[PLAYLIST] K-Pop songs for the Spring Season!



Read on UKP

Given that Spring officially began on the 20th March this year, we thought it would be nice to compile a playlist that will help get everyone the mood for the spring season. Of course, the UK weather never usually stays any particular way for longer than a few days, but given the terrible rain and floods we have had over the past few months, we deserve to embrace any fleeting moments of warmth that we get. So now, we shall endeavour to feel fresh and flowery with the help of these K-Pop songs!

[PLAYLIST] K-Pop songs to help you relax



Read on UKP

In today's world, life can be full of a lot of stress and worry. We are increasingly expected to take on more tasks whilst working harder and longer in order to be successful or to get that wage we need. If you add on top of this the more general and personal difficulties life can throw at you, it can be easy to become completely overwhelmed with stress and anxiety at times. Whilst it is indeed important it is to deal with your educational, work or personal matters properly, it is equally important that you give yourself the time you wind down and chill out every so often. Everyone needs time to themselves and time to truly escape from the daily grind. Music, once again, is a great tool to help you do this. So, despite our last few K-Pop playlists being about helping you to pick yourself up and get going, this time around we are focusing on allowing yourself to settle and calm down. So, without further ado, let us begin the chill session!

[STYLE STEAL: Unisex] Jaejoong - 'Just Another Girl' MV



Read on UKP

Back at the end of last year, JYJ’s Jaejoong released an MV for his emotional song ‘Just Another Girl’. This song is part of his first solo album entitled ‘WWW (Who When Why)’ released at around the same time. Arguably, the most prominent outfit of this music video is the beautiful deep red suit that Jaejoong is shown storming around in. Instead of this outfit though, we will be focusing on how to mimic the more casual looks shown in this music video.
