Thanks to my daughter, I am updated on the latest news about K-pop (or KPop).

Yesterday, I saw her watching a video which she said was one of the latest of Kara, who together with SNSD are among my favorites among the Kpop girls (of course, I also like the other groups).

Looks like K-pop will be with us for a while.

Meanwhile, let us watch Umbrella performance by Kara.

And the invasion of K-pop continues, and getting hot on top of the list now is the Girls’ Generation who are also known as the SNSD which is an acronym of their Korean name So Nyeo Shi Dae or So Nyuh Shi Dae.

The Girls’ Generation or SNSD is 9-member all female group from South Korea which was formed in 2007. The group’s members ae Yoona, Tiffany, Yuri, Hyoyeon, Sooyoung, Seohyun, Taeyeon, Jessica and Sunny

Their biggest hit was the song Gee which was the longest running number 1 in Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) Music Bank. Currently they are on the top of upper part of the chart in music countdowns with their latest hit Oh!

Just like most typical K-pop songs, their repertoire includes danceable tunes with choreography that young girls love to dance to.

Here are the some their music videos.

I don’t really think that K-pop fever is about to end soon. But hey, with pretty girls like the SNSD, who’s complaining?!

Are you sick and tired of it? Or you just can’t get enough?

Well, it seems that Nobody by the Wonder Girls has really gotten all over the globe.

In fact many have submitted different videos from different countries, which were compiled and arranged into a single video.

Here it is

hmm… looks like the “Nobody bug” is going to stay for quite a while.

So we already have 2NE1 and D’ Wonder Girls, but I really don’t think another all-girl group from South Korea will hurt.

Featuring in this post -- Kara

They actually started in 2007 as a 4-member group. One of the original members had to leave in 2008 because of “parental pressure.” Apparently, the stint with Kara caused Kim Sung Hee’s grade to suffer, that’s why she had to leave.

The group projects were then shelved temporarily while auditions were held to find her replacement and another one to make the group member’s five.

The current members of Kara are: Park Gyu Ri, Han Seung Yeon, Nicole Jung, Goo Ha Ra and Kang Ji Yung.

Here’s two of their songs from YouTube where I first saw them. Videos courtesy of CodeMonmonSeason3.

So do you have any favorites from the girls so far?

When you have the 2NE1 on one side, can the Wonder Girls be far behind?

It’s like I’m hearing song Nobody wherever I go.

So which one is the more popular group? I guess it would depend on who you are asking.

Oh well, I’ve featured 2NE1 in previous post, so here’s the Wonder Girls this time with two of their songs

Yes, Sandara Park is back!

Not really back in the Philippines though, but back in the limelight as she is a part of the popular all-female group making waves in Korea now, the 2NE1 or the “New Evolution of the 21st Century” where she is now known as simply “Dara.”

After they made noise via “Lollipop” the group is now back with their new songs “Fire” and “I Don’ Care”

And taking a line from her song in the Philippines before, you can say that Sandara is really “IN” now!

Here are the two videos of 2NE1

Fire

I Don’t Care!

Aside from their 2NE1 videos, Sandara also made noise with her kissing scene  with T.O.P. in the music video of the song “I’m Sorry” which became a hot topic in the internet.

Here’s the said music video

So, still can’t get enough of Sandara Park?

The Pussycat Dolls are in Manila to perform on a one-night concert on Thursday.

Their concert is dubbed as “A Clear Doll Domination: The Pussycat Dolls Live in Manila,” the show will be held at SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City on June 11

The group lead vocalist, Nicole Scherzinger is half-Filipina, part-Russian and part-Hawaiian, but she said people think she’s from Pakistan.

The Dolls arrived in Manila last Monday, and even with a status like theirs, they were not spared from the regular inspection/check-up conducted at the airport because of the A(H1N1). But it seems they didn’t mind.

In one of her interview, Nicole said she wants to sing the national anthem in the next Pacquiao match. That would be interesting. Will she get the exact arrangement or will she do it ala-PCD? As equally interesting too, would be the reactions to her rendition afterwards.

Other members of the PCD are Kimberly Wyat, Melody Thornton, Ashley Roberts and Jessica Suta. Although Jessica was not with them when they arrived for the concert because of her injury.

This is the second time that the Dolls will be having a concert in the Philippines. The first time was in Araneta Colesium last July 2006.

Here’s a video of the PCD for the song I Hate This Part
