SNSD continue to shoot down the competition with their infectious new song, Hoot. Inkigayo has always been my favourite music show – I tend to think of it as the most prestigious as well so whenever an act wins an Inkigayo Mutizen I’m like whoa! Congratulations! Check out SNSD’s winning performance:

K-pop Workout Playlist!
14 JulSo, I’ve not actually started my new exercise regime just yet but it’s definitely in the pipeline. I was meant to start last week but I caught a virus and was at home resting for two days. It was not pretty. Since then, I’ve not really had the time to start but I did wear my new trainers for the first time on Saturday – they gave me a blister! I was not impressed! These teething problems are to be expected though.
I’m approaching this exercise stuff from an easy going point of view – I want to do it for fun, not as a complete lifestyle change. I like carbs far too much to give them up (especially cake, I can’t imagine a life without cake; sometimes I’ll just have cake for dinner). Part of my relaxed approach is to have a fun workout playlist to listen to. I spent some time the other day creating what I think will be the perfect playlist – and it’s all K-pop songs! Hurrah!
K-pop Workout Playlist:
1. SNSD – Run Devil Run*
2. T-ara – I Go Crazy Because of You
3. Park Bom – You and I
4. Chae Yeon – Shake
5. SNSD – Girls’ Generation
6. T-ara – Bo Peep Bo Peep
7. Wonder Girls – 2 Different Tears (Korean Version)
8. Sandara – Kiss
9. SNSD – Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)
10. IVY – Touch Me
11. T-ara & Supernova – TTL Listen 2
12. SNSD – Gee
* = power song
I think it’s a pretty good playlist for working out. It’s got a lot of fast paced songs with lots of thumping, hard beats to really encourage you to push that bit further! A couple of songs are a bit slower, but they have really strong choruses. Like Park Bom’s You & I is a slower, mid-tempo ballad but all the emotion is going to spurn me on! The power song, SNSD’s Run Devil Run, is the song I’m going to listen to to give me a bit of a boost! At the moment it’s first to place but we’ll see how it goes.
Hopefully I’ll get to go on a run soon and this playlist will help me concentrate and focus. Jia you!

Update:
I know I’ve not actually posted this post yet but I have gone on a run! I’ve gone on two with varying degrees of success. I’m not try to run too hard and stress myself out or injure myself so when I run I take a lot of breaks and walk a lot too. The first one I ran with my friend who runs often and is very health conscious and he gave me lots of tips. The second run was hampered by my agonising hay fever which meant I couldn’t breathe properly and everyone knows breathing properly is crucial when doing exercise. However, the playlist worked really well! I did have to chuckle to myself though – Run Devil Run whilst running? The irony is not lost on me. I’ve not yet had a chance to run again but I might try to go tonight! Jia you! Cheer me on ;_; It’s far too much hardwork!
SNSD – Girls’ Generation 2010 Remix!
30 AprSNSD were, for a long time, my greatest K-pop love. When the world was going Wonder Girls crazy, I always loved SNSD – particularly for their song Girls’ Generation. A cover of Lee Seung-chul’s original, the 2007 hit catapulted the girls to fame in Korea. For some reason, the West fell in love with the Wonder Girls and not SNSD (despite SNSD achieving greater sales than the Wonder Girls). I guess it was the super catchy Tell Me dance phenomena.
SNSD’s version has been remixed for a new Lee Seung-chul best of remix album and… I quite like it! I think the reason why I fell in love with SNSD was because Girls’ Generation had such a strong 80s sound (being a cover of an 80s song and all). I love 80s music – I love it more than modern pop music so I really loved Girls’ Generation. This remix is great because it stays true to the original sound whilst also making it sound contemporary. Check out the song below~
SNSD – Run Devil Run MV
17 MarAfter teasing their fans with the previews of Run Devil Run, the SNSD girls have just released the mv! I love the mv, it’s so slick and the all look amazing. These girls are definitely at the top of the pack at the moment, even though I fly the flag for T-ara. A lot of girl groups are coming back strong (T-ara, Kara, After School, f(x)) but SNSD stand head and shoulders above them all. Check out their music video:
SNSD – Run Devil Run Released!
17 MarSM’s darlings, SNSD, have released the audio for the new song, Run Devil Run. No doubt this will be a mega hit!
SNSD – Oh! @ Inkigayo
9 FebApologies for my absent postings as of late, with my new job, I’m always so busy ^_^ but I do miss blogging and the k-pop scene. Gotta keep up with it!
I’ve been listening to a bit of SNSD’s new album, and I quite like the single, Oh! Still can’t get over how similar it sounds to Rihanna though, but that’s old news. Check out their performance of Oh! on Inkigayo recently!
SNSD – Oh! MV
1 FebThe girls released the full MV for their new single, Oh! I quite like it. It’s not my favourite SNSD song by far (Gee still remains one of my favourite songs), but I quite like it. I’ve not listened too much to the whole new album but it seems pretty cool so far. It’s less… SM Entertainment sounding though. They’ve definitely changed their music style – that’s a good thing cause it means they’ve grown as artists, but at the same time, I miss the gee gee gee playfulness.
SNSD – Oh! MV Teaser / Full Song
25 JanSorry for not posting much this last week, I’ve been very busy ^_^ Thank you for your continued appreciation and hits though ^_^
To mark my return from a short hiatus, let’s kick things off with SNSD! Oh em gee O_o! They’re back with a new song~ and album, but that hasn’t been released yet. It’s really catchy! It’s going to be number 1 mutizen for ages! Weeks! The girls can do no wrong it seems. Or can they?! There’s definitely more than a passing resembalence to Rihanna’s Shut Up and Drive. It’s like the same chorus! *sigh* K-pop producers do it again huh? Check out the full audio and a MV teaser below~
