| JYJ the Beggining is sweeping the world ! |

JYJ, Jaejoong Younchoon, Junsu, my lovely boys from formal DBSK...(too sad to go into this topic)
Has released their first trio global album called the "Beginning". 
All songs are in English, my fav is Be The One, its been on repeat for hours on when it was released. 
(Okay its still is)
Very much loving their comeback to the music industry. 
We all know JYJ has been having major legal issues with SM and Avex, but putting that aside we got this new album released for us!
The trio is currently having concerts in various Asian countries with tickets SOLD OUT, as expected. 
They ARE coming to US....now the question is how the heck can you get lucky and get a ticket? 
HA! That's a good one! 
Their tickets are known to be sold out in full within ten-fifteen minutes of release, with major shutdowns of ticketing site due to overload...
Not to mention people going bazookas and planning airline tickets and hotel to travel all the way to concert cities. (They are nuts) 
So, good luck to you guys if you're even hoped to get one precious ticket. 
I suggest to youtube them, already HK concert is up on YouTube, pretty good stuff there =]
There's a newly added concert spot in US which is HAWAII!!! 
Take a vacation and see JYJ? A dream come true, you can die happy =]
Anyway, JYJ, you boys are making me proud, finally what I've been trying to tell the kpop industry has finally happened: Enter US. 
Great job for being first! 힘내!!

| 2NE1 |

The girls of 2NE1 has taken over kpop world this month. (and last!)
Their hip songs, catchy beats and aggressive dancing seizes the audience. 
2NE1 was constantly releasing new MVs for several songs from their 2nd album.
It got to the point where TV programs had to put restrictions on how many songs they were allowed to perform during that one program. (So other performers wouldn't be overshadowed)
Silly, but true, they had too many songs to promote all at one time. 
I believe it's a great tactic.
Capture the audience with variety of songs and dances instead of just one lead song from the album.
I loved it, I love the variety 2NE1 provides to us. 
Actually, the girls are very bold and feisty, in-your-face in the MVs. 
A bit raw-macho like, which is very different from the rest girl idol groups such as SNSD
I say YG Entertainment got some of the best recognized artists in the kpop and if I had to choose which agency to apply to I'd say go for YG
2NE1 is surprisingly a fairly new group in kpop, they debuted in spring of 2009; they are already as huge as Wonder Girls and Big Bang.
I can see the girls of 2NE1 revolutionize music industry, if they continue at this rate they might even beat the kings and queens of kpop such as DBSK, Big Bang and Wonder Girls

Support all the way~

| October BATTLE rising heat! |



Well what would you think if someone would inform you that SHINee, U-Kiss, 2PM, BoA, BEAST, JYJ, 2NE1 and several others including brand new rock band group LED APPLE would be out and about all in close proximity over lapping each other in their releases and promotions at the same time? I don't know about you, but my face expression was exactly like this ---->  O____O ! 
I say bring it on baby! Hells yessss!!!

That is what's happening right now, all the biggest idols of all Korea ARE releasing and promoting.
They are not letting the fans take a breather, which I dont mind, they want to keep our attention as close as possible. 
Now, is that smart to do looking from competition POV...well...kinda not really.
LED APPLE I think is crazy for having a release date when idols like 2PM & BEAST are also releasing their long awaited comeback albums.
The new babes of LED APPLE claim to be a rock band not an idols group...so they are technically going to compete with FT ISLAND and CN BLUE....good luck really, both Lee Hong Ki and Jung Yong Hwa are now out promoting their new releases and are doing very well.
This is a very hot hot hot month for idols groups, just look up music bank and all your favs will be there at the same time. 

Loving the comebacks and the best of luck to new babes~~ fighting!
