In a month marked by tragedy in South Korea, it's hard to enjoy pop music. But the first half of April offers some undeniably great music, and hopefully some of it can help lift our spirits.
Our K-pop roundups continue with another exciting month. We got the long-awaited return of 2ne1, the unexpected return of Super Junior-M, and a big debut from Toheart. 2014 keeps shaping up to be a strong year for K-pop.
For the second month of 2014, we have big comebacks from B.A.P., Sunmi, CNBlue, and Girls' Generation! The music videos give us everything from sexy vampire dancing to broken mirrors, to extended mockumentaries. But how do the songs hold up against the exciting first month of the year?
When I think about romance, only one name comes to mind: Ja Rule. What other artist so delicately crafts his words of affection? What other artist has such a unique and hauntingly beautiful perspective on romance? Yes, we are joking.
It was a big month K-pop, with comebacks from Rain, TVXQ, B1A4, Dal*Shabet, AOA, Girl's Day, and more, as well as premieres by Rainbow Blaxx, Kiss&Cry, and others. If these songs are anything to go by, 2014 is going to be another big year for the Korean musical style.
