Good K-Pop?
 

I'm looking to expand my K-Pop, and need a bit of help! So far, I have albums by~

Ivy
Lexy
Lee Hyori
BoA
Rain
Se7en

Any other good people? Peferably female, and R&B, but if they're pop, then I don't mind. No males though. :D

You should try WOnder girls they're pretty good, btw where did you find music for Ivy, I've been looking everywhere for some music by her...

lol Fanny :laugh

I don't know much about K-Pop & sadly I only heard of a few acts .

I heard K is supposed to be good & also Shinhwa which's Korean's most famous boyband I guess since they have been together for a decade long

you maybe want to try John Hoon also ?

^ Is SDB a girl?

@ayuayu - I got Vol.1,2 and 3 at bww2 =D

So~
Wonder Girls
Girls' Generation

;)

ooh, she's great!! do you have her vol's for me? :eyes

If you don't know J by now, then check her out. She's a female singer, who also has R&B-type songs. So she should be just right for you. ^^

^ aww awesome! :D

does anyone know a GREAT k-pop resource, btw? bww2 is not satisfying me -.-"""

oh, never mind. ¬_¬

i did find her first single though <3

thanks luv <3

i found j's albums, vol1,2,2.5,3,4,5,5.5 and 6. is that all of them? i don't have any good databases on k-pop information -.-"

i'm also downloading wonder girls vol.1, there only album so far?

currently on the lookout for girls' generation. what style are they? they're not like... morning musume or berryz koubou are they? *shudder*

oh, well that's okay. as long as they aren't lame and cheesy :P

Why no males? Korean music right now has a lot more great male artists than female. Still, here are three of the most popular female acts in Korea right now, along with some recommended tracks by each.


소녀시대 Sonyô Shidae (Girl's Generation) is pretty well-known now, too. Think Morning Musume, but with serious, Korean talent. They're basically the female answer to Super Junior. Their sound is very girly, cutesy, bubblegum dance-pop.

Recommended: 소녀시대 (Girls' Generation); Kissing you; Merry-go-round; Honey (소원); 다시 만난 세계 (Into the new world)


Wonder Girls are very, very popular right now. 5 cheeky girls, much edgier than Sonyô Shidae. They're produced by JYP who basically made Rain who he is. Their style is very R&B and urban dance, sometimes a little bit 80's synth-poppy.

Recommended: 이바보; Tell Me; Good Bye; Bad Boy; Irony


天上智喜 The Grace Ch'ôn Sang Ji Hûi The Grace (TSZX The Grace) is fantastic. It's made up of four girls with powerhouse voices who each did their own thing before being put together. Their vocals blow everyone else out of the water. Their sound is generally R&B- or soul-influenced pop, reminiscent of BoA's Korean work.

Recommended: 한번 더, OK? ― One More Time, OK?; 女友 (그녀들의 수다) ― Girl Talk; RENEW (사랑할 땐, 좋아할 땐); 4월의 첫날 ― April Fools' Day; 열정 My Everything; Catch the shooting star; The Club (Feat. 비); Boomerang; Dancer In The Rain; 아니기를 ― Not To Be

^ I'm not really into males that much. Male voices in general put me off. I don't know why, I'm just not really into how they sound =/

But thanks for The Grace, I heard about them when they made their Japanese stuff, but never checked out their Korean stuff :P

Have you listened to Gummy yet?

^ Nope. Is she good? :)

^ Yes. I downloaded her new album on a whim, and I'm really enjoying it.

Well, she's under YG, so I'd say her music is R&B-ish.

I found 3 albums by Gummy. milky, do you know how many albums she has? Is that right, 3? Just so I know I'm getting the right ones ;)

She has 4 albums and an Unplugged album.

Albums:

For the Bloom
It's Different
Like Them
Comfort - newest one

CLAZZIQUAI PROJECT.

they're awesome. :O

Lee Jung Hyun is pure amazingness and is what all K-Pop should strive to be. I can't recommend her enough.

I also really like Son Dam Bi and Baek Ji Young, so check them out (they're all girls by the way, I hate guy singers too).

^Yes, finally somebody recommended her in this thread! You should really try her out. Her older stuff is the bomb.

I also love Uhm Jung Hwa. her stuff is harder to find but she's often called the Madonna of Korea.

