I have to say this- your allergy to anything provocative/sexy is really tiring. K pop cannot be only about being cute/clean, and there's nothing wrong in acting sexy. I like your reviews, but your constant critic attitude about anything even remotely provocative is just irritatingly old fashioned. There's a difference between being slutty and sexy, and I think you're not seeing it.

I do disagree about Trouble Maker... I really liked the song and video. I agree they didn't show enough of the storyline shots, so we never really got a since of why they were doing what they were, but I thought the dancing was some of the best I've seen this year. Great episode! ~

one more thing i so agree with you about trouble maker when i see the guy from beast i get this feeling like i am looking at something wrong i know this sounds bad but he always reminds me of a girl so when i see them all over each other i feel like it is two girls are doing it

because he looks so much like female and i think she should have stopped at bubble pop it was good not as much rubbing but it is still there i really liked change but what went wrong after that it started down hill

[animate107]

i was going to like this but then they downed bang and zelo sorry

[alkoreah]

11:58 is not mixing ball of weirdness it is ( حمص وفول ) beans

with طحينة

it is very testy dish you should try it out !!

[kaichrono]

Yeah, I like bang and zelo too. It's a video. I guess I don't really expect videos to make sense....and Byg is hot as hell. Zelo is beautiful.

[laughmoojii]

What bothers me most about the sexy concept is the fact that these girls miss the line between classy sexy and just plain out slutty sexy....especially Hyuna. She has a great body, but it would be better for her if she was classy sexy.

Nicole seems fun! :D

a guy, id pick sungjong too :)

[SurrealEmotions]

I disagree with you guys about Bang & Zelo. Their song is about not giving up in school and doing your best to follow your dreams. That's what I get from it. Also, their song gets more addictive after you listen to it more than once. This type of music is rarely seen in the kpop world! I love their concept, they bring new flavour into the Korean music industry.

there's nothing wrong with being sexy. K-pop isn't about being cute, it's about producing something that attracts an audience and satisfies the audience. It's also not about slating every female artist that does anything even near 'provocative' whilst supporting and salivating over a male artist doing the exact same thing. That's just total hypocrisy and it's not in anyway fair.

And you two should watch 4minutes off-shot vids

Hyuna is very professional when the cameras roll but shes tends to goof off alot in behind the scenes but then go back to be serious/sexy. Like in troublemaker behind the scenes she goofed off alot and I dont think any of 4minute girls r jelious because they went to support her and so did b2st. Hyuna even made SoHyun give her a kiss even tho she didn't want to lol XD

[lalala24682468]

I think the thingy with Hyuna is CUBEs fault because Im a big HyunA fan and Hyuna is known for being sexy on stage but cute off stage. And cube probably did the same thing they did with Hyunas bubble pop because I saw the behind the scenes for it and they're was an actual storyline and extra shots that weren't shown in the mv and they only put in 'those' scenes

You two should really watch it

I saw the behind the scenes for troublemaker too but cube deleted it :-/
