Get the Look: Miss A - 'I Don't Need A Man'



[Originally posted on UnitedKpop - read it here!]

Miss A have recently made a great comeback with the catchy, reggae-style single “I Don’t Need A Man”!
As you may have expected for a song all about female independence, the girls take on a very dominant and masculine style for the concept. However, they also parallel this with a much more girly look that emphasises their right to be beautiful and feminine.
Want to know how you can emulate this look at British High Street prices? Keep reading!

Will the open nature of K-Pop construction hold up on the UK music scene?


[Originally featured on UnitedKpop - read it here]


I think it is fair to say that my whole family has been affected by my K-Pop consumption. They will now often sing along to the songs that come blaring from my iPod or ask me to put on a certain track. My parents even persevere to learn different group members’ names and ask what area of talent they specialise in. This leads to many hilarious mistakes on my family’s part, such as my Father calling TOP of BIGBANG “Glonk” for some peculiar reason…
In any case, they are incredibly accepting and have even begun to enjoy parts of it for themselves. A while ago though, my brother expressed his incredulity at the fact that he enjoyed the genre so much.

He said that he disliked the fact that the groups were so “obviously manufactured”, but that at the same time, he found the training systems of South Korean entertainment agencies very interesting.
