My Favorite Korean Music of 2014
Every year I like choose my favorite Korean music from the whole year. Sometimes I choose a song because there was a great video. Other times I choose the song because I liked the song itself. These are my top songs in no particular order:
1. Crush "Hug me" (Korean Rap)
I chose this song for the music video and the song. The song had a great beat and sound. I liked the message of the song. The music video was neat also. The dancing was great! I liked his white outfit-white coat, white pants and a black hoodie. I've been listening to this song over and over since it came out! This was a song on Crush's first regular album.
2. 40 "black" (Korean R&B)
I chose this song for the video and the song. 40 has a great voice!
3. 2lson, Ailee- "I'm in love" (Korean pop)
I liked this song mainly for the video although the song is very nice. I like the opening where they have people talking. I like the view of the city in the video. I like the message of the song and the clips of people in love and helping others.
4. Jung Joon-young & Younha "Just the Way you are" (Korean Rock/Ballad)
I chose this song for the video and the song. The song has an inspiring message. I really liked the video. It gives a good message just to be who you. We are different, but its okay. I like the storyline with the kids.
5. Mblaq "Be A Man" (Korean pop)
I chose this song for the song and the video. Mblaq is one of my favorite groups (I'm disappointed that they are losing 2 members). The song is great and I love the dancing. My favorite part was Mir's rap.
6. 2bic "Walk Backward" (Korean R&B)
I chose this mainly because these 2 guys have AMAZING voices! I love all their songs! I have played this song many times! The video is neat also. I like the filming location. They are just out playing the piano and singing in an open field.
7. 2bic "Love Game" (Korean R&B)
My 2nd song by 2bic. As I said before, I LOVE their voices!! I have played this over and over! I need to buy their albul! This video is cute also. The guy waits so long, but he finally gives up.
8. Electroboyz "Bang Bang Crossroads" (Korean Hip Hop)
I really like the beat of this song. They have good voices.
9. Troy "Green Light" (Korean Hip Hop)
I chose this song mainly for the video. I really liked the vintage feel.
10. High4, IU "Not Spring, Love, or Cherry Blossoms" (Korean pop)
This video was High4's debut. I really like the song. The video is very cute.
11. Nu.D "Insane" (new dimensional kpop)
I really like this song! It has an awesome beat and I'm digging the use of traditional Korean instruments.

Korean Movie: Declaration of Idiot 바보선언
This is number 9 on the top 101 Korean movies list made by the Korean Film Archive. My goal is to watch them all. 6 down....95 to go!
Year: 1983
Length: 97 minutes
Genre: Social Drama
Where to Watch: https://www.youtube.com/user/KoreanFilm
Main Cast:
Lee Bo-hee 혜영
Lee Hee-sung 육덕
Plot:
동철 has lived a life of crime. 동철 sees a girl that he likes (혜영). He follows her around and one day 동철 and 육덕 (a taxi driver) try to kidnap her. They find out that 혜영 is a prostitute. They do errands for her. They get kicked out after fighting with a customer. All 3 of them go to a beach resort. 동철 falls in love with 혜영. 혜영 gets a job in a high-class restaurant in Seoul. She is killed when a customer forces her to drink too much alcohol. 동철 and 육덕 dress her up nicely and bury her.
**This movie was so odd to me! I can't understand why it is in the top 100 movies. Maybe you have to understand the Korean culture in the 80s to appreciate this movie.
There isn't much dialogue in the movie. The dialogue doesn't start until about 40 minutes into the movie. A lot of the movie is silent with a kid narrating.
It was neat to see how Korea has changed over the years. The cars, fashion and buildings have changed a lot since the 80's.
