TVQX Spellbound Comeback

This is what I get for watching so much K-Dramas.  I haven't kept up with the comebacks.  Actually, it's been a while since any of my favorite groups been having any comebacks.  I think SM Entertainment have been focusing on EXO's promotions that the others have been put aside.  Now Super Junior and TVXQ are having comebacks, plus SNSD.  I missed TVXQ's first comeback this year.

Their first song Something and now Spellbound have the same style, very U.S. 20's style. Looking at Super Junior-M song Swing! and SNSD's Mr. Mr., those have the same style as well. I'm expecting SHINee to come out with a song similar to that genre.  I prefer Spellbound over Something.

I'm loving how they look in suits and slick hair.  I'm also getting use to just seeing Yunho and Changmin but I still prefer the 5.

Here's the video from SMTown's Youtube account:

TVXQ Humanoids New MV Teaser

Seems like, I GreenTea, have been behind in my idol updates.  TVXQ has come out with a new music video called Humanoids.  Full version of the video will be released on Nov 26th.

I love their dance but it sounds and looks like their last release Catch Me video.  That video was pretty cool but I think they need some variety.

There's basically only two songs that DBSK sings that I like, Mirotic and Balloons.  Two completely different songs.  Balloons is just too cute and so at odds with the Mirotic image I have of them.

When DBSK split, it seems like SM Entertaiment just gave Yunho and Changmin one sound and stuck them in that hole.  I wish they would end the legal battle and put TVXQ and JYJ back together again.

In any case, here's Humanoids by TVXQ.  Video by SMTown's YouTube.

Well, I must have been blind.  My previous post says that voting ends November 22nd.  It's actually November 28th, midnight.

TVXQ leading in Best Global Group.  FTIsland leading in Best Band (Chai should be happy).

Also, are you a pretty girl?  MAMA is having an event for only who think they are pretty (very subjective, I think).  You need to sit in front of the computer and sing B.O.B and Bruno Mars' song Nothing on You.  Winner's video will be broadcasted on the live show and will win a signed CD and TShirt of a Super K-Pop Star.  Comb your hair and put on a pretty blouse and belt it out.  You may win.  Event Ends on November 24th.  Here's the site for more details: Beautiful Girl Singing Contest

SMTown's I AM, the movie

A little late but I just saw I AM, the movie from SM Entertainment at the HIFF.  Go and see it, if....

If one of your favorite idol group is either Super Junior, SHINee, TVXQ, Girls Generation, f(x), Kanta or BOA and you have never gone to any of their concerts.  Actually, you should see it on the big screen if you haven't seen their concerts.  It shows some of their concert performances of their popular songs and it is like being at their concert. Plus, you get up close shots of their performances.  It helps if you sit a little back and you have a bunch of fans in the first six or seven rows screaming when the group performs on stage.  It's like being in the front row at a real concert.  It felt amazing.

If you're a fan of any of those groups, then you should see this movie. You get to see their pre-debut days and how they auditioned and practiced.  They were so young, normally around 14-15 yrs old.  They are interviewed and they explained how they felt auditioning, performing and practicing.  There were times I got all teary eyed because of how hard they practiced and how much they love their families and the sacrifices they made.

If you're into Kpop, then you should see this movie.  I would think in any of the Korean groups or idols in any of the companies feel the same way,auditioning and practicing in a similar fashion.  Watching them and listening to them is a little heartbreaking.  It really made me appreciate all the hard work they have done.

One thing I felt sad about was Kangta and Boa.  When they appeared on screen, there weren't any screaming fans in the theatre for them.  They were popular back in the day.  I discovered H.O.T. just last year, so I pretty much knew about Kanta.  I knew of BOA just because she's in the SM company and I recognized the name.  I hope the fans went home to look up Kanta.  I believe H.O.T. was the reason why Kpop groups continued on until today.

I would love to go and see the movie again.  The DVD and Blu-ray box set was released on Oct 3rd. I think it's a set I would love to own and if you're a fan you would too.

TVQX on Live with Kelly and Michael

Wow, first it was Girls Generation on David Letterman and Live with Kelly.  Now TVXQ is on Live with Kelly and Michael.  Well, almost....

Seems like their new song 'Catch Me' was played as the opening song on Live with Kelly and Michael.    

It was background music so you can barely hear it but it's there!  I hope this is a hint of what's to come.  Yunho and Changmin on 'Live'.

Or someone that works on 'Live' is a fan of TVQX.  I wouldn't be surprised since Kpop is very popular around the world.

 Click here to watch 'Live with Kelly and Michael'.  Turn up the volume!

TVXQ Catch Me Dance Version

I was waiting for TVXQ to have a comeback on Music Bank or Music Core this weekend since their single Catch Me came out, but I haven't seen anything posted.

I did find a Dance Only version where they are in the SM practice room with their clouds background.

First, I got to say, what's with Changmin's outfit?  It's so weird to practice in that.  It's a bit distracting.  It nice watching him dance and hearing him sing.

Then there's Yunho.  Yeah.  He's a dancer.  You can tell by the way he moves, very smooth.  The choreography is very powerful and you could tell that they are trying to convey that.  Yunho looks more effortless than Changmin.

I like how the extra dancers lower Yunho effortlessly and smoothly in the transitions between Yunho and Changmin.  Pretty cool.  I don't think you would be able to notice that in the MV version.

Anticipating their live comeback but in the meantime enjoy the Dance Version of Catch Me from SM Entertainment.

TVXQ Catch Me is released

It's finally out!  Well, for me the wait for 'Catch Me' wasn't that long.  Not like SHINee.  I'm still waiting for their Dazzling Girl release.

Yunho and Changmin look good.  Their teaser image was odd and too yellow-y but their MV looks better.  It looks very futuristic.  I like their arm band things and when it's all connected and they danced.  That looks cool.

 I think I need to get use to their songs, even when they were the 5 DBSK.  I basically only like MIROTIC. That song was kept on replay on my iPod for the longest time and I love the choreography for MIROTIC. I like the dance only MV because it was basically them singing and dancing, nothing flashy.   Don't Bring Me Down was okay.

'Catch Me' sounds very techno.  I'm not that really into techno music.  I think I need to see the live version to get really into the music. Because I don't understand Korean,  I really don't understand the concept of the video.

I want them to release a dance only version.  Here's their video from SM Entertainment.

TVXQ comeback

TVXQ have been releasing teaser images for their comeback "Catch Me" on September 24th.

SM Entertainment stated "'Catch Me' will have a trendy Dutch electronic sound and incorporate a powerful orchestral melody.  Stimulating the ear with a dubstep melody line, it is a fresh dance track."

Yunho was the first to have his teaser image released.  Yikes! It looks like part of his head is shaved.  Almost reminiscent of Key's Lucifer hair.  Too bad his eyes are covered.

Changmin teaser is just as odd.  I don't know about his "bowl" haircut.  It looks like they were trying to do a double image on the photo but it doesn't work really well.  I think the yellow tint doesn't work well with both photos.

I like their group teaser photo the best.  They look wonderful here.   Yunho looks kind of like Kim Hyun Joong.  I can't wait to see their comeback.

So many comebacks and releases of groups I like.  This will be an exciting fall season.  Yipppeee!
