Read on UKP

Topp Dogg are a 13 member K-Pop group under the Stardom Entertainment. Having only debuted last year, they are rookies with some tough competition. However, their edgy style and versatility have meant that they have pushed their way onto the crowded K-Pop scene and caught many an eye. If you want to brush up your knowledge on the group a little more, you can take a look at our recent [Weekly Idol] feature on them.

[PLAYLIST] Anti-Valentine's Day K-Pop Songs!

Read on UKP

It’s that time of year again when we are inundated with messages from the media to show our respective boyfriend/girlfriend how much we love them through gifts, cards, flowers and general romantic behaviour. Yes! Valentine’s Day!

Many see this day as an opportunity to show their other halves just how much they appreciate them, something that is often forgotten during our busy day-to-day lives. Whereas others see it as another way for business corporations to empty our pockets as we are pressurised to consume more material goods to illustrate our emotions on a single day as opposed than showing it all year round through actions.

Whatever your opinion of the day, as the majority of pop songs are about love in some shape or form, we thought it would be interesting to share a playlist with songs that are completely Anti-Valentine’s! (I am not a bitter singleton, I promise. *shifty eyes*).

[TUNE IN] Album Review: Kang Gary - 'Mr. Gae'

Read on UnitedKpop

Kang Gary is one half of the hip hop duo LeeSSang and many will also know him as a cast member of the fast-paced variety show ‘Running Man’. On the weekly programme, he is known for his somewhat unintelligent yet often very capable character, as well as his loyalty to and strong love-line with fellow runner and actress Song Jihyo. Within his music though, Gary presents an incredibly cool and slick image. Many we’re excited to see what Gary would present and how he would fare in this, his first solo mini album.

[STYLE STEAL: Unisex] D-Unit - 'LUV ME'

Read on UnitedKpop

D-UNIT are a girl group that debuted back in 2012 with a very interesting premise – there would be a continuous addition and subtraction of members throughout the group’s career. While this kind of rotation system is quite popular among some Japanese artists such as Morning Musume, and AKB48, it is quite unusual for the K-Pop scene.
