Kpop
I bought Super Junior's 3rd album last week. I know it was released here in the Philippines a month ago but I only had the time to get it last week. This is what work does to you. I got a copy because I wanted to check out their music. Fan girl mode warning. Ok. I have to admit that I also wanted to check the photo diary that comes with it since the 13 members are such fine lads. Haha! 
I have seen the music video for Sorry, Sorry some months back. I thought the song was catchy and ok, but I never really bothered to look up their other songs. It was only after my sister Angela told me about their funny videos on Youtube, and when Monette told me that: "Eunhyuk is love," that I only started to really pay more attention.
To Youtube, I went and I came across a video of Charice Pempengco with Super Junior in Korea. In that video, she sang A Whole New World with the group's youngest member, Kyuhyun. After seeing that video, I instantly became a fan. Kyuhyun cannot only sing, but can do it really well. Amazing voice too. (Charice having a powerful voice is already a given.) He's my new crush. Haha! I also like the other member, Siwon.
Other members of the group are Leeteuk, Heechul, Han geng, Yesung, Kang-in. Shindong. Sungmin, Donghae, Eunhyuk, Ryeowook and Kibum. It took three videos before I was finally able to attach all the names to their faces. I wonder how much it costs to be sponsoring such a big group.
So what can I say about the CD? I like it because most of the songs are upbeat and the type that you can sort of, dance to. Think Craig David's Insomnia. (I had to write sort of since I am not sure if the movements I do qualify as a dance. Haha!) Of course, I couldn't understand the lyrics since it is Korean but if the English translation I found are correct, the songs are mostly about love.
There are other Kpop artists that have infiltrated the Philippine music scene like 2NE1, Big Bang and Shinee. I don't know if it is because there are so many Koreans here. I hope more music from other countries will also be available here. Not that I am complaining about OPM (Original Pilipino Music). Having more choices is always good though.
