Kpop Acronyms
I just want to have fun so I just want to post about the acronyms in the world of kpop. Some have weird, cool, serious and just plain whacked meanings. J If you want me to add your fave kpop artists with acronyms just post them up and their description...
GOD – Groove Over Dose
They are a five-member rap/ r & b group composed of Son Ho-young, Jun Hyung, Danny Ahn, Tae Woo, and Kye Sang. But now after Kye Sang went to military service, the group continues to sing with just four members. I like Ho Young and Jun Hyung best; my fave songs are “To My Mother” and “Opposites Attract” Just last year, I have totally lost it over Ho Young and their MV for Opposites Attract!
1TYM- (pronounced one time) 1 Time for Your Mind
Along with GOD, FTTS and Shinhwa, 1tym is one of the better groups that I really liked; because of them I got into K-hip hop so much. Members are: Teddy Park, Danny Im Tae Bin, Baek Kyung, and Jinhwan. Teddy and Danny speak perfect English because they were raised in the US. (I like Teddy best, he looks good, he is down and cool, he raps, he plays the piano! Ah I like him!) Taebin just released his first solo album, getting great reviews and sales too. 1tym will be releasing their new album late this year.
UN- United N-generation
They are a kpop duo composed of Jung hoon and Sung hoon. I only got to liking them summer of last year (2004) when they sang “Honeymoon” which is a very upbeat summery song, and I also love their latest sad ballad “To Her” I noticed this duo because one of the members who plays the piano too, looks so much like the k-actor heart throb, Won Bin. UN has just broke up at the start of the year.
TVXQ- Tong Vang Xing Gi
They are also known by their Korean name, Dong Bang Shin Gi, which means “gods rising from the east”, Members are: Micky, Hero, Xiah, U-know, and Max. They are the newest milking cows I mean kpop group from SM entertainment. And so I dig k-poppers who speak perfect English eh, my fave is Micky Park who was raised in the US. I like a few number of songs that this group sang like their first single, Hug, My Little Princess, Through the Forest and Midoyoh/Trust and liked their “Hotmail” summer song sand with the rest of the SM Town crew.
NRG- New Radiancy Group
I like a few NRG songs, actually I just like David Moon Sung Hoon in the group, but he is enough for me to actually go out and support the whole group. They used to be a five-member group until the death of Antonio in 2001 due to pneumonia. Two of the members left the group, (I really don’t know the reason) a new member was brought in to replace the 2 who left. But all four of them came together again after Antonio’s death. Man, all the drama in this group is confusing me! Some cool songs are “Rolly Park” and the world cup song “Hurray for Koreans” Now, David Moon has left for military service.
SS501
I don’t know much bout this group, I haven’t read much about them and I haven’t figured out what smokes is the name of my fave member either. They are the rival boy band of TVXQ and JYP Entertainment manages them. Their songs like “Warning” and “Never Again” are quite okay too.
HOT- High-five Of Teenagers
They are now a disbanded kpop group from SM entertainment composed of Kang Ta, Moon Hee Jun, Jang Woo Hyuk, Tony Ahn, and Lee Jae Won. They wore horrendous clothes, sang weird songs (I never got around to liking any) and sport horrifying hairstyles. Hee Jun just ended his contract with SM and started his own company, Kangta is still with SM and stars in his own drama “Loveholic” the last three are of course a group called JTL. Oh and I like Tony Ahn’s song “Blue Skies” from his solo album.
S.E.S. – Sea Eugene Shoo
SES is actually an acronym of all three member’s names. They are now disbanded, all 3 have released their own solo albums but only Shoo has stayed behind in SM entertainment. Eugene is my favorite SES member, I like her song “The Best” and has gone on to act in successful series like “Loving You” “Save the Last Dance for Me and “Wonderful Life” I don’t like any of Bada’s songs and Shoo oh, she concentrated in her career in Japan
Fin K.L.- (pronounced feen kul) Fine Killing Liberty
Now let’s move over to SES’s rival which is again a disbanded group already. I have absolutely no idea what their group name means so don’t ask. The members are: Lee Hyori, Ock Joo Hyun, Sung Yuri and Lee Jin. Hyori and Ock Joo Hyun went on singing and the other two got into modeling. I like Hyori’s “10 Minutes” and ‘Remember Me” and I also like Ock Joo Hyun’s solo song “ Catch” Ock Joo Hyun also went on to sing in musical plays getting rave reviews and is rumored to be dating k-drama hottie, Lee Jung Jin. They have a new digital song released, it is great to see them together again even if that’s just 1 song.
M.I.L.K.- Made In Lovely Kin
They are another frozen delight from SM entertainment. They were produced by Moon Hee Jun. I don’t know all the members except for the two girls, Yumi who was featured in Shinhwa's Wedding March mv and Bomi was in Fly to the Sky's Day by Day and Shinhwa's All Your Dreams and Yo! mvs. I have not heard any of their songs cause I have only seen them in SM Town mvs.
Swi-T- (pronounced Sweety) Song Will Tell
Speaking of hibernation, here is another group that’s been hiding in YG before debuting in the world of kpop. I don’t kno much about this group, all I know is they were featured in 1tym’s Ready or not.
JTL- Jang Woo Hyuk Tony Ahn Lee Jae Won
Just like SES, the group’s name was taken from the member’s names. They were the three-fifths of HOT, when HOT disbanded, they got together. Now all three has released their own solo albums and their songs are way a lot better than any of the HOT songs.
B.M.K.- Big Mama King
I used to confuse BMK with Big Mama. I don’t know much about BMK I need to research more on this.
Baby VOX- Baby Voices of Expression
Here is another group that has lots of member line up changes, they make me dizzy. They are the rival girl group of Jewelry. (I like Jewelry more...hehhe. ) I like some of their songs but when I start thinking about the songs, I cannot seem to remember any song.
Click-B – Click Boys
Next to that new 12-membered band of SM, Click-B is one of the biggest groups to hit kpop fandom simply because they are composed of 7 members, Oh Jung Hyuk, Kim Sang Hyuk, Kim Tae Hyung, Yoo Ho Suk, Woo Yun Suk, Ha Hyun Gon, and No Min Hyuk. Click-B became a three-membered band and started collaborating with J-walk forming the band JNC.
T.T.MA- Taste The Maximum
I have been a die hard fan of Pops In Seoul which is an English music show hosted by TTMa’s lead singer, Vj Soy. I was surprised to know that VJ Soy used to sing in a girl group called TTMa. I have heard two of their songs before and they were okay really.
Cleo- Come Listen Everyone
I have heard some songs of this group before but I cant remember which, so I guess their songs are good enough just for downloading.
