I'm not sure what the description of this blog should be. I've just always wanted the chance to talk about what I love in a safe environment. So, I guess in a nut-shell this blog focuses on the past, present, and future of Korean Pop Culture, which is widely regarded as the "Hallyu Wave" and how I see it as it unfolds. It's my opinion all the time! Straight up objectivity, but all for the love of Hallyu.

2PM Junsu First Solo Digital Single
Well to kick off this blog I'm happy to begin with a subject matter I have grown so very, very fond of. Jun. K (Junsu) of beastly idol group 2PM is making his solo debut. For the past week he has dropped concept photos, teaser and lastly the song in question.
"Alive" is a seemingly up beat song, where Junsu boasts about how good he feels, and that, like 2NE1, he is "the best". The track infuses slow bumping hip-hop beat that my body just can't help swaying to. Then he meshes that with a little autotune (which he so does not need) and some beautiful string instruments to polish off the sound.
I have to say I was in love with the track the minute I heard the teaser. I make it no secret that I once hated Junsu's voice. I felt he tried too hard to make it sound like something it wasn't. It wasn't until his appearance on KBS variety show Immortal Song 2 that I fully understood the beauty of his unique vocals and his talent to create music that suits them.
Check out the official below and don't forget to support the artist. Buy the single.
