Hello Venus just released their new mini, MV releases on the 14th. It's called 'What Are You Doing Today'? You can listen to the tracks here: http://www.dkpopnews.net/2012/12/hello- ... album.html

I'm still going through it, but so far Romantic Love is my favorite song. What Are You Doing Today is good, but not as good as Venus.

I'd agree Romantic Love is the best, and Winter Fantasy is the only other OK song on there. Its a pretty disappointing follow-up to their awesome debut, but this is pretty typical of Kpop to fluctuate quality a lot.

It looks as if Alice lost some weight... I found her pretty nice the way she was !

I've been incredibly underwhelmed with both Hello Venus and NU'EST. Hello Venus' debut was pretty good, so I wish they would have followed it up with something a bit more memorable.



The title song isn't BAD, but all of you have to admit that you're not going to remember it even a month from now.

Wow, this song is fantastic. I hope the rest of the album (mini-album? whatever) is as good as this, cause the 2nd one was a huge letdown. The video is nice too, very striking and clean visuals, not too busy. The stupid rap parts was unnecessary, but it wasn't as bad and over-done as most female rap parts. It is pretty basic, but the arrangement and melodies are gorgeous. Music doesn't need to be super complex or unique to be great, it just helps sometimes.

Her points are all dumb and invalid though. It's a solid song, a pretty video and talented an pretty girls. I ordered an autographed copy off Soompi and I can't wait for it to get here.

Christ, seriously. I thank the gods every day of my life that I don't still follow Kpop, the comments on that site make me gag, not even counting the bullshit of the article itself. Its fucking HILARIOUS how they talk about it being "un-creative" when all the most popular Kpop music in the last 5 years has been un-creative copycat bullshit. Oh the irony, Kpop fandom. Hello Venus has actually been one of the most unique groups on the scene since they hit, but obviously the writer just likes usual shock-value sex appeal techno shit Kpop.

I got my autographed copy from my best friend in the mail today, and I'm so happy. It came with a Yoonjo photocard. I'd have preferred Yooyoung's, but Yoonjo is my second favorite so I'm still happy.

Nope, Soompi sometimes does exclusives and they got 400 autographed albums so my friend got us both an album.

So Hello Venus had their first solo concert the other day and there's no fancams but there is audio of Yooara singing Yui's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIEdLQlJ4vk">Goodbye Days</a>, in Japanese no less.

FUCKING PLEDIS
First they let HV rot after giving them mediocre and nonsensical crap and now they can't keep up the deal with the other agency and two members leave:
http://www.mnetamerica.com/news/article/72268/hellovenus-to-become-four-member-group

My favourites are still in, but I'm just angry at how mismanaged and underrepresented this group is.

I've been really upset about this for a couple days. Yoonjo was my second favorite and Yoo Ara was my third. There's really only two members left in the group that I care about now.

I don't know how I feel about this. I mean my favorite member is still there but I lost my 2nd and 3rd and I really don't care for Nara and Alice and now the tracks are going to be even heavier on Alice's vocals

I just hope it's not too ultra-candy-lollipop-cutesy.

Judging by the "2015 trailer" they just uploaded, it will be even more into the sexy direction:

I actually don't mind their last single other than that weeeiird butt dance move, but it could've been way worse. As it is, it's a little over the top just because of the butt dance, but it's otherwise pretty tasteful. And those houndstooth outfits are awesome!
 
The teaser for 2015 is just bad though. Bad and distasteful and all things once sexy crosses from classy into gross.

While I don't like the music at all (After School's Heaven is a sleazy song done right), I can't deny that I find Lime and Alice really damn hot.
