More Pop?

So, after reading a response from my "Ladies of K-Pop" post, I saw that maybe some people want to hear more examples that are "unique" to K-Pop. This will be more of the bubblegum pop, playful K-Pop that many people identify the genre with. To some people, this might be an enjoyable experience. But, to some others this might be a horrible experience. It all depends on the listener's taste! I will try my best to show you guys some of the best, unique examples that stick out in my mind.

4Minute - "Heart to Heart"

Cube Entertainment's 4Minute caught everyone's attention and made people laugh with this video. This upbeat number EASILY got stuck in my head when it first came out back in early 2011. The cute plot line matches the lyrics of the song, which sometimes doesn't happen in K-Pop video. Anyone can sing along with the phrase "Let's have a heart to heart to heart" in the chorus because it's super catchy. Try singing along too!

B2ST/Beast - "Beautiful"

Another group from Cube, B2ST (also pronounced/stylized as "Beast"), brought out this song in late 2010. I apologize for the long intro in the video, but it has a great story line to it! They continued the story in another music video called "I Like You the Best", if anyone wants to continue on with it. B2ST happens to be my favorite K-Pop group and one of my favorite bands overall. This dance number will have you out of your seat and moving! This song is just as energetic when performed live, which I got to see in person. So, check it out!

Girl's Day - "Twinkle Twinkle"

I wanted to save one of the best for last. When it comes to K-Pop, this playfulness tends to be its signature style. Girl's Day's "Twinkle Twinkle" and SNSD's "Gee" portray this perfectly. The addictive beats and dance moves add to it. It gets to the point where it's so cute it hurts. Girl's Day and many other girl group tend to play off this cute image better than the guy groups, but I've seen it done. Try dancing along to "Twinkle Twinkle" and show off your moves!

Let me know what you guys think of these few videos! Were they what you were looking for? Do you want to see more of this style of K-Pop?
