NINE MUSES of star empire Review

★★★☆☆

Recently I watched the 2012 documentary focusing on Nine Muses' road to debut.

I have to give it three stars because although it is a good source of information

on both the Kpop industry and the group it covers, the documentary overall

does a poor job of keeping attention and explaining what is going on.

Somehow, even though there is music in half the film, there is very little useful sound.

Most of the documentary focuses on dance practices and the girls sitting around talking,

there isn't too much said about the amount of work they are doing or how far along they are.

There is a lot of time confusion as to where the group is at, including during their first

line up change.

Unfortunately, the group dynamics shown in the film were not to last. As of today there are

only three of the original members remaining, four if you include Hyuna

who joined during the film. However, I would recommend this documentary to any

 MINE (Nine Muses official fan club) members and anyone looking to learn more about the

Kpop industry.

MAMAMOO - You're The Best

Mamamoo is back with a vengeance.

Hours ago Mamamoo released "You're The Best," a fun and upbeat song

done in their classic retro style. Listening to the song it seems as

though the girls gave an "Um Oh Ah Yeh" style facelift to their debut song;

"Mr. Ambiguous." Later in the video itself, the group makes a direct reference

to the 2014 release with the signature finger stash and a drop of the associated phrase.

I would love to hear how you feel about the new video in the comments section,

so as usual, check out the video below.

Cosmic Girls Debut - Part 1

Starship Entertainments new rookie group Cosmic Girls just released the

music video for Mo mo mo, the first part of their 2 part debut.

Cosmic Girls is a 12 member Chinese/Korean girl group 

with each member representing a different sign in the western zodiac.

Members consist of:

SeolA - Age 21, Sagittarius

Xuan Yi - Age 21, Aquarius

Soobin - Age 19, Virgo

EXY - Age 20, Scorpio

Bona - Age 19, Leo

Luda - Age 18, Pisces

Dawon - Age 18, Aries

Mei Qi - Age 17, Libra

Eunseo - Age 17, Gemini

Cheng Xiao - Age 17, Cancer

Yeoreum - Age 17, Capricorn 

Dayoung - Age 16, Taurus

As for "Mo mo mo" the song is bright and cheery, and the video is a

fun lively representation of the girls on an alien planet

possibly falling in love with an astronaut. But this won't be confirmed

for those of us who don't speak Korean until the subtitles are released. Until

then, check out the new video below.

Ladies' Code Comeback

It has finally happened.

After almost 2 years, following the tragic deaths of members EunBi and RiSe,

Ladies' Code's remaining members Ashley, SoJung, and Zuny, have

finally made their long awaited comeback. In their new video, "Galaxy," it

is safe to say they did both EunBi and RiSe proud.

Both the song and video appear to allude to their fallen stars,
and both have a rather slow and somber tone.
The whole video has a peaceful, semi-retro atmosphere and

alternates between a muted color scheme and black and white.

I feel as though this could be the start of a new beginning for 

these strong girls who have already been through far too much.

I hope you will support them through their return and check out their

new album "Myst3ry" as well as the "Galaxy" video below.

Reboot

I am finally reviving this blog!

I have modified a few things and removed any posts not related to music, 

movies, or dramas. this blog will now focus solely on those and related topics.

I will be trying to keep up to date with new music video releases and expect one drama

or movie review every month or so. Also, if I hear any Korean celebrity news I find worth I will

be posting that here as well. Best wishes to you all.
