TAEYANG - 눈,코,입 (EYES, NOSE, LIPS) MV [Review]

By -



As I've mentioned before in a previous blog post, I am not a real huge fan of Taeyang. I do like Bigbang as a group, their music is superb and I hardly dislike anything from them as a whole . . . but I do get a little picky when they start individual promotions for each member, the releases from them individually can be a hit or miss with me. That being said . . . here is Taeyang's newest MV release and my thoughts on the Music Video and song.

Music Video



The Song

Honestly, I was disappointed . . . the "teaser" that was released prior to this made it sound like it was going to be something much more upbeat. Instead I was given a ballad, not that ballads are bad, I just wasn't expecting it. BUT! the more I listen to it (I have it on repeat while writing this) the more I like it, though I will have to be in the mood for a ballad if I ever decide to listen to it when it's on my iPod. Taeyang has an awesome voice, I really enjoy it but since I've never listened to much of his solo work before I was unaware of this fact . . . so this is good to know for future music choices.

The Video

Was boring . . . . That's right I said it, I would have preferred it to have more substance because the most exciting part of this video was when the billboard he is standing in front of was set aflame. Otherwise all it consists of is a shirtless Taeyang, something I've learned is not an uncommon occurrence in any music video he's in. I cannot stress enough how much I was expecting something more from this music video, the teaser made it look like he was gonna be walking around a city, not just being in a warehouse while signing a sad sounding song.


So how you feel about this release? was it everything you were hoping it would be? or were you like me and felt a little disappointed by it? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

Hallyu World Domination--SM Entertainment's Grand Plan

It was bound to happen eventually. For at least 2 years we have been seeing teasers and images following SM Entertainment's "SM Rookies" group. While the group consists of boys and girls, both of whom have been helping Super Junior's Leeteuk MC Disney Korea's Mickey Mouse Club, recently it's been clear that Lee Soo Man's primary focus has revolved around the boys. Of course Wednesday's announcement is only adding fuel to the fire, resulting in SM Entertainment really taking the term "Boy Group" to the next level.

Running Man: A Drinking Game

Waaaaay back when this blog was still new, I foolishly created a set of drinking games to play while watching your favorite Kdramas. (listed here . . . .  please forgive me, they probably need need a massive revamping). This got me thinking, you should probably only stick to watching Kdramas you've seen multiple times while playing the game. That cuts out a lot of possible dramas you can watch, and that's unfortunate . . .  unless, of course, you don't particularly care about remembering what happens in the drama you pick. Which then lead me and Aunnie to creating this interesting game. If you've been in the Hallyu-verse for as long as we have, I'm sure you've heard of a little variety show called . . .

In an effort towards being more productive on this blog, I have decided to finish as many of my incomplete posts as possible. I have so many posts in draft mode people it isn't even funny anymore. Then again I digress.....I present to you, what will be the first of (hopefully) many more posts for your reading pleasure.  A K-Pop GIF Challenge!! To start, go to your GIF folder. You have one I know you do. For each part choose every 5th GIF. Begin with either the 5th GIF from the bottom and then move up your list. OR start with the 5th from the top of your list, then move down.

Everyone Ready?
