I think Run is probably my favourite release so far this year. So fucking good

Gonna have to say the same really.

Honestly one of the best songs I've ever heard in the entire genre, I know it's partially because it's new, but this is still a gem.

Nice release but I think people are overreacting to it's awesomeness. Isn't it too monotone?

I do like it a lot tho, generally likable song so it's hard to complain.

I wondered why I had a hundred posts in this thread since last night, and thought maybe I missed something major. Turns out all I missed was people begging for IU pics they could find on the 'net, people posting said pics, and then people talking about people posting pics. wtf guys.

Practice vids are good (@TuElite- I'm not sure I understand- most groups put out practice vids no?). I didn't realize how much I liked the Loving U choreography until this vid came out. I think even with live performances for shows the camera angles are too crazy and the closeups too numerous to really appreciate stuff like that. That's the same reason why I liked the Cry Cry practice vid but the music shows were kind of lackluster.

Other companies should really take notice of what Starship is doing with Sistar and give us practice videos. Normal clothes so much better...

Plus I like to see them make mistakes, start over and practice for a ridiculous amount of time until they are covered in sweat. I quite enjoyed that par of KARA's Step DVD. I only wish it was longer and included multiple takes.

I don't know why they don't add more Behind The Scenes footage of the groups practice sessions like that, it's totally inexpensive to make and the addition of a practice or BTS DVD would definitely get me to buy more albums or keep a higher interest in some groups.

On an another note, Sistar are working really hard... Insanely hard. They never had a break in the past year or so... Always practicing, recording, and promoting. + Solo activities like Invincible Youth and Immortal Song. I really enjoy each and every one of their performances and I like their songs so in that sense it is good for me that they are being slaved so much but at the same time, please let them rest lol I don't like watching people who even though might not appear to be, I know are probably exhausted...

Younha song is good, very easy to listen to and let play in the background. I like it.

SM did this with Into The New World, Genie, Mr Taxi and The Boys. This is not a new thing

Well Run is not really the best track in there, I do think it's a bit of a overreaction from most people. That said it is not a bad song or anything, just that this happens with all new releases(from big artists).

Speaking of IU... Probably old news and everyone has already watched this but in case someone hasn't http://www.viki.com/channels/3180-iu-lee-ji-eun/videos/69576

Pretty nice short documentary of IU. She's cute!

Thanks for sharing! I remember it going up on youtube, but I didn't bother watching it completely because there weren't any english subs. What made it even more enjoyable was that I've been to Venice myself a couple of weeks ago. =)

New Younha is good stuff indeed!

As for choreo, it should be more like group moves (Cry Cry) and less general sync (Gee). So much more engaging to watch ^^ But hard to capture on liveshows, Cry Cry failed miserably.

Just listened through the whole album of Younha cause the Run song was really great and not a bad song on the entire album imo. Maybe one but it was alright. Especially like Supersonic, People and Run. Not usually a fan of slow songs but the track with John Park was great aswell.
Sigh. Gotta have to download tons of old stuff to see what I've been missing out on T_T Work Work.

Also that f(x) video is insane, they seem to have fun though so it's alright. If the crowd can sit in the rain for a whole concert(?) then ofc they can do 1 song

Speechless.

It's such an awesome song. I somehow discovered this song a couple of years ago, not knowing it was korean (or listening to any other korean music). Then I completely forgot about it when I got into metal and electronic music etc.
But like half a year ago I came across it again when I got into Kpop and I have been listening to it every once in a while again since.

Another, completely different song of him:
