Favorite Boyband:

1. Super Junior


Okay, like I already said, I love Super Junior because I got karma. I was the one who used to mocking Super Junior lol. But it's all Channel V's fault. At the end of 2010, they keep playing Sorry Sorry. Like, every single time I watch it.
Debut under SM Entertainment in November 11, 2005, they was named Super Junior '05. They sang Twins on SBS's Popular Song. They was consist of 12 members, Leeteuk (leader), Kim Heechul, Hangeng, Yesung, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon, Kibum, and Ryeowook. But then at May 23, 2006, a new member added, Cho Kyuhyun.

They have 4 subgroups.
Super Junior KRY consists of Kyuhyun-Ryeowook-Yesung. They focused on ballad songs.
Super Junior M, or Super Junior Mandarin consists of 4 korean members (Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun), 2 chinese (Hangeng, Zhoumi), and 1 american (Henry Lau). At the end of 2009, Hangeng sued SMent and decided to step out from SJ. In 2011, Super Junior M made their come back with hit single Perfection and 2 guest members (Sungmin, Eunhyuk)
Super Junior T, or Super Junior Trot consists of 6 members, Leeteuk, Heechul, Kangin, Shindong, and Eunhyuk. They are the first idol group known for capitalizing trot music, the oldest form of Korean pop music.
Super Junior H, or Super Junior Happy consists of Leeteuk, Kangin, Sungmin, Shindong, Yesung, and Eunhyuk. Super Junior-Happy's music style involves the common style of contemporary dance music and bubblegum pop, mainly targeting the music industry with their fun and entertaining style.

Why I like them:
I found out they have many members, which means in one group they have more talents to show. The main reason is because I like their performance. They have many members so when they performs it looks so cool in harmony.
Oh and I thought, well.. I have a thought that every boyband (dancing one) do lipsing and don't sing well when they dance. But, no. I watch Super Junior performance MR (Music Removed) and their voices... great. The TV channel do add the song (so they sing as the song is playing). But their voices stable and just like the record one!
And of course I love their song. Their faces (ㅋㅋㅋ). And also, they are 4 dimensional! 4 dimensional means wacky, random, and funny. Until now, I haven't found another boyband who funiier then Super Junior!

Must listen:
Sorry Sorry, Bonamana, Coagulation (SJ KRY), Perfection (SJM), Super Girl (SJM), Pajama Party (SJH), Rokkugo! (SJT)

2. Big Bang



They were debut in 2006 under YG Entertainment. Big Bang consists of 5 members, GD (leader), TOP, Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri.

Why I like them:
They different. I do admit that they don't have pretty faces like the other boyband, but they have something to tell the world. They just simply different with the other band and it makes them.. awesome? They barely dance. Their music style is also different. They have western style of music. And also their MV. Big Bang, for me, literally Big Bang.

Must listen:
Tonight, Lies, Love Song, High High (GD&TOP), Tell Me Goodbye.

3. DBSK


DongBangShinKi or TVXQ (Tohoshinki is DBSK in Japanese) was debut at December 26, 2003 under SM Entertainment with a song titled 'Hug'. They consist of 5 members with powerful voices, Jung Yunho (leader), Jaejoong, Junsu, Yoochun, and Shim Changmin.

Why I like them:
I.. actually, I'm not even a fan. They just booming in Korea. I mean, they have the world's largest official fan club.Eventho I never listen to their song or watch their MV, but I admit that. Until I watch Mirotic. It was.. what should I say? It can't leave my mind. I just amazed. I think DBSK is the only one boyband whose all of the members have a powerful and wonderful voice. I just disappointed they separated.

Must listen:
Mirotic, Doushite, Keep Your Head Down, Why, For You It's a Separation For Me It's Waiting (JYJ's Jaejoong), Purple Line



Favorite Girlband:

1. 2NE1
2NE1 was debut in 2009 under YG Entertainment. They consist of 4 members, CL (leader), Sandara Park, Park Bom, and Minzy.

Why I like them:
Nearly the same reason with why I like Big Bang. Maybe because they're under the same house production? But yeah, I like their style. Even Will.I.Am also loves them!
They have different sense of music and sense of style. CL's even bestfriend with Jimmy Scott! a famous American designer.

Must Listen:
Follow Me, Fire, Can't Nobody, It Hurts, Clap Your Hands.

2. F(x)


F(x) was debut at September 1, 2009 (my birthday! lol) under SM Entertainment with first single "La Cha Ta". Consists of 5 members, Victoria (leader), Amber, Krystal (SNSD's Jessica's lil sister), Sulli, and Luna.

Why I like them:
They're young and cute! No, they don't act cute, they naturally cute. That's why I like them. They're not like the other girlband who trying to look older and sexy and stuff, they prefer display something fresh and young.
They never (or barely) use same costums. They always look colorful and different with each other. Just like their name, F for Flower (just if you wondering, x is for double X, girl chromosome).
Also, Luna have a beauuuutiful and powerful voice for a teenager like her!

Must Listen:
Chu, Nu Abo, Pinocchio/Danger.


Okay, I supposed to write one more girlband, but I haven't found one who I really like ㅋㅋ

Maybe next one is those I like the least?
