U-Kiss ♥ New Gen First Thread

Satsuki · #1 30th January 2010, 08:21 AM

U-Kiss (Ubiquitous Korean International Super Star) debuted in 2008 with their song 아리지 않아 (Not Young). Before debut, they garnered a lot of attention due to two of the six members, Kibum and Kevin, being ex-members of boyband, Xing. Early in 2009, they released their second mini-album titled, Bring it Back 2 Old School, with title song 니가좋아 (I Like You). Near the end of 2009, they made another comeback with new member, Lee Kiseop, who was previously seen in their MV for 아리지 않아 (Not Young). Their comeback album was titled ContiUkiss, and their title track, 만만하니, or Am I That Easy?, was a huge success. Now, in the new year, they are about to release their first album, which will include remixes of their previously released songs, as well as five new songs including Without You, a song that has been released digitally as a single. Filming for their MV ended on the 30th of this month (January), 28 hours after their initial starting time at 6:00AM on the 29th. The title track is presumably 빙글빙글. The album will have a physical release on the 3rd of February.

Their fanclub name is officially Kiss Me.

^ Their album isn't out until next week!

I love them too. Actually I'm currently obsessed with them, as you can probably see from my ava + sig.

I thought I was like the only person on AHS who even liked them though! ;__; Omg, I never knew there were others.

I am totally obsessed with Xander and going to marry him someday. <33333333

But Xander, Eli, Kiseop, and even Kevin surprisingly look so hotttttt. <333 I can't wait to finally see Eli's chest? That sounds so weird.

Satsuki · #8 31st January 2010, 10:47 PM

^XDD What she said.

Hehehe. I'm so amused by how everything is spinning in the MV for the song 빙글빙글.
I can't wait until the whole MV is out! Even though I kind of still don't want to listen to the song... I will. (: And I'm thinking about watching their comeback stage on the 5th also. XD It's sooo exciting! I can't believe that this is all happening tihs week!

hearted · #9 2nd February 2010, 07:19 PM

OH.MA.GAAAHH!!!!! ALBUM LEADED ALREADY!!!

HERE: http://kaboomza.blogspot.com/2010/02...one-album.html

im downloading it now jwtlowejriope

Tom Punks · #10 2nd February 2010, 07:32 PM

LOL I was trying so hard not to listen till my CD arrived, but I'm listening to it right now anyways. XD

So far... both the remixes I listened to were SO weird/bad. O.K. sounds like it got turned into an electro-rodeo song.

Bingle Bingle is okay. It needs to grow on me. XD It's not as good as man man ha ni though. Now I need to listen to the rest of the album before I can say more! <3

Satsuki · #11 2nd February 2010, 08:10 PM

LOL. The first thing that I saw on twitter when I checked it before I decided to take a nap was that the album was out, so I'm listening to them uploaded on youtube rather than downloading them, for now..

I only listened to Binggeul Binggeul though because... I'm going to end up watching the MV anyway, so might as well listen to the song.

Actually, I didn't pay attention to it much since Tom Punks called in the middle... XDD And all I want to do right now is sleep. ): But it sounded fine to me. It definitely sounds like a Brave Brother song though. I can't wait to watch the MV. Or maybe I can.

ACTUALLY, what I really can't wait for is to listen to Eli on the radio and see what he has to say about this album. :3

Tom Punks · #12 2nd February 2010, 08:12 PM

Okay... My thoughts on the whole album.

First of all, they went WAY overboard with the synths. Seriously, my ears are bleeding after all of the grating synths in this album. It was just way too much.

The opening was... whatever. I don't care about it. XD It doesn't make me lol like On Fire did but whatever.

Bingle Bingle is okay. It will definitely grow on me. I can't wait for the MV though, it's gonna be so hot.

Without You... I'll be honest, I've listened to that song 60 times since it came out and I still can't really remember how it goes. It's nice but it's too much like an I Don't Care/Jiggy/Finally baby.

Track 4... what is that called? That was pretty interesting. It sounded like... I dunno... some old song or something. During the rap part though, I SWEAR I heard someone I'd never heard before, but it might have just been Eli. But I'm hoping I heard Kiseop in there somewhere. I REALLY wanna get to hear his voice someday. ;____;

Bang Bang Bang was hot. XD I liked the rapping in that one too. It's probably my favorite so far.

