2NE1's Favorite Designers

Always wanted to know where 2NE1 got their amazing clothing from? Well, if you've been listening to their musice, you should know that CL has already revealed their favorite designers already in the first line of "Can't Nobody (English)".

"Balmain to KTZ

Many style from A to Z

Jeremy Scott Givenchy

Bitch You ain’t got shit on me

Chrome hearts Fendi furs

Dripped in shits you never heard

Louboutin Hermes"



Minzy wearing a Jeremy Scott for Adidas outfit



But if you have been paying any attention to the fashion world at all, you have probably already spotted that Jeremy Scott seems to be 2NE1's favorite designer by far. They've been wearing his clothing ever since their debut and they seem to have a very close friendship.

 Jeremy has been seen with the members in photo shoots, parties, and you can catch Minzy chatting with the designer on Twitter from time to time. I've recently found this blog that points out most of the clothes that the group wears. The girls usually wear the clothing Jeremy designed for Adidas, but other outfits can only be found in his collection.

Video Spotlight: Ora (오라) - Naughty Face [1080p HD]

This song came out last year, but this is the first time I've ever heard of this artist.The music video may be lacking, but it is pretty creative to be on a budget. The song is pretty good too. Just take a listen and tell me what you think.

Video Spotlight: TwiNy (트위니) - Nervous Heart (가슴이 떨려) MV [HD]

There are a lot of Kpop artist that come out that have a lot potential, but are never heard of because they're stuck in the shadow of another group (SNSD). TwiNy is one of those groups. You can see from this video that the music video probably didn't cost as much as some others,which might mean they debuted from a smaller company, but the song is still cute. If this duo had been released by a group such as YG or another major label, these girls could have been great. They may have even given DaVichi some competition. What do you think?

Only in Korea: BigBang commercials

BigBang for Baskin Robin

Celebrities all around the world use their popularity to promote all sorts of products. But it will probably be a while before you see stars like Beyonce or Lady Gaga advertising chicken, unless Gaga decides to make another meat dress. But Korean groups and idol stars are using their cuteness and
sex appeal to promote all types of items. Clothing lines, skin products, and the local fried chicken stores- you name it, they've probably sponsored it.  Check out these CFs I found of BigBang. They'll put a smile on your face. I've got a lot more so stay tuned for more, CFs by BigBang and other Kpop/Jpop artists!

Is IU in love with her father?

IU's new video "The Story Only I Didn't Know" is causing a lot of talk online about the storyline. In the video, we see IU in a very sad state and there is also an older man seen in the video which fans thought was her lover. Later, a doctor talks to IU about the man, saying he is her father, yet she tells the doctor that the man "They all say he's my Father but he's not". A later scene reveals that IU is in a mental hospital. This ending leaves fans wondering if the man was actually IU's dad or not.

Many have already given their theories about the story that range from incest, to innocent love. Some fans think that her lover was old enough to be her father, and everyone assumed he was. But because she denies the man was her "father",IU was admitted to a mental institute.

Of course, others think that IU truly is crazy and doesn't realize that she was in love with her father.

What do you think, is the man her father or is really her lover?

5Dolls and Jay Park "Your Words" pt 2

Chanmi and Jay Park in "Your Words" video.

Before I begin, I have to get this off my chest: Auto-Tune should DIE! Every Kpop artist under the sun is using it and it automatically turns me off. I had to make myself watch the video after hearing the first five seconds. Ugh- now to the post.-

5Dolls have released the continuation to their cliffhanging video "Lipstain" called "Your Words". In this video  we see Chanmi's view on all the drama. We learn that most of the insinuations in the first video were just little misunderstandings and don't be surprised when you begin to see Chanmi in a different light than before. I won't tell you all why, so you'll just have to watch the video yourself. Once again, Jay Park looks excellent!

Fun Fact: The sparkly cat eared jacket she was wearing was by Jeremy Scott. Isn't he becoming Kpop's big designer?

For the English audience, I'm not sue as to what is being said in the beginning of the video, but it I will post a translation soon.

Video Spotlight: IU and TomTom Slow motion cover

I was really surprised that IU and TomTom teamed, but even more surprised to learn that they were singing "Slow Motion" by Karina Passion. My sister has been playing the original all week long, so it's ironic that I clicked on it (she just asked me why I'm listening to her song).

