Malaysia:The Goldmine
You know B2ST/BEAST? Of course you do, its one of the hottest Korea's group in town and had just performed over the weekend in Malaysia as well as Singapore. To add on,some parties are trying hard to bring B2ST to Brunei, which means B2ST will be the 1st Kpop group to perform in Brunei (if they managed to bring B2sT here that is) after U-Kiss which was supposed to have their fanmeet in May postponed it for whatsoever reasons that wasnt disclosed. And B2ST had just released their new album 'Fiction and Fact'. For a little recap,B2St had been coming/will be coming to Malaysia for quite a lot of times this year only, 1st in early January for the DiGi Live Kpop concert, 2nd was the last Saturday B2sT Asia fanmeet tour held at Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach of which one of my coursemate became their translator/interpreter, and the 3rd will be the upcoming MTV World Stage which was set to be held at i-city,which was a much debated location.
Alongside with B2St that came to Malaysia in early Jan, 2AM was also a regular to Malaysia having came to Malaysia for 2 times only this year.The 2nd time was a very special reward that DiGi gives to its subscribers,having achieved the 150,000 likes in their Facebook page, and guess what its FREE. For 1hr showcase! Only need to topup $50 and register for Digi music plus.
Broadcasters have also capitalised on this Hallyu Wave by providing more Korean contents especially with the recent addition of tvN HD on the Unifi IPTV platform.Across the causeway in Singapore, the upcoming KMTV in addition to Arirang TV, KBS World,tvN Asia,ONE & ONE HD will bring Hallyu Wave to even more greater heights.It is also hoped that Hallyu Wave will also sweeps Brunei with their offering of hot performances and hopefully the 1st ever Kpop artist showcase/fan meet or even a full concert in Brunei!
Hallyu Wave is indeed sweeping Malaysia, the rest of Asia and many other countries in the world with the Aegyoness of the artists,the powerful dance moves and the looks.Oppa! LOL! And not to mention lots of $$$$ going into JYP,SM,Cube,J Tunes, etc agencies of these artists
My Music,My Choice
Each of us have our own music preference, some like Kpop,some Cpop,some Indopop,some Jpop,etc,etc. For me, I like Kpop and Cpop, and my likes might not be so mainstream or in other words not so popular artist. For this posting, I shall blog about 2 artists from the Cpop world since my choice for Kpop is well known which is CN Blue, as well as some others.
1.Evan Yo (Tsai Min Yo) - This 23 year old guy who will be coming up with his latest album soon, is multi-talented. He had been a DJ for Taiwan no.1 radio station,Hit FM I think last month for a week.He also composes his own songs, and for his last album he spend 9hours a day composing. In addition, he was also a graduate of National Taiwan normal university
For more info about Evan Yo you can go to his like page at Evan Yo www.facebook.com/evanyo.page. Some of his songs that I liked include Wo Ke Yi (I Can),Ji Mo Hao Le(Loneliness Enough) and one of his upbeat song Wo Hui Lai Le(Im back).

2.yen-j - This 23 year old who have been nominated for the latest Golden Melody Award Best New Artist Award which was won by Wei Li Ann. Last year as reported by Singapore's Mypaper, yen-j said that its jazz over medicine for him but his dad has given him a timeframe of 2 year to make it or break it,of which if he fails he would have to continue his studies to become a doctor. However, after the success of his 1st album,his dad changes his mind and gave him a 10 year time instead. In my own POV, even though he doesnt win the best new artist, he was more successful as seen from the popularity of him songs that became the OST of 2 Taiwanese drama. Some of his song that I liked include Good Thing from his 2nd, latest album that was released last May, Not Lonely.And this song is my ringtone!
