#songoftheday = RED VELVET: “RUSSIAN ROULETTE”
The title track from K-Pop girl group Red Velvet's Russian Roulette is about as catchy as K-Pop gets... which is, as we say in Massachusetts, wicked catchy! It has a lovely melody, lively beats, an infectious chorus and adorable voices -- what more could you want from...
#albumoftheday = JESSICA: WITH LOVE, J
S.M. Entertainment dismissed Jessica Jung from Girls’ Generation in 2014 due to scheduling conflicts related to the activities of her fashion brand Blanc & Eclare and the group’s schedule. Considering that she was a fan favorite, firing her could’ve been career suicide for Girls’ Generation, or SNSD as they’re known in Korea, but...

#songoftheday = As One [AS 1]: “HEY YA”
Today's #songoftheday is a new K-Pop diamond. Dig the '90's club-style beats, catchy bridge and absolutely contagious chorus. Perhaps it's not quite as catchy as OutKast's "Hey Ya," but it sure comes close. ...

#songoftheday / VIDEO: 4MINUTE – “미쳐(Crazy)”
Either you love K-Pop or you hate it. Nobody just kind of likes K-Pop in a casual way. Likewise, those who don't like it tend to strongly dislike it. And 4Minute's "Crazy" is one of those songs that's guaranteed to make you feel one...
#songoftheday / VIDEO: GIRL’S DAY (걸스데이) – Darling (달링)
I've long felt that Girl's Day were one of K-Pop's most under-rated girl groups, but I won't have to think that for much longer, as their awesome, new '50's throwback single, "Darling," is doing quite well for them. In fact, in just one day its super cute...

#songoftheday / VIDEO: ORANGE CARAMEL: “ABING ABING”
A song about hot summer days and ice cream. More about the ice cream and less about the hot weather. That's right, a K-Pop tune about ice cream. Naturally, I love it, being an ice cream addict. And, boy, did I want to eat...

VIDEO: Block B (블락비) – Jackpot
This video is kind of disturbing. We read a translation of the lyrics and they seem to be about getting older and becoming successful and people resenting you for it. But the video is just plain bizarre. It actually seems like they're bullying one of...
