더블에스 오공일 [널 부르는 노래]

Exams are going to start real soon so I'll be MIA again. =( Hopefully arashi doesn't come out with anything really exciting this month! Aniwaes, I want to share with you guys this Korean group. They're the first Korean singers I really liked, apart for Park Yong Ha, which is a little ambiguous coz he mainly sings Japanese songs.

It all started when I was so bored in school during break, I went to youtube to get some entertainment, and clicked on this video which was really popular then. It was a live performance of one of the theme songs in Boys Over Flowers, Because I'm Stupid by SS501. That song really got me hooked, as well as the very loud and uniform cheering (Yes, K fans are...suge~) from the audience, which I didn't understand till recently. I kept listening to it for a few days but then I stopped. Till recently, after I got psycho-ed into buying two kdrama series by the very persuasive salegirls at BlueMax (I went in with the intention just to buy Pride and Prejudice - OMG the version has subtitles! Fortunately I didn't buy the BCC ver!), I was so deprived of something to watch that I went to find BOF online. And from there, I got hooked to the song again. Went to search, and found out that the guy acting as Rui is in SS501, the group that sang the song.

So, my Korean version of Arashi! Well, can't really compare coz I haven't got time to go watch SS501 variety shows to see them off-perf.

At least, there's five persons in the group.

There is one people refer to as Leader.
There is one people refer to a Baby (omg Jen's constant reference is making me link the word to Aiba-chan!).
There is one main rapper.
And I got introduced to them via HYD, like Arashi.
They all look alike to me, for now, like Sho, AIba, Ohno and Nino back them.

One thing different though, I don't have a favourite pairing in Arashi, but I have one in SS501, though I have no idea why coz it definitely isn't because of their interactions. I just like them together.

XD Their songs are good. Really a wide range of fast dance numbers and slow ballads. People say they're similar to DBSK, but I don't listen to DBSK, so I don't know and don't care. The only thing is that almost all their live perf seem to have a lot of back dancers, so it gets messy and confusing sometimes. I so prefer Arashi/Japanese/JE perf where the focus is really on the artistes.
