Nu'est a New Style

This next group...all I have to say is wow! Nu'est, New Established Style and Tempo (k-pop enjoys acronyms), they are about visual effects in their style. I think it's appropriate to mention Ren is the resident androgynous member of the group. Seriously, when people say he looks like a girl they aren't kidding. I've been into k-pop and j-rock for a long time (since jr. high to all you people who have just gotten into k-pop now because of gangnam style) and always I've been able to tell the difference between men and women despite there style of dress and makeup. Ren, though, if it wasn't for certain camera angles and his muscles in his arm I would seriously want to brand him as a woman. Anyways, for the others they are very visual and flamboyant in their style.



As for their music. In both singles they love dub step. I think they want to be known for incorporating dub step in their bridge and it makes for good dance showcases but in their second single Action I thought it was a little unnecessary and didn't work as well as the first single Face. I do enjoy their ballads especially Sandy and Not Over You. It brings a nice contrast to their A side singles. One thing I found interesting about them is that they are another artist that talk about serious topics plaguing South Korea. The first single they talked about school bullying. People might think oh it's South Korea since when do they have bullying? Aren't they all studying and trying to get the best grades? Recently, discipline has been somewhat relax and there has been an uproar of school violence but hey it proves despite where people might live we can have all similar problems. I thought it was nice of them to take that issue into their music. Action, that was my favorite of all because it talked about not always assimilating into mainstream society, to take your own path in life. Many people struggle with that but I think particularly Asians deal with it more. I know I did...Ah right so the members are Ren, JR, Aron, Minhyun and Baekho. One thing I've noticed about them people have been talking about, although they are rookies that debut this year, they didn't make much of an impact as the other ones that did (hey if they are mentioned a lot in the news and people actually remember them doesn't that mean they did? Plus not everyone can copy the intensity of B.A.P otherwise we'd have copyright problems.) Pledis entertainment now who else comes from there...After School! Yes, now a little note Minhyun was featured in Orange Carmel's video Shanghai Romance.



As always these are my own opinions please respect them. They have a facebook page also. Check them out.


Oh I forgot to say in my last post B.A.P are part of TS entertainment who also manages SECRET.

How should I describe myself? Should I go into a long rant about me and what I like? Or is a list easier for your eyes? I think a small paragraph should do.

Music is my passion with modern Asian music, such as k-pop, j-pop and j-rock etc., writing is my joy and photography is my growing love. Food is the best way to socialize and fashion is my way to know that I put my shirt on correctly.
