I'm ready to see what he comes up with after "Gangnam Style". Will "Gentleman" be a worldwide hit? Will it get as much attention as "Gangnam Style"? Can it live up to "Gangnam Style"? Was "Gangnam Style" a worldwide one hit wonder?

Music Video: Lunafly "Fly To Love" Korean and English

This is a cute video. This was the first time I had heard this group. I like their sound.

Lunafly is a boyband that debuted in September of 2012. They are under the Nega Network label. The 3 members are Sam, Teo, and Yun. Their first album is titled "Fly To Love".

I thought the keyboard player was a girl!

Music Video: MBLAQ "Mona Lisa" (Japanese)

MBLAQ released a Japanese version of "Mona Lisa". They decided to go with a new video concept instead of just singing Japanese with the old music video. I like the new video.It's neat to hear it in a different language.

I personally like the Korean version of the song and video better.

The Official video was released on April 7, 2013

Music Video: Eric Nam "Good-bye in Once Upon a Time"

I like Eric Nam's voice.

Music Video: Phantom "Come As You Are"

Featuring Verbal Jint

Phantom is one of my favorite groups! I just love their sound.

Music Video: Infinite "Man in Love"

This is a cute video. (Male version of aegyo? hehe) The guys all seem to be in love with objects! The first guy loves the kitten that was left by his door. One guy loves his cell phone. Another guy likes the piano although he isn't very good at it. Another guy is in love with baking. Another guy is in love with books.

Music Video: Bobby Kim "I'm Alive" Korean and English

Featuring Kingston Rudieska

This is a cute, upbeat song.

"Overexposure" Fine

Starting March 21, 2013 if you are "overexposed" you can be fined 50,000 won (about $50 USD).

Some K-pop women who are known for their revealing fashion criticized the new rule.  Lee Hyori posted this on Twitter: "Is it true about the overexposure fine? I'm dead." Kwak Hyun-hwa said "What am I going to do?"

The new President, Park Geun-hye, proposed the fine in her first cabinet meeting in March.

The new law isn't clear on what is too revealing. "Overexposure" is only defined as "showing too much skin while in public places or causing embarrassment or displeasure by revealing body parts that should be kept hidden."
