Korean Pop Recommendations

[koumori]

Okay, I feel I've listened to enough recommendations now to get back to most people Thanks again guys! For all of the recommendations I literally just listened to their latest releases (I'll try and get their older stuff another time) so I apologise if it isn't the era you had in mind when you recommended them. Also I didn't get time to listen to every single artist..but I will in the future, and I'm still grateful for all the time people took out to list their favourites.

@tokyoxjapanxfan: Thanks for the boy band recommendations, since I usually steer away from male asian vocals..I don't know why, I just usually stay around female singers. So it was a refreshing change right from the word go. CNBLUE had really good vocals and I liked their latest mini album a lot. I found the chorus' sticking really easily. As for trying Big Bang, their JPS page was so confusing when it came to releases..in the end I got STILL ALIVE (Special Edition) so I hope that was a good decision. I got a real 'produced' feel to BIG BANG which I guess I expected. Catchy songs and I can see why they're popular, but I think CNBLUE is more my thing. I'll check out their other stuff though and see what else they have to offer

@LONJJONG: I checked out SNSD properly and I do love most of their discography~ Admittedly I'm more partial to their latest stuff, but their old stuff is nice to listen to as well. I listened to T-ara's album MIRAGE, which was definitely really interesting..their vocal style reminds me a lot of 2NE1. MIRAGE is a good album and I'm planning on checking out their other stuff when I can. G.Na has a voice I don't go out of my way to listen to often. I downloaded her Bloom EP and it was a sweet listen. I'll also give her another chance in the future.

@freedreamer: So many recommendations! Thanks for taking so much time to help me out! Sorry that I haven't listened to them all by now, but I will keep referring to your list in the next few months until I do I checked out After School and they were pretty awesome. I'd listened to a few of their songs before (I realised after I made this thread ) but listening to their full albums was very different and I'll be looking forward to more songs by them. Ailee has a super powerful voice compared to the other K-artists I'd checked out and it was a nice change. I downloaded her Invitation EP to listen to and I liked most of the songs on it, but I guess she got a bit repetitive by the end. f(x) reminded me of a mix of 2NE1 and SNSD, and they were really fun to listen to. I'm getting more of their stuff in the Valentines freeleech for sure Brown Eyed Girls were a lot more catchy and dramatic (I got their SIXTH SENSE album). I love their vocals and image! I'd never heard of them before so it was nice to listen to something completely new.

@Becky: I got Hello Venus' latest album and they were really fun to listen to! I'll be getting more of their stuff. It was only a mini-album I got I think, so I need another album or two to really judge them properly. But I finally understand why I've heard so much about them

@PoetGirl: I checked out ORANGE CARAMEL as I knew they were a sub-unit of After School and I love their music I downloaded the Lipstick album and I wasn't disappointed. Nice electo-pop mix and their vocals were great. I'll definitely be listening to them again. SISTAR were great too! I'll check out the other recommendations soon, so thanks for all the different ones. I won't be bored music-wise for a while.

@pommy48: I got Epik High's latest album and they're okay I guess? They're definitely full of energy and their music is catchy, which means I'll keep them in my library. But I didn't really felt I 'connected', idk. I'll give them another try when I'm feeling bored with my other music. Maybe their older stuff is a bit different?

Mr. Goto: T-ara and KARA are great, so thanks a lot I'll definitely check out the rest of your recommendations soon!

@XFER: I looked at some of Super Junior's stuff on JPS, and it was different to what I usually go for. I'm not sure if I'll get their albums, but I'll keep them another try in the future, since I did love their song Mr. Simple. Thanks for taking the time to recommend!

@emi♡: Yay for SNSD

@sesshy: I'll check them out soon! Thanks for recommending something to me

Piccolo:

@CHE.R.RY: Miss A were so awesome! I think I've listened to the first song before, but this got me to finally get some of their discography. I'll check out D-unit properly soon, the video you linked was great!

@Andrenekoi: That'll be the next album I listen to in full then~ Off I go to get it. I hope I enjoy the album.

@microphone: I'm not a huge ballad fan, although I do have a few exceptions so I did check her out. Lee Soo Young has a really 'easy listening' voice and I enjoyed the albums you recommended a lot. I'll be checking out her latest stuff and some of her music videos.

I'm glad you liked Hello Venus, Koumori! They're such a cute, up and coming group.

Maybe keep an eye out for Lee Hi, she will release her debut album next month. She can actually sing and her music style is nice and somewhat refreshing.

Her debut single

Nine muses is my actual obsession, they are models, they're pretty and tall. Their music is a bit retro, but catchy !!!