TomTom's voice really works for this song, it's so strong and full of power. These two are my favorite solo artists and I think they aren't as talked about as they should be. IU is getting work acting in Dream High and working in the studio, but TomTom hasn't been heard from in a while. Tell me what you think about the video, and be sure to check out some more music by Karina, IU, and TomTom




I've added the Karina's version too, just to broaden your horizons ^^

Words from Chan: Artwork

IU collage~ysb concept

Like the picture above? It's just something I put together today starring the beloved IU. As you may know from reading my messages on the toolbar below or answering the poll on the right, I'm looking for a new background for the site. It's really hard to find a Kpop blogger template with my favorite artists, or at least one that looks good enough for the site. So, I've been making these on my own.

Some of the pics have been taken from Deviant Artists such as the one below that I took from TsukiNita (I added the words and such).

I've been trying my hand at making my own backgrounds now. I searched the web for some of my favorite Kpop artists and went to work. They may not be the best, but they are pretty good if you ask me.

5Dolls

 I'm still looking around, so stay tuned! If you'd like to submit a background idea, just leave a comment below or send your picture to Teddychantastic@yahoo.com. Be sure to add "Back Ground Image" in the subject line. Also, don't forget to vote on the right!

Jay Park is back again, this time he's working alongside Co-ed's female sub group 5DOLLS in their new MV "Lipstain". Jay plays a boy caught between two girls who love him.  Meanwhilether is alot of conniving going on throught out the video and also a dance battle (boy do these girls have skills!)



Doesn't Jay look good in a uniform? I never noticed he had so many tattoos - one on his neck, one on behind his ear. Check out the video and be sure to tune in for part 2! Tell me what you guys think!

Video Spotlight: Asian Invasion

I recently found this Link to Youtube's Trends blog. This just shows that KPop is gaining popularity in the States. THis is only the beginning guys. When 2NE1 debut and Wonder Girls drop another single, don't be surprised if everybody starts having "Can't Nobody" or "So Hot" on their playlist.

2NE1- Can't Nobody English MV

It's official. 2NE1 has released a video for their English version of "Can't Nobody". Supposedly this video was released in Japan just a few days ago in Japan. It looks mostly like the original, with a few changes like Dara in here 30ft dress climbing a billion stairs. The video isn't on the girl's YouTube account however, so maybe they'll upload an official version soon.  You can downlaod the video from itunes Japan for only 200 yen (about $2). Enjoy the video and support 2NE1!

Youtubers Demand BigBang World Tour

Big Bang may soon be heading to a city near you

Big Bang is going to have a world tour, that is if Netizens have their way. Netizens have been egging on a BigBang World Tour for the past weeks and have been using YouTube to make their voices heard.  Go to any video by Big Bang or its members and you'll more than likely see a comment that looks a bit like this:

"ATTENTION BIGBANG LOVERS: We must work to get the WORLD TOUR that we deserve! I know that YG wants to do the world tour, but they think that they won't sell as many tickets in other areas of the world as they would in Japan or Korea. That's why I have a plan. Copy and paste this message on as many BIGBANG videos as you can. Also include where you are from so that YG KNOWS that BIGBANG has international fans. Thanks guys! If all of us pitch in we'll get what we want!

~US"

These comments are not only coming from the US, but also Canada, Australia, the UK, India, and even Germany! If you think that Big Bang deserves a world tour, or if you just want to see them in your country,  join in the fight! Just Copy and paste the comment on a Big Bang video and leave your country at the bottom. You can also make a video response to one of Big Bangs videos and tell them why they should come to your country. Who knows, this may convince Papa YG to update the guys transports, ya?

 Here is one VIP that is making sure her voice is heard and spreading the message:

Video Spotlight: G.D & TOP - Baby Good Night Video Over 1 million views

GD and TOP have released their new video "Baby Good Night". After only being released for three days it has already gotten well over 1 millions views on YouTube. The video is more sensual than the other videos the duo has presented from their album. There seems to be a storyline, mainly focusing on TOP thinking about the girl that he loves, and wishing h could be with her. I think that the snake in the video is a representation of TOP. There is also speculation that CL is the woman speaking French in the start and end of the video. What do you think?

Jay Park Goes Hard: 6'7'' Remix

          Jay Park goes hard.  Don't believe me? Just listen to him rap on the beat of Lil Wayne's "6'7'' and decide for yourself. Jay raps continually from the beginning to the end of the song and I must say I am impressed with his lyrical skills. JayWalkers have begun to spread this video like a virus. After only being posted for a week, the video has over half a million views on Youtube, been shared over 17 thousand times on Facebook, and tweeted over 23.3 thousand times on Twitter!

It's also getting great reviews from Netizens as well; 

"Damn, I've had this going on replay in my head for the past week...

If this is something he did for fun, imagine his upcoming album, though it wont be straight up rap like this it's gonna be dope! :D"

" From kpop to this? Hell yeah!"

What do you guys think, does Jay Park have skills or what?
