K-Pop Phenomenon Cover 2




Bump bump into you guys again!

This time, I will continue the previous post. Still about the dance cover.

For a couple of days, some friends told me that dance cover is not that interesting. Their point is that it was just imitating others, which sometimes called BITERS in dance world. What I'm print-thick here is that Dance Cover do not bite!

I mean, yes, they do imitate, but they admit they imitate. Biters won't admit that they imitate, will they? ;)

And about the opinion that the dance covers aren't cool is just completely wrong. I found myself that doing the dance cover is pretty hard. You just look onto the video and try to imitate it. The art is how you imitate without the video being slowed down or mirrored. Though it's more appreciative to see someone's making choreography by themselves, but doing the dance cover has its own attractions.

It's quite challenging! Try it! ;)




Repeating from the previous post, the Korean billboard and surveys prove that most of female dance teams love to cover the songs of these Korean girlbands.

Miss A (fandoms : Say A)
Girls Generation a.k.a SNSD (fandoms : SONE)
Kara (fandoms : Kamilia)

Some fans said that the reasons why they choose those three girlbands above because the song is nice and catchy. Second, the music is well-synchronized. Third, the dance steps seem hard, but when you look deeper into it, it's not as difficult as it's seen. Anyway, from those three girlbands above, I once do the dance cover for Girls Generation, Gee, for my school festival and big crowds applaud us! :3
It encourages me to do more dance cover for Kpop's girlbands or boybands!

Here are the details you might want to know about the girlbands I listed.

GIRLBANDS : MISS A, GIRLS GENERATION, KARA


MISS «

Commonly stylized as Miss A is a four member of Korean and Chinese girl group based in South Korea. They were formed by JYP Entertainment and are manage by AQ Entertainment. The group consists of Fei, Jia, Min, and Suzy. Fei and Jia are considered two of the four best recognized female celebrities of Chinese origin active in the South Korean entertainment scene, along with F(x) Victoria's Song and fashion model Wei Sun.
Their fist title song, "Bad Girl Good Girl" show their acrobatic dancing ability off. Miss A's seductive dancing sprawled on the floor in their famous single "Goodbye Baby" has ultimately brought them to the top.  Recently, Miss A announced their comeback in Korea with their mini album called "Touch", which is confirmed to be released on February 20, 2012. The first music video teaser featuring their youngest member Suzy, was uploaded on Youtube channel on February 13. Six days after that, the official Touch music video was put on Miss A's official account and gained over one millions views in two days!



GIRLS GENERATION (SOSHI) «

Girls Generation is a nine-member South Korean pop girl group formed by S.M Entertainment in 2007. They are also referred to Soshi or SNSD as the abbreviations of their Korean name. The leader of the group is Kim Taeyeon and the dance lead is taken by Kim Hyoyeon. The other members are Jessica Jung, Sunny, Tiffany, Kwon Yuri, Choi Sooyoung, Im Yoona, and Seohyun.
The nine-girl of this girlband became an Asian music sensation with their combination of cute yet seductive dance choreography and simple yet catchy beats. Their initial success began with the release of their first EP, "Gee". Next, the girls have continued to make consecutive dance hits with songs like "Tell Me Your Wish" and "Oh!" enticing viewers with their attractive figures and addictive dance steps. The music video "Oh!" was made the sequel which has a complete different dance aura from its previous: "Run Devil Run". It is also dubbed as Black Soshi.
Their recent song, "The Boys" achieved an all-kill status on all major on-off line music charts in Korea. Setting their sights on international market, the girls signed a contract with Universal Music Group under Interscope Records. The song was written, composed, and arranged by Teddy Rilley, who was Michael Jackson's producer.



KARA «

This girlband who consists of 5 members, Park Gyuri, Han Seungyeon, Jung Nicole, Goo Hara, and Kang Jiyoung, signed with DSP Media. The band name Kara comes from Greek word : chara (chara) which the group interpreted to mean sweet melody. Expectations for the group to be as big as their senior labelmates Fin K.L were extremely high and the members were promoted as successors to them. Their official fandom is Kamilia, derived from combination of KARA and latin word of family (familia). Kara's official balloon color is pearl peach.
One of K-Pop most visible faces abroad (esp. in Japan!) secured their first number one ranking on Japan's Oricon music chart with their booty dancing in their hit song "Mister". With their tightly cropped shirts and baggy pants, the girls were able to further emphasize their hip-centric movement. The butt dance, which is shown prominently in the music video, is now becoming their signature move.
Also in their second title song, "Honey", Kara gained a huge crowds following their honey-licking dance. Kara's new single, STEP is ranked at number eight on Billboard's K-Pop Hot 100 this week.
On December 30, DSP Media announced that they will embark on their first concert titled KARASIA in early 2012. This is their first independent concert since their first debut five years ago.

Oh and by the way, do you pay any attention to my blog's title? «
YES! I've changed it. My inspiration comes from my dance friend, Jerina, who put this on her bluetooth device name. I think that's good and impressive. Hip for hope as for hip hop. :)
