MANILA, Philippines – The world has gone crazy over Korean pop. Very popular right now are boy bands and girl groups with members who harmonize beautifully and showcase well-choreographed dance steps. Good-looking, stylish, entertaining and hotter than kimchi, these are some of Korea’s most in-demand groups.
Wonder Girls
Breaking into the music scene in early 2007, the group—composed of Sohee, Mimi, Sun, Yenny and Hyuna—was introduced in an MTV show and became popular thanks to massive hits such as “Tell Me,” “So Hot” and “Nobody.”
Hyuna eventually had to be pulled out by her parents ostensibly for health reasons (she is now with another girl group called 4minute), but she was replaced by Yubin, who has a solo rap part in the new version of “Tell Me.”
The video for the song features a fun and easy-to-imitate choreography, which has resulted in a dance craze with fans from all over the world posting videos of themselves imitating the same moves.
The girls have performed in places like Bangkok and China and have invaded the US as well with an English version of “Nobody” and a front-act appearance for the Jonas Brothers. An English album is said to be in the works.
Big Bang
This all-male musical group consists of five talented singers/dancers—G-Dragon, Tae Yang, T.O.P., Daesung and Seung Ri — who, even before coming together as a group, were successful solo artists. G-Dragon and Tae Yang started their careers when they were 12 years old, while T.O.P. was an underground rapper.
Apart from releasing award-winning albums and mini-albums of hip-hop songs, the Big Bang boys are also famous for their freestyle and street dancing. They are trendsetters, too, with their slanted caps, cornrows, triangular scarves, shutter shades and faux-hawks.
Famous for hits like “Haru Haru,” “La-la-la,” and “Number 1,” the boys command legions of fans in places like Japan, where they have released Japanese versions of their songs.
2NE1
Tagged as the female version of Big Bang, 2NE1 counts CL, Bom, Minzy and Dara (more popularly known as Sandara Park to Pinoys) as its members. While they can all sing and dance (their choreography is very impressive), each girl is unique when it comes to voice quality, image and fashion style. Still, they complement one another and look fab as a group.
Their first single, “Lollipop,” was an advertisement song with Big Bang that was used to promote a phone. Their actual debut single as a group, however, is the very energetic and catchy song “Fire.” The song has two music videos, one of which was featured on Perez Hilton’s blog.
It has also been reported that Interscope Records is interested in an American album for the girls. Not bad for a group that appeared on the scene only a couple of months ago.
2NE1 is scheduled to release a mini-album next week, one that contains the reggae-tinged pop/R&B song called “I Don’t Care.” We can’t wait to hear if the rest of their stuff is as good as “Fire.”

Let's start with the Nobody craze. Last July 19, ASAP's IT GIRLS performed Nobody. However they used the English translation by a girl named JeAnne Ehriel.

Still, they used the micstand and the steps too. But people think they still need more energy.
How about SOP's Beautiful Girls? They performed nobody too. This time using the real English version, but I think they got confused between SNSD and Wonder Girls.

More energy please? And where's Yoobin's rap part?
Next stop Fire.
Last July 18, at Wowowee, dancers Shaina, Rodjun and Mickey danced the song in a remix version. They changed the steps, used some but at the wrong part.

They used Bom's cards as props.
July 19, at the gameshow The Singing Bee, they used the song at the "To Bee Continued" round. Frenchie Dy sang the lyrics.

Hmmmm, not bad, at least she managed to sing it. We can't blame her, she's not a Korean.
Many Filipinos still don't want to see or hear their favorite kpop songs over the local televisions nor local radio stations. We have our own opinions.
Some were happy others were not. Some people will only be happy if they will give justice to the song, even though it's only a parody. Hmmmmm,
Fresh, hot news from Korea. Sandara's representative stated yesterday (July 14) that Dara's relationship with Joseph Bitangcol was just a made-believe one. A YG representative said on the telephone interview, "He used the expression of 'ex-girlfriend' because they had appeared together as made-believe couples in the Filipino version of 'We Got Married'. They did not date each other." Her representative also stated that "Programmes set with love relationship in the Philippines are really popular. Hence Sandara had worked with this male entertainer. It seems that the truth has been distorted and misunderstood by many here in Korea."
Filipino netizens were not happy with these article. Some Filipino 2NE1 fans were used to be fans of Dara when she was still in the Philippines.
-why do yg always state the opposite...i mean...i'm a filipino..i know sandara more.. i mean..yes it is really true that the two had a relationship not only they were paired as love team
-that is so not true! every1 in the philippines know that they had a relationship! i'm shocked and disappointed that yg denied about their relationship
-by denying this even more , it will cause RUMORS and sepculations instead
-this makes YG and possibly Dara look bad for not telling the truth even though I know that it's most likely not Dara's idea to deny the relationship
-they shouldn't have released this statement, maybe they are not aware that some Filipino fans are still supporting Dara and that 2NE1 have Filipino fans
Some Filipino netizens says that the guy YG is pertaining to is Hero Angeles, not Joseph Bitangcol.
Why deny a relationship that was opened to the public years ago. YG Entertainment dissappointed some Filipino fans. After all, having a past relationship doesn't matter. It's normal for person, right?

For the past few days, kpop songs are entering MYX Daily Top 10.

For a few days, Fire was able to get the number one spot.
Base on the charts above, Wonder Girls' Nobody and Super Junior's Sorry Sorry were able to get on the list too.
This is the MYX chart as of today
According to some Filipino netizens, 2PM's Again and Again, DBSK's Wrong Number and SNSD's Gee were also being played at My MYX and Pop MYX. Some were happy about it, others are not.
Will kpop starts to invadePhilippines just like how Taiwanese artists such asF4 and Farenheit invaded us? Well, that's something Pinoy KPOP fans must watch out.

Last July 11, the show Sketchbook in S.Korea featured 2NE1. In the said program, Sandara sang a part of her s0ng In or Out for their solo perfs. In or Out was one of her songs here in Philippines.
She sang the original song without changing the Tagalog lyrics. Filipino netizens were happy.
-it's nice hearing her sing filipino songs again..and im glad they didnt make it korean
-that was unexpected! You still remember :-) You will always be IN! Go Go Dara <3
-pure korean but have a filipino heart...^^
-she's really proud of working here in the philippines even though she's not really from here
We wish to see m0re of dara showing or speaking or singing in Tagalog. I wish she will also sing "Dadalhin" by Regine Velaquez, her favorite Filipino singer.

Last July 8, 2ne1's mini album was released with 6 tracks. One of the song was "Let's Go Party". In the said song, each members spoke "let's go party" in different language. CL said in in French, Minji in Japanese, Dara in Filipino, and Bom in Korean.
Yes, Dara said "punta tayo sa fiesta". Weird translation though but still many Filipino kpop followers were happy.
So, are we going to hear more of Dara speaking in Tagalog? We'll find out