DANCING FLOOR... I don't remember now what it sounded like but I remember thinking something about how repetitive the chorus was? And something about... how it would probably grow on me too... But it sounded JUST like the four songs before it.

Man man ha ni (Remix) = WAY TO RUIN THE MOST AWESOME SONG THAT HAS EVER EXISTED. SERIOUSLY. Man man ha ni was such a badass hardcore awesome amazing song with so much tension or something and that just killed it.

O.K. (Remix), I already commented on this one. It reminds me of an electro-rodeo song. Congrats to U-Kiss for their new genre invention.

OKAY, NOW THE I LIKE YOU REMIX, WTF WAS THAT. SERIOUSLY. WAY TO KILL MY 2ND FAVORITE U-Kiss song. THAT WAS PURE CRAP. IT WASN'T EVEN THE SONG. IT WAS LIKE TWO LINES OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR THREE MINUTES WITH A REALLY ANNOYING INSTRUMENTAL. I'm glad I already own that single. -_-

Talk To Me (Remix) was the best remix. I think I might even like it more than the original song.

Not Young (Remix)... Yeah, way to kill the cute & cheesy uniqueness of that song by turning it into totally generic k-pop.

Oh, finally to the last song. The remix for Give It To Me actually makes me like the song a little more than I did before. It's one of the least disgusting remixes on the album.

Overall, the album is really one-note and too much of the same sound all the way through. It would have been nice if they put the original versions of the single songs on the album because most of the remixes are just horrible. (Seriously, niga joha, RIP!) I also feel like these remixes totally detracted from what made me love U-Kiss in the first place. They didn't sound like everyone else on the k-pop scene. They were just making their cheesy little 90's styled songs that I fell in love with because they made me lol a lot at first. But I guess they're never going back to that sound, so I should just get over it and accept their new music since I'll love them anyways. XD I just hope that their future releases don't all sound like the same song all the way through again.

At this point, everything needs to take time to sink in and grow on me. I'm sure I'll be repeating the crap out of these songs soon.

Oh yeah, one last note... Kevin, please gtfo of every second of every song. I love you but there's just too much of you. Learn to share.

Same goes for Soohyun.

Tom Punks · #13 5th February 2010, 07:14 AM

HOLY AJDKGJASDKLJGAKLSDJGAKLSDJGAKLSDJGIWEJGIASEJGKLSJD G. THE MV FOR BINGEUL BINGEUL CAME OUT. IT'S THE HOTTEST THING EVER. SERIOUSLY. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF MAN MAN HA NI CAN COMPARE.

I can't wait till it leaks in HQ...... ;__________________________; Kevin's parts are SO awesome.

Satsuki · #14 5th February 2010, 07:18 AM

I knowwwwww I'm not even that disappointed that the 2nd version of the MV lacks in toplessness, because the whole intensity of the MV makes up for everything!

U-Kiss is doing so well in 2010... it's really going to be their year, for reals!

I just wish I could stay up for their comeback stage tonight, but of course... it's going to be at such an inconvenient time! I can't wait to see how they look on stage performing this though!

Tom Punks · #15 5th February 2010, 07:22 AM

OH MY GOD THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK AMAZING. I can't wait. I HOPE WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING... (or rather at like 8 PM tomorrow) that everything is all leaked in HQ or HD for me.

I love the trippy MVeeeeeeeee. KEVIN! His parts were so cool.

And Xander! Even though you only were there for 5 seconds... You were so amazing. <3

Satsuki · #16 5th February 2010, 07:27 AM

XDDD And Eli! And Kiseop! And everyone else!!

I cannot stress how much I love the part where like... they're standing in a circle and doing that shoulder thing and Eli looks... something. XD
I don't know.

THIS MV IS JUST SO JJANG!
I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT SPAZZ ON TWITER!

Satsuki · #17 8th February 2010, 05:56 PM

Sigh. Although it's double posting, and I have no clue if that's ~illegal~ or not on this forum...

There's a new U-Kiss forum that has just recently opened up.

http://7kisses.ipbfree.com/ http://7kisses.ipbfree.com/ http://7kisses.ipbfree.com/

We're currently getting ready for a small project to celebrate Soohyun and Eli's upcoming birthdays on March 11 and March 13 respectively! So if you're a fan of U-Kiss and interested, consider joining!

Tom Punks · #18 8th February 2010, 10:23 PM

^ Well maybe you should read the rules then.

I thought there was already a big U-Kiss forum?