^ thanks guys! i found all their albums at bww2, and i will download them tomorrow, as i passed my download limit on megaupload for today -.-"

Lee Jung Hung is like. . . words cannot describe how much I love her music, seriously.
She's unbelievably amazing.

Seo In Young. She's the hotness
check out kpop uploads at lj
http://community.livejournal.com/kpop_uploads
they have TONS of stuff and you can request stuff too.

^ noooooooo i don't have a livejournal! do i have to register there to get the links? they have SE7EN IN 320!! >_>

Wonder Girls was definitely a good choice!

Girls' Generation is my favorite K-Pop band. Don't worry. They have some cute songs, but they mostly sing pop and ballads. And even if some are younger than some MM members, they have incredible vocals. I uploaded their whole discography here:
http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68435

And under my sig!

If you want really good hip-hop: Epik High (though it's male)
If you want really good rock/pop: Nell (though it's male too) I also uploaded one of their albums in AHS.

I really like the band Rumble Fish too. It's pop/rock.

Other female pop/r&b band:
- The Grace
- KARA
- Baby V.O.X
- Jewelery

And great pop singers/vocalist:
- Younha (nobody mentioned her? one of the best in k-pop IMO)
- JOO

lol yeah but it's totally worth it

HELL YES.

Uhm Jung Hwa is the Queen of K-pop :luv2

I love Lee Jung Hyun and Uhm Jung Hwa! <3. I definitely recommend them.

EPIK HIGH!!! theyre kool :)

I really like clazziquai project
they are band but the vocalist is a woman

I also like BABY V.O.X

Tohoshinkis Korean stuff is also awesome look up Rising sun, but i still like them better when they sing in pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~

MOAR UHM JUNG HWA LOVE. >O

Although I have to admit I just recently found some more of her albums and they were kinda... bwah. Her ballads can be so bland, but her upeat stuff is amazing. Prestige is probably the best album to start off with, esp. if you like disco influenced music. XD

I hate u fanny for not wanting to hear K-pop males. :laugh

Erm....you can try out Loveholic. Although I've heard Jisun only, I think they are great. I plan on trying out their music later.

looking for female rnb? I suggest Big Mama! excellent vocals.. I have all albums so let me know if you need them! :)

here's a video to watch!

I agree with Riozz. Try out Clazziquai Project! they are excellent also. there's not only a female singer, but also a male. sometimes they do duets, and other times they sing their own songs..

here's a video to watch!

I agree...I hate her slower songs @_@. The only one I really like is one I found on her first greatest hits album, I don't know the proper name for it but it sort of has a reggae feel to it? In the chorus it says "I'll remember you, you are always on my mind" something like that..
Sorry for the ****** description :X!

I also forgot to add Lexy <3

^ i have lexy albums, she's hot!! +D

i need to make a list from this thread to see who i got stuff by and who i didn't lool ;)

JANG NARA!

omg i love her!

Wow noone mentioned Clazziquai Project...blasphemy.

Anyway try Clazziquai Project.

^ I believe someone did actually!

KARA = :heart

Uhm Jung Hwa

I took some of your recommendations and tried her out and i really like her :mini!

Like other people said, Lee Jung Hyun's older stuff is just pure ****ing awesomness!

I'm addicted to her music!

I would recommend Mina, Jewelry, Moon Ji Eun, Nan-A, Bae Seul Ki, Baby VOX Re.V, Enjel, Seo In Young, Eugene, Jace, and Storm.

Park Hi-young and her song Na-Bi (Butterfly). It's soooooooooooooooooooooooooo great! Lol.. eniweiz, i am searching for a Kpop song for almost 3 years now. It's english tittle is "LETTERS" by park hi-kyou (or hee-kyou). but i can't find it anywere..

I know a couple of K-boy bands, There's Big Bang and Tohoshinki/TVXQ/DBSK - same thing -_-. But I personally love 'One' and 'Fan' by Epik High.

Mh... you should listen to:
Younha (She's great!)
Ji Eun (Her voice take you to heaven!)

All the other Kpop female singer that I know have been already written! XD
I know that you don't like male singers but you should try Tae Yang (I LOVE HIM!) and DBSK..!^^

thanks for these guys ~

Ayappe - Kaori forced me to download Taeyang's mini album thing ;)

Jang Ri In! why nobody has mentioned her yet omg she's so great and awesome.


I Will (the video is chinese, but the audio is korean)


Lovers (same, the video is chinese, but the audio is korean)
