . . . but when has 2NE1 ever done a MV that isn't sexy?

I'VE BEEN ENLIGHTENED!

Miss A releases "Goodbye Baby" MV

Immediately after releasing their newest single "Goodbye Baby", Miss A released the stunning MV for the single.  Amping up their sass from "Bad Girl Good Girl", "Goodbye Baby"'s MV is much more breathtaking and mature.  Miss A is shown being rejected by a manager, who thinks that Miss A is not worthy.  The girls get back by putting him in a tank and slowly drowning him.

Very different from the other MVs Miss A released, "Goodbye Baby" is well-directed with a strong storyline and choreography.

MV AND LYRICS UNDER THE CUT

Miss A releases full audio for "Goodbye Baby"

Miss A just released the full audio for their newest single "Goodbye Baby" 2 hours ago through their official Facebook page.  The song is a mix of the 2 teaser versions released in the past week; it's a mix of electronic/rock/pop.  The song is strong throughout with a consistent beat.

What will Miss A's choreography look like with such a strong song?

BTW. Miss A's Jia's rap is amazing ~

Big Bang is splitting up . . . again!

Big Bang is set to make a return to Kpop, not as a group this time, but as individual artists.  YG Entertainment stated that "excluding Daesung, all of the members are currently preparing for their solo albums.  The member who completes their album first will make their comeback first."

YG seems to respect the talents of each member of Big Bang, as this is not the first time that Big Bang has worked separately (GD and TOP/Taeyang and GD have worked as a duo, Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri have released successful solo careers).

G-Dragon has already started his activities -- he flew almost immediately to Japan to work on his solo album.  GD had started his work secretly and did not announce it publicly.  It is known if they other members have started their work or are keeping their work a secret.

But now it seems like it's time for a little friendly competition...
Totally random and equally chanced...
WHO DO YOU THINK WILL COME BACK FIRST?
