Summer Singles 2012

Music and summer are two of my most favorite things, and where I live I'm certainly getting enough summertime heat to make me happy. Luckily, a lot of my favorite Korean pop artists have been releasing their summer singles, and all of them are so great! The first one I found that's new is "Like This", by the Wonder Girls.

The concept for this video is so cool. The five members of the group: Yubin, Yeeun, Sunye, Sohee, Hyelim, are wandering around an outdoor mall. The music starts, and the start dancing, getting everyone involved in doing the dance with them. It makes me want to learn the dance they're doing. It seems like it's a great workout, and the song is so catchy.

The next single that I found is f(x)'s newest single. I was so happy that this group of five released a single this summer, since they haven't released a new music video since last summer. They're new single is "Electric Shock". The members of f(x) are Amber, Krystal, Luna, Victoria, and Sulli. Here's the link for "Electric Shock" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8I8QGFA1oM&feature=related. 

The song is very catchy, and they always perform with a good sense of fun.

The next single that I am obsessed with is by my favorite girl group ever: SNSD! SNSD, or So Nyeo Shi Dae, is a very professional, very large group of Korean female performers. The group is made up of Taeyon, Jessica, Tiffany, Sunny, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Yoona, Sooyoung, and Seohyun. Their new single is "Paparazzi". It's a very catchy song, with a vintage vibe. Although this is a Korean group, "Paparazzi" is in Japanese. I hope they release more singles, especially more English ones, since SNSD (also called Girl's Generation) is trying to become more popular in the U.S. Here's the link for "Paparazzi": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUqP1xzRZkw&feature=channel&list=UL

The last single, which was released a week ago, is by the group After School. Sadly, their leader and my favorite member, Kahi, has left the group to pursue a solo career. However, the other girls are still in the group, and looking better than ever. The members are: Jungah, Jooyeon, Nana, Raina, Lizzy, Uee, E-young, and Kaeun. Their new single is called "Flashback".

Although I don't understand Korean, it's a beautiful language (as is Japanese, which is used in "Paparazzi"), and these performers are very talented and work very hard to put forth an excellent song. Check these girls and their summer singles out!
