September 24th is going to be a big day for the young idol!

The full length audio and music video of BoA’s new title song“Copy&Paste“will be revealed on that day. Plus, she will make her first live performance of the song on KBS’s “Music Bank” the same day!

Copy&Paste’ is a Hip-hop song with a repeating percussion and strings sound effect. Just like the lyric “I will paste my everything on you”, this is going to be another addictive song.In addition,there will be another new R&B ballad song titled “I’m OK” in the repackaged album. With the romantic lyric written by singer Whee Sung, BoA’s sweet and soft voice will definitely melt you heart!

BoAs new repackaged album will hit the market on September 26th.

2NE1 already on iTunes chart?

Didn’t these girls just make a come back recently?

2NE1 just recently won the K-Chart for KBS Music Bank. But no achievement is bigger than this one. 2NE1 barely did any overseas promotion but they have already landed number 2 on the iTunes chart (Hip-Hop genre)!

Earlier, YG family member Taeyang had his international album “Solar” rank third on the U.S iTunes chart, making him the first Asian to reach such a high ranking. But it seems like 2NE1 will break that record!

Will we see overseas activities from these girls in the future? Maybe, maybe not. But nonetheless, this is a great accomplishment for YG Entertainment, 2NE1, and the K-Pop industry!

San E ain’t no Rook-E

You HAVE to watch this guy’s performance!

JYP’s new artist, San E, is just plain GOOD! Making a debut with an album titled “Everybody Ready” with the title track “Tasty San (Featuring miss A’s Min),” this awesome rapper debuted on KBS Music Bank.

All I’ve got to say is that San E‘s stage presence is certainly not rookie-like. His demeanor and composure has “veteran” written all over his performance. If you know Korean, it makes the song even better as the lyrics are hilarious and true as well. Some of the topics he talks about are plagiarism, auto-tuned songs that all sound alike, boy groups winning over fans with their abs, etc.

Of course, Min does play a big role in making the performance complete with her silly and cute personality. But San E is a star in the makings. I can see him winning numerous awards in the future, featuring in many songs, and heck, even having a part in a movie!

Check out the flawless performance!
